Force India: Team Fifi's big chance?

Image

Hands up who thinks FIFI are going to move up the field this year, and perhaps catch one of the bigger teams having an off-season? Renault, perhaps? Maybe Mercedes? Anyone? Hello?

Precisely. Probably the only people bigging that up as a serious possibility are Force India's Marketing department. People who work in Marketing Departments are dribbling, incoherant nincompoops, with a twisted sense of reality. Yes, I do work in a Marketing Department, you're quite right. I rest my case.

Vijay's mob came a pretty dismal 8th last year, having been reasonably quick in '09. They seriously need to arrest that slide. Slight problem is, they've been losing key technical staff as rapidly as I see off Cadbury products, so it doesn't look overly promising.

Adrian Sutil keeps his seat, but isn't likely to set it on fire any time soon, despite various people trumpeting him as one of F1's next big things. Wee laddie Paul di Resta finally gets the F1 call up, and seems well respected. If he can stick it to Sutil by mid season, then he'll have proved that all the berks who kept overlooking him were indeed big-time wrong. Good to have another Brit in F1 though. I might need to change my name....

(Having foolishly revealed on twitter this week that I am, in fact, hideously old, I'm proving the point tonight by listening to Pink Floyd. Shine On You Crazy Diamond...)

Faking it for real

By
As Donald “I’m really great, everybody says so” Trump is so fond of pointing out, there is a lot of fake news around nowadays. Honest. Your friends at Facebook think so too, and have recently been publishing their top tips for spotting false news – by placing them as ads in newspapers. Considering they came in for considerable criticism themselves, that’s like shouting “Squirrel!” and pointing at a tree whilst you hastily kick away the prize begonias you just trampled. To help you make sense of this (and because I’m a caring person), I thought I’d run you through their suggestions and help to explain them for you. I know. I’m lovely. 1. Be sceptical of headlines READING THIS ARTICLE WILL IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE!!! And explain that catchy headlines, or stuff all in capitals might be a bit iffy. 2. Look closely at the URL You can find out more about this at www.wowyouregullible.com if you want to understand how phony web addresses are a sure sign of dodgyness. 3. Investigate...

A very modern malady

By
Hello. I’m Doctor Grenville, and I’m here today to talk to you about SSS – or “Sad Selfie Syndrome”, to give it it’s full medical name. I’m a fully qualified medical doctor thing – I’ve got a PhD from Queens University Academy College Kendal (or “QUACK” for short) to prove it. That means it’s OK for me to talk to you about a very sensitive subject today and stroke your knee. Soothing, no? In my many years of medicinalising practice, I’ve come across some terrible afflictions. I’ve seen Achey Breaky Heart, Kneesles (where you get an itchy rash on your kneecaps) and even a very rare case of the Mercedes Benz. But recently I started seeing shocking images, on social media, graphically showing the devastating results of SSS. If you haven’t heard of it before, you’ve almost certainly seen pictures of what happens to the victims, who are mostly under the age of 30. We’ve already come to understand the irrational, overwhelming need for some amongst this group to photograph everythin...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

By
Sometimes there's a wonderful "huh?" moment in F1. Today's was when the lights didn't go to red at the start, but flashed green and yellow. I'm sure all the drivers are briefed, and everyone knows the drill, but they all just sat there - no-one wanted to be the first to move. In the most high-tech sport in the world, it took Charlie Whiting waving at them to make them go. To be honest, it wasn't the most thrilling of races, but Happy Hamilton "The slow boys won't get out of my way! It's not fair! Boohoohooo - I'm telling Charlie!" winning does mean the front end of the points table still looks deliciously tight. What we really need now, as the excitement level ramps up, is.... to take 5 weeks off. Dammit. Still, to keep you occupied, I want you to memorise the points you all scored today. It's easy to remember mine. I came last... RACE RESULT Position Name Point...
