Yes, thanks N.Jones for this effort. It's good fun.
I can say I'm so regular (4th in FGP and 4th in Pickems also)
looking forward to next season!

I'm still kicking myself in the head for choosing Ferrari over Mercedes engines.
Still remember when I decided to trade a driver to be able to afford the Ferrari engine instead of going with my gut feeling and sticking with Mercedes. Damn!
Lol. I didn't believe the Brawn hype, even though I was one of a few who choose Honda in 2008 because of Ross' involvement. Secondly, I was seriously thinking of going with Vettel and the Red Bull chassis but I thought Adrian Newey's designs were too fragile. Was I Wrong!
Hello all, just returned from Italy so please excuse me for not writing earlier.
First, may I thank Mr. Jones for his time effort and dedication in running this competition, without you I guess there would have been no FGP,SO ONCE AGAIN THANKS JONESY, second, a big thank you to all the participants I hope everyone enters next year and good luck and may the best man/women win, and last but not least thanks to all those who have congratulated me, honestly I really don't deserve it, believe me it was more luck than judgment.
Best regards scaliwag.
Thanks again N.J.
My team was a mix of the strong (Barichello, RedBull) and the nearly departed (Raikkonen, Toyota). Looking forward to 2010's efforts!
What happened to my picks was rather the opposite. Once I picked the Mercedes engine and Ferrari chassis (the picks I had confidence in :s ) my budget was gone, so the last minute offering of Button-Barrichello was what I could afford. It was a pure shot in the dark based on a couple of good testing sessions. I got pushed off the podium by picking Spa based on Button's previous win there - and the blighter repaid my confidence by not making it through the first lap!Quote:

Thanks a lot for running the game. It added a lot of fun to the season. Hope you have better luck with your own picks next year (or that the no-good-rotten Chicago National League Ball Club wins the World Series).

You are welcome! Hopefully you can defend your title as I don't think anyone has been a two time winner in FGP.Quote:

That is not a bad decision on your part. They were cheap but for once the testing times were reflected come race day. Hopefully things go just as well next year.Quote:

Ok, so 41st place is nothing to be proud of but it was a giggle none-the-less.
Congrats to all those who placed above us at team raggin it. And a great big "ave it!" To those bellow us ;) :p
I think from next year I'll have to stop picking my teams based on my fave drivers.
Thanks NJ.
Your Welcome. Who knows what the drivers and teams will look like next year. I do have the rates already planned out, they are just missing some teams and drivers. The website is in the planning stages too (I've gone through two full rewrites already and am about to go through a third). I can't promise that it will be a perfect website, but a website it will be. :)
