FGP 2011 - Results Thread

[N. Jones]

Welcome to FGP for 2011!

For those returning the rules and budget are the same as last year. For those who are new I will give a brief rundown of how FGP works. Please visit this website for more information: http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/

Each team owner has a budget of 48,000,000 in which to build a team.
Each team consists of the following:
Two race drivers
One reserve driver
one chassis (for ex: Team Lotus)
one engine
one bonus GP

This is a sample FGP team that fits in the 48 million range:

CucamongaF1
Vettel, Glock
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull/STR reserve driver)
HRT
Cosworth
Bahrain

Once an owner has assembled her or his team it must be posted in this thread for it to be 'official'.
All teams must be unique. This is an example of a unique team:

Team Jaguar-Ford
Vettel, Glock
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull/STR reserve driver)
HRT
Cosworth
Japan
Everything is the same but the bonus GP, therefore it is a legal team.
Lastly, I cannot stress this enough:
Each team's third driver is someone who is NOT on the price list at: http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/home/price-list.

If you wish to enter a team please travel to this website:
http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/
find a team that fits the budget limits and then return here to enter it.

Robert Kubica will be left in the price list, even if there is a slim chance he races this season. Once Renault announce his replacement I will add him to the price list.

The deadline for entering teams is March 10.

Thank You very much for reading this and good luck to all who enter!

OK - first time of doing this then;

Wilko's Wacky Racers

Kobayashi 11m
Kovalianen 5m
Hulkenberg
Ferrari 18m
Mercedes 12m
Monaco

Total Spend 46m

[N. Jones]

OK - first time of doing this then;

Kobayashi,Kovalianen
Senna (reserve) and if Renault pick him, will choose Hulkenberg as my reserve reserve! ;)
Ferrari
Mercedes
Monaco

I would recommended against this as I do not have a definite price for Senna or Heidfeld yet.
If you keep your team as is just remember that you will be forced to change it once Lotus Renault makes their decision. :)

Oh, don't forget a team name! :D

Correct, Heidfeld will have to be switched out if he becomes Kubica's replacement.

[N. Jones]

Early Reminder:

You're 3rd driver cost 1 million, so make sure you add that to your total!!!

[N. Jones]

Team Southern Kit Cars

Petrov - 10
Di-Resta - 6
Heidfield
McLaren - 20
Mercedes - 12
Bonus - GB

skc, your 1,000,000 over the budget:

Petrov - 10
Di Resta - 6
heidfeld - 1
McLaren - 20
Mercedes - 12

49 million. You need to shed one million to be on budget.

[Shifter]

What's your inclination on RK's replacement driver cost? Will it be the same price as Kubica no matter who is in the seat, or will you adjust that price accordingly?

Oh, and thanks for running this again!

[Retro Formula 1]

skc, your 1,000,000 over the budget:

Petrov - 10

49 million. You need to shed one million to be on budget.

My McLaren Chassis is currently suing Ferrari for the other Million. Can we just wait a few weeks?

If not, just swap Paul for Kovy till the money comes in.

[N. Jones]

REMINDER:

ALL 3rd drivers cost 1,000,000 and they must be added to your budget!

skc - you are one million over the budget AND you might have to change your team if Lotus Renault chooses Heidfeld to replace Kubica:
Team Southern Kit Cars

Petrov - 10
Di-Resta - 6
Heidfield - 1
McLaren - 20

Thanks again N.Jones for your fantastic efforts to make this competition such a success.

Mine adjusted slightly to corrospond with the £1m for a reserve rule, not that changing anything else is needed.

[N. Jones]

What's your inclination on RK's replacement driver cost? Will it be the same price as Kubica no matter who is in the seat, or will you adjust that price accordingly?

Oh, and thanks for running this again!

Heidfeld or Senna will have their own price, which is based on where they finished last season, give or take what car they will be in.

[N. Jones]

My McLaren Chassis is currently suing Ferrari for the other Million. Can we just wait a few weeks?

If not, just swap Paul for Kovy till the money comes in.

Please change your third driver.

Everyone - Please stop choosing Senna or Heidfeld as your third driver as I do not want to change a large amount of teams before the deadline. Renault is testing this weekend and I believe they will make their decision soon.

Thank You.

Hi Nick

What if NH doesn't become driver. Can I change back?

Also, if he does become driver, can I change my second driver to him and go with the Hulk for 3rd..

Thanks

[N. Jones]

Good point. Here are two scenarios, please choose one:

1) Change your team now.
2) Wait until Renault choose their replace, then change your team.

I ask this only because confusion will become my friend if the majority chooses Heidfeld or Senna and then decides to make changes to their team.
The one year I allowed changes so many people "took me up on my offer" that I went loony trying to keep up!
The more sane and simple FGP is the better. :)

Everyone will follow suit. Nick is way too cheap. :(

[maxter]

Kinda have to agree, I was expecting to pay about as much for Nick as Koba, maybe a little more. Nick has far more experience and performed similar results last year when they were in the same team. Now he's in a supposedly better car and probably has more input regarding its development. So, yeah...

[N. Jones]

Nick has two things going against him:

1) He is priced where he finished last year.
2) He hasn't won a damn thing in his career and I don't see that changing this year.

The rules state once all teams are set there are no changes. https://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/home/the-rules:

[N. Jones]

Thanks.

Not trying to be harsh, I just want people to think it over and enter their team, not change it everytime something happens that garners huge media attention.

Thanks.

I didn’t think you were. I was just trying to return your graciousness. :p

[Shifter]

Isn't it sort of dangerous to select Heidfeld? If Kubica comes back late in the season and Heidfeld is out the teams with him are down to 1 driver, right?

Basically, selecting Heidfeld is a bet that Kubica won't be back this year, or is that why Heidfeld is a steal at 7m? I've got my team in and it wont matter to me, but I'm asking on behalf of the community.

Thanks again N.Jones. I know things have been kind of crazy because of the Kubica injury.

I would imagine that if Kubica were to be back mid season he would replace the driver with the least points (which would be Petrov) and help Renault in the constructors championship.

[Shifter]

Didn't think of that. Now everybody with Petrov is going to be scared! Really though, I could only imagine Kubica stepping into one of the cars in Abu Dhabi for the last 2 races to knock the rust off going into next year.

Yes. There is a chance that Kubica might return, that is why he is still available. Heidfeld is rated at 7m for the reasons I stated above.
I don't want to bore people by stating them again! :D

[Rollo]

I would hope that because the engines were bought in good faith by the FGP runners, that the Renault and Inifniti results would both count.

Or rather not called Infiniti...

We were all fooled there, and it's not even April 1st yet.

[N. Jones]

Right.

Now that Renault is out of the manufacture business AND is winning races with Red Bull, they are getting great advertising without putting up a lot of money.
I think they will be happy just being an engine supplier.

[call_me_andrew]

I would like a clarification of the rules. If a reserve driver is qualified for a race, and one of the teams' main drivers did not meet the 107% rule, does that allow for activation of the reserve driver?

[N. Jones]

Wow.

I hadn't thought about that.
Give me some time (i.e., until Monday) to think it over.

[truefan72]

hmm

how did Klien Racing by Alcatraz get to have the exact same team I did ( with exception of the third driver)
I posted mine before he did so how was that not caught

this is crazy, we will essentially have the same points all season long and although the bonus GP is different it will even out after brazil
so...esentially the same team

Ah... you know better by now. Teams are unique so long as at least one component is different, including the bonus go. Always has been this way.

[N. Jones]

A Clarification:

"If a reserve driver is qualified for a race, and one of the teams' main drivers did not meet the 107% rule, does that allow for activation of the reserve driver?"

I will allow this. If your third driver qualifies for a race AND one of your race drivers falls outside of the 107% rule you will receive any points your third driver scores.

Thanks Andrew for bringing this to my attention. I will add it to the rules section of the site.

[aryan]

So, finally, I win a GP in my fourth year of participating in FGP!

Congratulations to Mt. Damavand F1 Racing!

Yes, I've cheated cause it was my bonus GP, but these days there is no way to win a GP other than having it as your bonus.

This will probably be the only highlight of the season for me. I After much deliberation between a Mercedes engine or a Ferrari one, I went with Ferrari based on testing and against my own heart. How was I to know that McLaren will suddenly find a second in two weeks without testing?

Unless my drivers, Heidfeld and Aguersuari really pick up their game, I'm going to finish lower than 20th, for certain!

I think this must be the most depressing victory/podium speech I've ever heard. :p

Imagine if Vettel said something similar in the postrace interview yesterday:

"Yes, I cheated.... ....this will probably be the only highlight of the season for me." :p

[N. Jones]

LOL.

My curse has struck again - BOTH Mercedes GP drivers left the race too early!

Argh!!

[gloomyDAY]

I wish my drivers hadn't been disqualified. I would have nailed Australia with a bag load of points.

[N. Jones]

Yeah, that was harsh, but rules is rules.

[52Paddy]

A good showing from Kobayashi but not strong enough for a first driver. I really thought Lotus were on to something this year - hopefully Kovalainen will move closer to the points as the year develops. Mercedes engines did well enough thanks to Button but I expected Ferrari could make more of their race and also land a podium.

[N. Jones]

Results to be up soon.

Regardless of them, Mercedes GP can bite me! I should have gone with Kobayashi-Perez-Sauber 3rd-McLaren-Mercedes-some bonus.

Stupid Michael, c'mon, fool!! :D :D :D

6th place in the GP for Mt Damavand F1, and still the overall leader. I have to say, I wasn't expecting to lead for 2 GPs :-)

Still, I will need Heidfeld to be on podium every GP to compensate for my Ferrari engine. How I wish I'd gone for Mercedes now... or Renault...

[airshifter]

5th in China, 11th overall, and 4 of those 11 have already used up their bonus GP. NOT LOSING! :D

I should have waited for Renault to announce. Heidfeld is a steal of a price, and sadly for me most of the teams leading me snatched him up. All I can do now is hope Kobayashi raises his game, as all my money went into chassis and engine.

A respectable (equal) 6th for Team Mt. Damavand F1 in this GP, but I fall off top, down to second place now. Will be a big struggle to finish on the podium at the end of the season, me thinks.

I wish I had chosen Buemi as opposed to Alguersuari now. They were the same price, and Alguersuari was better in the second half of last season so I thought his form will continue to this season, but Buemi seems to be the better driver in Torro Rosso now.

Wow, I made some terrible choices this year -- Like going with Schumacher (I felt that Merc GP would be better, I figured the old hound would get some decent points).

A 100 point race for me. I'll have to admit, I was glad that Mark did finally got by Kobayashi, but right after he did I thought about the points I lost by Kobay losing the position! :laugh:

1st at Monaco, 4th overall.

Time for me to plummet to mid field as the year continues. Maye I should drink some sake and/or Japanese beer and hope that somehow Kobayashi keeps outperforming Nick. But I doubt it would help.

Sake is too much. Get yourself some Sapporo, now that's a fine Japanese beer!

Oh, I know that very well.

I chose McLaren in 2007 and the got banned from the WDC.
I then selected someone who's name escapes me in 2008 and didn't do too badly (I know I had Felipe this year, so it was my best year :) .
In 2009 I chose BMW and the stunk so bad they left at the end of the season.
Last year I chose Red Bull and did well but my Force India drivers let me down badly.
This season I chose Chewbacca and his merry men of mercedes GP, who somehow sucked all of the talent out of Ross Brawn.

Next year, F it, I am choosing McLaren-Mercedes and any two decent drivers that will fit within budget!

[N. Jones]

14th overall is ok in my books. Lots of teams seem to have used their bonus GP's already but I can't be arsed to trowel through all the results thus far to find out.

[N. Jones]

Nice. TrueSpeed has Canada as the bonus, so the team could move up fast if all goes well.

Here are GP's that no one chose as a bonus:

China
Europe
Bahrain for obvious reasons

GP's with only one fan:
Malaysia & South Korea

[Koz]

I have a feeling at the end of it all, it will come down to Rocky Road, Stasio i Jasio GP and Team Kobayashi Maru.

[aryan]

Oh well... My team, Mt Damavand, is now totally our of it. I've dropped to 6th, and really will be lucky to finish in top 10.

What was I thinking, choosing Alguersuari over Kobayashi? Damn!

PS: Nice N.Jones, as always :-)

[N. Jones]

Tell me about it. I thought over the Koba too, but decided to go with a senior citizen instead.

:( *Sigh* Another failed year. Well, at least the actual races have been exciting...

[airshifter]

Kobayashi was my first thought, since I spent most money on chassis/engine. My team might have ended up different if I had waited for the Heidfeld announcement, but on well.....

On a second note, the yacht full of Monaco women arrived as promised. I knew that being a Monaco winner had perks but I still thought everyone was kidding on this one! :laugh:




Back to a serious question... does anyone remember what happened to the trophy made for the original forum FGP? It was made by a member and as I recall the original idea was for the trophy to be shipped to the following years FGP winner. I wish I could remember who made it. And yes on this I am dead serious, someone has to remember seeing the photos on the forum.

[N. Jones]

I'm sorry this took so long! The results will be up soon!

No clue on the trophy. You'd have to ask ArrowsFA1.
I suppose we could always get another one.

25th is probably my best finish so far :mark:

[N. Jones]

Can you believe it? I was going to upload the overall standings and my computer crashed! Hopefully I can get it fixed soon.

[Shifter]

Wow, a midfield finish lol! Thanks for finding the fire, Schumacher!

Tell me about it, I finished tied for 6th!

[airshifter]

I'm only two points out of the overall lead after Canada! :)

Stasio i Jasio GP (owner ojciec dyrektor) is still in very strong standings in 5th place overall with 351 points, and he has not yet used his bonus GP. They next closest team to have not used their bonus GP is 27 points behind him. He is also ahead of 23 teams that have already used their bonus GP.

I think this is by far the highest I've been in the overall standings, but I think Stasio i Jasio GP is sitting in very good position here, especially if his bonus GP (Brazil) works out good for him.

[aryan]

Dismal showing for me, down to 33rd, my worst GP this year!

Down to 7th on the Championship standings... I'll be very lucky to finish in top 10 this year. Thanks Alguersuari...

Now maybe Force India will come to its senses and dump Sutil and give the Hulk a drive, I might get a few "bonus" points.

[airshifter]

I just realized that Kobayashi beat Alonso last year at Valencia. What's the chances that happens again and I get a boost in points? :laugh:

[N. Jones]

hahah, not much. Alonso currently 3rd, Kobayashi is 14th I think.

[N. Jones]

Valencia results coming soon !

[ojciec dyrektor]

My second win this year. :)
Thank You Adrian, thank You Christian. :)

[Shifter]

Interesting...I've never finished in the bottom three before. :(

[N. Jones]

Join the club!

This is the last time I pick an old man.

This is the last time I think too much about trying to have a balanced team. A sacrifice need be made in order to have one top level chassis and a decently strong engine, or vice-versa...a bit like the real world F1.

[airshifter]

My second win this year. :)
Thank You Adrian, thank You Christian. :)

I predicted a few posts back that you are sitting in really good shape if you have a good bonus GP.

For now I'm only three points out of the lead, so I know it won't last long. :laugh:

I am choosing McLaren/Mercedes and which ever two drivers will fit in budget. I'm tired of trying to do well without McLaren or Ferrari.

Blast!

Should just go for RBR and Renault Engine and get the cheapest drivers.

Stasio i Jasio GP has pretty much caught all of us, top 3 being RBR + Merc engine, and he's the only one in the top 10 who hasn't had his bonus GP yet.

[ojciec dyrektor]

I've chosen Brazilian GP on purpose. It's last GP and all competitors will use their bonus till that time.
It's funny but I'm not cheer on RBR or Vettel. But thanks to them my chances for top 5 are very strong.

After British GP we'll see how much diffuser ban will hurt my team.

Problem is the constructors champs are too expensive:
Red Bull - 22
Renault - 15
That's 37, leaving you with 11 for 2 drivers and a reserve driver. You can't push into the top 15 if your two drivers are utter rubbish.

thise standings don't seem right as there are pepole with high scores out of position

[N. Jones]

Ok. I'll check it out

[N. Jones]

AHHHHH! Somehow my formula for the overall rankings went haywire!

Thanks for the catch Robinho, I'll fix it now.

[N. Jones]

Sorry for the overall standings mix up. I forgot to modify my formula for the overall standings.

Here are the correct standings:

Am I doing this wrong... when I double check mephrace's points for the race I get 25 for his Ferrari Engine, 18 for his Red Bull Chassis. 4 for Heidfeld and 1 for Algeursuari = 48 X 2 (bonus GP) = 96

[N. Jones]

Yeah, it is wrong. Looks like the formula is tripling the score. I'm checking it now.

[ojciec dyrektor]

It doesn't look so bad now. :)
14 points behind the leader is much better than 51. :)

[N. Jones]

All that work... why didn't I sneak another 200 points to my team and make it look respectable?!

:)
