Fantasy Formula 1 - China: the other stuff


Evenin' all. How the devil are you? Really? Ooh. Nasty.

Time once more for some random Fantasy Formula 1 stuff, to conclude out extended, red button, uber-coverage of the Chinese GP. In High Def. And Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. With a flake on top.

Naughty corner: Whoever/whatever cocked-up Schumi’s chances of being on the podium by fumbling the wheel nut during his pitstop.

Hero: It can only be the blonde bombshell himself, Britney Rosberg. After all this time, when it came together for him, it REALLY came together!

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Rosberg, with 26 points.

Mark E manages race number 3 at the head of table, but the chasing pack is closing in. Can he keep it up...?

Front to back gap – 455 points. That’s quite a large number, isn’t it?

In the FF1 World Championship, the best driver so far is in fact two of them... and it’s not who you might think. Alonso and Perez are joint leaders so far, with Massa the worst driver to have picked (not that anyone did) as he’s yet to score anything. The team standings see McLaren up front and HRT at the back.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Norbert is still smiling like a Cheshire cat on laughing gas.

Next race: Apparently it’s on... for now. Bahrain time (it’s like Hammer Time, but more violent) is this Sunday the 22nd of April. If you’re watching it on the BBC, good luck. Their highlights coverage is scheduled to last a massive 80 minutes at 5pm.

Try not to blink.

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...

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.

Going Underground

The US presidential election and Brexit must have made me more nervous than I’d realised. It seems I’ve created an underground bunker without realising I was doing it. Still – we’ve all done that at some point, right? No? Ah... In that case, the fact that I have inadvertently turned my cellar into a rudimentary survival shelter, just in case it all kicks off, demonstrates a severe case of bunker mentality. Fretting about Donald and his wall, and Hillary and her emails, clearly made me more paranoid that I thought about the possibility of WW3 kicking off. Whilst attempting to find a specific size of imperial washer the other day (turns out I’d mis-filed it in the nut cabinet – Tsk!) I was struck by what a lot of jam and chutney we have in the cellar. And I do mean a LOT. There are boxes of boiled-up sugar and fruit and more boxes of boiled up vinegar and fruit. We’re still only part way through 2015’s output too. Then there’s the plastic containers holding pasta in various for...
