Looking forward to start of the season and to see how my team gets on ;)

[euan]

Haven't tried fantasy F1 before, will be interesting to see how this goes. Might keep up my F1 interest seeing as it's mainly on Sky and I'm refusing to pay for it.

[Coreygraham180]

well i have joined...... this should be fun

[N16SHP]

Thanks for setting this up Alan, should be a laugh if anything!

[Gismo]

Thanks for setting this up Alan, should be a laugh if anything!No worries, was very easy, but, finding a decent one was a challenge.

My team:-
Team = Ferrari
Engine = Ferrari 056
Drivers = Lewis Hamilton, Bruno Senna, Timo Glock and Pedro De La Rosa
Talent = Bruno Senna

[zimbo]

Well I signed up on the site yesterday and they said I had to check my email to finalise my registration.... but I've never recieved an email from them!!! WTF is going on? :argh:


Hope I can do as well in this league just as I did in my first year of the MotoGP last year where I finished 79th overal in the league :smug:

[Gismo]

Check your spam folder, since you use a hotmail account the settings are generally higher than normal accounts, assuming you typed the correct e-mail address :Whistle:

[zimbo]

Check your spam folder, since you use a hotmail account the settings are generally higher than normal accounts, assuming you typed the correct e-mail address :Whistle:

Nope nothing in the junk folder and yes I did enter the correct email address lol I'm just wondering if its because its over the weekend theres nobody in the activate my email etc and someone will do so on Monday, or is that just stupid thinking on my part? :idunno:

[Gismo]

Try registering again with the same email address, this will confirm that you did use the correct one.

Generally there are 2 options to register to a site, the email is automatically sent out or someone sends it after reviewing it.
When I registered the email was instant indicating that it's an automatic system.

Therefore, I reckon you mistyped your email

[zimbo]

Nope did put in the correct email address, just tried saying I had forgotten my password so they would send me a new password, which they have now done, 3 times and each time it's still not working!!! And I have now sent them an email to say that all 3 passwords I've recieved are still NOT letting me activate the account.

I have also just tried to re-register like you suggested Alan in case I did miss-spell my email address but it says that email address is already taken so please choose another, which is obviously due to it being correctly registered the first time around, so it must be a password issue or some fault on their side anyway. So I will now await the outcome of my email to them. :argh:

[Gismo]

Ok, plenty time to get it fixed

[zimbo]

Well thats me FINALLY in and have now got my TEAM sorted out after a very long time trying to decide how to spend a $100 000 000 and and I still wasn't able to afford who/what I really wanted but I eventually settled with the following :thumbs up: ...I still have 1.1 mill in the bank as well :Whistle:

My team:-
Team = McLaren
Engine = Lotus Renualt RS27
Drivers = Mark Webber, Paul Di Resta, Bruno Senna & Heiki Kovalainen
Talent = Paul Di Resta

and I'm starting out in postion 265 :dance:

[Gismo]

Nice one Ali

[Craig]

That's me registered.

Drivers - Perez, Massa, Di Resta, Vergne
Team - Mercedes

Yep your on don't think you can change your user name tho :(

[Stewart]

Probably knowing the least about F1 here apart from wanting Eddie Jordan’s watch every season I’ll take that! ;)

[Gismo]

[weefossy]

Alan, just leave it. For my stupidity, I'll just live with the name for the season.

[zimbo]

Well round two this weekend :D so did anyone use the betting feature at the Oz race?

[Craig]

Nope .....

[Gismo]

Well round two this weekend :D so did anyone use the betting feature at the Oz race?missed it, but, have made my bets for this weeks race :thumbs up:

[Stewart]

Wait is it betting with real dosh or a game feature?

[zimbo]

Wait is it betting with real dosh or a game feature?

Its just pretend money just like the money you had to buy your team, engine and drivers with... :lol:

[Gismo]

I'm confused, i thought we had a maximum of $100,000 to spend? if so, why are some players able to have over that? one in particular that i just counted is sitting at $106,000 :idunno:

As you won money from bets and points scored I'm shure and I think it's only 100,000 for betting not buying and selling your team ect

[weefossy]

So annoyed we missed the first race, but not a bad result this weekeend :thumbs up:

[Stewart]

Wow did better than I thought this race.

My Race went something like “That's right you Muppet hit the car and take out your front spoiler you’ll never recover position”

Its good its giving me an interest to watch it, that and the fact it was raining!

Well Done Malcolm! But my main driver will be back next race!:moonie:

[Coreygraham180]

well i think a swap from pic to perez was a good idea lol

[Gismo]

Forgot to make my bets for this weekends race :ragin:

[stoney]

Forgot to make my bets for this weekends race :ragin:

Snap :(

[Stewart]

Balls so did I...

Question is this so you can buy better drivers and cars over the original limit?

[Gismo]

:whoohoo:I didn't... :p

[Gismo]

:whoohoo:I didn't... :p:moonie:

[weefossy]

I'ii need to read up on this, I haven't a clue how to "bet" or what changes you can make during the season.

[Gismo]

I'ii need to read up on this, I haven't a clue how to "bet" or what changes you can make during the season.Think you're doing ok :Whistle: you've almost got as much points as me with only one race with me with two

[stoney]

Think I should have done ok today ;)

[Gismo]

And wasn't it great to see the finger waving Vettel being overtaken by Button, then Hamilton and the icing on the cake, Webber :motoring:

[stoney]

And wasn't it great to see the finger waving Vettel being overtaken by Button, then Hamilton and the icing on the cake, Webber :motoring:

Yep fantastic I jumped with joy and started clapping and I was sitting my self :lol:

[zimbo]

Yep fantastic I jumped with joy and started clapping and I was sitting my self :lol:

:laugh:

That was a great race today!! Well done to Nico for a great race :clap:

that pitstop of JBs was p!sh though :frown: otherwise he might have stood a chance of getting the top step:argh:

[N16SHP]

Wow, what a race! I am super happy for Nico, always been a big fan of his. I am also chuffed as I had Nico, Lewis and Mercedes as my team for this weekend. Interesting call by Lotus though when Kimi's tyres hit the cliff. I thought they'd of brought him in and gave him some fresh rubber as the cars he was scrapping with were all on used tyres. It would of been a gamble, but he was lapping 3 seconds slower than the leaders so he was going backwards anyway. Never mind, that was just me being fantasy points greedy lol.

[zimbo]

Damn it my team appears to have de-valued by $1,000,000 :thud:

[Gismo]

Damn it my team appears to have de-valued by $1,000,000 :thud:I see you lost 3 places, i jumped up 2, i've got my work cut out for me to try and get better transfers sorted out with very little money to do it with.
Have already made my next transfer by picking a lower team and banking more money for the future transfer

[stoney]

I stayed where I was :)

[Stewart]

Still in Second!:cool:

[stoney]

Fan forgot to bet again :( happy with my team tho :D

[Gismo]

Fan forgot to bet again :( happy with my team tho :DForgot also, am no happy with my team at all :sad:

[stoney]

Well not now after qually but hay Ho need to go online on the pc instead of my phone :lol:

[Stewart]

Balls forgot to bet again!!!!

[zimbo]

No bets for me this weekend, lost a load last time round :moonie: just as well its pretend money :Whistle:

[stoney]

My team was doing well till the last 3 laps :(

[N16SHP]

Woop woop! :thumbs up:

[stoney]

:smilewinkgrin::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

Well I lost 3 places even zimbo is above me now :sad::sad::sad::sad:

[Craig]

Gained 3 places!! ;). Only one if my drivers finished out of the points ;). Good finish to the weekend :yes nod:

[Stewart]

Joint 1st.

If only Button had a better pit team oh and a car that worked!:ragin:

But Go Paul De :thumbs up: getting better and better!

[Gismo]

Absolute last, lost 5 places :sad:

[zimbo]

:smilewinkgrin::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

Well I lost 3 places even zimbo is above me now :sad::sad::sad::sad:

:smug:


Absolute last, lost 5 places :sad:

:frown: poor Gismo... Must admit I dont really fancy the look of the bottom step

Well I made some changes to my team after that poor display and seeing as how I had some spare money in my account, but completley forgot about transfer fees, which my case turned out to be $592,000 :wtf:

Just realised today that when your in looking at our league that you can click on the other players and see what there teams are :yes nod:, some interesting lineups amongst us lot...

[stoney]

Don't forget to bet this week and also look out for me on the tv ;)

[Stewart]

I got in early with the bets after last round.

Enjoy the Race.:thumbs up:

[N16SHP]

I'm having a real dilemma as to what changes, if any, to make to my team. Mercedes should be quick due to the length of the start finish straight of Barcelona, but the Renault is also quick in a straight line, but perhaps more importantly has good high speed cornering for turns 3, 6 & 7. Throw in a re-surging Vettel, a consistent Mark Webber and both McLarens plus home field advantage for Alonso! Decisions decisions!

[Gismo]

I'm having a real dilemma as to what changes, if any, to make to my teamCorrect me if i'm wrong, but, you can only make 1 change per race week? and that assumes you have the funds with which to do it.

My bets are made this time around

[stoney]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but, you can only make 1 change per race week? and that assumes you have the funds with which to do it.

My bets are made this time around

Yep but if you save them u get 2 ;)

[stoney]

I have to say I looked at changing my team but did not as pretty happy


On that not wont be online much now till Tuesday ;)

[N16SHP]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but, you can only make 1 change per race week? and that assumes you have the funds with which to do it.

My bets are made this time around

I think you get 2 changes per race weekend no?

[Gismo]

Should be an interesting set of results, I actually have Maldonado as my driver

[Stewart]

Back in front but only just! Rob actually going to a race on a fact finding mission with a stop watch is going a bit far! ;)

[Gismo]

Don't forget to make your bets for the Monaco race :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Other than making 2 successful bets the Monaco race was a total disaster for me.
I now find myself in the position that i can't make any decisive substitutions, seems to me that you have to have picked the right options at the very start

[zimbo]

I had a bet on and did pretty well if I do say so myself... :D I did alright in this race but it could have been a lot better, dont know what was going on with JB but his performance was terrible!!

[stoney]

I got most improved ;) :lol:

Think you are right gismo think you have to pick well at the start :(

[Craig]

Stayed 5th.... Put my bets on for Canada... :thumbs up:

[Stewart]

Go the big man for the win. Started getting worried when it said is that a few drop of rain. ;)

Button has to get better so he stays just now.

[N16SHP]

I forgot to put my bets on :( I'm with you Stewart, I think Button had such an amazing race in Canada last year that he's staying in my team for next weekend! I cannot see his dip in form lasting too long!

[Gismo]

And i've managed to miss the betting again!

[N16SHP]

Yeah, think I just missed making a couple of changes to my team :(

[zimbo]

Thats strange, theres no results in here yet after yesterdays race! weird...

[zimbo]

....and still nothing!!! everbody has just where they were from the last race in Monaco, wtf is going on?

[Gismo]

A few messages left on their site asking for the update, including mine, perhaps if everyone left a message they would pull their finger out :ragin:

[Gismo]

At last, a message has been posted by someone who is close to the admins, lol, seems the software has gone a bit hazy and the guy reckons the update will happen over the next couple of days.
Why the admins can't post up is beyond me :idunno:

[Gismo]

Apparently the site will be fixed by Monday :mclaren:

[zimbo]

I just went to check ...and NO it's still capput!!

[Gismo]

I just went to check ...and NO it's still capput!!Go check again, you'll be mildly disappointed with the result though :lol:
And, bets made for this weekends race :thumbs up:

Edit: And, since i didn't (wasn't able to) make any transfers for the last race i was allowed 2 for this race, so, we'll see how we get on, need Schumey to at least finish a race though.
Since the start of the season i've not been able to get enough money to make any telling transfers

[stoney]

well i did crap but bets placed for this one :thumbs up::cool:

[Stewart]

Still holding top even with Button ;)

[stoney]

Well that's me made some money from my bets ;)

[Stewart]

Pastor Maldonado:ragin::ragin::ragin::ragin::ragin::frown :

[stoney]

Pastor Maldonado:ragin::ragin::ragin::ragin::ragin::frown :

Well done that man :lol: ment I won both my bets at the last race and made some good money have now got rid of button and took vetell on as looks like he is back on forum all tho had drooped out this due to the car

[zimbo]

...dont worry Jenson I wont give you the boot, your just going through a rough spell just now and will pass :yes nod:

No comment about the finger pointer :hand:

[stoney]

Need some good points playing tactics now :lol: have u seen Stewart's teep no wonder he is at the top :lol:!

[Stewart]

Here I had to buy low and sell high and save hard to get that line up ;) And still there all pish ;(

[zimbo]

Well I think I did pretty well this time around in the British GP :thumbs up::clap:

[stoney]

I did crap this time :(

[Stewart]

Got a good line up but being pulled down by poor engine and team at times. Plus I lost Paul who is my talent early on.

[Gismo]

Did everyone remember to make their bets for today's race?

[stoney]

Did everyone remember to make their bets for today's race?

Nope :(

[stoney]

[Craig]

Did everyone remember to make their bets for today's race?

Nope. Never bet... Dinnae have the time !! :lol:

[Gismo]

And justice was served :thumbs up:

[stoney]

And justice was served :thumbs up:


i know but not good for my team :(

- - - Updated - - -

well thats mer made my bets and some changes to my team again as need to stop loosing places neer last now :sad:

[Stewart]

I played with buying Button again last week – Dam!!!!!!!

But no went with what I thought would be an engine upgrade that lost points over what I had originally.

[Stewart]

Balls or should that be Nuts and bolts!

Down three places.:ragin:

[stoney]

Balls or should that be Nuts and bolts!

Down three places.:ragin:

Don't even want to look lol

[Stewart]

That reminds me I Pulled out last night and that GP was a few spaces down as it pulled out and did a wee burly...Ill get you that no. some time ;)

[zimbo]

:thumbs up: climbed the rankings again... :dance:

[stoney]

i moved up 1 place :lol:

[Stewart]

I'm down a few. Hamilton getting bashed off the track did not help at all.....I seen the replay and thought right I'm away back outside that's my points screwed ;)

New engine was purchased....;)

[Gismo]

I'm down a few. Hamilton getting bashed off the track did not help at all.....I seen the replay and thought right I'm away back outside that's my points screwed ;)
Dead last and rightly so, virtually my entire team was wiped out :sad:

[Craig]

Dead last and rightly so, virtually my entire team was wiped out :sad:

:lol:

[weefossy]

One crash before the first bend and I lost 3/4 of my team. What was Grosjean doing? And as for Maldonado, how did he ever get an F1 seat....what a muppet.

[Gismo]

Before the race even begins one of my drivers has a 5 place penalty for a non scheduled gear box change and another has a 10 place penalty for the 2 incidents from the last race :ragin:

[zimbo]

:Whistle:

[Gismo]

Well, all my drivers finished the race, be interesting to see this weeks points

[weefossy]

What a difference a week makes....last week 3 drivers out at first corner....this week they are 1 2 and 3 with Paul DLR coming in 8th!! Should help my numbers.

[Stewart]

Well my top two drivers both DNFd :argh: ...so I dont think I want to see how my results went for that crap race :moonie:

[stoney]

Well I stayed in the same place as I was last week :)

[N16SHP]

I took a bit of a gamble by binning Seb and replacing him with Schuey (possibly the worst feeling ever cheering on MSC) and it seems to have paid off. Although I have been tickling along ok all season, I lost a heck of a lot of cash with Button's slump then selling him right before his resurgance so MSC helped recoop some of that cash.

Season is still looking pretty tight if you ask me and could we see McLaren take a constructers title for the first time in years!!

[Gismo]

Don't forget to place your bets folks :thumbs up:

[Stewart]

I just know if I kick Webber out he will bloody win!

[stoney]

Well I kicked vetel and took Alonso but prob won't do me any fav

[zimbo]

Night race this weekend :thumbs up: would love to see this race in the flesh :yes nod:

Singapore is an amazing place

[Gismo]

Bets made again in time :thumbs up:

[stoney]

And me very skint now :lol:

[zimbo]

I put a bet on again, this will now be the 7th time I've done so apparently, and I've only made money back once!!! :thud:

I got up early to watch the race and was half way through my cereal when the first corner incident happened...cue the dribble of milk and cereal missing the bowl and onto the floor as I sit stationary watching 2 of my drivers getting wiped out in the first corner :argh: :frown:

I only seen the highlights but seen the start I was watching the BTCC live on ITV so was going to watch the Plato race then went back. I said "Oh great Webber you Arse you are out again" but he got back in it so fair play ;) Came back after the BTCC and first thing i did was count my drivers ;)

[N16SHP]

Yeah, have to say, the addition of a fantasy league this year has really spiced up watching F1. By my own standards I am an F1 geek and fanatic, always have been since I could walk, some of my earliest memories are watching Mansell and Hill with my old man on a Sunday.

What do folk think about Grojean considering he's destroyed probably one if not two of everyones fantasy weekends? Personally I think he just needs an arm round him, but he's already shrugged off offers from Jackie Stewart.

yep defo likening the F1 i am the same remember sitting with my old man wachin F1 the god old days of Senna :)
as for Grojean he just need to calm down a bit at the starts he is a very good driver when not taking out others but can not see him being in F1 next year !! costing to much on repairs :lol:

Yeah, was it not Senna himself that always used to say, you can never win a race in the first corner, but you can lose it.

I think Grojean will still be a Lotus, but if he's not, I have no idea who is going to replace him. I'd love to see James Calado replace him but I doubt it.

yep you are right but at the same time look at the year hew took Alan Prost off at the first corner to win the championship :lol:

[Gismo]

Senna's argument was that the pole position did not tie in with the first corner and he was right, he felt it was a disadvantage and he proved it

[Gismo]

I've resigned myself to being dead last :lol:

im not far in front :lol:

Yeah the FL has been a great motivator to watch the races, I’m a bad one for watching the first few laps going away and coming back in for the last few.

Just want a strong finish from these lads :smilewinkgrin:

Go Team Gismo! ~I'm sure there is still time to make up a place or two :thumbs up:

[N16SHP]

I'm getting frustrated. Everytime I make a change the driver I either dumped finishes strongly or the driver I pick up gets wiped out. So, who do you all want to win the title as I'm pretty sure I can decide it for you :D

[Gismo]

Last again

[zimbo]

Last again

...at least you can only go upwards from there :lol:

[Gismo]

...at least you can only go upwards from there :lol:Can't seem to do that :ragin:

[Stewart]

Well two of my drivers did what was expected and came in 1 & 2 :thumbs up: the third driver decided he wanted part of the Astroturf for his back garden for later:frown: and Kobayashi kindly took the worry out of watching my fourth. Cheers Kob for smashing Button of the track!!!!!:ragin:

[stoney]

At least I moved up 1 place :lol:

[Neil and Lorna]

At least I moved up 1 place :lol:

So did I, to go top :smilewinkgrin: Sorry Stewart :smilewinkgrin:


Bets placed for Abu Dhabi.

Still got 3M to use and 2 changes but unable to afford any better selections that I have already.

Would of scored more points at India if I hadn't sacked Jenson for Kimi. :hand:

Good luck to all on the last 3 races. :thumbs up:

Neil.

[weefossy]

Well I sacked Hamilton for Kimi and it has paid off. Alonso was second which was great, but Paul Di R and Perez have let me down a bit. Still, I've had much worse weeks.

[Stewart]

Bad week for me with two drivers down!!!!!!!:ragin: and one not having enough jungle juice in Qualifying :frown: but to come back to take third!!!! :thumbs up: for his drives there is only one man worth the title! :smilewinkgrin:

Ugh, 20 laps in I was sitting grinning as I had 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th...then it all went pete tong! Ended up with only 2 drivers finishing! Gonna have to do some bold out the box thinking to try and recover it for the last 2 races if I'm gonna have any chance of winning!

[stoney]

Mind and place your bets :)

[Gismo]

Mind and place your bets :)Fed up making the same bets, they just use the same ones every race

Just think you can only do better next year :lol: ;) I'm not that far in front :(

[weefossy]

the years nearly up and i still don't know how to bet.....doh!!

[Neil and Lorna]

Sacked Kimi and reinstated Jenson for Abu Dhabi. :thud: Which resulted in a poor performance, but still managed to hold onto top spot.:smilewinkgrin:

Bets placed and slight change to team for the USA race.

So Jenson sacked again and Vettel in for USA.:thumbs up:

Neil.:popcorn:

I joined another league where i wasn't last :lol:

Yes would be the answer to that ;). And he's also a sore loser :lol:

[zimbo]

I too have got rid of one driver and added a new one to my team for the last two races, hope I can now climb up the ranks for the last two races. Theres always next years season Alan :lol:

Dont know about anyone else but I have really enjoyed being part of this league this year and I really look forward to next years one with all you guys again :arms: even if I am running in the middle of the pack. (at least I'm not bottom :dance:)

[Stewart]

As I’ve said I was one for watching the start and coming back in for the end and not really having a vested interest in who won. That changed with this, I’ve got into it and watched more full races start to finish. Shouting at the TV at times when something stupid on the track happens especially when someone takes out my Driver ;)

[Gismo]

Well, my main driver won the race, I had another in the points and the other 2 finished the race, i might just have a decent score for once :mclaren:

[zimbo]

Well as soon as I saw Mark pulling off the circuit the first thing I said/thought was O.F.F.S :idunno: not again!!

I really hope the finger pointer wins the title in Brasil :thumbs up:

[Craig]

Yeah don't want spoilt brat Alonso winning the title :rolleyes:

Massa looked happy at the start of the race..... Not, but it worked out for them as a team...

fecking Webber…….I’ve lost so many points with him.:ragin: Not to worry! :smilewinkgrin: Down to Third,:sad: lowest I think I’ve been but its close at the top and going to the last race.:thumbs up:


Anyway I'm fighting it out with all the Neil's, that's as suspect as Ferrari’s tactic's...:smilewinkgrin:

[Gismo]

Had my best ever result, the top of the table is going to the last race, good luck folks

[N16SHP]

Anyway I'm fighting it out with all the Neil's, that's as suspect as Ferrari’s tactic's...:smilewinkgrin:

:thumbs up:

It's gonna be a great finish to the fantasy league for sure!!

I am really torn, on one hand I am not a fan of Alonso even though there is no denying he has out driven his car all year. But on the other hand I really cannot stand Vettel! I found myself cheering on Alonso at the weekend which was a first. It's just a real shame Lewis hasn't had a reliable car, I think if you were to give him back all the points he'd of won if his car hadn't of broken down it would of been a 3 way title fight!!

[Stewart]

It will interesting that's for sure! One big crash and it could go tits up for the top three :) Anyone from 1-5 is in with a shout!

[zimbo]

:nag: COME ON VETTEL!!!!

[Gismo]

:nag: COME ON VETTEL!!!!Eh, I dont want Alonso or Vettel to win, out of the 2 i'd prefer Alonso

[Gismo]

Lol, Vettel been hit and is damaged

[Stewart]

That gave me a chuckle if that is the right word!!!! :p

As I’ve said the guy gets knocked down and relegated to the back and it never fazes him, worthy winner of the title by more than the points suggest with his poor luck over the season. :thumbs up:

I’m just boarding a private jet to get down there and find that prat who run Hamilton off the track….I could have killed him when I seen it. :ragin:

In all a fantastic gripping end of season race, to all the Ferrari and Alonso fans- In your face!:smilewinkgrin:

[Neil and Lorna]

I'm not one for blowing my own trumpet but :

Champion

Nail biting race on track and brain numbing trying to work out the computations for the fantasy league.:D

Just managed to get there in the end though.:yes:

Neil.

[weefossy]

Congrats Neil, well done. Think if our Nellie had been in at the begining, he might have given you a closer run.

[Neil and Lorna]

Congrats Neil, well done. Think if our Nellie had been in at the begining, he might have given you a closer run.

Yeh, I can remember saying to myself back in the Summer that Nellie would of been up there fighting for the lead if he hadn't missed the first race.:thud:

Neil.:popcorn:

[Stewart]

Oh I wish I had not looked, if Hamilton had made it round first or second and with him my plus 50% Bonus it would probably won me it. I actually lost 32 points knowingly to get more money a few weeks back that backfired as well. :ragin:

Close with nothing in it at the end.
Congrats Neil, catch you next season.:smilewinkgrin:

2nd Baby !

And for you die hard F1 veterans I’m proud to say :moonie: by someone that never followed it remotely close. I fancy a trip to see one now :smilewinkgrin:

Mid table for me but that's mostly cod I only made 2 changes all season :thud: need more time :rolleyes:

[zimbo]

Well done Neil :thumbs up: and everyone else for a great season (must do better next year :yes nod:)

Gismo HTF did you only manage to score 72 points in that race :scratch:

That was an awesome end of season race, was on the edge of my seat the whole race, shouting at the telly on numerous occassions especially when Seb got spun out in turn 4.

Vettel well done my man :clap:, he did an amazing job to get back into the race and do what he needed to win the title and well done to Red Bull for doing it 3 in a row.

Alonso :moonie: "Ha Ha" (sure this is what RB and Seb would have also been thinking lol) I think Felipe had a great race and showed that he still has what it takes to be in F1 (one of my longtime favourite drivers in F1)

Sad to see Schumis last race (2nd time round) he is a legend after all.

Jenson Button, you are the man what a brilliant job he did.

All I say to finish off is to say I CANNOT wait for March 2013 to get here the new season to begin, with loads of driver changes etc etc, lets hope its going to be just as great as this one was. See you guys in 2013 :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Gismo HTF did you only manage to score 72 points in that race :scratch:Every one of my drivers crashed out of the race :lol:

[weefossy]

"plus 50% Bonus it would probably won me it".
"I actually lost 32 points knowingly to get more money"

I think for next year I need to learn the rules, cause I haven't a clue what Stewart's talking about.

[N16SHP]

Well done Neil and the rest of the folk in the league. What an epic final race and great end to our first F1 fantasy league.

[Stewart]

I think for next year I need to learn the rules, cause I haven't a clue what Stewart's talking about.

You got a nice Bonus for your Talent driver who I had as Hamilton, when he crashed out all I seen was points spinning right out the door of my FF1 team. :frown: Plus it did not help Vettel got knocked and spun. I thought he was out of the race till he started up again. :thumbs up:

I think the main thing was treating the drivers, Teams and Engines like a commodity early doors. Buy cheep and sell high to profit enough to buy what most would regard the best. :smilewinkgrin:

At the end I had both my team and engine as Red- Bull with drivers Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Button. But you still needed luck to get them all to finish well. My other drivers I floated between were only Raikkonen and di Resta. But went through a few teams and engines to get what I considered the best in the Red Bull setup.


Good fun all the same and look forward to next season. I can't decide if Webber is just poor or just unlucky but he should be doing more with that car and team behind him.:confused:

[stoney]

So who is up for doing this again this year ??

[T5LLC]

what does it entail? I love F1 :)

[stoney]

You make a team up then hope for good results make bets ect and try and win fake cash so you can change your team to the best one possible :) have a look on the fist page there is a link to the site there

[Stewart]

No I’m still not talking! To get shafted in the last race with ten laps to go :ragin: to become second because Hamilton crashed ooooout due to yon muppet hitting him.:ragin:

Joking of course, it was good fun last season and kept my interest going over the season. :thumbs up:

New Cars and new Drivers on teams…..should be interesting. Not holding out much hope for Hamilton, the car just is not up for it.


Just heads up its actually UP so you can pick your Team etc. Alan will set it all up again I take it?
