TWPC 2011 GP2 Predictions - R03 Montecarlo RESULTS

At first, we have to announce proudly that our Competition is now run in three languages. That's because since Barcelona round, Nextgen-Auto incorpored its French community into the GP2 predictions, and thanks to user 13 there are French translations for the reports. Merci to our brave new concursants! :)

And now, the races. Montecarlo gave us spectacular and quite chaotical races, the Feature won by Davide Valsecchi, and Sprint one won by Charles Pic. With all this, we can show the results of this GP2 Two Worlds Prediction Competition round:

Hurrah to Melendi (TH) and theTardis (AS), winners of this difficult round! Mentions to artur177 (TT), who predicted correct winner of Feature Race, and to Jilhou (NA) who predicted correct poleman and winner of Sprint Race.
Roberto.R (LT) is the new leader, with five runner-ups; at Forums Championship, Autosport is at the top now, meanwhile Nextgen-Auto climbed to sixth position.
Observations:
- F1wingwins (TH): Put Bianchi twice (2nd and 7th) in his R1 forecasts, so these parts of it weren't valid.
- Dispenser89 (AS): Entered Coletti twice (2nd and 5th) in his R2 predictions, so these parts of it weren't valid.
- Jilhou (NA): Wrote Pic twice (4th and 7th) in his R1 forecasts, so that parts of it weren't valid.
- facha (LT) and BT-44 (CB): Put predictions after deadline, so they weren't considered valid for this round.
- In all predictions, were considered driver replacements in this form: Parente x Vietoris, Ceccon x Rigon and Turvey x Aleshin. Alas, all Turvey predictions in the Championships Round, since the British driver had already raced this year, were considered valid.
