wow! despite the recession some motorsport formulas just keep growing.....
Anyone notice that since there are bonus points for drivers but not teams places extra value on drivers? I would have exploited that when I noticed it but didn't feel like doing all that math again.
so glad I chose Button and Barrichello as my drivers!
LOL! I bet most people are.
Me, I'm happy I have BMW because one of two things are going to happen:
1) the FIA deems these diffusers illegal, thereby leveling the playing field.
2) They are deemed legal and everyone else starts using them. Teams catch up quickly in F1 and I cannot see Toyota, Brawn/Virgin, and Williams staying on top all season.
Sorry for the late post, my taping of the race was foiled and I only just finished watching it.

I am still working on a website for our little FGP. When I have something setup I will will announce it. (pino - if you could kindly sticky this and all subsequent ones I would greatly appreciate it!!!)
Now you all know what POS means. :) Three spots from last. *shakes head* I just hope this Brawn GP phenomenon doesn't last or it will be a long year for me!
I was really hoping that Vettel would fall off in the last part... but that Kubica would keep going, since I have the BMW chassis. As it is, it feels a bit disappointing for my double-race.
Well, I have a BMW/Ferrari car and the Brawn drivers.
Mixed fortunes for me, but it could be worse.
I'm sorry, but I don't think these points are tallied correctly. I had an engine finish 5th (4 points) and a driver finish 8th (1 point). I didn't earn any bonus points, and my chassis were out of the points. Since this was my bonus GP, I should have 10 points. Instead, I have 14. I don't usually complain about getting extra points for nothing. I kept my mouth shut about it last year. But I can't help but wonder how many other teams are getting more points than they should.
And I'd like to keep my 4 extra points as an honesty bonus.
It just so happens that i am sitting here with N. Jones discussing points. He will look into it this evening and update if needed.Quote:
