well, if he doesn't finish, he isn't much good, is he?

Talentless ******

I have him too

I just brought him in and made him my Talent Driver.

Yeah most drivers change their own tires while they are in the pit lane, so I can see how you would think it is his fault.

Schumi would be worth it if Mercedes keep this pace, I hope to pick him up next race. just seems weird picking him as a "talent driver" when the concept should be for the likes of rookies or new drivers.

It does say 'fresh talent' in the how to play section.

you better be careful if you do that if he's your only driver under 15M. Because if he has a decent race this weekend, his value will surely rise above 15M, and you'll be left without a talent driver.

In the 'how to play' it says:

If your talents value increases to over 15 million you will still be eligible to keep him, however any fresh talent selection will have to be under 15 million.

To me that looks like you can only select a driver as your talent if his value is under 15m when you make the selection but remains your talent driver even if his value goes up. I'm not totally sure though.

sounds to me like you keep him as a regular driver, but he doesn't benefit from the Talent bonus anymore. that was my point, a 50% bonus would be a bummer to lose.

My exact thoughts as well!

How has the betting been working out for you all? I've been nailing all of the bets. Except for this last one, Kimi dropped like a dead weight. I was in it for making a nice bank on him too.

1st two races I won 1 out of 2 bets on each (safety car), forgot to bet on china.

[geetface9]

forgot to bet in china, and I forgot what my betting results were for the first two races

Thanks for the reminder, the first three races, I forgot to bet until it was too late! got my bets in this time, $50k on A brit to win the race and $50k on Paul di Resta finishing in the top 10!

I didn't bet the first race. Wanted to get a feel for the season before I started dropping cash.

In malaysia I made two 100k bets, and won both. In China I did the same and lost both. In total I've made about 400k profit on bets, I think.
