What could possibly make Tuesday better than it already is? That's right, Earth People, a selection of random musings and meaningless statistics relating to Fantasy Formula 1 and the Bahrain GP! If only you could figure out a way of achieving this most excellent outcome... While you think about it (and, let's face it, that's going to take a while, isn't it?), you can read this to while away the time... Naughty corner: On-track, Rosberg. His moves didn’t just bend the rules, they snapped them in half and then stomped on the pieces. Off-track, Bernie and the FIA. Letting F1 get itself tangled up in the problems in Bahrain was not their smartest move ever. Hero: Has to go to the Kimster – 11th to 2nd, and he still didn’t look happy. Superstar. Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the cheerless Finn, with a whopping 36 points. Well done to Elmon, who bagged the biggest FF1 points haul to date with a gigantic 124. At the back, my sc...

None of the other teams followed suit, but there was a definite sensation that the school bully had frightened them enough that they weren’t willing to step out of line and risk the wrath of the Diminutive One. Putting the dark atmosphere to one side, the season was finely poised, with no clear pace-setters apparent after the first 3 rounds, and a win separating the first 7 drivers. Shocks were clearly on the cards, and Q1 deposited the first un...

Luckily, the recipe for disaster that was the Bahrain GP turned out to be a great race and nothing more. Seb got to exercise his finger once more, whilst Rosberg's victims are still trying to find their way back into the confines of the circuit. A busy old race then, with some top driving from the Lotus chaps. Kimi nearly smiled too - amazing. Everyone's happy then. Except me. Keep looking down the scores from today and you'll see why. Lower. Bit lower. Keep scrolling...
