I'm having a season like Red Bull. Last year was pretty good considering my late start and this year is terrible so far.

Maybe I have to occasionally put Alonso and Hamilton in higher places.

It would be wise!

It goes against every natural instinct that I have.

When there's points at stake, you've gotta go with who'll win them at a given time!

Points are useless without prizes and there ain't no prizes.

I am confused now. How do you score points?

Don't ask me! I'm too busy replicating Petrov's 2011 season - 3rd in Australia, no points on Malaysia.

By guessing the correct positions. The points work the same as F1 points.

If you guessed Alonso would win you get 25.
Perez - 18.
Hamilton - 15.

Etc.

Exactly, there is a possible 101 points available for matching all ten drivers to the correct positions, if you don't guess the correct finishing position, you get nothing!

Harder than it looks especially in a year without a 1st place constant. It was hard not to pick Vettel for 1st every race in 2011 and be assured your 25 points. This year has been much more interesting!

You can say that again, no-one predicted that ALO would win the race... for the next race I will put 24 names into a hat and pick 10 random drivers...

OK, that may be taking it a bit too far

That would be funny if you picked out an HRT one-two

What would be amazing is if it actually happened...

Karthikeyen putting a lap on Seb would be comedy gold!

Imagine the hissy fit you'd get from SV if that actually happened... given the unpredictability so far this season, anything is possible!

Oh I can picture it now! Seb would be pummelling his fists against the wall of his garage in rage, Christian Horner would be all-out for laying the blame on every single team but his own for their lack of pace, and Helmut Marko would be sharpening his hunting knife and going out with murderous intent, in the light of someone having the cheek to lap his golden boy.

FFS, it's not like the guy's the first driver to be pissed at another driver. These things happen in racing and things are said when someone is still riled up. No doubt once the dust is settled a calmer and clearer assessment of things will be possible.
