Jens... your Underfrog team needs to go sit next to the other big-headed team - The Fighting Jabronie's Mafia....
:D
Henners - you can change your team if you want since it is exact to mine.
Yes, I do! It will be terrible scoring the same points as me every race, you know it! And even though this is the winning team that we have picked, I'd very much rather come last than share the glory victory!
Raikkonen - 10
Sainz - 7
Chassis - Mclaren - 12
Engine - Mercedes - 18
Jean-Eric Vergne - 1
Spa
Everybody loves that discount Raikkonen in aisle 5!
FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT
The Ford Focus F1 Team would like to announce we will be making an announcement on an entry into the 2015 FGP series - and just when everyone thought we were dead and buried! Nope, no-one is getting their hands on our prize money from last year.
Rumours are that team boss rjbetty, who has kinda deserted the team but seems to be out there somewhere, wants to defy all logic by again continuing with a McLaren line-up, despite the fact they single handedly ruined the teams first 2 seasons in the sport!
"We feel we need to do something different in order to have a chance to get ahead in the game. No-one is choosing McLaren. No-one is choosing Red Bull either, but they're too expensive, and it seems the boss thinks they will slip back slightly this year".
If we keep choosing McLaren every year, one day we have to hit the jackpot.
Stay tuned for an official announcement.
so, in other words, you're planning to plan?
Due to current financial turmoil, the Mt. Damavand F1 team is struggling to find a title sponsor.
Despite being the reigning champion, it seems few brand want to associate with us now that our name was tarnished when we received NSA's money last year.
NSA meanwhile has expressed no desire to continue this successful relationship, as they proclaimed that they now have access to everyone's data across the board and do not need to engage in any PR spin anymore.
Interested parties who can fund at least AUD $20 to become the title sponsor of the reginging champions are encouraged to PM the team owner urgently!
Wow you are really living on the edge! :rolleyes:Quote:

Underdog Jens GP Racing agrees with the claim.
"We indeed are living on the edge and our team choice follows the "all or nothing" principle. However, this is our only chance if we want to win. Last year we were fifth. But just being a frontrunner is not good enough for us any more. To take the next step you need big risks," claims returning team principal Jens.
Jens may not have shocked with words, but the team aims to shock with results this season. Whether in a good or bad way, remains to be seen!
"Whatever happens, at least the season is going to be exciting for us, that's for sure. We would not be unhappy to finish 10th or below as long as we put up a good show and fight. Spirit is the keyword!" says Jens.
Underdog Jens GP Racing is unsure whether comparisons to The Fighting Anglo Mafia team might actually be a compliment or not. But Jens shakes off all rumours that the two teams might be (illegally) co-operating.
"They are a good and strong competitor to us, and that's how we take them. Media has portrayed both of us as big-headed teams already, which could be a stretch, but never mind - one thing is sure, we do not lack ambition!" claims TP Jens confidently to interviewer.

Well I had some good results last year, so I'm going to tweak as little as possible.
I can't afford Bottas anymore, so I'll have to rely completely on my machinery - not expecting anything from my drivers. Hopefully a new team name can help move me up a place in the standings.

It can be announced that Aki's Racing Team is splitting with last season's sponsor Hedgehog Gutter Brush. The sponsor is in financial trouble and may end up in its own gutter.
Therefore it can also be announced that for the 2015 FGP season the new title sponser will be Twix
Making the official team name Twix's Aki's Racing Team or TART for short :p
The teams line up will be announced tomorrow as originally Stated.
FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT
We announce today that we intend to make our announcement soon on a team for the 2015 FGP season.
Delays are caused by trying to scrape the money together, and this time waiting to see what TART and others come up with.
It appears there is much not in the way of sensible choices this year, so most of the teams are looking very similar. This should at least ensure a very close title fight, which we hope to be in the thick of this time.
We are seriously considering finally wising up and dumping McLaren, who ruined our first 2 seasons in the sport. But you just know if we do, they will come good by the Spanish GP and be the 2nd best team from then on, at good value. :mad:
As for drivers, we are thinking of possibly letting go of Kevin Magnussen, especially now he won't be actually in F1 (much) this year. We took heed of the saying "fortune favours the brave", but we've never got anything for our bravery except rubbish results and mediocrity. After much agonising, we decided against signing Daniel Ricciardo for just £1M more - and wouldn't you know it, he turned out to be the find of the season. :mad:
At least we didn't make the biggest facepalm of all - that went to certain others who thought it would be a good move to dump Valtteri Bottas, who we had the foresight to hire, for Maldonado! (I kinda feel bad for not saying something about that at the time).
We are in a race with the real Manor team to see who can announce their line-up last, since we have learned from last year and resisted announcing our team early before testing.
Watch this space...
This is the official Launch of the Line Up for Twix's Aki's Racing Team
The team has found a new title sponsor for the 2015 FGP season and due to contract deputes will be dispensing with both its drivers from last season. Ricciardo led the team brilliantly in 2014, but increased wage demands have meant that TART will have to let him go. Maldonado will also leave the team after a disastrous 2014.
After discussions for the last 3 months with several drivers, TART can announce their lead driver as Kimi Raikkonen. After a 2014 of lows the ice cream demands are at a decent level and TART have invested in the former World Champion.
Joining him in car 2 this season is youngster Marcus Ericcson. Having been average in a snail paced Caterham last season, TART believe he can step up and score a few points in 2015.
While the easy answer is to go for all Merecedes chassis and engine line ups, TART are going for a gamble. Maybe the team may end up down the field, but hope this brave decision will pay off.
The chassis will this season be designed by Ferrari, while the team keep the Mercedes engine.
Gutierrez will join as the 3rd driver unless he gets a drive in Manor 2.
The line up is similar to Henners F1 Racing, but will differentiate by having Spa as their bonus round.
team boss Steveaki13 said: "We are happy enough with our 2015 line up. We had hoped to employ Mercedes chassis & engine plus Hamilton and Rosberg but at 96 million it was slightly over our price range. However Kimi is going to show everyone this season he hasn't lost his ice, while Marcus will finally make a splash. The engine is mighty again for 2015 and our new Ferrari chassis is a gamble based on testing times. He who dares wins."
