F1 2016 Season with Fantasy League see Threadmark

My fantasy team is going well. I had 3 drivers on the podium today.

Verstappen is talented though, it must be nerve-racking to be only 18 and be racing in a sport like this. He handles himself well though.
 
love riccardo - max fecking 18 , i got my licence at 18. and nico is an ok driver. has a great car but without hamilton having a complete breakdown he'll be no closer than last yr. he certainly isn't pushing hamilton. he has to drive to defend all the time. great drivers with great cars = champions.
 
Hamilton once again proving he's in a class of his own compared to Rosberg. So happy to see the much better driver finally take the deserved lead.
 
I'm a Nico fan but surely he's pushed Max off there? He's barely turned on the entry into that corner.

Exactly, if anything it was worse than the one against Lewis but luckily no damage.

He clearly pushed him off track and made no attempt to turn the steering wheel until Max had no track space. Can't believe Sky are defending that. Austria all over again (admittedly not as bad this time).

Yup although I think he went even deeper today, can't stand the tw@t!
 
What is it with Rosburg and being shite off pole? And his shit excuses when holding a wider line to deliberately push opponents off the track.

Pathetic punishment handed out for deliberately running someone off the track.

he'll hurt someone with that shite attempt at blocking. plus he should get punched in the face for the worse excuse for doing it. the div doesn't know about the in car camera?
 
rare footage of the time nico was asked to haul parts to the mercedes factory.

 
I still can't believe some of you skip rats changing your fantasy selections since the beginning
Deplorable behaviour

I will post the leauge table when I get back from hols or if somebody eants to to it, please feel free.

No pressure mate. I haven't changed mine yet.
 
Manor have terminated Rio Haryanto's contract halfway through the 2016 season and replaced the Indonesian with Esteban Ocon.

Haryanto, an F1 rookie this year, was heavily backed upon his arrival in the sport but has struggled to raise funds in recent months, with Manor confirming the Indonesian has been dropped after 'he was unable to meet his contractual obligations'.

Stoffel Vandoorne, Alexander Rossi and Jordan King were all linked with the race seat but it is Ocon who will line up alongside fellow Mercedes youngster Pascal Wehrlein in the MRT05 for the rest of the campaign.
 
Standings after race 12
Sorry for the delay.

Cartman keeps his place at the top with a lead of 24 points.
Redfish-Alfa jumps up 2 places, 8th to 3rd in 2 races, outstanding.
Not much happening in the rest of the places.

Team of the race is Enzo's Red with a jump of 3 places. Well Done.

Next race is the Belgian Race on 28th August.
Get those changes made, or not has the case maybe for some teams.

That's a shame. I loved the "his name is Rio and he's beached it on the sand" jokes on Twitter
 
Lewis Hamilton will take a grid penalty at this weekend's Belgian GP with Mercedes expecting the world championship leader to start from the back of the grid at Spa.

"As far as l am aware we will be taking a penalty this weekend," Hamilton told reporters at Spa.

The demotion, which will be worth at least ten places, is a hangover from the reliability woes Hamilton suffered at the start of the season.


Mercedes have confirmed Hamilton will take a penalty, but are yet to decide the severity of the punishment they will trigger. But a spokesperson for the team acknowledged 'it is safe to assume he will start from the back of the field or very close'.
 
Will Hamilton still score the 10 points if he sets the pole lap despite his demotion?
 
Lewis Hamilton will be demoted 15 grid slots at the Belgian GP - but more penalties are still expected to be incurred by the world champion this weekend at Spa.

Hamilton's Mercedes W07 car was fitted with a brand-new engine for Friday morning practice at Spa with the use of a sixth turbo and MGU-H this year automatically triggering a 15-place demotion.

However, with Mercedes expected to fit Hamilton's car with at least one other fresh engine before qualifying, more penalties are set to follow, condemning the world champion to the last row for Sunday's race.


"There could be a brand new unit going in for P2 and P3," reported Sky F1's David Croft.

"If that's the case he'll break the record currently held by Jenson Button for the most amount of grid penalties for one race, it will be 75. You get a 10-place grid penalty for the first sixth of the power unit elements you take, then you get five extra places for each subsequent element you take."

75 places !!!! stupid penalties, what is the point of him even trying in qualifying, might has well save his rubber for the race
 
Ridiculous fans don't get to see Hamilton hammer it out for Pole.

What would you suggest? He's gone over the engine limit for some parts, a penalty should be issued.

On another note, Kvyat still struggling, Ocon did fairly well and GO Massa!!!
 
Clarification - Lewis Hamilton will not start from the pits, but from the grid 21st, after stewards imposed incorrect penalty. The world of F1 adding to its long list of embarrassments.
 
This has potential to be the most exciting race of the season though. There's always something special about Spa.
 
Everyone saying Verstappen doesn't have the best strategy as he is starting on the super softs, I actually think that is the best one to be on
