Fantasy Formula 1

Well done John S for today's win - great points score! Well done to Chris too on a great season's racing

Finally managed to get a 1-2-3 in the right order today, about time too!

Pondered binning Leclerc and going for Bottas after P3 yesterday but didn't have the nerve - pity, as a quick calc seems it would have given me another 40+ points. Ah well, there's always next season....

Finally, a huge vote of thanks to John P for yet again performing magnificently as our very own Race Director

Ordered my tickets for Spain and Austria 2020 yesterday taking advantage of a 15% Black Friday discount, so now looking forward to a few days at testing in Barcelona in February - snow permitting!

Pete

Thanks to John for all your hard work crunching the numbers.

John

Congrats Chris for taking top podium step of our league.

Congrats John S for best score today ( and whooping me )

Big thanks to John P for doing a good job as our race secretary.

see you all next season, off to work on my car & look for new manager

Congrats Chris McG for your impressive victory and well done those who grabbed a position promotion at the dying gasp of the season. Those who slipped a place, commiserations just the same.

P11 is not where I wanted to be, but next year I get to try again. Thanks to John for the dedicated running of this league, including points updates from a cruise boat in the Baltic - there is commitment! Hope you all have a great Christmas - I’m off!

Thank you all for your nice reactions, gents.

Glad for John S that he ended in a strong way after his slight Brazilian 'disaster'.

Many, many thanks to John P for taking care of us and being our very personal 'Bernie'...

If my 'Honorary British' citizenship is still valid, it will be a pleasure to be present for next season.

Now if you feel getting bored by waiting for Melbourne, you could always pay a visit to our Sabre Dog build thread. Gaston and I would be pleased to hear from you all.

Cheers

Chris

Chris - absolutely, the 'Honorary British' citizenship offer is still open.

In any case, I'm sure it's compulsory for the reigning champion to come back and defend his title!

I did have a quick look a little while ago at the Sabre Dog build thread and made a mental note to keep an eye on it - l must get back and see what progress has been made.

Thanks for all your best wishes - it's a pleasure running this for us all, and they do make it a bit easier these days. In the "old days" I could only get the race-by-race points by dropping each round's scores into an Excel spreadsheet to work out the differences!

Hopefully I'll see you all back here in March - and in other parts of the forum in the meantime.

Thanks for my 'virtual passport', John.

Regarding the "compulsory", I'm wondering about Young Rosberg in 2016 then??? ...

Cheers

Chris

Hi again,

Well, it has been a fast seasonal interruption.

Winter tests are already there next WE in Barcelona!

Hope to 'see' you all back for this new season.

Who's going to participate this year? Any newcomers?

Cheers

Chris

I will take up the challenge from the bottom as usual.

John

Great to have you back on board, John.

You can just start at the bottom as it is a good position to climb up...

Anyone else???

Cheers

Chris

I guess I can just be in it to make up the numbers again.

Kev

Great to have you back in the game, Kevin.

Cheers

Chris

Well obviously I'll be in!

Somebody's got to keep you lot under control...

And as Chris already said, new participants will be very welcome too.

... of course, John... we need you to keep us 'under control'.

Glad to have you back for the new season.

Cheers

Chris

You can't shake me off that easily - hoping for better this year

Getting the motorhome ready for the run over to Barcelona for the 2nd week of testing - I'll be looking for inside information.....

Pete

New Octopii on order!

Ade

Ade - good to hear it

Pete - if you're going to Barcelona for more 'inside information' I'll have to blow the dust off my video of my half-lap at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2018. (Not that it helped me much last year!)

Just over a month until Melbourne...

Count me in, c'mon the Red Bulls.

Youve got No wings & No chance.

Honda wing n a prayer.
