Fantasy Formula 1 - Britain: The other stuff

By
Hello. My my - you're looking smashing tonight. Is that new underwear? You should really check your webcam settings you know...

Anyway, it's time for the random collection of stuff that follows the main results, starting off with the driver and team statistics! (Cue fanfare...)


Naughty corner: Whoever decided hot and cold blown exhaust off-throttle gubbins sounded like an interesting reason for an argument. Tip of the day: get out more.

Hero: Well, I know I’ve slated him a fair bit recently, but Hamilton did a fine job this weekend, and even got rid of that daft beard-thing. So, him.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Alonso, with a tidy 29 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 212, Webber with 158 and Hamilton (up 1) on 133. Button’s DNF sees him drop out of the leading trio. Guess what! Maldonado still hasn’t scored a single FF1 point.

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 212, McLaren with 189 and Renault on 150. Even though they managed to score FF1 points this weekend, Williams are still the worst team to have picked.

All change at the top! Championship leaders and their races at the front to date have been: Heather (1), Neil (3), Me 4, Ian (1). Congratulations to Ian for taking the lead (he says, through gritted teeth).

Gap from top to bottom has reduced again, to 274 points. It’s not over yet!

Fantasy Formula 1: Where the only hot air causing an argument comes from Eddie Jordan...

Next race: Uh-oh. It’s Seb’s home race, the German GP on the 24th of July. Let’s hope he has a hangover or something...

(Assisting with the typing of this fascinating information this fine evening was Mr Phil Collins, and his cheery anthem "In The Air Tonight". For some reason, I keep seeing the colour purple and gorillas...)

A very modern malady

Hello. I’m Doctor Grenville, and I’m here today to talk to you about SSS – or “Sad Selfie Syndrome”, to give it it’s full medical name. I’m a fully qualified medical doctor thing – I’ve got a PhD from Queens University Academy College Kendal (or “QUACK” for short) to prove it. That means it’s OK for me to talk to you about a very sensitive subject today and stroke your knee. Soothing, no? In my many years of medicinalising practice, I’ve come across some terrible afflictions. I’ve seen Achey Breaky Heart, Kneesles (where you get an itchy rash on your kneecaps) and even a very rare case of the Mercedes Benz. But recently I started seeing shocking images, on social media, graphically showing the devastating results of SSS. If you haven’t heard of it before, you’ve almost certainly seen pictures of what happens to the victims, who are mostly under the age of 30. We’ve already come to understand the irrational, overwhelming need for some amongst this group to photograph everythin...

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...

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...
