do you want to choose a retiree,you cannot have what someone else has chosen regards to the retiree,that goes for Logic too if you want to,

3rd Vet Hamilton Alonso Schumacher Hamilton Webber Alonso Hamilton Perez Ham Butt Ros
Retiree Glock Senna Grosjean Kobayashi Perez Button Petrov Hulkenberg       Maldonado
Score                        

So i hope everything goes off alright,seems a bit stupid to bother racing here when there are so many countries we could be racing in where fans have a tradition with the sport but i guess we all need money for the coffers

as ever all changes posted after this,no edits,i think i'll watch practice 2 in about an hour

Yep I agree. As for "money for the coffers" is there that much income from the Bahrain GP to run the risk? I doubt it.

Anyhow my retiree is Schumacher as he has been doing a blinding job of it so far.

It's not just that. The GP has a contract; cancelling it will likely cost well over double what the GP would actually generate, because you'd have to break the contract, lose advertising, TV/Radio stations etc. have a contract for 20 races, the drivers still have to be paid etc. 

It may be simple to just 'call it off', but unless you have real reason to do so, the cost implications are too great, especially now...

Didn't know we all had to have different retirees, sorry for stealing Kobayashi Kowen.

qualy now,

@ just & cone i'd say bahrain GP fills bernie eccs coffers probably for F1,but i don't know and cone is right you can't jsut keep cancelling,i don't think the race should be stopped just for protests,we wouldn't have any sport left if we left it to the PC brigade.obviously if the country is out of control then F1 wouldn't be racing there like syria for example,couldn't race there!

So this is why you keep on winning!

You should make it so you can only predict up until Qualifying starts, otherwise people will wait until it's over and predict accordingly.

I stick with my prediction.

I guess I never asked, but how late do we have until our picks become final?
