Hmm second. Would have rather picked Rosberg while winning.

yeah, even better for me for picking Massa

Still faring reasonably well with my alphabetical picks. Next races will be Ericsson, Grosjean and Gutierrez though, so I will probably drop.

From bad to worse for me.

picked massa, not a good result, but can't get better than this

Round 03 Bahrain GP

Sunday night lights were the setting for a thrilling battle between the Mercedes duo, witnessed by many across the world except Luca Di Montezemelo who left the circuit in a huff because Fernando "I bring 0.5 seconds" Alonso and Kimi "ICE CREAM KIMI PITZZZZ" Raikkonen were unable to mount a serious challenge for the race.

After a couple of laps it was clear one of two cars was going to win the race, but which Mercedes would it be? Thanks to 1) Rosberg's efforts and then 2) a late Maldonado-idiocy induced safety car the result was never clear until a couple of laps prior to the flag. So congratulations to our winners of the round, acopip and Merton who successfully selected Lewis Hamilton.

8 people chose a Mercedes in Bahrain, 2 to Hamilton and 6 to Rosberg. In the first three races Mercedes has scored well apart the unlucky few who picked Hamilton in Australia. In Bahrain the pick of the week was again a Williams and again Massa, who was picked by 8 people. Another 7 picked Bottas. It seems to me that most expect Williams to drop down the order as the season goes on, so we're banking on Williams securing a good result at the start of the year.

I'd like to offer a special mention to a couple of people - Philthy82 leads the way with a 7 points, having secured two 3rds and a win in the first three races. He's also the only member that is still in the single digits. Then there is De Cesaris fan, who most may remember had a pretty torrid 2013 season in this competition and was rooted to the lower end of the table for most of the year. Well 2014 has started much brighter and he currently sits 6th in the standings.

Commiserations should go to two people in particular. Firstly Dicksplaash, who having picked Rosberg to win the Australian GP and lead the standings after round 01, has followed up that win with two 22nd place positions in the subsequent Malaysian and Bahrain GPs. Secondly to Bleu, who is a mere 7 points away from a maximum score after just three rounds and sits firmly at the tail end of the table. Here's wishing you both a change of luck soon.

Round winners (2 - Hamilton 1st) - Merton and acopip
Pick of the week (8 - Massa 7th) - LucasWheldon, F1Peter, Artur Craft, Lucasjeha, SFM, kals, De Cesaris fan and Soul Reaver

Finally a decent result, although not the best for Hulk.

Massa

After Perez at Sepang, I picked Sutil for Shanghai!

Bottas was the best of the rest. Everyone in front of him definitely were in a better shape during first 4 races. Not so dusty.

FFS I remember switching Alonso for Guetteirez for this race.
