I'll do the Malaysia roundup before the weekend.

How does Lewis Hamilton's grid penalty affect your Fantasy team predictions for qualifying? (assuming you have LH as a driver) The team page says 'qualifying predictions', so if LH qualifies fastest but is then penalised to fifth do I predict his qualifying position or grid position? Is it like the race where penalties applied after the finish don't count for league results? (yes we know he has a penalty but don't know where he'll end up on the grid).....maybe I'm nit picking over one point LOL.

 

[Analoguesat]

I think its like the result - qualifying results stands at the moment the Q3 flag falls

The overdue Malaysia round up:

League qualifying

Tivu wobble & prodrive ran away with the qualifying with 25 points each. 5 other teams scored more than 20 points. :-worship



On the track the Malaysian race turned into a thriller with the rain playing a major role. The race was red flagged after just 6 laps after the track became too dangerous to race on. Sergio perez showed his potential in the wet chasing leader Alonso down. Perez may have won apart from a slight mistake in the closing laps which sent him skittering off the track. Alonso then had enough of a cushion to take his 28th win. Rookie Jean-Eric Vergne bought his Toro Rosso home a very creditable 8th.

Wobbles Petrolhedz team became the first team to break the magic 100 race points this season A superb 2 race score of 181 puts wobbles 19th overall in the whole series.

Ricks first team got 96 race points, Tivu took 95, and Ricks #2 team took 91.


Next race this weekend so please update your teams accordingly

A reminder - China is a BBC race - so no shenanigans with RTL, TF1 or RAI 1 for our none Sky Sports members

Oh dear - a disastrous start to the season for your league organiser - Im in 22nd & 24th places


(However my #5 team is doing much better - in its league Im leading )

 

[Lazarus]

So you truly are the rock and foundation of our League. An Honourable role.

 

[Analoguesat]

Ah well - the only way is up!

Chinese GP league qualifying report.

Rick ran away with qualifying this time around scoring a superb 27 points. Tivu, wobbles, norm, sonnetpete scored 23 points and tivu & norms second teams rounded out the players with more than 20 points

As usual Im puttering around at the back with my cars in 21st & 22nd


On the track Nico Rosberg scored a career first pole, and will have team mate Schuey next to him on the grid after Lewis's 5 place penalty for the gearbox change. Vettel failed to make it out of Q2, and after a good performance in Malaysia Verne will be disappointed to have not made it out of the first session.

 

[woborny]

Without spoiling the results, what a great race...!!!
Action all over the place right until the end...
and a deserved winner!

 

[Topper]

Congratulations to Nico Rosberg on his first pole position that he converted into his first F1 victory and also the first Mercedes victory since 1955

 

[sonnetpete]

Really, really enjoyable race. Fantastic last 15 laps.

 

[Lazarus]

And a prime example of the tyre cliff effect with one of my numero uno Drivers today.

Quelle fromage.

But the racing was fantabulastic.

 

[Analoguesat]

Superb - Schumacher knocked out in Q1 - by Kovy in the Caterham

 

[Lazarus]

I was about to Post ditto!

Trulli hilarious

 

[Analoguesat]

Thats made my day

 

[Lazarus]

The RTL crew seemed to find it highly amusing when Massa was (oh so briefly) faster than Alonso.

Poor Felipe - now reduced to little more than a laughing stock.

 

[Topper]

Philipe should have retired after the spring in his face incident whilst he still had some credibility. because he has never been able to bounce back from that incident!...................., I'll get my coat :-tree
