FF1GP in Brazil

Monday, October 27th, 2008

The final race of the season is nearly here, and it’s going to be a cracker.

Let’s hope it’s going to be a clean fight between Hamilton Vs Massa. No-one wants’ a repeat of any stewards madness like in Spa, Japan or another coldfuel-gate like appeal from Brazil last year. Being a Brit, I’ll be supporting Jenson Button to take the chequered flag!

Anyway, what I’ll be doing is posting the final 2008 FF1GP results from about 21:00GMT on Sunday, hopefully all ready for everyone in their own Fantasy Leagues to see who is the overall winner on Monday morning.

If (And remember the word IF is F1 backwards) things do get daft in the world of F1 for any reason, I’ll post up the latest news here.

More news after the race.

Japan FF1GP Results

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Did you get up and 4:30am to watch the Japanese grand prix? I sure did, and slept the rest of the day afterwards!

If you saw the race, you would know Massa originally finished 8th, and Boudias finished 6th. However when Bourdias came out of the pits, he had the inside line, while Massa try to go around the outside of him, and somehow Massa spun.

The Stewards decided it was worth investigating, but with 16 laps to go, they decided to investigate it after the race. In the end they decided to give Bourdias a 25 second penalty…yes it doesn’t make any sense to me either.

Since we know know stewards decisions cannot be appealed, it looks like F1 is going to get a lot of flack over this latest ruling.

More news from ITV-F1 news and if you like to hear about the incident from Bourdias point of view, head over to Planet F1.

Next race in China, in a week’s time.
