FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT

Team boss rjbetty finds some time to issue a press release, having lost interest now his team is clearly well down the pack after a good start.

MONACO GP
We were happy to claim a best ever 4th place finish on the Monaco streets last fortnight, though this is because we used our bonus GP. We felt before the season that Monaco would actually not be the best choice and we should have gone for Australia, but it felt slightly clichéd to do so and we wanted to try something different. Had we done so, we would have won comfortably, so our bonus round was somewhat wasted.

But we are holding celebrations for Jules Bianchi's brilliant 9th place, scoring points for Marussia. Come have some cake!



CANADA
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs - 2 almost old-school races in a row! Both of our drivers scored today but we were still only 20th. The culprit for this is rjbetty's decision to change his mind on signing Ricciardo for just $9million, instead buying into the McLaren and Magnussen pre-season hype only to find that McLaren have somehow come up with an absurdly poor vehicle, so amazingly off the pace it beggars belief! *sob!*

WE BLAME MCLAREN FOR BEING CR@P - WE CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'VE DONE THIS TO US AGAIN AFTER GIVING THEM ANOTHER CHANCE THIS SEASON!

However, we were delighted to see our team-mates Jens and Steve score a fantastic 1-2 finish, on the scene of Steve's win 2 years ago! Well done guys! (Any chance of loaning Ricciardo to us for a few races?)


ON OUR 2014 SEASON
Though we kinda suck somewhat after a false dawn in Australia, we have now had 3 top 10 results this season which is a great improvement on our miserable 2013. We have improved from being awful all the way up to mediocre. We are still hoping we can reach so-so levels later this year, though McLaren already are making "shift focus to 2015 sounds" - well that's just great guys - good going! Meanwhile, Williams probably won't improve so that looks like that.

We are looking forward with great anticipation to the next round, one of rjbetty's favourite circuits, as F1 makes a hugely welcome (for me) return to the A1-Ring in Austria! YAAAAAAAY!
