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 15th of April, then...

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...

Faking it for real

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

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...
