Wow what a fantastic last few laps with Button & Webber...
Kamui Kobayashi is looking promising too...
This was my 1st proper season in the fantasy & I really enjoyed it guys, my thanks to Salty & Analoguesat for organising it for us.

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

The organisation is nothing to do with me mm - Salty must get all the credit

I just cause my usual havoc on the thread

Vettel and Red Bull triumphant at Yas Marina Hot from F1.com

Once a brake problem slowed McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel had no competition in Sunday evening's inaugural day/night Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.A brilliant win cemented his second place in the drivers' world championship behind Brawn GP's Jenson Button, who enlivened the end of the race with a superb challenge to second-placed Red Bull of Mark Webber in the closing stages...

SupaLiga final report to follow shortly...

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Introducing the SupaLiga stars...

Norm – F1 Aberdeen
Total: 2373pts, Best GPs: Monaco and European, both 165pts
Qualified for 2010 PFF1 Champions League

The first half of the season for F1 Aberdeen was decidedly average, and for a long time the 2007 champions were stuck in 9th place. The second half of the season, however, is a testament to the sheer mastery of Norm and a demonstration of why he deservedly becomes the first manager to win the F1 SupaLiga title for a second time. From Germany onwards, F1 Aberdeen’s rise up the standings was unstoppable, including 4 top scores and the 9th best score at Valencia across the whole of PFF1. Winning the European Cup confirmed Norm’s credentials as the man to beat, and when the Scot went up to 1st at Singapore, he held all the cards. The stellar performance in Japan, 156pts, ultimately extinguished my Auto-Dynamo team’s hopes of reclaiming top stop. Norm continues to be the standard bearer for others to follow.

Salty25 – Auto-Dynamo
Total: 2323, Best GP: Spain, 175pts (Joint highest ever race score)
Qualified for 2010 PFF1 Cup

As one of the earliest ‘all-Brawn’ teams in the middle of the scandal which rocked PFF1 during the first half of the season, Auto-Dynamo reaped great rewards, including the joint highest score ever achieved in F1 SupaLiga – 175pts in Spain, also achieved by kleefarr’s Honda-Williams in Spain and Daz’s BTTR in Australia. However, it would not be until Germany that I managed to get onto the top step. Except for a blip at the infamous Belgian GP, Dynamo stayed on top for the remainder of the European season, but my form was waiving and when the F1 circus went to the nightlights of Singapore, disaster struck – 109pts was nowhere near enough to prevent F1 Aberdeen from taking the lead for the first time. A big performance was required in Japan to keep the fight for the league alive. However, my hopes disappeared over the horizon in the land of the rising sun, as Norm’s barnstorming weekend sealed the deal. An opportunity squandered for your league secretary.

Dazdazdazzy – BTTR (Better Than The Rest)
Total: 2290, Best GP: Australia, 175pts (Joint highest ever race score)
Qualified for 2010 PFF1 Cup

The newcomer set the league on fire, much like Brawn GP, by setting the best ever score at the first race of the season. But that great start was not followed up by more excellence as BTTR as 122pt in Malaysia saw a drop to 3rd in the rankings, which is where they stayed despite getting the top score in China and 174pts in Spain. In fact, things got worse in Monaco, dropping to 5th in the principality. Thankfully for Daz, that was the lowest they fall – indeed, he is the only manager to have not place lower than 5th all season. Performances improved and within two race BTTR were back on top. But they fall behind my Dynamos, and although they briefly retook 1st in Belgium, a sustained challenge for the crown never materialised. Dropping to 3rd in Italy, Daz faced a new challenge in the shape of the dynamic duo of Oily and Topper. On to the final race in Abu Dhabi – the trio were separated by 9pts with BTTR heading the group. A big performance was needed, nothing else would do. Result? The Tossers with 131pts were nowhere to be seen. So it was a head-to-head: BTTR 150-158 Team Oily... BTTR take 3rd place by a SINGLE POINT!!! As ever, newcomers always have a chance in SupaLiga.

Honourable mentions also go to kleefarr, who secured the Americas & Asia Cup as well as that joint highest ever score, as well as leading the league for three races (Spain, Monaco and Turkey). bite and his Superkomanda team also impressed, quietly working away to finish in 8th, while 10th for rolfw represents a massive improvement for Burnin’ Rubber on their 2008 showing. Despite ending the season in 9th, misterminibus was the early pacesetter, leading the league during the early stages (Malaysia, China and Bahrain).

As ever, it’s been a real pleasure following (and nearly winning!) F1 SupaLiga, this year has been the best yet, thank you all! Bring on 2010!

14th down 8??? I demand a recount

(or at least an award for the worst perfomer year on year)

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Unfortunately yes, last season you finished 6th.

Hopefully I continue along my pattern:
2007 - 4th
2008 - 3rd
2009 - 2nd
2010 - ?

I have recounted for you & found that I finished 1st

***Oily*** · 2 Weeks Ago

Big thanks to Salty for the reports this season

If only Lewis had finished...............

Well done to the top three and roll on next year

Hooray!!!

**Norm** · 2 Weeks Ago

Also from me, a big thanks to Salty for his efforts both in organising and making sure an interest is maintained in the league throughout the season.

As for me - I don't know whether to retire or join Ferrari!

Retiring is probably faster than a Ferrari

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

I think you'll have to start selecting your team blindfolded, Norm

Anyway, you've never actually defended a SupaLiga title.....

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

I should, of course, also say a big thank to Maverick, the owner and 'preseidente' of PFF1, whose tireless work makes the game what it is - fantastic!

***misterminibus*** · 2 Weeks Ago

I think my signature beats them all

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Lol, I love it, actually love it!

***misterminibus*** · 2 Weeks Ago

I am glad you like it lol
how many will borrow this from me do you think?

it's opensource guys, borrow away

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

You have a spelling mistake mm! Too many o's !! Apparently you are looser

Toyota have withdrawn from F1:

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Looser is meant to be ironic in this instance, I presume.

Really stylish by Toyota - let the team carry on developing a car for '10, give a young driver like Kobayahsi a chance and what seemed an almost certain race seat, and then pull the rug from under their feet at the end. Hell, it wasn't but a matter of weeks ago that they were in talks with Kimi Raikkonen.

**Topper** · 2 Weeks Ago

To be honest, although I have not yet read any article about it, I can to a large degree sympathise with Toyota and any other teams on this predicament. The whole arguments that took place at the beginning of the season signing the new accords etc were designed to reduce overall costs, now we have Bernie telling them that next year there will be 20 races 4 more than 2008 and 3 more than 2009.

It is all Bernies fault once again, come on Bernie time to retire gracefully

**Analoguesat** · 2 Weeks Ago

Bombshell #2??

Renault may be going too:

_http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8343221.stm

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Renault going would obviously swing the balance of power back to FIA from FOTA, privateers don't have the resources or commercial interests to push FIA like manufactuers do. This could have serious consequences, including the British GP being under considerable threat from money-making new territories, the continuing lack of races in the US, budget caps, maybe even standardised engines.

***Tivù*** · 2 Weeks Ago

This is chortle-worthy

**Topper** · 2 Weeks Ago

There is nothing like a bit of positivity, ambition, thirst for success etc topped off with a big helping of miserable failure

It is a shame they did not do more in the 7 years they were racing or was it six?

**Salty25** · 2 Weeks Ago

Granted, Toyota have been a massive failure, especially considering that only Ferrari have spent more than them over the duration.

Still, if you look at those who have left and Renault, the record is impressive:

Honda - More or less financed the development of the 2009 Brawn GP car, also had a championship-level end to the 2006 season with Button.

BWM - 16 podiums and 1 win, 2nd in 2007 and 3rd in 2008 in constructors championship.

Renault - 2 world drivers' championships for Alonso, as well as 2 team titles, developed the revoluntionary (and subsequently banned) mass damper system.

Toyota - Undoubtedly a failure, but there were signs that it could have worked when Gascoyne was there (4th in '05), sacked for making statements of micromanagement by heads.

**Analoguesat** · 5 Days Ago

Mercedes have bought Brawn:
