VAUXHALL ASTRA F1 TEAM STATEMENT
Here are the latest news and updates from our team:
The team were happy to receive one of our now only occasional visits from our team boss rjbetty this Thursday, having arrived to check on his teams progress.
We were quite alarmed and dismayed to check in on the result, looking on longingly at that Red Bull chassis in particular. In an increasingly desperate bid to salvage some success from this season, we are trying to contact Sebastian Vettel with the offer of a unique chance to prove a point to his naysayers who insist his success is all down to the car (i.e. garry walker).
We will offer Seb the chance to swap his chassis with one of ours! Then it is a win-win situation for both of us: We will actually have the chance to score decent results, while Vettel can prove a point (and score some too). The plan is of course to give the car to our driver Sergio Perez rather than Button.
Having scored an equal 33rd in Singapore, VAF1 remain 37th in the championship. Our only goal for this season is to finish in the top 40 overall and out of the bottom 6 (and beat 1 or 2 teams in particular). With 6 races to go, it is very tight, but we are fighting tooth and nail for every point and are determined to remain in the top 40 when the music stops at season's end.
On another note, it seems that the team boss's attempt to coax more pace out of Gutierrez by crying tears into his fuel tank worked a treat as the young Mexican lined up an eye-watering (ahem) 10th on the grid. As usual though, it didn't last and he rolled home 12th and out of the points - though he did at least finish ahead of Bottas.
In light of the qualifying performance, VAF1 have now placed a massive order of onions. It is most ironic having laughed so much at sniffpetrol.com's season preview regarding Paul di Resta, that it is in fact the Vauxhall Astra F1 Team that are now boosted by the pure power of rjbetty's misery.
In addition, there are recent murmurings of a major deal in the works with Shell. The plan is for Shell to become the team's major sponsor in 2014. Alongside this, Shell will formulate the next generation of their much vaunted (but a little too expensive for our liking) V-Power Nitro+ Fuel, the basis of which will be harnessing the power of the guvnor's tears.
On the subject of 2014, we are thinking that we should really begin to start making some plans at some point we guess.
N. Jones, can you please recheck those results. After the Italian GP I was tied with All Eggs.. and 1 point behind Liger. In Singapore I scored 9 points more than those teams and instead of leapfrogging them in the overall standings (and getting a taste of the podium) I'm shown as being 8 or 9 points behind them.
Thanks for all your work on this by the way - it really does make the season more enjoyable. Without FGP I'd probably be as tired of seeing Seb & Redbull at the top as many others, but because I picked Redbull for my FGP team and I'm fighting to get onto the podium things are still interesting.
Today Aki Racing Team boss Steveaki13 stated he was disappointed with the 2013 season and may look to sell the team for 2014. He was very critical of the teams performance, which at every race is in the top 40, but now the season total see's the team 41st of 46.
He stated: I have never seen such a rabble as we have assembled this season. The Sauber chassis is a real dog, the Mercedes engine may be powerful but both Button & Bottas have been woeful. Even a rubbish driver like Gutierrez who only the most desperate team would employ, is doing better.
The ART gaffer also added that he has set his team an minimum goal.
"I am truly angry at the decisions that have been made this season, but I have sent out a memo, stating that if we can beat AstraF1 & Henners F1 by the seasons end, then we will keep trying to improve next season, if we don't I will Sell the Team or refuse to employ any elements of our currant team next year.
Sure. I hope I didn't goof but you never know!Quote:
