Fantasy F1 - Belgitaly

[jab]

Note the engine penalty for de la Rosa at Spa costs Ferrari 10 points, and with Alonso and Massa teetering as well, those of us that bought Ferrari engines this year may lose a few more yet...

The standings will be with you in a mo as there's an issue with the spreadsheet

Still could go either way. Plenty of races which could throw up surprise results to come. Also note that the chasing pack is closing quickly on the front 2 in 3rd - before this update, Duke GPE was nearly 100 points behind them, but now it's within 50 of GOONS

Oh and my team's in the top 50 at last

N.B. Remember that those that have Chandhok scored points for Yamamoto here, and in the same vain, those that have de la Rosa and Chandhok will score points for Heidfeld and Klien this weekend

[Ralf's Girl]

I actually did quite well in Belgium. Then promptly returned to form at Monza.

[MikeManNZ]

Whereas I was the other way round, 14 points for Spa and 52 for Monza

[Teretonga]

I have bombed out badly
I used Brazilian drivers in Sauber Renaults and the penalty points are so disproportionate you cant make up a penalty on one driver in one race in five positive races....

Maybe next year.....

[Notso Swift]

Tantalisingly close to the podium despite a Zero in Spa (Thanks Nando), but in my heart of hearts I know that I will find a way to stuff it up and finish outside the top 10.

[Wrex]

Wow, still in the running

Thanks Jab
