Fantasy Formula 1: Abu Dhabi - the other stuff

"Kimi...."

"What?!"

"Thank's for winning the Grand Prix for us, Lotus really..."

"Yes, Yes, Yes, I know you're pleased, now leave me alone!"

"But we just wanted to..."

"Where's my choc ice?"

"Um....."

"Kimi want Coke! Now! NOW NOW NOW!"

"Just give it to him... it seems to be working. Mind you fingers though, he can be a bit..."

"GRARARGGGGGGHHHH!!!!"

"Ambulance to Enstone immediately, please."

Naughty corner: How long have you got? There was a greater than usual display of grade 1 muppetry going on at Abu Dhabi, wasn’t there? I’m plumping for Webber though, for a quality showcase of error-strewn driving that made him look like he’s been getting lessons from Grosjean.

Hero: Remember my affection for Nick Heidfeld and his lovely beard? I think Kimi and his radio messages may be creeping ahead... and for the win, of course. About time too.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was that Vettel chappie, with an astonishing 57 points. Crikey.

Elmon’s record-breaking 176 point score sees him maintain the lead for a fourth race, with Mark E leading the preceding 14. 2 left, and the gap to Ollie C in second is now 36 points. In his 13th season of FF1, is this Elmon’s year? (That sounded quite professional, didn’t it? Sorry about that.)

Vettel takes over the most-points-scored-in-FF1 lead from Alonso, whilst Perez somehow manages to remain 5th best driver to have picked. Yes, Karthikeyan is still last. Seb’s super score sees Red Bull take over the lead from Ferrari, whilst Lotus move up to 3rd. HRT are still entirely last.

Remarkably, the top 3 scores this race are the top 3 of the season, whilst Elmon clears the magical 1000 point mark.

Next race: Head over to the USA y’all! It’s the inaugural US GP on the 18th of November! It’s on in the evening (if you’ve got Sky) or after beddie-byes time (if you’ve only got the BBC). Yee! And in all probability, Ha!

(More of Mr Oldfield playing tonight - this time it's one of my favourite albums, 1982's "Five Miles Out".)

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...

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...

Going Underground

By
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...
