If you pick Force India drivers then you can pick both Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen. That is the only real reason I see to pick either of them - besides the fact that they are now running a McLaren engine.

I picked both Hamilton and Raikkonen but also managed to squeeze in Vettel and Button. Seems foolish to pick Force India drivers since they won't likely even finish the race.

That's not a bad lineup right there. Especially since Button looks to qualify well.

But I still think that Hamilton, Alonso, Kubica, Vettel gives you more quality in the middle. Button is a boom or bust at this point.

Yes, but Kubica won't be using KERS (then again, maybe that's a good thing?) I just couldn't convince myself to pick Alonso and felt like rooting for Button this time. We'll see how it goes.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Everything on SPEED is live. Today they are just not showing Practice Session 1. They are only showing Practice Session #2. You can see Practice Session #1 online in an hour but not on SPEED.

So we shouldn't have any issues with the online stuff being out of sync with SPEED after all.

Sorry for the fire drill.

With all the changes and no one really knowing how the teams will fair, we are all gambling to some extent with the first race. Picking our favorite drivers and a few others.. We could all be surprised which one of our fantasy teams is in the lead after the first race...

We know the drivers, but not the new cars.... you base it on a teams/drivers history and give whatever credit you want to the sessions they have been having. But who knows who is sandbagging.. I bet someone is....

It's fun to guess though...
