"Mercedes wins, again"
Mercedes team scored another dominant win during Chinese GP, however not without a last minute drama. The team was on course for a podium lockout when leading Mercedes GT S steered into the pit lane on the last lap with the finish lane in sight. The two Mercedes’ cars remaining on track finished in 1st and 2nd position.
After the race rumours appeared that the leading car might have actually been ordered to drive off the track to secure the double win for the new state of the art Mercedeses W06, the team boss not being keen on seeing less advanced GT S crossing the finish lane first.

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. :(

Being several of us had the same teams with the exception of the bonus GP, I had to look and see if anyone picked this race. Nobody did. Which is a shame, because all of us are going to score really good at Bahrain. :)

Twix's Aki Racing Team is delighted to have won its second race in a row and moves into 4th in the Championship.

The team is enjoying a stunning start to the season. With the same line up as Henners F1, we await the bonus rounds with interest. This being the only thing that can split these two.

For the first time since our start we picked up the last Point. It wont be our last this season!!

“Team not happy with Maldonado’s pointless finish”
After running in top 10 during the race Pastor Maldonado again failed to score any point, for the 4th time during this season (from 4 starts, including 3 consecutive retirements in previous rounds). However his team is not pleased with the result.
“His objective was clear this season” team boss explains. “Keep on the back of the grid and cause some spectacular pile-ups to spice up the boring races. And he hasn’t delivered. He hasn’t crashed into any notable driver, hasn’t disrupted fight for the win. Even more, he allowed former champion Jenson Button to crash him out of the previous race. And today he simply finished outside the points. He showed absolutely nothing, driving a clean race. Even worse, he was heading for a strong top 10 finish – luckily some mechanical fault hampered his progress. We expect to have a serious talk with him before the next race.”
However he insists Maldonado has full team’s support. “We all know it’s difficult to join the new team and start crashing right off the bat” he says. “But overshooting pit entry during last race in China was promising. We hope he will unlock his potential during next race in Barcelona. He already won there, so he won’t feel pressure to win there again.”

‘pointless’ has a double meaning ;)

Sooooooooooo happy I stuck with Ferrari!

Sooooooooooo angry I'm stuck with Nico! (angry at moderators/admins responsible)
But I'm happy with Maldonado as my lead :)

Underdog Jens GP Racing faces the danger of finishing midfield this year. "The all-Mercedes gamble is not working out", says team principal Jens. "But when we signed this deal, we knew it is all or nothing and we are underdogs."

That means you'll be lower than me!
Feel the burn.

I'm all Mercedes and I'm top at the moment, so what have you down wrong, site I've used my bonus already, but can't see why you shouldn't be mixing it at the sharp end?

I think most of the teams haven't had bonus race yet and you are leading by the virtue of bonus race mainly. Right now in front of me there are plenty of teams, who haven't had bonus race either, so the bonus is not going to help me much as they'll get one too.

Pretty much.
This is going to be an interesting season FGP wise due to how the Ferrari's are doing.

now that we established FTA wonna boycott some GP? :D

“FTA shows its power”
After recent disagreements with the governing body all teams unanimously decided to boycott the German GP. It’s without a precedent, as never in the history of F1 was a GP canceled due to teams’ boycott.
It means that for the first time since 1960 there will be no GP held in Germany in the calendar.

I feel sorry for the fans, but actions were needed

Monza will be next :vader:

“Will Nicogate plunge ※ Vivaldi Mercedes-Ferrari?”
Recently a man appeared claiming to being Nico Rosberg and requesting his toothbrush back from ※ Vivaldi Mercedes-Ferrari. The team hasn’t released any official comments but we asked team’s second driver Nico Hülkenberg. “It’s mine” says the other Nico. “It has my name written on it. See, there’s ‘Nico’ written on it. It’s mine” he shouts and starts sobbing. Our inside source claims the toothbrush in question was in use by the team since 2010.
We’ll keep you updated how this fascinating story develops with daily reports until the next boring race in Barcelona.

Another podium for Twix Aki's Racing Team means a strong 5th in the World Championship without using a bonus race yet.

The team would like to offer congratulations to Ford Focus Team and Jens GP for a fine win.

TART (Twix Aki's Racing Team) is celebrating a strong start to the 2015 FGP season.

After 5 Rounds, with no bonus taken yet the team are 5th in the Championship after securing two wins and two podiums in the five races.

still hanging on to a top 10 spot.
My, how our fortunes would be different if the lotus drivers could finish in the points, sigh :(

POS F1 is so overjoyed to be in the top ten that we aren't even going to complain about out driver lineup!

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).
