I'd like to thank Mr Whitmarsh for encouraging me to use my one transfer to get JB out and Mr Hamilton in.

Plus I have 3 mill in the bank now, but am stuck with Williams engine...

My Caterham Renault engine probably won't be doing me any favors.

My Caterham Renault engine probably won't be doing me any favors.

Yeah but that probably means you have a skinny blonde German in your team...

[mx_tifoso]

Maybe....

And by the looks of it I think one of my bets just might pull through (three specific drivers on the podium).

[garygph]

done..garygph.. what happened to Williams and McLaren today!!?? Caught me out properly

[Redragon]

When the league update the results?

[hollus]

Now!
The results are in.

I did better than I expected for the first race.

[garygph]

Well that added some fun to the race! Bit curious now about how they decide for the betting side of things what qualifies as rain? I do not think the cameras were getting covered by other drivers sweat , albeit very light rain it was rain. Of course it is obvious that I bet there would be some rain so I am biased But I think for the future it would be better if they made it clear as to when they classify rain as rain..sounds silly but maybe they need to specify that it will only happen if the teams put on the inters or wets but if they can all cope with slicks then it is not. What thoughts?

[Miguel]

I don't know what happened with the system, but I'm really disappointed. I made my team and joined the F1T league. What was my surprise when I found out I had no team, no nothing. Oh well, another year.

[mx_tifoso]

Miguel, maybe you didn't save your team? I did that same thing a few times until I finally saw the save button. Pero haz el equipo ahora para poder participar en Malasia!

[Gridlock]

It's free, but it is a bit... wobbly. The "rain" and "new driver" bets are both ambiguous and should arguably have been paid, the count of overtakes can be a bit hit and miss, etc. But it's free

Thank you very much Kimi, Seb and Fernando though... 16/1

This week's change: Sauber out, FI in - The Other Nico better not make me regret this...

[Gridlock]

Inspired by certain current F1 teams, I have launched a second team named 'griglia di blocco' which is like, totally separate and independent of Gridlock and definitely won't pull over to let me past or run strategies designed to confound Gridlock's rivals

(I wanted to try a different strategy so registered another team, will pull it out of F1T subleague if anyone complains )

griglia di blocco team radio: "OK so... Gridlock is faster than you, can you confirm you understood that message?"
