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".)

A very modern malady

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...

Feel that sudden chill in the air? It’s winter, heading this way. Or you’ve left the fridge door open. One of those, definitely. According to people with the word ‘meteorologist’ somewhere in their job title, it has been the driest September since records began. Hardly surprising, really – the wettest winter on record immediately beforehand almost certainly used up all the available rain in the sky early (Note to self: check the sciencey stuff, it doesn’t sound quite right). With just 20% of the normal rainfall of the most Septembery of months, 2014 trounced the previous record holder, good old 1959. Whilst this may have led to less plump courgettes, and parched blue tits mugging you for your bottle of mineral water, it does have a beneficial side-effect: Your granddad will finally have to stop saying “Dry? You don’t know what dry is! When I were but a lad...” Clearly disappointing for grandpops, especially so soon after the “Wet winter? Pah! When I were but a lad...” sto...

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...
