Fantasy Formula 1 - Belgium: The other stuff

Image
By
Don't you love Bank Holidays? Lots of time to get stuff done... like sort out the Fantasy Formula 1 random bits and bobs whilst its raining.

Kicking off our collection of what some are calling 'stuff' from the Belgian GP, here's the driver and team statistics:


Naughty corner: Senna - first he pinched Mr. Lovelybeard's seat by flashing his bulging wallet, then he 'forgot' that the car would handle differently on cold tyres and full tanks and caused chaos at the start, ruining Alguerdoyouthinkhesaurus' chances too. Berk.

Hero: Schuey or JB? Hmmmmm. Michael came from last to 4th, whilst JB went from 13th to 3rd. Looking at it that way (and seeing as it was his 200th birthday or something), I'll go with Herr Schumi.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Schumacher, with a colossal 48 points!

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 269, Webber with 206 and Button (up 2) on 193. Hamilton drops out of the top three after his little 'problem' during the race. He may be without a drive, but Heidfeld clings on to 6th place is the FF1 driver standings!

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 273, McLaren with 270 and Ferrari on 207. After a troubled weekend, Maldonado's 23 points helped to finally shift Williams off last place - they're now 1 point ahead of Lotus.

Congratulations to Joy & Jane - their whopping 100+ scores adding them to the best 3 so far this season.

Henry's steady climb up through the standings sees him grab 1st place this race, assisted by previous top 2 (me and Ian) both losing Heidfeld's scoring potential. Congratulations to Henry though - a bold and pricey team selection is now paying dividends. So, the leaders have been: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1), Henry (1). All to play for!

Front to back gap? Now 250 points. Still shrinking...

Fantasy Formula 1: Where the next race is Spa. And the one after that too.

Next race: Another of the old-school circuits, it's the Italian GP on September the 11th.

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...
