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...

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

I know I'll regret this...

For @Feisty_Onion @BroughtonLass @LizWestmorland Me... before the grumpiness set in. Have a great weekend.

Senna bags Willy drive?

The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
