Fantasy Formula 1 - Germany: The other stuff

Image
By
Whilst the Mrs basks in the warm glow of finding out who died in CSI, I bring you the random grab-bag of oddities relating to Sunday's scintillating (but parky) German GP. First up, the driver and team stats:


Naughty corner: Buemi for assisting with Heidfeld's spectacular exit from the race. Wake up, not-as-good-as-the-other-one-Seb!

Hero: Hamilton was actually on form this weekend, and managed to be polite, cheerful and not a complete git. Impressive.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Lewis, with 27 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel with 224, Webber on 174 and Hamilton with 160. Oh surprise, surprise - Maldonado STILL hasn't scored anything.

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 228, McLaren with 216 and Ferrari (up 1) on 168. Renault finally drop out of the top 3. For the first time this FF1 season, Red Bull's points aren't entirely made up of Seb's score.

It's back to the front for me thanks to Ian's rubbish score, but the distant thunder of the big spenders is drawing steadily nearer. Can the expensive teams out haul us frugal-types in the second half of the season? So the top step has been: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1).

And still the gap from front to back reduces - it's now 259 points only...

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Eddie Jordan had to give that jacket back to the lady he stole it from. And the underwear too.

Next race: It's only this weekend, innit?! The Hungarian GP is on the 31st of July.

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...

Faking it for real

By
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...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

By
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...
