Fantasy Formula 1 - Korea: The other stuff

Two F1 weekends in a row. Mmmmmm....

Sadly, for us skint BBC viewers who can't afford to get a dustbin lid nailed to the side of their home, that's almost certainly the last time it'll ever happen, in terms of the full, live, coverage at least. If the Beeb only show half the races live next year, I doubt they'll show consecutive ones only a week apart.

Permission to say arsebiscuits? ARSEBISCUITS!

Anyway, on with the show! Here's the driver and team stats for you.


Naughty corner? Petrov. He came from so far back in that attempt to pass Schumi, he actually started the move last month. Foolish boy.

Hero: I think that goes to the blue-eyed superstar DJ Alguerserious. Finishing 7th means you've only been bettered by Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. And he did it in a Toro Rosso. Nice work! Now, turn that racket down.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Herr DoublePointyfinger, with a stout 27 points.

The top 3 drivers so far are Vettel, Button and Alonso. Buemi and Alguersuari are now 7th and 8th, following another good weekend.

The top 3 teams are Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari. Although Williams actually got some FF1 points this weekend, so did their closest rivals, Hispania and Lotus, so they stay at the bottom of the points list.

Henry increased his lead a fair bit this weekend, and he's now 71 points ahead of the pack. He's also now put together the longest run out front, and equalled the most weeks out front too. This season's leaders: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1), Henry (5).

Front to back gap continues to widen too - its now 426 points. Eep.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where you must obey the RoboHamilton. OBEY!

Next race: It's the shiny new Indian GP on the 30th of October. Sensible start time too! 0930. Just time to get a cuppa and the bacon sarnies sorted, then...

And now, a hideous glimpse into the future...

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
