F1 Fantasy League off season chat 2012-13

For those of you who think Lewis may have lost his focus and become a bit of a 'girls blouse', ponder on this....

"girls blouse" is to weak...tw*t may be better..!!!

anyways see Sky Sport F1 havce got GP2 and GP3 coverage also....so thats how they will be padding out the F1 channel...by covering non F1 races also!!!
Although some of the 30 min GP2 and GP3 races are great, and can be more exciting and have more action than 2 hours of F1!

Actually, 'girls blouse' was an overly subtle hint that he had taken to modelling clothes.

In again as Force Nee Idea, maybe should have changed it to Force Some Idea as it's my second season! Good luck everyone.

Gawd the new Ferrari looks weird with its "bump" in the nose.

Caterham have the same apparently.

Described as ugly by the Italian mediaO-zzz

First action of the season - testing at Jerez.

And yup the cars look ugly as hell with the bump in front of the wheels

Raikkonen in the Lotus/Renault was fastest with De Resta in the Forced Indias second

 

[misterminibus]

Pro-drive again

I hope I can do much better this year

OK, I have quite belatedly joined up with F1 Aberdeen (as usual) and with a second team F1 Wheelers!

 

[woborny]

Apparently Barcelona and Valencia will be hosting the Spanish GP on alternate years.

Anyone else want to take part?

Team Oily and Team Oily 2!

Schmutzig GP (mainly because I've always found it funny that an F1 team is called clean!)

Not sure how to play so have picked any old settings! Will read up on it before the weekend.

 

[Lazarus]

Don't worry - even those of us who've played for a couple or three seasons have no idea what we're doing either!

We know what that will end up as - "fergyc holds 1st and 2nd place in the league after the Australian GP"

Yah welcome to the game.

Very simple, choose the best team you can from the budget. You get an extra £2million to play with after each race, which you can save up to splurge on one go, or make incremental small changes every race.

You are restricted to 3 changes for each race after Australia - atm you can make unlimited changes, so try to get your basic team line up more or less sorted before the weekend. Make sure you try to guess the qualifying places for each driver - you get 5 extra points if you guess correctly. You wont get it every race but they are a useful bonus when you do get them.

Also if its available at the level you are playing at try to guess the fastest lap - or just click the guru button. Again there are bonus points available for getting close.

If you get hopelessly confused dont be afraid to ask - someone will sort you out.

You can enter a second team and play an alternative strategy if you want to.

Caterham are what were the green & yellow Lotuses last season.

What is now Lotus was the black & gold Renaults last year.....

So who is going to watch a non-BSkyB Channel live at 6am tomorrow and Sunday?

I'm not sure whether to wait for the BBC Highlights progs or to record RTL on the PVR and start watching it at Brekkie time.

German Commentary vs. Trying to avoid all Media for several hours ............

I did intend to get up for RTL qualifying coverage as it starts at 7am here. However, thanks to a dodgy tea time spicy pizza causing blown exhaust problems during the night I didn't wake up till quali was 20 mins gone. I'll try to make it at 7am on Sunday for the race.

 

[Lazarus]

I cheated and recorded a DVD - just seen Quali.

No spoilers, though as many won't be watching until later.
