Fantasy Formula 1 2011 - Monaco results

What-ho, chaps!

Well the annual romp around the principality was highly entertaining, wasn't it? Not least because a certain McLaren driver with an odd 'beard', oddly big sunglasses, odd girlfriend and massively big chain of Harry Ramsdens on his shoulder went off on one post-race, and displayed a level of paranoia, by implying that everyone and everything is out to get him, that was breathtakingly arrogant, but bettered only by trying to drop in an Ali G "Is it because I is black" joke that seems to be backfiring more that an HRT on a bad day.

Good luck with that one Lewis. You may just have alienated a very large segment of your remaining fans by coming over as a spoilt, petulant child.

Anyway, you want results, not my rambling. Happily, I can oblige...

Which does the following for the all-important running total:

Yes. I am still in the lead. Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!

Ahem. Race report and other stuff to follow...

(Tonight on BBC2 at 10pm there is the first of a two-part documentary about Queen. In honour of this occasion, I am currently listening to Freddie Mercury's "Mr Bad Guy" LP from 1985.)

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

I know I'll regret this...

For @Feisty_Onion @BroughtonLass @LizWestmorland Me... before the grumpiness set in. Have a great weekend.

Senna bags Willy drive?

The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
