Cool ta

60 points for me so far.

Do you get the points deduction for a DNF if your guy doesn't reach the grid...?  

TimmyO

How'd I do?

The F1 fantasy website has fallen over... 

I got my own page to load. My A team has 94, my B-team has 143 (thanks Norris as Turbo driver!) and I can’t get anything else to load!

Ha. Doesn't reflect well on a sport that trades on its hi tech credentials

stickyfiddle

Nope. I just refreshed the page and it showed me different numbers as well, so their systems are obviously shite!  

Will update this in a day or two once it settles...

Apparently I have 185 points. No idea if that's good or bad really, until they update the leagues.

I have 131 after todays race.  The website says Im ranked no 1 which is clearly wrong if others of you have scored higher.

chillidoggy

Oh, yes, joint last with Sticky! 101 points, apparently.

stickyfiddle

Ah, beans...

That’s me off the bottom joint with Chilli. My B team would have been 3rd with 160. Looks like the answer, as ever, is “choose Mercedes”. Clearly time for a remit already - I’m wondering if there’s enough cash to get Ham and Max a plus backmarkers?

Dontgiveupyourdayjob

Can we stop the league now please?! 

fretmeister

My B team is better as well at the moment!

Ah well. It's a bit of fun.

Bumping before the weekend - time for any team updates if anyone wants to make any. Not sure when it gets locked.

Is it OK to keep the same line-up? I'm too lazy to change it, and I'll probably come last anyway!

Yeah, that's totally my plan. All the drivers & teams who scored well last week are now more expensive and all the drivers who sucked have lost value, so I couldn't change if I wanted to...

That said, Alonso got way cheaper after his sandwich bag retirement, so I reckon he's a bloody good bet now if anyone wants a change.

stickyfiddle

I’m off the bottom! 

I’m afraid @chillidoggy is still there...

I’ll check again in a couple of days as the scores have definitely changed slightly since I checked yesterday.

In any case, I’m happy with mine after Lando’s brilliant weekend. Looks like I need to put him as my turbo driver instead of Alonso though...

not_the_dj

On the podium....get in!

(it won’t last I’m sure). 

fretmeister

I've dropped 2 places.

I have RIC as my Turbo driver. I think I need to swap him.
