Fantasy Formula 1 - Malaysia: The other stuff

Hello, FF1-heads. Time once again for the random discarded front-wing end-plate that is The Other Stuff...

Naughty corner: Surprisingly, that one goes to Das Sebulator, for his ill-tempered slagging off of Karthikeyan post-race. He’s normally such a nice chap too...

Hero: Oh, come on. It couldn’t be anyone other than Perez, now could it? Stunning drive, and I genuinely think he could have got Alonso too. If he’s not in a Ferrari next year, I’ll eat my hat. The marshmallow one. Not the real one. I’m not as stupid as I look.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Alonso with a rain-assisted 39!

Mark E retains his lead for a second race, having scored well with a budget team. 10% of the season gone – can he keep it up?

Front to back gap – 532 points! That’s bigger than Coulthard’s jawbone!

Best driver so far in FF1 land is Perez, with Rosberg, Maldonado, Massa, Grosjean and de la Rosa all, literally, pointless.

Top team is Ferrari, with Mercedes dragging their silver bottom along in last place at the moment.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Seb’s other finger getting an outing was met with a similar reaction from millions of sofas...

Next race: What, there isn’t one this weekend? Dammit! Hang on 3 weeks until China on the 15^th of April, then...

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
