"Excuse me while I interrupt myself"

Practice Three (Red Button) - The great Murray Walker is a guest with Crofty, Ant and Ted.

He's not lost it!

 

[Lazarus]

Apparently Murray is "trending globally on Twitter".

Wish I understood popular culture!

So how many manged to get 1m Daniel Riccardo in as their 3rd driver since he has been confirmed as replacing Karthikeyan...

Shame fighting talk (Five Live) is not on the red button, they did this last wekeend from wimbledon....

 

[Lazarus]

Please, Sir. Me, Sir.

And I punted he'd beat Liuzzi in quali .............. good chance he will.

 

[Analoguesat]

From what I can see in the league master console 8 or 9 teams have put Ricciardo in.

Everyone should be doing this of course as is basically a bonus driver

From what I can see in the league master console 8 or 9 teams have put Ricciardo in.

and why not, it was there for the taking, bonus points without winning qualifying

 

[woborny]

Kudos to wobbles for scoring an impressive 25 points in qualifying, and is the highest qualifying points of anyone in our league so far this season.

Think I have bettered that this race also....29 points for Qualy...
would have been a few more (6 more...?) if Vettel / Fettle / Vetal erm Seb was in Pole...

 

[Analoguesat]

Yes just been looking at that woborny - a fantastic 29 points in qualifying. Well done

Norm can feel a little hard done by - he equalled your score last time around with 25 - but you raised the bar again

Clear and unmistakable Team Order form the Team that doesn't DO Team Orders, there!

Understandable, but massively hypocritical.

And one gets ones Horner points ...................... !!

 

[woborny]

Most teams have always said in the last few laps dont race or overtake team mates...McLaren, RB have pretty much always said and done that...Ferrari just say "team orders after lap 1"

 

[Lazarus]

Indeed so - but Red Bull in particular make a huge song and dance about being a Team that doesn't use Team Orders.

Except when they do.

Agreed. Very dissapointing not to see them dicing to the line. I guess Horner was thinking of constructors points but yes, very hypocritical. I was pleased to see Hamilton trying as hard as ever but relatively cleanly and a real shame for 'no nut on Button'.

I can imagine Ferrari raising a query with the stewards or the FIA after their censure following the 'Fernando is quicker than you' message. This will drag on for a while I'd guess.

 

[misterminibus]

they didnt say dont overtake, they just said maintain the gap as there are no team orders at rb

 

[Topper]

Mmmm hard luck on Jenson and also on me, I did not have a driver finish apart from Riciardo and he finished last!

 

[sonnetpete]

It's rumoured that Boris Johnson has been on the phone to Mark Webber already, offering him a job. Apparently London Underground need someone to record a new "mind the gap" announcement...

League update.

Norm extends his lead still further with a superb 116. Four other members break the magic 100 points during this race:

111 - Wobbles
106 - Dazdazdazzy
102 - Kleefarr
102 - Tivu

Oh - and well done to Norm for his current superb placing in the overall competition - a magnificent 29th.

 

[woborny]

WOW. I have shot up from 10th to 4th!
Wonder if I can get 30 points form the next quali session....??? (maybe not with the HRTs as 2 of my drivers!)
and congrats to norm....

 

[Topper]

Well done Norm, looks like you are back to full form after last years blip, I am quickly heading for my usual mediocre mid table position.

Better not speak too soon!

Interesting addition to the fantasy game next year:

KERS 2012

KERS will be a unique tactical feature for real PFF1 experts. You'll be able to charge KERS during a race or by investing money. So you'll be able to make up to 10 extra points in a race. Or you decide to recharge KERS during a race and loose up to 9 points of your race score, which you can reuse in the next ...
