2 April :
What on earth is wrong with DIs tipping? Ian C was indeed top this week, but his tip for bottom, Ian B, was in fact in the top ten scorers - 7th highest! One the plus side DI got one right at least - but he was hopeless with the Turner tip! At the top after Ian C (biggest climber this week up 6 places) we had Andrew, John Fa, Rob, Yasin, Liam, Ian B, Toby, James L and Niel. James L is our new leader as he leapfrogs Lucy then we have Liam, Peter, Terry (top rookie), Andrew, Ian C, John Fa, Simon and Emily. At the bottom defending Turner champion Richard was "best" then we had David (biggest faller down 6 places), Ross, Pascale, Ben, Malcolm, John Fi, Pauline, Charlotte and Suzannah. Ross retains the Turner lead but Richard jumps 5 places and he is closely followed by Pascale - so three previous Turner champions with eight titles between them in the last three places. After Pascale we have Tom, Nick, Ben, George K, Malcolm and Anne-Marie while Josh is our top turner rookie in 39th. No pit-stops yet but lots of time before Miami!

29 March :
Dick's tips? Top scorer Ian C, bottom scorer Ian B!

18 March :
Peter did indeed lead the way this week with a splendid score over 600 - 612. Dick's other tip, Yasin did make 10th lowest but Ross led the way with a score below 200 - 184, mightily impressive. Yasin was however the biggest faller this week (so DI was sort-of in the right territory), down 17 places while Paul was the biggest riser, up 11 places. After Peter we had Lucy (a great show, now leading the Championship and the Sprint, can it last?) then James L, Simon, Emily (great showing from a rookie there), Ian C, Liam, Terry (another rookie), Niel and Chris. Lucy is top while James L drops to 2nd, then we have Peter, Liam, Emily, Terry (two rookies in the top 10), Simon, Andrew, Claire and John Fa. At the bottom Ross was the lowest score by some margin and then we had Pascale, George K, Nick, Tom, Ben, Richard, Jon M, Anne-Marie and Yasin. Bolstered by his amazing low score Ross drops 6 places and is the new Turner leader, then we have Tom, George K, Nick, Pascale, Ian b, Richard, John Fi, Anne-Marie and John M. Pit lane soon to open, how much action will we see!

15 March :
My mistake! Peter has MER, not MCL!

15 March :
Dick's tips? Not a week to have either MCL driver or the team if you are aiming at top spot! Adjacent tips in the championship table - for top I'm going for Peter with that ANT/HAM/MCL combo while for bottom spot my tip is Yasin - I reckon that NOR/BOR/MCL/AUD line-up will be tough to beat!

9 March :
Pretty good with the tips - Andrew was 3rd and Tom indeed took last place. Previous champion James L led the way ahead of previous champion Lucy with previous double champion Andrew 3rd - so cream at the top early on! We then had Claire, Liam & Terry (great performance by a rookie there), Dom, Emily (another rookie), John Fa and Neil. Tom led the way at the bottom (that PIA/HAD/HUL trio was irresistible) and then we had Ian B, John Fi, Nick, George K, Richard, Ross, Jamie, Anne-Marie and Josh ('best' rookie) - so some real Turner heavyweights at the bottom end. Next stop China and after that we have the first pit-stop opportunity - will we see some changes?

8 March :
Dick's tips? For top spot I'm going for Andrew and for bottom spot Tom!

6 March :
According to DW's brilliant analysis least popular drivers are HAD and ALB, both with 3 selections while the most popular with 31 is rookie LIN. Red are the least popular team (2 selections) while leading the way we have AUD on 27.

6 March :
At a quick glance we have 8 TPs who have gone for an AST driver and team selection including some real Turner and Saucer heavyweights while only Niel and James J have gone for RED - but all teams are selected! As for driver selections - beyond DIs brain.....
