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.

Welcome to Costa del Barrow

Feel that sudden chill in the air? It’s winter, heading this way. Or you’ve left the fridge door open. One of those, definitely. According to people with the word ‘meteorologist’ somewhere in their job title, it has been the driest September since records began. Hardly surprising, really – the wettest winter on record immediately beforehand almost certainly used up all the available rain in the sky early (Note to self: check the sciencey stuff, it doesn’t sound quite right). With just 20% of the normal rainfall of the most Septembery of months, 2014 trounced the previous record holder, good old 1959. Whilst this may have led to less plump courgettes, and parched blue tits mugging you for your bottle of mineral water, it does have a beneficial side-effect: Your granddad will finally have to stop saying “Dry? You don’t know what dry is! When I were but a lad...” Clearly disappointing for grandpops, especially so soon after the “Wet winter? Pah! When I were but a lad...” sto...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

Sometimes there's a wonderful "huh?" moment in F1. Today's was when the lights didn't go to red at the start, but flashed green and yellow. I'm sure all the drivers are briefed, and everyone knows the drill, but they all just sat there - no-one wanted to be the first to move. In the most high-tech sport in the world, it took Charlie Whiting waving at them to make them go. To be honest, it wasn't the most thrilling of races, but Happy Hamilton "The slow boys won't get out of my way! It's not fair! Boohoohooo - I'm telling Charlie!" winning does mean the front end of the points table still looks deliciously tight. What we really need now, as the excitement level ramps up, is.... to take 5 weeks off. Dammit. Still, to keep you occupied, I want you to memorise the points you all scored today. It's easy to remember mine. I came last... RACE RESULT Position Name Point...

(National) Parklife

What’s a columnist to do when the Lake District National Park expands? Re-word a Britpop anthem, obviously. If you’ve never heard Blur’s ‘Parklife’: a) You should – it’s great b) This isn’t going to make any sense at all. In honour of the Lake District getting a bit bigger this week, I’ve done what anyone would do under the circumstances, and changed the lyrics to fit the occasion. Sorry, Blur... Oi!  Expansion is a preference for the Cumbrian area of what is known as the National Parklife The A591’s the best route straight through what is known as Parklife Lake District just got 3% bigger, that’s 27 more square miles to love of hills and fells Parklife You can go out marching, head on down to Sizergh mate, get some exercise Loads more people 300 people They all now live inside Side-by-side in their parklife Know what I mean? Lyth Valley’s open (except when flooded) where I get truly amazed by all the damsons Parklife I put my boots on, have a cup of tea an...
