Congratulations on another winning season carnut. Won't be long before one of the top teams comes knocking on your door with an attractive proposal. Williams could do with sage advice.

They might pay a bit more!!

They shot themselves in the foot a few times this year. You would be a good stable influence. I understand that Lewis might be tempted to try life at Maranello in 2021, IMHO a poisoned chalice.

It seems all the best drivers see a stint at Ferrari as essential.
For some it works out well, for others not quite so well...

Did all the regulars register for the Fantasy GP this year?
Hopefully it will get going sooner or later...

The Badger site says it's waiting for the Manager to activate the AutoPuzzles league.
Otto?  Is this something you can do?

It doesn't look we will have an AutoPuzzles league with Badger GP this year then.
Am I really the only one interested?!

Count me in.

Maybe we could create another league if the original one is dead ?

I've tried contacting Otto by PM and email ut can't get a response. Hope he's OK.

I'll have a look at it and see if I can set up another league or take over as manager of the one we've got.

More like a Comedy of Errors..
Why did Rd Bull bring Verstappen in for a tyre change so close to the end? According to the commentator in the pits there was nothing wrong with his old ones..
Then since they had, why didn't Mercedes bring Hamilton in for new tyres? Red Bull had gifted them the opportunity to do it without losing first place, but they failed to take it and it very nearly cost them everything.
In view of what happened to Hamilton, Verstappen would actually have won if his team hadn't brought him in to change tyres...

From my own Fantasy League point of view, I was in line for a shedload of points right up to lap 50! For the first time ever I had predicted the podium correctly, which is 15 extra points. Then disaster struck with Bottas, which cost me a massive 48 points, less about 6 or 7 due to all those behind Hamilton moving up a place.
I should have known it was too good to be true!

Results in my next post...

Not the first time in history this sort of thing has happened. I think Nelson Piquet lost a championship once when he was called in for a precautionary change and then there was the infamous US GP at Indy when only 6 cars started. If only they made tyres of rubber instead of all these weird compunds which clearly can't be trusted ! Poor show by Pirelli. (I actually thought the tyres had been damaged by wreckage from Raikkonen's front wing but there were so many victims I must be wrong).

It's strange - you would think no-one did.
Yet the winner on Fantasy GP got 219 points, a total I've never got anywhere near.
What on earth are his teams?  If he got a lot of points today how does he ever get any points in a 'normal' race?
Normally I come in the top 100 or 150 in the world rankings but today I came 8275th!
So the guys who did well today must have teams that don't include Mercedes for instance, so how do they do in other races?
It's a mystery to me.
