Neil C · 13 Mar 2000, 16:33 (Ref:13788)

Aha! My strategy is working perfectly! Write off SNAFU at your own risk!

Is there any prize for getting more minus points than the leader has positive? If not I better rethink my stealth strategy!

AL Racing · 13 Mar 2000, 20:15 (Ref:13789)

Eero, I think you forgot me! I have 88 p and is in 34 place!

Seems like you gys have some catching up to do!

Gerard · 13 Mar 2000, 23:31 (Ref:13790)

I'm in 227th place. Wow!
I mean Ouch!
Well, at least there are still 223 teams eating my dust.

EERO · 14 Mar 2000, 18:49 (Ref:13791)

Sorry, Anders. My apologies. Of course the FIA may have just decided to discount your points for a front wing that was 20 cm too narrow, wide, high, low,... we'll think of something.

Actually, I just didn't think to look that high in the standings, I figured we were all destined to perform like Snafu.

Catch me - never, for I have the one and only Jenson Button in my team!
Thanks all, look forward to extending the lead at Interlagos, and if anyone wants personal tips, Farm Straight @ Silverstone Round 4 23/4/00. CU there

David McManus · 14 Mar 2000, 20:27 (Ref:13793)

Look out Anders, I'll catch up. I have the mighty J. Button!
Look forward to hammering you all again in Brazil.
Anyone else going to Silverstone and fancy a meet?
Seriously though, big lead after the top 2!

AL Racing · 14 Mar 2000, 23:13 (Ref:13794)

You'll need more than one Button to keep that statement air-tight!

Liz · 15 Mar 2000, 00:34 (Ref:13795)

Well, 216th is not brill, but just wait until those Jordans finish!

P.S. Is that position before or after Zonta moved up to 6th place? Can somebody who can add please tell me?

EERO · 15 Mar 2000, 02:05 (Ref:13796)

Mr. McMANUS, the stewards apologise, for the first and only time, beware the black flag.

Oh dear, think of the time I'd lose with a 10 second stop-go penalty!

Minardi fan · 20 Mar 2000, 20:16 (Ref:13798)

Kinder Surprise????

You know, one of the world's greatest confectionary treats. The egg with the toy in.

Yum!

(Plus the toy keeps me occupied for seconds, if not minutes....)

AL Racing · 23 Mar 2000, 00:15 (Ref:13799)

The Kinder Egg...a harmless chocolate egg with a cute toy inside. And their advertise slogan (atleast here in Sweden) is 3 wishes in one, something exciting, something you can play with, and chocolate.

Well I have a funny story about the "Kinder Suprise". I read it in a newspaper a long time ago. About a kid buying a Kinder Egg and was real excited about the toy suprise inside. He was in for an suprise allright, a whole bunch of small flies flew out from the egg when he opened it!

The company were terribly sorry and offered the kid a whole box of Kinder Eggs for his nasty experience! (oh no, no more flies!)

EERO · 23 Mar 2000, 04:38 (Ref:13800)

Thank heavens, I was afraid we'd be trading recipes like a gang of Hannibal Lectors.

David McManus · 25 Mar 2000, 11:02 (Ref:13801)

When did Kinder Surprise become relevant to Fantasy F1?
Off topic slightly!

Liz · 26 Mar 2000, 15:11 (Ref:13802)

Maybe it has something to do with Jensen Button. Give him five races and we will see.

UPDATE: I think I got 62 points today. But we will see.

David McManus · 27 Mar 2000, 17:56 (Ref:13803)

I think I'm going back to the top
Thank you, Mr Button
Ignore this talented kid if you dare
Almost got a points finish in Melbourne
1 point at Interlagos
He'll be winning races by Monaco ;-)

With Ralf as my other driver (5th and 6th places) I should score enough points to have that lead.

ROLL ON IMOLA :-)

Is that Liz on a good day?

Liz · 27 Mar 2000, 19:52 (Ref:13805)

Minardi Fan: in thy dreams.

Scuse me while I go check my points, now that Frenzy has moved up a bit!

Up to 155!!!!!!! Yee ha!! FORZA JORDAN!

[This message has been edited by Liz (edited 27 March 2000).]

Gerard · 27 Mar 2000, 22:55 (Ref:13806)

I've dropped 2 places, I'm currently 229.
Thank you very much Hakkinen. Not really!
I should have taken Jos the Boss.
My other driver Zonta didn't help me very much either this time, but I'll keep him for a while because Liz thinks he's cute.
Thank God the Jordans did well.
See you in San Marino.

David McManus · 27 Mar 2000, 23:32 (Ref:13808)

Oh well, I'm not quite top yet.
Here are the positions after the Brazilian GP
(Overall position in competition (600 entrants)in brackets)

1 AL Racing 137 ( 54)
2 Nifty Nostrils 121 ( 89)
3 Leeds United ... 2000 111 (120)
4 Frenbari 107 (144)
5 Rydells Rangers 103 (155)
6 Valhalla Team EERO 96 (177)
7 Gonk Racing Inc. 85 (225)
8 Tulip Racing 84 (229)
9 KC Team Go Fast 60 (337)
10 Snafu Racing -9 (594)

Close at top wth just 41pts separating top 6 positions. Snafu dropping off and well outside the qualifying 107% for Imola!

Yes that is minus nine!
Congratulations AL for current top, It won't last long.
JENSON BUTTON FOR WDC!

Liz · 28 Mar 2000, 01:22 (Ref:13807)

Zonta is surpassingly gorgeous. But I have to confess I would have taken the slightly less gorgeous but totally acceptable Jarno Trulli if I could have afforded him!

I was a bit worried about Frenzy for awhile there. But my boys will be good consistent pilotes and the Jordan can only keep getting better.

Toth · 28 Mar 2000, 13:25 (Ref:13809)

WOW,I'm second!!!

Congrats to AL, but they will be your last, I'm coming to get ya.

AL Racing · 28 Mar 2000, 20:32 (Ref:13810)

Y'all wont catch me!

When HHF,Gene, Ferrari and Honda will be even stronger come Imola.

Gerard · 29 Mar 2000, 21:34 (Ref:13811)

Dilemma, dilemma!
Do I want Coulthard to get his points back or not.
As a human being I would have to say, yes.
But as a team manager (who's nothing like a human being) I would say, no way Jose!
Because of the disqualification of the McLaren, I climbed from 229 to 197 in the ranks.
Seems everyone in here gained some points, so if McLaren do get the points back, I suggest we all file a protest to the FIA.
It'll only cost us a couple of thousand dollars.
