21.06.09 - BRITAIN - What was a very boring race was not so in FFF1 this week. There has been lots of movement in the table. The big move comes at the bottom as Jen shocks everyone and makes transfers, this in turn lost her 8 points and Mike's bigger score means for the first time this season he moves off the bottom. Elsewhere, the biggest score is posted by Math. Once again Colin closes the gap slightly on Will whilst Math's score moves him above Beccy and Dave slips a place to Borris' advantage. Next race is double points so with things this close it really is all to play for!
07.06.09 - TURKEY - An uneventful race decided by a first lap mistake means some more good scores this week. Colin tops with 44 to keep the pressure on Will whilst at the bottom Mike makes a big step towards Jenni almost doubling her score. How much longer can she afford not to make transfers? What this does mean however is there is just the one change in the table with Dave and Math switching places. It's the Brittish GP next where Button will be looking to make it 7 wins out of 8. We're only two tracks away from more double points so the next race could prove very important.
24.05.09 - MONACO - Not even the glitz and the glamor of Monaco was enough to bring the budget Brawn team back down to earth as Button continues to dominate and his team brought home another one-two. As such everyone but Jen gets a good to very good score. Only Vettel of the front runners failed to finish and with the Toyota's now back row material transfers are becoming very important (don't forget the updated prices from race 7 onwards). What all of this means is there is little change as Will once again brings home the top score, with Borris in a close second. Jenni slips all the way down to seventh and Mike is now just 22 points from escaping last place.

SPAIN - An uneventful Grand Prix is often good news for a
fantasy F1 game as it means it's normally the fastest, and therefore
most picked, drivers that come home first. This was the case in
Spain as a Brawn 1-2 and Red Bull 3-4 caused some good scores. Will
gets the highest score for the second race in a row and extends his
lead over now second Colin. Beccy falls back, in part due to
transfers. The mid field is very tight and Mike is even catching up,
now only 22 points behind Borris. The next race is Monaco where
anything can happen!
26.04.09 -
BAHRAIN - Double points were up for offer for the first time
this season and boy did we get some big scores. Will more than makes
up for an awful race 3 and gets a massive 96 points, moving him back
to the top of the table. Colin continues his turn of form with an
equally impressive 92. Jenni moves up to second but Beccy slips down
to third from top spot. Mike manages to tripple his score in one
race thanks to his transfer whilst Math's proved less effective as
he moves down a place to sixth. The table is still very close and
with only four races gone it could be all change once again very
soon.
19.04.09 -
CHINA - After another rain affected race it's all change in the
FFF1 table. Week 2 leader Will has a race to forget and records the
lowest score of all 8 players. This allows Beccy to move to the top
with a good score of 26. The highest points total goes to Jen with
29 but that's not enought to move her above Borris as the bottom
five remain the same. It's also a good week for Colin thanks to his
changes, bringing in Brawn and Button. What this does mean is a gap
is already forming between Mike and the rest of the field. The next
race is Sunday in Bahrain, and don't forget it's double points so
expect a lot of shuffling in the table.
05.04.09 -
MALAYSIA - Just when you thought things couldn't get more
complicated we get a race like that. A fantastic turn of events on
track means things off it have caused some issues again. As
discussed at the start of the season areas of debate like the
results of this race will go to a vote. Before I got a chance to
discuss this I recieved such votes from Beccy, Borris, Colin and Jen
telling me half points should be awarded. As that's the majority the
decision was made and that's what's been done. So, it's like this.
Normal points are given for poll, fastest lap, constructors and
finishing position as normal game rules dictates. Half points
however are given for finishing points. This means Glock for example
gets 3 points for his third place and the normal 2 for his top 8
finish, giving a total of 5 points. Simple. What this does in terms
of the table is Will stays top but Beccy moves up to second. Math
gets the highest score and moves to third, now tied with Dave who
slips one. Meanwhile the players without Button lose out again and
Mike is yet to reach double figures.

AUSTRALIA - So we're finally underway after 6 months of waiting.
Great race for sure (a phrase all F1 drivers are saying these days)
but what about the first FFF1 scores. Well toping the table are Dave
and Will on 31 points. Jenson Button was the big points earner
thanks to his pole and he helped the top 5 in the table to more than
double their scores in some cases. Beccy is just a point behind in
second thanks to having 3 drivers in the top 6. in 7th is Colin with
a lowly 5 points as he saw two of his drivers take each other out on
the final laps when second and third. Proping up the table however
is Mike who scored a sole point thanks to Nick Heidfeld's BMW coming
home 10th. |
