Fantasy Formula 1: Italy - the other stuff

Good to see Lewis doing his RoboHamilton thing again, like a big, spoilt, self-obsessed, arsey, erm... Robot.

He's done this before - refuse to show too much emotion, don't get too excited about anything, keep the smiles to a minimum, stick head in sand and hope no-one notices.

We noticed. Clearly, something is wrong in Hami-land. Whilst McLaren still seem to be a very good bet indeed, it appears something is making Lewis look elsewhere. Being shown up by Button, perhaps? Believing in his own hype too much? Not winning titles?

Whatever it is, I doubt he'll find it at Mercedes. On the plus side, someone else will get a chance in a decent car. I'd like to see Perez in there. That way, McLaren can save on their tyre bill even more and spend it on a smilebotomy for Ron Dennis.

Naughty Corner: Seb was a touch naughty, wasn’t he? He’s a very likeable chap, but sometimes we forget he’s an F1 driver: the desire to win sometimes overrules politeness and fair play.

Hero: Has to be that man Perez. He’s out-Buttoning Jenson with his tyre-management skills, and he’s speedy too. Me likey.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Perez, with a large 38 points.

It looked like Mark E was being reeled-in at the last race, but he’s done an Alonso, and managed to extend his lead again this time. So it’s 13 races at the front, and a 40 point lead now.

Got 384 points? No? Then you can’t move up from last to 1st. Sorry
.
It the shiny, happy, world of FF1, Alonso leads the championship, with Perez now up to 3rd. Pedro de la Rosa scored yet again...and stays last. Whist Ferrari continue to lead the constructors battle, Red Bull slump to 4th. HRT continue to be extremely last.

Top work by Olie B – this is the 8th consecutive race he’s moved up the standings. He’s 15th though, so still some work to do there...

Next race? Time to turn the lights on and hope the local authorities have put enough 50pence pieces in the meter – It’s the Singapore GP on the 23rd of September! Darkalicious!

(Still MC Frontalotting it. I type quicky, don't I?)

Faking it for real

By
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

By
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...

A very modern malady

By
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...
