35 entries in. There are definitely some good combinations left out there. Some highly-tipped drivers and teams have hardly been picked

It's funny how these patterns go. There's one top team that's hardly been picked but its drivers have been loads, and then another where the drivers have hardly been picked but the car quite a few times. And there's another top team that's barely been picked along with it's main driver

There's definitely some big potential points to be made yet

That's because a lot of us got burnt on the Fezza chassis last year!
Not sue about every one else but the cost is a bigger factor this year, which is good, because you have to think about it all. Last year I was a bit late with my entry and so there were less "viable" options (considering the 2008 results)

Regarding the obvious mention of Ferrari drivers being chosen frequently but not the team, well I think that's because from my brief analysis of the points system, a good scoring (i.e. winning/top 3) driver is easily going to outscore the equivalent positions from either chassis or engine (even taking into account their multiple scorings). And so I don't think people are thinking Ferrari will do poorly this year - quite the opposite - but it makes sense to bag the drivers instead.

Of course I've flown in the face of such logic by ignoring Alonso or Massa when had the chance and have gone with Button! But for one, if you want to win you need to take risks and not just do what everyone else does, and two, in keeping with the selecting good drivers over chassis/engine logic, I wanted to have a solid second driver too. Still Massa over Button could have been a wise choice... we'll just have to see! That's why it's all so exciting!!! Anyway my logic with selecting Button was on the positions gained bonus; Button is someone who may not always qualify right up front this year but with his solid race performance and driving style, he could well consistently make up places in the race and thus perhaps even outscore the winner...

[jab]

Button's a fair choice, I think. Not many have gone for him so far and if the car's good, he's bound to get good results - even if they're not as good as Lewis', they'll still be good, and he's consistent

I'll post my own analysis on the whole thing and how many have gone for who closer to next weekend
