Congrats to all those who were silly enough to go way out on a limb and take Ferrari. I think today was just a bit of an anomaly, but I agree with Rosberg that it's nice to have another team fighting up front.
N Jones - I think there are errors (at least one) in the scoring. "Team Name" has MercedesX2 and Ericsson just as I do, but only has 36 points in the overall standings. This can't be right.
Mercedes were second. 18 points for engine and team-engine would be 36 points.
Why did I change my team?!!!
I feel almost as bad as Alonso right now!
Yes, but it shows 36 points in the overall standings. Looks like the points for Australia are missing in the overall standings.Quote:

FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT
Round 3: Chinese GP
We bring an announcement regarding the recent Chinese GP. With Mercedes winning, Kimi coming 4th and Williams as 3rd best engine, these factors have conspired to place us... IN THIRD FOR OUR FIRST PODIUM EVER!! YAY!!!
However, there was controversy during the podium ceremony as it seemed we had to share the podium with 7 other people, including 6 on our step and no-one on the 2nd place step. We found it very difficult to bunch up with the others and try not to fall off the step during the entire ceremony. The officials had a problem trying to give 3rd place trophies to all of us as there was only one available, causing the 6 of us to fight over who got to take it. We have agreed that the trophy is to be cut up into 6 equal pieces, though we are delighted we get to take a piece of podium trophy back to proudly put on display at our team base.
Strangely, we have dropped a place in the overall standings to 13th but seem fairly well in the mix. We look slightly stronger than last year due to our copout policy of now making more 'mainstream' and conventional choices for our line-up this year i.e. no more pie-in-the-sky gambling on McLaren (who will probably make a big leap by Spain).
It doesn't look like we will beat Aki or Jens' teams though since those smartypants chose better than us again. :(
