Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary: The other stuff

Here are again, then. It's time for the odd nonsense that goes with FF1. Seeing as it's three and a half weeks until the next race, remember to read it s l o w l y, OK?

First up, the driver and team statistics for you edification:


Naughty corner: Bernie. The BBC. Sky. Take your pick. Grrrr....

Hero: Has to go to JB for a brilliant drive to take victory once again at the scene of his first, five years ago. Nice one, Jenson.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Buemi, with a stonking 34 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 243, Webber with 186 and Hamilton on 172. Guess what?! Maldonado started the race 17th and finished... 16th! So he finally has a whole 2 FF1 points! Go Pastor! Wooooo!

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 247, McLaren with 235 and Ferrari on 187. Buemi's monster score sneaks Toro Rosso ahead of Sauber into 5th place.

Me and Ian do the top step shuffle yet again this race, but the top 10 have really closed up. Could be any one of them in the lead next time out. Out front this season have been: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1).

The gap from front to back? Still falling... now just 254 points.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Murray Walker is shouting something about someone being in front of themselves, the coverage lasts all weekend, Damon Hill just won again... and... *starts crying noisily*

Next race: F1 drivers will now take a short break to do relaxing stuff, like fly upside down in helicopters. Yes, I am looking at you, Mark Webber. The other end of the month will be Spa on August the 28th. Worth the wait...

A very modern malady

By
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...
