Fantasy Formula 1 - Brazil: The other stuff

*sniffle*

This is it then. Fantasy Formula 1 is over for another year. What will you do all winter?! Will you cope? Does anyone actually care? Is anyone really OUT THERE? Can Kimi have a choc ice now?

There's just the stats'n'stuff to get out of the way. Brace yourselves...


Naughty corner? Even Lewis & Felipe made-up. Just for a change... no-one!

Hero: Doubt we’ll see him again, but Rubens – dignified and cheery, friendly and honest. There aren’t many of those left in Formula 1.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Webber, with 27 points.

The top 3 drivers of the season were Vettel, Button and Alonso. Honourable mentions go to Schumacher in 6th, and Heidfeld, who managed 11th, despite only competing in 11 races.

The top 3 teams of the season were Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari. Virgin punched above their weight in FF1 land, finishing 9th.

Congratulations to Henry, who wins the FF1 title with an impressive 62 point lead. As last year, only 2 competitors cleared the 1000 point mark.

In the end, 560 point separated Henry in first and Jon in last. Ouch.

Right, then! For those of you who have competed before, here’s how you got on:

Better than ever before (smartypants!): Henry & Chris J.

Somewhere in-between their previous best and worst positions (meh): Peter, Martin S, Olie B, Nigel, Elmon, Russell, Tony, Joy, James & Tony’s Mum.

Truly abysmal outing (losers!): Jane, Ollie C*, Steve M, Stephen H, Andy S & Paul. (* Bit harsh seeing as he came 2nd, but it’s his own fault for winning it last year!)

Fantasy Formula 1: Where it’s time for a lie-down for me. I’ll post Formula 1 related ramblings on the blog over the winter months, and hopefully see you all again in the spring.

Next race: Teensy wait... Australian GP on 18th March...

A very modern malady

By
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...

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...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

By
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...
