Round 16 of 18 is in the USA and it's now time to think about World Champions and the glittering prizes on offer. It's also time to pick a track for Round 18. You've got until the end of Round 17 to decide, otherwise you get stuck with what I choose. You can only pick tracks out of this years calendar:
Australia
Malaysia
Brazil
San Marino
Spain
Austria
Monaco
Canada
Europe (Nurburgring)
France
Britain
Germany
Hungary
Belgium
Italy
USA
Japan
If there is an obvious choice of race, that will be Round 18. If there isn't a result, a shortlist will be made available at the Round 17 prediction thread.
Okay, onto last years race. Remember, some I mention in this section may not have raced last year so check the website: [URL]http://www.freewebs.com/gpsr/srf1.htm[/URL]
The entire weekend in 2003 was a washout with rain affecting the qualifying and the race. Qualifying saw Webber (NOT RACING THIS YEAR) in his Jaguar take pole position ahead of Ralf Schumacher in the Williams and Alonso (NOT RACING THIS YEAR) in the Renault.
We are interested in the 9 drivers in the title hunt this year. Let's see how those that raced last year fared. Ralf Schumacher was 2nd, Barrichello was 7th, Heidfeld was 10th, Button was 11th, Villeneuve was 12th, Montoya was 13th and Fisichella was 16th. Baumgartner and Salo didn't race last year but Minardi's were 5th and 14th and MG's were 8th and 19th.
As I mentioned earlier, the race was wet but everyone was doing well in keeping it on the track. Heidfeld came through from 10th to win, ahead of Button in 2nd and Barrichello in 3rd.
I've mentioned 3 of the 9 already so here are the others. Ralf Schumacher finished 8th, Fisichella 9th, Villeneuve 13th and Montoya retired with suspension trouble. Baumgartner and Salo didn't race but Minardi's were 5th and the other retired while MG's finished 6th and 12th.

I'd have liked another crack at the track we raced very early on before De La Rosa learnt to drive again but it looks like Monaco is most popular so who am I to argue?
