Pick the Podium - F-1- 2020

[Retroram52]

Well, it is that time of the year in Formula 1 (first race is in two weeks) and here we are with another new season. The rules are the same as last year except for one addition. For those who need a refresher here they are.

Six points are awarded for correctly choosing the winner, 4 points for second, and 2 points for third with 1 point for correctly choosing the fourth place finisher if you choose to make that selection. If you don't make a selection, no points will be awarded for the correct selection of the fourth place finisher.

If you get the whole enchilada correct, you'll receive a 2-point bonus. So, if you clean-sweep the four selections, you get an extra 2-points.

As in years past, the selections must be completed before the start of the race meaning before they start their engines.

Just a reminder. Here is how we finished last year:

Here's How We Did:

BoiseStateFan27: 0 points-skunked
forty_three: 0 points-Skunked

Also, Jimmie Johnson of NASCAR fame is being fitted with a seat in one of the F-1 teams. The story is on the F-1 homepage. Could it be Jimmie is planning on running a full season in F-1?

Jimmy J is almost too old for NASCAR, not likely he'd survive in F1.

And I like Jimmy.

yeah F-1 is definitely a young man's game.
Most likely he is gonna do a tony stewart type thing. Just take some laps.

Did you see when Gordo and JPM swapped rides? That was cool. JPM was with Williams at the time I think?

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, after that swap/test session, Stewart remarked that he would win every NASCAR event he entered if he was permitted to run the F-1 car braking system on his NASCAR chassis.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

So Bahrain to run empty?? No spectators??

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Aussie GP cancelled.

 

[Retroram52]

Just plain stupid.

 

[Retroram52]

At any rate I'll post the official header for the record.

McLaren has sick folks and left of their own volition.

I get it.

But I was hoping.

Looks like Drive to Survive for a while now. And I've also taken a liking to Youtube historical hockey.....
