Thought they changed the rules 2 years ago, so to favour other teams. As Ferrari were streets ahead of anyone.

Funny you should say that. 8 of the other teams have said they may well issue a complaint to the FIA regarding Ferrari's front and rear wings, which appear, especially on the onboard cameras, to become looser under high speeds, thus reducing downforce and improving acceleration, and stiffen at low cornering speeds, therefore increasing downforce and cornering grip.

[Sir Bronking]

as martin brundle said on sunday "you read the rules twice, once to see what they are, and twice to see how they can be interpreted in your favour"

[Salty25]

The admin team entries arent doing very well at the moment - we are nearly all in the lower half of the league.

I think we have to enact a "force majeur" clause to give us some extra points

Well, I don't think you have to worry about that any more. Just got the following email -

The Malaysian Grand Prix signalled the end of the Teletext Fantasy F1 Warm Up competition. With points to be reset to zero on Wednesday, now is the perfect time to start increasing the competition by encouraging your family and colleagues to join you in your own Private League. Use our Challenge A Friend facility to tempt them in, so that you can take pleasure in humiliating them.

With the Main Championship due to start with the Australian GP on Sunday 2nd April, you have unlimited changes available to fine tune your team before the start.

In the meantime, congratulations go to Alan Mackenzie, whose team, Newlands, triumphed in the Warm Up competition with 86 points. It was certainly no surprise to see Fernando Alonso in his team, with the Renault driver already speeding to 29 points in the first two races.

All points from the Warm Up competition will be reset on Wednesday 22nd March, so check out http://teletextf1.fantasyleague.com for a last look at your points.

Good luck!

Results from Qualifying of Australian GP - http://www.formula1.com/race/result/753/24.html

Fantastic pole position for Button, and for the last two years to driver in pole position as won the race, it looks positive for the Brit.

Renault achieved 2nd (Fisichella) and 3rd (Alonso) on the grid, followed by the the McLaren pair of Raikkonen (4th) and Montoya (5th). Toyota looks to have improved on previous form, with 6th and 9th on the grid. Ferrari, however, looked less than impressive, Mass pushing to hard and falling to 15th on the grid, while Schumi only in the top 10 due to Villeneuve incurring a 10 place relegation (from qualifying 9th to 19th on the grid).

The big loser of the qualifying this time was Barrichello, who was knocked out in the first session of qualifying, mainly because of Ide getting in the way(!), starting tomorrow in 16th. As a side note, one has much concern for Yuji Ide, the 2nd Super Aguri driver, who had not 1, not 2, but 3(!) seperate 'driving errors' on one lap!

[Sir Bronking]

PRACTICE L.O.G. (after 3rd qual)

[T_G]

[Salty25]

At least I'm consistent

Race Result from Australian GP - http://www.formula1.com/race/result/753/8.html (post-race penalty amendment - http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4196/753.html)

Action packed racing in Melbourne, where Fernando Alonso took his second victory of the season, in a race where the safety appeared four times! Although Button held onto the lead after the first corner, following Massa's retirement, the safety came out, thus resulting in Button's wheels cooling down, from which Alonso took full advantage, overtook him, and drove off into the distance.

It was a worrying race for Button, who was on pole, but in the race suffered greatly again from tyre problems, which appeared to lose grip due to being unable to retain heat after the slow laps behind the safety car. His misery was final compounded when, with Fisichella in chase, at the final corner of the final lap, Button Honda engine blew up, falling little more than 100 metres from the finish. Button clearly has a car which can not match his undoubted talent.

In other news, driver of the day, as agreed by the ITV F1 commentary teams, was Ralf Schumacher, who having suffered a drive-through pit penalty, was able to bring an improving Toyota to third. Kimi Raikkonen finished second, but never really set the world alight. Nick Hiedfeld also had a good race, 8th on the grid - 4th in the race. Schumacher (Michael) had a horrid race, in which he was overtaken by Liuzzi of Torro Rosso, before falling foul of the exit curb of the final corner and smashing into the wall.

And finally, Scott Speed of Torro Rosso finished in 8th, what would have been the Red Bull junior team's first points finish, before later the race stewards relegated him to 11th for ignoring yellow flags. He had finished ahead of the senior Red Bull of Coulthard, and that combinded with Liuzzi's early out-performing of Schumi raises question about the power of the rev-limited v10 engines which only they are allowed (all other teams use v8).

In SupaLiga, in which the main championship has begun, warm-up season champions Sheldon's 'Speedy Devils' are in third (31 pts), TG's 'IG Racing' (What does IG stand for???) are in the lead with 36 points, with John's 'pipjack' trailing by 3 points. The Wolf's 'Wolfs bangers', a late entry to SupaLiga, shot into 4th (30 pts), having not participated in the warm-up season.

And to anyone who had Jenson in their team, I feel your pain .

[Sir Bronking]

TG's 'IG Racing' (What does IG stand for???)

at a guess idiot guide (when your a knight, you know these things )

[Oily]

And to anyone who had Jenson in their team, I feel your pain .

Tell me about it

[T_G]

You are lucky that Jenson's banger packed up just before the line. At one stage it was yesyesyes all my drivers high up in the points, and Montoya and Schumacher out (which means many rivals lost points) but then....
Anyway, lets see what happens in the next race...

[T_G]

Just noticed, I got the grand slam as well, practice and race
Do you get extra points for that??

[Sir Bronking]

i think he could of got over the line, but under team orders did what he did, so he dosen't drop 10 places in next race ???? which is terribly obscene

[T_G]
