Fantasy Formula 1 - Japan results

That was a good podium.

Why? Seb winning puts him within a handful of points of Alonso, Massa coming second shows he can still drive well, and boosts his chances of staying at Ferrari and Kobayashi in 3rd... well, it's Kamui, isn't it? I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about when interviewed but, although he's calmed down a bit, some of his overtakes over the past couple of seasons have had me wide-eyed on the sofa, gripping a cushion so hard you can hear the feathers complaining.

Happy days then. This was the race where Herr Pointyfinger took the title last year. This time it would appear to be going all the way, with five races left. If my smile gets any wider, the top half of my head will fall off.

So, you'll be wanting the Fantasy Formula 1 results, I suppose. Brace yourselves...

I KNOW. How did I only score 43? I've got Kobayashi AND Sauber! Which idiot made these rules up? Oh. Right.

Congratulations to Elmon for bagging the lead! Can he hang on to it, though...?

(Tuneage tonight from Alanis Morissette's "So-Called Chaos" album from 2004. Surprisingly upbeat. Don't you hate it when that happens?)

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

I know I'll regret this...

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

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
