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 pick...

I still have no idea how the Mercedes tricksy DRS thing does what it does. Feed air from the rear wing... through the car... so it makes the front wing work better. At 200mph... Nope. No idea. Nor, apparently, did Lotus, who made an attempt to get it banned prior to the race, but with no effect. I suspect the stewards had no idea how it does it either, and it’s hard to say something is breaking the rules when you’ve got no idea what it’s actually doing.   The complicated Bahrain GP saga continued, with the FIA and Bernie proclaiming it fine and safe to go to, seemingly conveniently avoiding the whole issue of people get killed whilst protesting, which is what folks are actually upset about. Can sport be entirely free from politics? Should F1 avoid all countries with a dodgy human rights record? (That’s dodgy human rights record, as opposed to dodgy Human League record. With the first, people have to contend with scary stuff from people with strange haircuts and a dang...

Nice one, Britney! The blonde one with the sticky-out ears (not Samantha Brick, no) finally broke a somewhat lengthy duck and won his first race. Not only that, he did it in commanding style. Meanwhile, everyone else seemingly needed to visit Kwik-Fit a bit, er, kwicker, as clapped-out tyres saw drivers dropping down the order faster than Norbert can see off a tray of pies. And so we come to the not inconsiderable matter of the Fantasy F1 scores. Well, it's like dis. And, in all probability, dat, too:   RACE RESULT Position Name   Points 1 Andy 86 2 Paul 85 3 Tony 78 4 Kristin 74 5 Chris 70 6 Martin S 67 7 Heather 66 8 Olie B 64 8 James 64 =10 Ian S ...
