Kubica
Nakajima

Here I am, quoting myself again. This was my lineup by the end of P1.

I didn't stay up for P2. However, I am liking my lineup at this point. Dumping Kimi at 8.8 and picking up Rosberg is looking like a good move at this point. We'll see if they can perform when it counts.

I can't believe Kimi dropped to 8.30M!!! I really should've waited a couple weeks to pick him up. I should've stuck with Trulli.

I am such an F-ing idiot!!!!!! Was in process of swapping Kubica for Bourdais and I as allowed to sell Kubica, but the deadline passed just as I was about to add Bourdais. Now I am left with 7 mil sitting idle and doing nothing for me.....Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!

Even so, I was going to pick up one of the two STR Sebastians, I was analyzing to figure out which one......I guess 70 pts is better than nothing.

In week #1 BolognaGP had a top 10 score with only 3 drivers based largely on points from unused budget. I think you will be fine.

I am screwed in China. I will drop way down the points. But I honestly think that I will make it up in later races. Ferrari just HAS to figure something out.

Here's my set up:

-SUT
-HAM (sold Truli last night after P1 for 10.0, picked up HAM for 11.2 using 1.1 of unused credit)
-ROS
-BUT
-BAR
-VET

Hamilton up to 11.5 today. The Hamilton/Truli swap should hopefully be---at worst--a wash for me this weekend. But make no mistake: McLaren is on the move and I don't think we'll see Hamilton at 11.2 the rest of the year.

We will meet here for Practice 3 tonight at 8:00 pm PST. It is NOT on SPEED.

Once Practice 3 is over, I will create the Qualifying and Race Banter Thread. We should all move over there and start fresh for the qualifying session and the race.

Qualifying is on tonight at 11:00 pm PST.

Race is on at 11:30 pm PST. Let's make SPEED our default viewing source for now.
