Wow, Raikonnen is sick so they've put Grosjean on a plane from Paris to Barcelona in the hope he can take over from the Lotus test driver in the afternoon. That's commitment.

finally back on broadband

GRIDBIDS 2013 is now up,i am not sure if pjams or wick are about or doing it but I urge you to join for the season and we can have a vgchartz group as it is a very good game but you have to join and pick before the first practice of every race so join up now here http://gridbids.com/index.php

where as we will do what we did before by posting before the race with a points of

1st 25pts, 2nd 15pts, 3rd 15pts, place 5pts, 1st retiree 20pts and dnf 10pts

ok 3 days to go before practice,i'm bumping to see if any of you want to join gridbids,link in the post above

and if you want to play the prediction game then say hello and i'll give you a reminder as and when you need to predict

Gosh, going to watch the 12 hours of Sebring and then F1 Australia pretty much back to back, I'll be exhausted.

Also, could be that I'm not online untill Monday, so I hope it's alright if I "predict" now, just in case? I'll try to join Gridbids for the races after if it's still possible.

Anyways, my "predictions":

It looks like Red Bull will win the constructors championship again this year. Oh well.

yes no probs,proclus,try and join gridbids ,it is simple enough and but you have to submit before first practice for gridbids,that game gets better as it gets more difficult to pick

anyone else want to join gridbids then you better do before friday

@player you reckon 4 in a row then

i don't think the BBC have the opener,just highlights

and people can just put their predictions down if they want,this time round you can choose the same DNF as someone else okay,i'll message the others to see if they want to play 2013

Just a reminder if you want to play F1,if you put your name down i will message you when you need to predict

the first race is this weekend,

also if you did it last year then join Gridbids,link a few posts above as it is really good and we can have a league in that game,but you have to predict before practice in gridbids which is not far away

Last call for http://www.gridbids.com/index.php if you want to play with me,pjams and hopefully a few others

for the VGC game if you want to play let me know and i will remind you,you have until sunday for vgc,but you can join late in that one as loads of points up for grabs

i have decided on 25 for win,15 for 2nd/3rd, 5 for place

20 for first retiree and 10 for DNF

and you can choose who ever you want for DNF ok,it doesn't matter if it is the same as someone else this year

1. Hamilton
2. Webber
3. Perez

DNF. Karthikeyan.
