Fantasy Formula 1 - Singapore: The other stuff

Right then. It would appear my cellar is haunted by a ghost that steals nails. Pretty niche I know, but that's what I'm contending with. That and the fact that, 38 years ago, someone used the Daily Mirror as insulation.

Yes. My life is strange, isn't it? Thanks for pointing that out.

Anyway, here's the driver and team stats following the Singapore GP at the weekend...


Naughty corner: Getting that vote yet again this season (its the only thing he's winning) is Lewis Hamilton. Another clumsy, desperate move on Massa. The only good thing about this is that the earstudded one has stopped complaining that he's being victimised by the stewards. Does this mean he's realised he's driving like a prat? Almost certainly not, no.

Hero: On the other side of the McLaren garage, Button quietly got on with it and once again put in a no-dramas quality race to 2nd place. Who's best McLaren driver this season? (Clue: Not Lewis.)

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the Sebulator, with a pole/win total of 26.

The top 3 drivers so far are Vettel on 321, Button with 233 and Alonso on 222. Heidfeld still clings on in 8th, with more than double the points of Petrov and Senna put together!

The top 3 teams so far are Red Bull on 325, McLaren with 310 and Ferrari on 238. Best of the new teams? In FF1 land it's Virgin.

Henry extends his lead this race and the leaders and their number of races out front have been: Heather (1), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Henry (3).

The gap from first to last has widened again this race; its now 358 points.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Massa just went and stuck a banana up Lewis's exhaust pipe (and no, that isn't a euphamism).

Next race: Uh-oh. Early start. The Japanese GP is on the box at 6am on October the 9th. Vettel might be World Champ by the time you wake up!


(Yes, I am still listening to a-ha CD's. I'm up to 2005's "Analogue" now.)

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
