Some funny things going on in the game:
Most added:1) Jules Bianchi
2) Max Chilton
3) Charles Pic
4) Giedo van der Garde
5) Adrian Sutil
It seems that a large portion of players have spotted what I pointed out in earlier in this thread, that there are serious points to be made on back markers. There does not seem to be a big worry about reliability or the ability of the drivers to get the car home though. Sutil must have impressed a great deal of people with his Australia drive.
Most dropped:1) Sergio Perez
2) Kimi Raikkonen
3) Lewis Hamilton
4) Mark Webber
5) Jenson Button
The big loser here are the McLaren drivers. Especially Perez seems to have underperformed compared to expectations. The same goes for Hamilton and Webber. It does not seem to have registered that Webber's troubles in Australia was due to the KERS failing him at the start line. That Hamilton feels he could have taken pole at Malaysia has not swayed players either. Most surprising is it, that many players don't seem to think Raikkonen will have sufficient performance in the near future.
Looking at the qualifying grid, then Ferrari, Alonso, Massa (!) and Vettel would have been good investments. These choices don't even register in the top 5 picks for this round, and it is not because players already have them (Ferrari-Ferrari, 6.7% [numbers not adding up right for constructors] - Fernando Alonso, 10.2% - Felipe Massa, 5.1%, - Sebastian Vettel, 8.6%) Worthy of note is it, that Ferrari and Alonso together with Max Chilton, despite the low numbers, are the choices that most players have in their teams. This means that no clear betting pattern has been established yet, so there is still a lot of room to leap ahead of other players with the right picks. This analysis is based on qualifying results, and that of course is not race results - but they are an indicator of what is to come in a few hours. This is going to be an exiting round!
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
