Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the 6th round of the very exciting 2012 Championship. As you might remember Monaco is unique in more than one sense as they hold the opening practice sessions on Thursday without activities on Friday. For us is regular schedule submitting our QF picks on Friday or Saturday before qualifying starts.
I have very important news to tell you, but before that let me give you a quick picture of what happened in track today in advance to a more in-depth analysis for tomorrow.
P1- ALO (1.16.265) GRO PER HAM MAL MAS KOB BUT VET ROS

There was rain 15 minutes into the 2nd session which meant all the times were set early on, but as I said, we’ll get back to this in our Friday mail.
Now, I need your attention. From now on, all our race picks will be kept secret until the start of the race. The main change is that we’ll not be able to see the rest of the group’s race picks as well as keeping our own from the others. And here comes the best part: when planning and executing all of this very elaborate changes, Manbos is now providing us with a full chart showing the number of votes each driver receives from the group including its percentages.
For example, our forecasts for the Spanish GP looks like this:

To access this feature click GP Results from the bottom menu, then select Grand Prix / Race, and to right click “Race Statistics Forecast” in bold letters.
The columns show the driver, number of picks, percentage of the votes, driver’s final position, and highlighted the position the driver actually finished in the official results.
During the voting process you will be able to follow the number of picks received by each driver including your own but won’t be able to know which member are they from.
I’m pretty excited about this new feature, I think you’ll agree with me this adds a new level of enjoyment to our already fabulous Grand Prix weekends. And if you have a minute, tell what you think about these changes.
In the name of the whole group, I want to thank Manbos for huge amount of work all this represents. And wait until you see what Santiago and Manbos had been working on, another fantastic and unique tool for us to analyse and enjoy Grand Prix racing. I can’t say no more, it’s coming soon!
‘Till tomorrow
