same here with Bianchi. I couldn't expect much more with it

we were smart, the new team picks will hardly give any better from now on

Well Massa was a shit pick

Round 01 Australian GP

One race down and eighteen to go. Going into the first race most felt that a Mercedes was a sure bet to win. Well four of you were right and the other 14 were downright unlucky. Thankfully no-one picked Red Bull duo Daniel Ricciardo (DSQ from 2nd) and Seb Vettel (retired... "this is ridiculous!") although this was probably a good race to pick a Toro Rosso, who typically pick up points in Australia. And no-one did. Now some did pick Felipe Massa and Valterri Bottas and who can blame them following the impressive pre-season form of the Williams? But despite that impressive form you cannot account for a technically challenged Caterham heading into turn one on the first lap of the opening race.

I see my alphabetical experiment has started reasonably well

Amazing, 2 DNF. At least it was Bianchi this time...

Yay Perez. Oh wait it's not 2012

pretty satisfied with that.

Stupid Williams fooled me on Bahrain testings

Perez

I would laugh but I chose the same. Malaysia hasn't been kind to you these past 2 seasons has it?

lol, no, it hasn't!

Alonso is always a safe choice in the first half of the season. After Italy not so much

You say that but he wasn't a safe choice at Malaysia last year? Lol

Hamilton was a safe choice before Melbourne too and look what happened

Happy that Massa didn't listen to team orders

Round 02 Malaysian GP

Two races done already. It wasn't too long ago that we were waiting to hear the new engines, I mean power units, in anger for the first time.

The race was all about Lewis Hamilton, who dominated qualifying and the race. And while Lewis has always been competitive in Malaysia before Sunday he'd never stood on the top step of the podium. Congratulations to our winners of the round, stimaro and Philthy82.

While Mercedes was the team of choice in Australia, this time Williams was the overall pickers choice with 7 people choosing Felipe Massa and 4 going for Valtteri Bottas. The team had a competent weekend with a 7th and 8th place result. However it was also an incompetent weekend as the team failed to properly manage the early race challenge to Kevin Magnussen and then got embroiled in team orders when trying to challenge Jenson Button.

Now we're two races in we can start looking at the overall scores. Versus this time in 2013 the average score is much higher. Many players have been burnt in the first two rounds by choosing Lewis Hamilton, Jules Bianchi and Sergio Perez. Some players have used two of those three. But there are 17 more races to change our luck.

Round winners (2 - Hamilton 1st) - stimaro and Philthy82
Pick of the week (7 - Massa 7th) - Sam, FREELAND, Stunky, Vassago, racingdj, speedworx and Omega
