Fantasy Formula 1 - Spain: The other stuff

Image
By
Wotcha. Right, here's the round up of all the random stuff relating to Fantasy Formula 1 and Vettel's Reign in Spain (damn, why didn't I think of that before).

Anyway, here's the driver and team stats for you:


Congratulations to Ian and Tony’s Mum, who bagged the two highest individual FF1 scores of the season so far with 126 and 109 respectively.

Naughty corner? The stewards. Did they really tell the teams it would be OK for cars to be launched into the path of each other because the pit lane was nice and wide? Lucky no-one was scraping bits of battered Ferrari off the tarmac...

Hero: Some high quality driving from a lot of different drivers, but for me it was Heidfeld again for failing to see last place on the grid as an obstacle to getting points.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was, of course, Heidfeld with a huge 36 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 124, Webber with 98 and Heidfeld (up 1) on 87. Hamilton drops out of the top three. Maldonado remains the only driver not to bag a single FF1 point so far.

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 124, McLaren with 101 and Renault on 92. Williams are now the worst team to have picked this season.

Heather led for a week, Neil for 3, but now it’s.... ME! I put this down to having overhauled the budget teams, but not having been caught yet by the expensive high-scoring teams. I give it a week. Still, I’m basking in the warm glow for now...

The bottom 7 competitors are all still in negative figures, with Tony the only one not to be inside 100 points of zero. Gap from front to back reduced again this race – it’s now down to 320 points.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Seb is practicing his ‘Look, I have a Global Hypercolour T-Shirt? Cool, No?’ look...

Next race: By jove, it’s this very weekend in Monaco, on the 29th of May. How very splendid!

A fisful of change at the shops

By
A recent day out reminded me how much the retail experience has altered during my lifetime – and it’s not all good. I could stop typing this, and buy a fridge, in a matter of seconds. The shops are shut and it’s 9pm, but I could still place the order and arrange delivery. I haven’t got to wander round a white-goods retail emporium trying to work out which slightly different version of something that keeps my cider cold is better. It’ll be cheaper, too. But in amongst the convenience, endless choice and bargains, we’ve lost some of the personal, human, touches that used to make a trip to the shops something more than just a daily chore. Last weekend, we visited a local coastal town. Amongst the shops selling over-priced imported home accessories (who doesn’t need another roughly-hewn wooden heart, poorly painted and a bargain at £10?) was one that looked different. It’s window allowed you to see in, rather than being plastered with stick-on graphics and special offers calling ...

Making an exhibition of yourself

By
Now and again, it’s good to reaffirm that you’re a (relatively) normal human being. One excellent way of doing this is to go to a business exhibition. Despite what you might have surmised from reading my previous columns, I am employable, and even capable of acting like a regular person most of the time, even joining in the Monday morning conversation about the weather over the weekend, and why (insert name of footyballs manager here) should be fired immediately. The mug! True, there are times, often involving a caffeine deficiency, where it is like having the distilled essence of ten moody teenagers in the room, but I try and get that out of the way when people I genuinely like aren’t around to see it. As part of my ongoing experiment with what others call ‘working’, my ‘job’ involves me occasionally needing to go and see what some of my colleagues get up to outside the office, and what our competitors do to try and make sure that they do whatever my colleagues do better than ...

Shouting in the social media mirror

By
It was always tricky to fit everything you wanted into the intentionally short character count of Twitter, especially when, like me, you tend to write ridiculously long sentences that keep going on and on, with no discernible end in sight, until you start wondering what the point was in the first place. The maximum length of a text message originally limited a tweet to 140 characters, due to it being a common way to post your ramblings in Twitter’s early days. Ten years later, we’ve largely consigned texting to the tech dustbin, and after a lot of angst, the social media platform’s bigwigs have finally opted to double your ranting capacity to 280. Responses ranged from “You’ve ruined it! Closing my account!” to the far more common “Meh” of modern disinterest. As someone rightly pointed out, just because you have twice as much capacity doesn’t mean you actually have to use it. It is, of course, and excellent opportunity to use the English language correctly and include punctuat...
