Fantasy Formula 1- Germany results

Ah, so that's what Sebastien Vettel looks like when he's sulking.

I was beginning to think he was permanently nice and cheery. That cheeky use of some land not designated as 'track' to get past Button was definitely naughty, and his look of innocence when Jenson brought the subject up in a frightfully polite, jolly British, way before the podium ceremony was the worst bit of acting since Dick van Dyke... er.. anything with him in really.

He then had a good grumble to the press about Hamilton not showing any respect when unlapping himself, in a display of arrogance last seen when Senna said pretty much EXACTLY THE SAME WORDS about Eddie Irvine.

Still. It's comforting to know know that something other than his pointy finger works well - now we can add bruised ego to the list.

With Seb getting booted off the podium (look on the bright side - at least we didn't have to listen to the Kimster mumble his way through a post-race interview) it made for an intersting day for the FF1 scores...

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

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

I know I'll regret this...

For @Feisty_Onion @BroughtonLass @LizWestmorland Me... before the grumpiness set in. Have a great weekend.
