They are, they certainly are. That car has been capable of a lot more than the points they have earned.

Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team Bahrain GP Statement



So with three races down its clear Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team has the potential to move even further up the field as so far always two components of the are not scoring.

In Australia Ricciardo and Maldonado scored no points.
In Malaysia Ricciardo and Maldonado scored no points.
and now in Bahrain McLaren Mercedes and Maldonado scored no points

We are clearly delighted about our Chassis which again won the race and if only we were allowed both cars to score.

We give three cheers to Daniel for scoring his first allowed points of this season.

However once again we can only kick ourselves for choosing Maldonado. Already in 2014 relations had become strained but yesterdays incident is already causing concern as to whether he will score any points.

As for McLaren Mercedes our engine, we are very disappointed in our double DNF.

We hope for better results in China. However an 18th placed finish in the Bahrain FGP is clear evidence that we are no longer a back marker, and today we got a big jump over Ford Focus F1 Team who clearly had a bad day, however we are sure they will be back.

Congrats to Happy Bubble racing who finished 11th.

It seems our 3 team partnership has taken us from back markers to 10th-20th sitters at the moment. With Ford Focus a fine 10th, Happy Bubble 13th and sadly due to Ricciardos two failures to score in Rounds 1 and 2 we sit 20th.

We hope to move forward as the season improves.

Motorsport Forum Journalists have got hold of a rumour that relations have become very strained between Aki's Hedgehog Racing team and its second driver Pastor Maldonado.

So far choosing Maldonado has been AHRT's biggest mistake after letting highly promising Bottas go over the winter.

Maldonado has failed to score a single point in the first 3 events and he capped it off by smashing into a Sauber.

We have it on authority that AHRT have already been threatening Maldonado with the sack for 2015.

No, my drivers ran into each other!

I think I should change my team to - "King of the Crap" or "I Provide The Comedy".

2nd for the boyz only losing out to a bonus baby. After the race Slash thanked Danny boy, Fast Felipe, and Hulk for their contributions helping the team jump 13 places to p8.
Congrats Koz!

Edit:
Thanks for the expeditious work Mr. Jones. I am curious why Koz has his team listed twice; 1st 86 points , and 30th 14points

AAh!

I changed my team just before entries closed, I didn't see the old team in there before and I'm sure Mr Jones missed it too... Thankfully it's the newer team that's scoring good points!!

FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT


We bring a report on the recent happenings at the Bahrain GP.

After our very strong start to the season, it was a bit of a dip this time for the team as we scored a result more in keeping with our form last season - 24th. But at least unlike then, it seems more of a one-off, and not a sign of constant mediocrity to come.

Well, we maybe should have thought about using a McLaren chassis again, after everything they put us through last year! At least Captain Complex is in charge of the team again and is likely to whip the team forwards instead of saying never mind.

Mercedes unsurprisingly prove the right choice again, and failure to have this car in your line-up spells instant suicide for you. *cough N.Jones cough*


As for our drivers, well Magnussen retired this time so no points there. As for Bottas, we are scratching our heads as to how he and Williams contrived to get him down to 8th behind Felipe-baby, having started 3rd(?) But at least he brings more points and saves us total embarrassment.


As for our partners, Happy Bubble Racing Team came 11th; pretty good seeing they don't have a permanent team boss. We almost forgot that rjbetty is due to fill that role too at some point this season. Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team came 18th, ahead of us for the first time, since Ricciardo now scored points. They are down a little so far, but show potential as their drivers are likely to do much better than present in future.

However, we still can't quite believe he dumped Bottas, who is now coming good, for Maldonado. Oh dear.


10th in the FGP WDC may be a little optimistic now, but we are still enjoying a much better season.


In our co-operation with other teams, we are saving up to buy another desktop fan to provide a windtunnel boost alongside Steve's one. Rumours are that we are in disagreement as to whether this should be located in Chelmsford, Berkshire, or in the Kazhakstan desert, where our simulator is unexplicably located.

We are unhappy with the remote desert location, and grumpily question what Jens was thinking when he came up with this bright idea. Though secrecy is improved, the cost of renting a camel each time is simply too much of a drain on our finances.


Our season so far:

5th 10th 24th

Overall position: 10th - 142pts
