FGP 2011 - Results Thread

[N. Jones]

Looking over the rankings, I remember a lot of people saying that the Lotus Renault group were too cheap given how strong they are.
I don't see those teams high up in the standings.

thx N. Jones!

[N. Jones]

You're welcome!

I just need to get through this dreadful season so I can start planning next year's team. Choosing Michael and Merc GP was a bad idea! :)

[Robinho]

still hanging on at the top at halfway, but i really need heidfield and Perez to post a few points finishes, I can't rely on Red Bull and Merc engines forever

[Sonic]

God damn Buemi. Shunts himself AND Nick out!!! Now I know how Horner felt. Both my drivers out, and the bull didn't even win to boost my score. :(

[52Paddy]

Equal 8th is my best FGP result so far :D Good work Alonso!

Still down in 34th overall though :mark:

[52Paddy]

That was quick! Up to 32nd after a 'better than usual' finishing position of 14th :) If Alonso can keep chipping away, I hope to move gradually up the ladder in the closing stages of the season.

[N. Jones]

Now that the calculations are automated and I finally have a laptop to watch timing and scoring during the race; I can get these up much faster than before.

I wish my team would move up the ranking!

[Robinho]

Hanging on in there!!!

[N. Jones]

Yeah, but you have to watch out for Stasio i Jasio GP as they are in the top ten without using their bonus.

This year is the exact opposite of last year.

Last year in order to stay in the top ten a team needed a good driver AND a good-to-great chassis/engine package.
This year all of the top ten teams have a great chassis/engine and decent drivers (you, Robinho, have Heidfeld and Glock. Not exactly race winners there).
Although Heidfeld has put up points. But still, I was thinking of someone like Rosberg or ...

OH! I see now why chass/eng only are in the top ten - the really good drivers, from Rosberg up cost 21-34, so there is no way to have a Red Bull/Renault or Red Bull/Mercedes or McLaren/Renault or McLaren/Mercedes with the very good drivers.
Kubica is out or else his price of 19 might have been a good number (and Lotus Renault would have been a much better team) to pair with a top chassis/engine.

As I have learned, to my cost, Michael is struggling in mid-field. Barrichello is sinking with Williams, and Force India have never capitalized on the great races they had in Belgium and Italy in '09.
After Sutil, even if Kobayashi is good, are drivers that are too inconsistent to be counted on race to race.

So that explains why the notion of good-to-great driver plus good-to-great chas/eng = win, which is usually true, is not the case this season.

[Robinho]

yeah, I went against my previous years and concentrated on RBR and Merc engines and just tried to fit some drivers in (think mine are heidfield and Perez actually) both of which should have scored more points than they have. As it is I outscored Stasio this week, If i continue to up the gap (currently 31 points) gradually, or the bonus is when he scores the same as this week He'd only score 72 and would only outscore me by the 30 odd points difference at the moment. It looks like it is going to stay pretty close and i think most of the guys at the top have very similar combinations.

[Robinho]

yeah its stasio that has Heidfield and Glock, his big points come from RBR and Renault, since RBR have been caught by Mclaren and Ferrari the tactic of putting all the eggs in the RBR and Renault package is proving costly, whilst my combination of RBR and Merc means decent points in all races rather than really big is some races.

[N. Jones]

Ah, okay. I goofed the drivers up, sorry.

It is going to be very close at the top. I guess it just might come down to the drivers!

[Robinho]

i think it will come down to who finishes the year best of RBR, Ferrari and McLaren, but the odd few driver points could be the separator if it stays really close

[ojciec dyrektor]

I'm really disappointed in Heidfeld and Lotus this season. After Hungarian GP Renault had 106 pts last year. If they were as good as last year with Kubica I would be first in the standings. So now I have to count on RBR and new updates.

[airshifter]

I'm really disappointed in Heidfeld and Lotus this season. After Hungarian GP Renault had 106 pts last year. If they were as good as last year with Kubica I would be first in the standings. So now I have to count on RBR and new updates.

I agree. Had I waited for Heidfeld to announce I probably would have picked him as well.

But you're still in really good shape. With a decent bonus GP you should at least move up to a strong second place in the overall, if not in first. That's when my secret weapon Kobayashi is going to hunt down your team and reel you in race by race until I emerge victorious.

Oh but wait... reality says that my team always sucks towards the end of the season. Never mind the above and good luck! :)

[ojciec dyrektor]

I was very high in the standings in the middle of the season last year. But at the end I was 23th overall. :/
This year I hope for first five. Good luck!

[N. Jones]

I was in the top five three years ago, does that count?

[airshifter]

The couple of seasons I picked teams in the past, I've sucked right from the start, dropping down to 10th or worst right away and moving down the field as the season progressed. So I have no bragging rights at all from past seasons.

[N. Jones]

I'm usually in the second half of the table. The year Massa nearly won the title is when I had my best season. Finished in the top 20.

[N. Jones]

Sorry all, I was out all day. The results for the Belgian GP will be up tomorrow.

Only 24 points behind the leader Rocky Road. It looks good.
I hope Ayrton jr. will bring me some points... :)

[52Paddy]

A static 32nd position for me. My drivers are letting me down even though they are doing well in their own racing context. I expect Kobayashi to have another decent showing or two before the season is out but I suppose the best I can hope from Kovalainen is an optimistic point if anything at all.

[N. Jones]

Everything is letting me down. Next year its McLaren-Mercedes and whomever I can fit in! :)

[airshifter]

Only 24 points behind the leader Rocky Road. It looks good.
I hope Ayrton jr. will bring me some points... :)

And the only team in the top 20 that hasn't used your bonus GP. I would say things are looking really good for you.

[N. Jones]

No kidding. I think the only thing that could stop the team is the gap to first growing or his bonus not giving as much points as normal.

Still 32nd. At least I haven't fallen down the order. A much better showing from Kovalainen this time out, albeit helped by the highish attrition rate.

[ojciec dyrektor]

After Italian GP, thanks to Adrian and Ayrtons jr. fantastic performance, Stasio i Jasio GP is only 17 points behind the leader Rocky Road.
It's time to say it loud. The target is to win the Championship title! :)

[N. Jones]

You've got the best chance, ojciec. This was a very good race for you!

It was a better race for me. I beat some of my rivals and am ahead of most of them overall.

It's looking like just time will separate Stasio and overall victory....

[ojciec dyrektor]

It's 5 GPs left. Anything can happen and RBR will not have to win after Japan...
It's nice to be 2nd but it's a long way home.

Yeah whatever. At this point you may as well be Sebastian Vettel. :laugh:

It looks like there is a good chance you are on top or within a point or two before your bonus GP is even used. And a few of us may have a fight for a position in the top 3 or 5, but we all know your season has been a very good one and we are probably just fighting for scraps!

[N. Jones]

My goal is to be in the middle of the pack. That is about 28th. I've got quite a ways to go....

At this point Robinho is a champion. So let's wait. :)

Rocky Road's 11 point lead over the only top-ten team yet to use its bonus, Stasio i Jasio GP, has now gone up to 25!

Coming down to the wire, it is going to be a great finish!! :)

[Robinho]

a couple more Mclaren wins and some Perez ans Senna points and I could yet sneak over the line

[airshifter]

a couple more Mclaren wins and some Perez ans Senna points and I could yet sneak over the line


Or Kobayashi could come alive and sweep past while Senna takes out both McLarens and I edge out to the top...

Who am I kidding? I'm a sitting duck when Stasio i Jasio GP gets his bonus race! :laugh:

A lot can happen in a few races, so good luck to everyone. If my form follow previous years I have entered I am due to plummet down the standings to mid field at best.

[N. Jones]

You never know. McLaren seems to be getting much better. If they start to lose more races you may yet keep your lead.

AND, the more McLaren win the more points I get with my Merc engine, allowing me to get to my target of 28th overall (which is where I finished last year).

So this scenario is win-win for us!

[52Paddy]

After a dreadful year, it's nice to have achieved a win (even if it is equal first). Now 26th overall, hopefully I can keep improving for the final few races.

Just curious... is there provisions for tie breakers? Not that I'd mind being in a tie for 3rd place, but not sure if the rules even went that in depth.

I'm sure it won't matter regardless. I've contacted several other teams and the stewards and one of us is going to protest Stasio I Jasios season while the others look for a reason for said protest. :laugh: Taking a lesson from Enzo Ferrari, we may petition to exlude the last race from the calendar, thus giving another team a chance to win!

[52Paddy]

29th. Reasonable. Still 26th overall.

I separate by GP wins, then by first to enter a team.

Two races in a row of 50 points each for Stasio I Jasio GP. It's hard to compete with results like that. IF Rocky Road manages to hold he lead until the last race I feel it will be a matter of just how bad Stasio beats the rest of us.

[ojciec dyrektor]

Thank You for your support! :)

I must say, 3rd win tastes even better. Yeah babe, Yeah!

[N. Jones]

I think I won two or three times last year....


....still didn't stop me from finishing mid-table. Just goes to show that this year the drivers cost too much, so the team with the best engine-chassis is winning.

Huge drop for Stasio. Will they bounce back at the unforgiving Interlagos??

Who will finish on the podium?
Who will finish in the top ten??

We will find out in two weeks!

[N. Jones]

Ojciec is still stunned that Vettel dropped out on turn two.

I think he is searching every legal book for a means to protest the result! :D

[Robinho]

huge race for me, need another in Brazil to limit the double for stasio

[ojciec dyrektor]

The worst GP for my team this year. But in the end it's only 10 more points to Robinho. It could be much worse.

I need to score 100 pts in Brasil. :)

[Robinho]

if i have a decent result and score around 50 then you need 75, which is obviously only 37 ish before a double score.

if we have a repeat of this week i scored 40 and you 30, which would you 60 and i would take it by a couple of points, but that requires a Vettel/red bull retirement.

i fear it won't be close and you'll pick up 80+ points in Brazil

[N. Jones]

I think you will be okay as Brazil has always been tough on those trying to win the title.

[airshifter]

With a boost into second I'm likely to at least get a close look at who will come out on top.

Now let me see... if Kobay WINS a race and.... (scratches head).... errrr... the RBs and Mercs all finish out of the points and... (head now bleeding)... ummmm...

Wait, can't I just protest and DQ the top points teams real quick? :laugh:

Either way, on to the last race, and I've made my bet several races back. I think we are all sitting ducks with Stasio waiting to pounce. But I guess none of us will know for sure until, as they say, the fat lady sings.

[N. Jones]

WOW! Once this got uncoupled from the top it fell fast!

I am sorry for the delay. I will get to the results very soon!

[ojciec dyrektor]

One thing I know for sure. Despite gearbox problems I've scored 100 pts. :)

[Robinho]

then I think I can safely concede to the better team and be happy to have lead for so long and to have taken 2nd (hopefully hung on to that)

The Yuji Ide award for the team that finishes last overall goes to Team Sandancer. :grenade:
Uh, job not so well done?

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for entering, playing, and/or commenting throughout the season! Your contributions mean everything to me. Without them FGP would be pretty lonely!

Enjoy the offseason!

A podium finish... by far my best FGP season.

As suspected we were sitting ducks for Stasio to overcome us at the final race with his bonus GP. But it was close... so close he only beat me by a real good non bonus GP worth of points! :laugh: Great job to the Stasio i Jasio team for once again pulling a Vettel and easily stomping the rest of us. :)

Same for Rocky Road. I clawed back a little towards the end but it was too little too late. Great picks.

Maybe we need weekly grid girl photos to bring more competition? :D

so close, but after a good year I end as nothing more than 1st loser. Well done to Stasio, well deserved, had the best team and hung on for the bonus GP very cleverly.

Thanks for running FGP again

[Shifter]

Thanks a bunch for running FGP. Despite Blue Ridge's worst season ever (47th), I kept checking in until the bitter end ;)

[aryan]

Poor year for Mt Damavand F1 with a 15th place finish. After finishing 11th last year, I really wanted a top 10 results this year.

Oh well, at least I won a GP (my bonus GP) so that was one ambition fulfilled.

Bring on 2012... can't wait for it.

Thanks N. Jones, as always. Great work.

[yodasarmpit]

Thanks N. Jones, as always. Great work.

Cheer N.Jones

[N. Jones]

Thanks everyone!

I wish for more entries too. What does everyone think of open enrollment, a' la pick'ems? Do you think if some people waited after the first race to submit a team they might gain an unfair advantage?

One thing I am going to do is tweak the prices so people can get a better balance of driver and end/chass. This season was lower scoring than last because all of the good drivers cost too much.

Lastly, and I know I shouldn't say this, I wish there were more people who commented after the race in this thread. We all have strong opinions about F1 and I hoped that this thread could be fun one, where controversy was avoided.

[airshifter]

I'm not sure about the open entries... the advantage of seeing cars and drivers on track might give advantage to the teams that waited and picked late. But then again if you tweak the rules and purchasing power that might not be such a big advantage. I still say forum grid girls would be the real draw. :)

As for the comments after the races, one of the reasons I enjoyed doing that this year was the lack of bickering and politics that exist on this thread vs the rest of the forum. People can have a good joke at their own expense, talk smack, etc all in fun and without the crap involved in the other threads. I hope it stays that way.

[N. Jones]

31st overall for me. POSF1 went backward after a 28th place finish last year.
McLaren-Mercedes better step up those results next year since they are contracted to us for 2012!

[N. Jones]

Really? I had stepped away from the other threads because I thought the bickering was terrible. If it has indeed changed then I'll have to step back in!

[52Paddy]

[ojciec dyrektor]

Thank You all. And thanks to N. Jones for emotions and fun.
It was fantastic season for me. Stasio i Jasio GP have been chasing Rocky Road all season long. And finally we did it.

Thanks to Robinho for a good strong fight. Good luck next year! :)

[N. Jones]

Read his post again ;)

Right. I misread it the first time.

I'll reiterate - I hope this thread in 2012 can be a safe haven from insanity!

[aryan]

This thread has been a safe and fun one, which is also why I probably comment on it more than any other thread.

I'm also not sure about open entries, it would be a huge advantage to see the cars in action. But I also recognise that one of the main issues we have in attracting teams each year is timing, i.e., we only accept entries before the season starts, which is when most people actually don't visit these forums. When the season starts and they come back for the occasional visit, there is no chance of them getting involved.

I don't know how to solve this though, but it's an issue.

Not a good championship for me but glad I had a win at Monza, even if it was a bonus GP.

Next year you could collect email adresses too to notify them when results are updated, might bring a bit more discussion to the thread.

Thanks very much for your work running it this year!

That's a good idea. I'll think it over.

It might be time to think outside the pitlane! :)

All of this after finishing in the top 15 in 2008. :(
