Fantasy Formula 1 - Italy: The other stuff

Well, hello. Jolly nice of you to drop by. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a stiff one and join me, your miserable host, for some random FF1 stuff to do with the really rather splendid Italian GP.

First up, here's the driver and team statistics! Woo! Yeah!


Naughty corner: I would say "stand up Tonio Liuzzi", but he'd probably get that wrong, fall over and knock several innocent upright people onto the floor too...

Hero: JB was outstanding once again. Whilst Lewis spent most of the race trying to pass Schumi, Jenson bided his time then nailed both of them. Star.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the Aluersaurus, with a fab 28 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 295, Button (up 1) with 213 and Alonso (up 1) on 208. Webber drops out of the top 3. Whilst everyone pats Bruno Senna on the back, let us forget not little Nick Heidfeld, who is still the 7th best FF1 driver!

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 299, McLaren with 290 and Ferrari on 224. 4th best team to own currently? Toro Rosso. Cripes.

Henry stays at the top of the table, making the leaders so far: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Henry (2).

Front to back gap? For the first time in ages, it's gone up: 309 points.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Ricciardo is just crossing the line.... oh hang on, he's still got another lap to go.

Next race: Fun in the dark! Fingers crossed for rain and a tough day out for Seb as we head to Singapore on the 25th of September.

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...

Faking it for real

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...

Going Underground

The US presidential election and Brexit must have made me more nervous than I’d realised. It seems I’ve created an underground bunker without realising I was doing it. Still – we’ve all done that at some point, right? No? Ah... In that case, the fact that I have inadvertently turned my cellar into a rudimentary survival shelter, just in case it all kicks off, demonstrates a severe case of bunker mentality. Fretting about Donald and his wall, and Hillary and her emails, clearly made me more paranoid that I thought about the possibility of WW3 kicking off. Whilst attempting to find a specific size of imperial washer the other day (turns out I’d mis-filed it in the nut cabinet – Tsk!) I was struck by what a lot of jam and chutney we have in the cellar. And I do mean a LOT. There are boxes of boiled-up sugar and fruit and more boxes of boiled up vinegar and fruit. We’re still only part way through 2015’s output too. Then there’s the plastic containers holding pasta in various for...
