I salute your bravery to sit out there on that wispy twig. :-)

I never won, but I was 3rd in the old F1PP and 7th in the old F1Pick6.

I have the tropies in my trophy room. :-)

Inigo:

This will be a VERY interesting season. There seem to be more drivers with something to prove than usual.

I would include:

Ralf & Jarno
Fisi
Massa
Heidfeld & Webber
Kimi & Wayne

Who else?

I'd have to say Barichello as well, agwii... Although it'll be tough for him to prove anything while Michael is there!

And of course, Jacques... Perhaps he has the most to prove of all, given that many (including myself) think he is washed up...

Rf- I should clarify that I was the co-winner a couple of years back. It ended up a tie!

Oy!

How could I have overlooked JV?

Rubinho? Is his contract up at the end of 2005? Do the Team Owners think he's the second best driver? I have seen flashes of brilliance but ...

We would like to announce that Kicking-back will be taking over the running of the F1 Results Predictions Competition

So any queries or submissions should go to him. He'll deal with this far better than I would.

He'll post all the updates and threads from now on, so kep your eyes pealed.

Thanks k-b and good luck!

KB:

Juan Montoya picked up Wayne as a nickname when he was racing in the US, before he moved to F1. Nicknames are not uncommon in the USA, or in some other countries. For example, Rubens Barichello's nickname is Rubinho, which is a diminutive form of Rubens. Niki Lauda was called the Rat. Alain Prost was called the Professor

When the late, great Henry N. Manney III was alive, he often gave drivers nicknames. Olivier Gendiebien was given the nickname "Jelleybean."

Even the great Neubauer was called the "fat man."

I see many nicknames or nome de plumes here too.

Thank for asking!

I never knew that some drivers had nick names and who is this Prost that you speak off?

I must admit I didn't know about Montoya's, although that one is obviously not common place in F1.

What was topical about it? Remember there is parc ferme for the off topic stuff

I'm going radical and having Michael first, but for the sheer hell of it not Ferrari. I'm chosing my season bets too. Montoya is 10-1 and I think those are pretty good odds.
