Fantasy Formula 1 - Japan: The other stuff

It's Tuesday, Tuesday, gotta get down on Tuesday! Or perhaps not.

Whilst Herr Doublepointyfinger recovers from a massive hangover and some choice karaoke, we have the small matter of some random facts and stats to round up. Starting off with... driver and team stats!


Naughty corner: Yes, you've guessed it. My vote yet again goes to trouble-magnet extraordinaire, Lewis Hamilton. A dozy moment in quali, then a careless moment in the race. With Massa. Again. Plank.

Hero: Seb doesn't need any other prizes, so I'm handing this one to Rosberg, who quietly sneaked up from 23rd on the grid to 10th. Tidy.

Bad news this race for Heather, as she adds herself to the worst 3 scores of the year for a second time, with a tiddly 6 points.

Fantasy Formula 1 drivers of the day were Button and Rosberg, who both scored 27 points.

The top 3 drivers so far are Vettel on 337, Button with 260 and Alonso on 246. Quick Nick is still 8th!

The top 3 teams so far are Red Bull on 341, McLaren with 337 and Ferrari on 262. Williams are still very, very last.

Henry's lead drops a little this race to 57 points, but he's still firmly out front an now equals the record for consecutive races at the top. He hasn't beaten the total races at the top yet, though... So far we've had Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1) and Henry (4).

The gap from first to last goes up again this race - its now 387 points wide.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where this just happened....

Lewis "I'm really sorry, Felipe baby."
Felipe "You know I'll always forgive you. It's those ear studs that melt my heart."
Lewis "You look so good in red."
Felipe "I like your shiny helmet."
Us: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Next race: Crikey, it's only this weekend, innit? Another alarm clock job, it's the Korean GP on the 16th of October.



(CD A-Z continues. Tonight, Matthew, they'll mostly be the Electric Light Orchestra.... yes, it's Alternativa's "A Night In Starlight".)

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

By
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...

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...

Going Underground

By
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...
