Fantasy Formula 1 - Spain: The other stuff

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!

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")
