Pickem Results - Bahrain Grand Prix Online

[Mark]

2009 has started :D

Firstly a big congratulations to Brawn on the start to the season and to those who somehow knew in advance they would be getting a 1-2. And they are: scaliwag, Garry Walker and F1boat.

But the first winners prize of 2009 goes to scaliwag, a very close thing for the win!

[AJP]

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure of the website to see the pickems results.

Could you post it please?

Cheers

[Mark]

Sorry,
You need to go to the 'Pickems' forum and click Formula 1 or use this link.

Decent start for the reigning champion....

not Hamilton - ME! :)

Quite pleasantly surprised as top Brawn car I predicted was Barrichello to finish 8th!

[janneppi]

Pretty abysmal performances by everyone :D , 26 points for the winner, you would barely be 80th in the wrc pickems with that kind of accuracy. :)

[DazzlaF1]

6th place, thats sweet :D

[F1boat]

I am so happy :) I risked predicting Brawn GP 1-2 and I got good result :)

[AJP]

Just had a look on the site,
I can't find my name..
Is there a reason for this?
Thanks

I have two entries for you for the Malaysian GP but none for Australia I'm afraid.

[AJP]

How is that possible??
If I had of lodged for the Malaysian GP back on the 22nd, How would it let me put another set of pickems in on the 30th.
Can you please ammend this.

You can enter a pickems as many times as you wish. Your second entry will override the first. Useful if you change your mind.

Unfortunately it's up to you to make sure you are entering the right pickems!

[AJP]

So what your saying is that although it is quite clear that I did post the pickems for the first race, accidently in the wrong thread, you can not not include me in the results from round one? Or is it that you will not?

[Mark]

Ordinarily the answer would be no. Since I have to re-do the entire results from scratch. But since it's the first race I'll let you off. You've now been put in a very handy 9th place.

[Sleeper]

118th. Thats a wors start than last year. :\

[52Paddy]

52nd. Well, its still not a huge gap to the leader so anything can happen.

[AJP]

Thank you Mark.

[J4MIE]

AJP, you're lucky that Mark seems to be getting more and more generous in his old age :D

Here's to a great season both on and off the racetrack :up:

[Mark]

It's going to be a lot tougher next year when we introduce the medals system!

[Bezza]

It's going to be a lot tougher next year when we introduce the medals system!

:laugh:

[stevie_gerrard]

i should have known better to predict a ferrari win :(

Start as you mean to go on :p :

[Mark]

Garry Walker stripped of 2nd place - down to 4th. F1Boat promoted to second. AJP loses his 9th place and pluges to 27th.

Well y'all shouldn't lie to the stewards :p

[Bezza]

Mark, you have only taken Hamilton out of the 3rd. You've forgotten to reinstate Trulli!

[Mark]

Ah yes!

Shock news! scaliwag stripped of win! http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/../pickems/round.php?round=1&series=f1&userid=88716Simmo666 is the new winner!

[Psycho!]

I fell from 15 to 16....I expected much worse results,so I am satisfied!!!

[Garry Walker]

Not bad for a debut :D

[Bezza]

And I rocket up to 7th. As reigning champion am I determined to become the first ever person to keep hold of their pickem title!

[woody2goody]

I went up the leaderboard because of Trulli :)

It was quite an unpredictable first race though, what with the McLarens, BMWs AND Ferrari not scoring.

[DazzlaF1]

Demoted from 6th to 8th :(

[52Paddy]

Oh no, I've gone from 52nd down to 100th. :(

But, in all fairness, I'm glad that the result was changed. I'm much happier with it that way :)

[pettersolberg29]

Up to 15th for me. Gain of 39 places.

[52Paddy]

Malaysian GP was fairly ok for me. Back up to =39th. :up:

[DazzlaF1]

A rubbish Malaysia for me, down 15 to 23rd :(

[Bezza]

Decent performance from tough to predict races. Can't be having Garry Walker winning ;)

[Mark]

Can I remind players again. DO NOT edit your pickems, if you wish to change please post again.

The entries are read by a computerised system which depends on things being in the right order the right place, the right spellings, the right punctuation etc. So if you edit them yourself, there's a high chance the system will at best misread them so you won't get the points or the entire system will fail meaning I have to pick through the thread to find the problem.

[stevie_gerrard]

After just scraping the top 100 at Australia, a 51st is heading in the right direction :)

[Garry Walker]

Decent performance from tough to predict races. Can't be having Garry Walker winning ;)

:D

[SkyTom]

Up to 4th, got to keep the pressure up :D

[52Paddy]

Ah nice one. 8th in China and 17th overall :up:

[DazzlaF1]

Ah nice one. 8th in China and 17th overall :up:

Im getting worse, =76th in China and down to 34th overall :(

[Bezza]

:D

Stop smiling - look who's winning now! ;)

[DazzlaF1]

Improvement, yay

36th in Bahrain, up to 29th overall :D

[F1boat]

I am still in the top 10 of the championship LOL

[52Paddy]

Still hanging on in 18th :)

[Garry Walker]

Usually we have to have the pickems in before the 1st practise, it seems that will not be the case with the Monaco GP though, as the fp1 and fp2 take place on THURSDAY, but the deadline is friday.

[52Paddy]

Ssh! ;)

[Nikki Katz]

I think that there's a problem with the Monaco pickem, mine isn't coming up (I think I picked the winner), and there seem to be a lot of other people who per the results didn't enter this race.

[Priorat]

I think that these results are from 2008 because Coulthard appears in them.

[AndySpeed]

Yeah the results are all wrong! ;)

[Nikki Katz]

Heh, I was wondering why so few people picked Button. Am somewhat surprised that 2 people picked him for victory last year!

[SkyDan]

It looks like last years pickems were used and compared to this years results...

Needs fixing ;)

[methanolHuffer]

I was wondering why louie was picked to win by so many.

[xyz123]

I think the pickems may even be from 2007. I noticed Wurz's name in a couple of them.

[AJP]

My results have not been posted either.

[Miika]

My points from Monaco seem to be missing from the results, and I did enter that round as well.

[Sleeper]

As much as I like being second (my highest of the year) I guarantee I didnt pick Coulthard for this race.

[Robinho]

my results are for completley different pickems than those i chose for Monaco? i picked Button to win, as in the Monaco thread, but have points for Kimi? the rest are also all wrong

[F1boat]

Fix the pickems, don't be like Max :)

[dc10]

My results don't appear at all :(
and I did enter
PICKEM:100007,dc10,J Button,F Massa,M Webber,F Alonso,R Barrichello,L Hamilton,K Raikkonen,S Vettel

I also see my Bahrain results are missing too:
PICKEM:100007,dc10,J Button,S Vettel,R Barrichello,T Glock,M Webber,K Raikkonen,L Hamilton,F Alonso

Is this a dastardly plot?

[Josti]

Yeah, this list is completely wrong. Trulli won, as what my pickem said :p

[smedley]

Definitely entered my pickems for Monaco '09 and do not appear in the results!

[Mark]

I will fix them tomorrow.

[Firstgear]

I will fix them tomorrow.

No, don't!! I moved up 5 positions in the Championship Standings :D

[Mark]

Too late :p

I sometimes wonder if anyone is bothered about pickems, until they go wrong then my inbox gets flooded :p

[F1boat]

Wohoo, I am still in good position in the championship.

[DazzlaF1]

15th in Monaco, up to equal 16th overall, im back on form :D

[Sleeper]

Shouldhave kept my mouth shut, I went form 2nd to 42nd. :\

[DazzlaF1]

12th in Turkey, up to 9th overall :D

[52Paddy]

Ugh! Down 10 places :s

[Bezza]

Forgot to enter, been away for a week - thats my chances of a double-championship completely gone!!! :(

[DazzlaF1]

Not bad 28th for the race, down to =11th

[stevie_gerrard]

3rd in the race, best result i've ever had in one race :up: :D

[DazzlaF1]

what the heck's happened to me, im down to 16th :(

[Mark]

Nobody picked Rubens for the win this time!

[jimakos]

Nobody picked Rubens for the win this time!

Yeah,noboby picked the winner!
I wonder how noone thought Rubens for this race!!

[Kevincal]

Let's be honest, Rubens had been very mediocre all season, until lately! Very strange how all of a sudden Rubens and Jenson have swapped positions. Remember Rubens made a fuss about Jenson getting preferential treatment? Maybe they thought Jenson has the championship in the bag so they'll give Rubens #1 spot (on the team) for a few races to make him happy. ;) Also I think Rubens was racing to win for Massa.

I didn't pick Rubens AT ALL in this pickems and I got 2nd place HA! :-D

[jimakos]

Very pleased with 17th position!
I'm happy I predected the winner :)

[Tazio]

Very pleased with 17th position!
I'm happy I predected the winner :) Wow :rolleyes: No really I mean Congrat's scro' :p :

[Mark]

Very very close at the top now. The top three haven't changed after the Japanese Grand Prix, but there are only 3 points separating 1st and 2nd, with 250 for a win!

12th place upwards are in with a shout of the championship. The rest are out of it!

[Mark]

The Formula 1 championship has been decided but what the BBC failed to mention in their coverage is that the pickems are still very much alive.

SkyTom is the firm favourite to take the title, having a healthy 53 point lead going to Abu Dhabi but with 250 points for a win it's not in the bag yet!

[jimakos]

Very pleaed with 10th position in a so difficult race!!!

[woody2goody]

Woo hoo my first ever victory! I'd like to thank the academy, Bernie and Mark Webber for making it all possible... <sniff>

I was a bit surprised that I was the only person to pick Mark Webber to win :)

[Mark]

Congratulations to smedley who gets the top 4 exactly right and wins the final race of the season by some margin.

The final standings of the championship. In the end we saw no change in the top 4 in this race so the top 3 in the championship this year are:

WINNER: SkyTom : 3212pts
2nd: meph: 3152pts
3rd: apollonia: 3120pts

SkyTom adds the 2009 crown to the F1 pickems championship he won in 2006 too! :champion:

[SkyTom]

:D
Am so so pleased! Was really close all year.. Meph pushed me right to the end.

tyvm Mark for again organising pickems, we love it :D

[SkyDan]

congrats Tom. :)

[Priorat]

Congratulations SkyTom and thank you Mark!!

[F1boat]

Congrats Tom!

[DazzlaF1]

Congrats Tom.

30th spot overall for me, im quietly happy with that

[woody2goody]

I'm very happy to have finished 15th in the championship in my first full season of doing the pickems :)

Also I got my first win for the Brazilian GP :)

In all I think everyone had trouble picking the winners this year, it was great fun.
