Fantasy Formula 1 - Malaysia: The other stuff

Hi-de-hi, campers of an F1 persuasion!

Hope you've had a spiffing Monday. As usual, here's a round up of other Fantasy F1 stuff, starting off with driver & team statistics:

Well done to Ian for bagging the highest score so far this season with an impressive 94 points. He's now got two of the three best scores so far. At the other end of the spectrum, Chris W manages just 13 points from this race.

Naughty corner? Was anyone actually that naughty? The Hamilton & Alonso penalties seemed a little harsh, but I can't really think of anyone else doing anything particularly dumb or foolish. Damn, that's as rare as rocking horse poo.

Hero? I think you can guess this one... Mr Heidfeld, for that lightning start, some top racing and holding off Webber at the end. And the nice beard and fluffy hair. His podium finish now means he has the dubious record of being the driver with most podiums without a win in F1 history.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel with 52, Heidfeld (up 6) on 33 and Button (up 8) with 30. Petrov and Hamilton's dismal days see both of them drop out of the top 3. Honourable mentions to Sutil and D'Ambrosio for punching above their weight in joint 4th.

The top three teams so far are: Red Bull with 52, Renault on 42 and McLaren with 40. Williams and Hispania have still to break their duck. Seems a bit harsh on wildfowl, but there you go.

Congratulations to Neil for bagging the top FF1 step. I'm afraid we're out a champagne at the moment though (Heather drank it all last race).

Another 5 of you got out of negative figures this race, whilst Ollie's with varying degrees of 'L' still languish with over 300 negative points....

Next race: It's only this weekend! The Chinese GP is available for your delectation on April 17th. Oh look - its another early one...

Faking it for real

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...

Going Underground

The US presidential election and Brexit must have made me more nervous than I’d realised. It seems I’ve created an underground bunker without realising I was doing it. Still – we’ve all done that at some point, right? No? Ah... In that case, the fact that I have inadvertently turned my cellar into a rudimentary survival shelter, just in case it all kicks off, demonstrates a severe case of bunker mentality. Fretting about Donald and his wall, and Hillary and her emails, clearly made me more paranoid that I thought about the possibility of WW3 kicking off. Whilst attempting to find a specific size of imperial washer the other day (turns out I’d mis-filed it in the nut cabinet – Tsk!) I was struck by what a lot of jam and chutney we have in the cellar. And I do mean a LOT. There are boxes of boiled-up sugar and fruit and more boxes of boiled up vinegar and fruit. We’re still only part way through 2015’s output too. Then there’s the plastic containers holding pasta in various for...

When in Rome...

...have a Grand Prix. Seems that the idea of a street race around Rome is on the cards. That'd be pretty exciting, wouldn't it? Any other suggestions? Basingstoke? Didcot? Reading? "And here's Alonso on Broad Street, just past Heelas and getting dangerously close to the Marks & Sparks cardigan display".... No? OK then. (More MP3 toons - Enigma "La Puerta Del Cieulu")
