My, how our fortunes would be different if the lotus drivers could finish in the points, sigh :(

FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT
We issue a press release on the latest round of the 2015 FGP season; Round 5, the Spanish GP.
*Looks at results, does double take*
Joy of Joys! We are pinching ourselves at the realisation that we have actually managed to not be mediocre for a change, and not only that, but at the 43rd time of asking we have finally WON our first ever GP! What's more, we actually get to stand on half a step this time, and enjoy much more room on the podium, as well as actually getting to take home half a trophy this time!
We would like to throw a party to celebrate this most auspicious of occasions.
Team boss rjbetty had this to say:
"We could not have imagined our season would so far have gone so well. Especially since once again, we backed the wrong engine in choosing Williams instead of Ferrari (where for once Ferrari's testing form was real - just as we stopped believing it re:2011, 2013!).
"This fully vindicates our decision to unceremoniously dump McLaren from our line-up after years of being held back and being a laughing stock. What a difference a season makes."
"We had found out the hard way what a load of tosh the saying "fortune favours the brave" is, and are now reaping the rewards of more conventional choices for our line up this year, having been a very silly billy indeed in our first two seasons."
The team principal also extended congratulations to other friendly rivals in the field. He continued:
"It's another win for Jens, who has really been building up his trophy cabinet in recent times. We watch with interest to see how his Mercedes-or-nothing strategy works out"
and also offered this to say to long time rival Twix's Aki's Racing Team
"We've come a long way eh Steve?"
"Two seasons ago, we were both battling at the back, absolute donkeys and an embarrassment, and always seem to be in pretty close company as we have climbed the field each year. Only thing is, we must fight for our honour and beat him to make it best of 3 this year"
Having gone our first 40 races without a podium, we now have 3 in a row! All this means, incredibly, we are leading the championship! Beggars belief really, good times indeed.
We are aware though, that our bonus race has been used, and only 50pts separates 1st to 10th. But it does seem that after a reasonably solid start, we are right up there.
Once again, we speak for all teams in thanking N.Jones for running the championship and doing a much better job than Bernie.
#Good times
“Manor 2 linked with possible Mercedes drive”
After showing strong form during preseason testing young promising driver Manor 2 was set to make his Formula 1 debut in Australia with Manor Marussia F1 Team. Everyone was shocked when just few days before the race he was replaced by Roberto Merhi. “I’m very disappointed” says Manor 2. “He appeared a few days before the race with bucket full of money taking my race seat. It’s sad but it’s the current situation in F1 – the contracts are not honored and the drivers with most money gets the seats, not ones with talent. But I’m not giving up and working hard to do at least a few practice drives during the season with one of the top teams.” Our source claims it might be the ※Vivaldi Mercedes-Ferrari, but the team boss swiftly denied. “We’re very happy with our current driver lineup” he says. “Maldonado already provided us with invaluable crash test data. We won’t be replacing any of our drivers anytime soon.”

ROUND 6: MONACO GP QUALIFYING
We bring a quick update for our team at Monaco:
Well, no surprise with the Mercedes,so thankfully we have their chassis.
However, Kimi still qualifies slowly in 6th. His good race pace won't be much use here. To cap it off, our engine partners Williams are down in 14th and 17th.
That's the end of our title hopes then; as we prepare to tumble out of our 1pt championship lead. So glad we didn't choose this as our Bonus GP, having actually learned from that last year!
Good luck everyone else (Bah!)
After Monaco GP all members of FTA (FGP Teams Association) are invited to a conference held on my yacht. We plan to study effects of various types of alcohol on FGP teams. The results won’t get published. I have wide selection of samples to taste/test but feel free to bring your own (in sufficient quantity for everyone).
