Fantasy Formula 1 - Canada: The other stuff

Well, hello. How the devil are you? No, that's too much information - shut up now.

On to the matter at hand, the small but beautifully formed grab bag of other stuff to do with Fantasy F1 and the Canadian GP. Here's those jolly fascinating driver and team stats for starters!

Naughty corner: Whoever makes shoe soles in Canada. Those poor marshals. That must have hurt.


Hero: For the second race in a row, my vote goes to JB. That was the drive of a champion, and he took Lewis and Nando out too. Result!

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Button with a stonking 47 points. (Honourable mention for Alguersuari who, virtually unnoticed, went from starting in the pit lane to 8th place and bagged 24 FF1 points in the process.)

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 168, Webber with 127 and Button (up 2) on 121. Heidfeld drops out of the top three. Maldonado still hasn’t managed a single FF1 point this season.

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 168, McLaren with 153 and Renault on 130. Currently punching above their weight are Virgin in 7th.

Races at the top? Heather 1, Neil 3, Me 3. I’m still in shock.

Hurrah! Everyone is now in positive figures! Now all Tony has to do to get from the back to the front is score 344 points whilst everyone else scores nothing. Ah...

Fantasy Formula 1: In a happy place where Canadian marshals are all upright all the time.

Next race: Europe on the 26th of June – or Spain II if you must know.

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

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

I know I'll regret this...

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