So I was able to finally ditch Mercedes... and I "upgraded" to Mclaren.

So, the reverse of your man LH?

The quotes there are critical.

Hurry up and update!

It's up-dated now and I'm confused. Despite having Vettel, Alonso and Webber in my team along with the full red Bull/Renult package, I still lost a place! Hoe's that work?! I was expecting a huge points tally.

[LewEngBridewell]

Really want Vettel / RBR, but just can't afford them

[stonemonkey]

Moved up 69 places in the main league and 1 place in the forum league to the top of page 2.

I've just ditched RBren engine for McMerc.

Watch out Big Az, I'm looking to make my way on to page 1.

Whose team is chegglets?? Gonna struggle to hold him off, i can't afford Red Bull engines now... still 4th overall though. Hoping i might catch the guy in 3rd, but it's a long shot.

I had my best performance of the season... gained two spots. solid mid fielder now.

I'm happy with my drivers but I'm stuck with McLaren as a team and engine and it's making me hemorrhage points to those that have the Red Bull pairing of team and engine.

At the expense of me; I've held the top spot.... on page 2... for some time now.... GRRRR

well I *think* a lot of points can be won for how many places your drivers move up the grid. So, although you would've got a nice amount of points for where they finished, they didnt accumulate much for improving where they started from. So the guys around you may have lesser drivers that moved up the grid and gained a lot of points that way. Which is kinda unfair if you ask me.

OF course I could be wrong, Ive not checked the points system before typing, but im fairly sure thats right.

(if I wasnt so hungover I might go check. But I am. So I wont.)

Yeah, it's getting much more difficult to make any headway at the top since everyone has a pretty similar team.

It also greatly depends on your talent driver (who gets a 50% point bonus). A while ago, Alonso and Lewis were cheap enough to make a talent drivers, so anyone who did that would have racked up even more points in India. After looking at Geet's team, it looks like that's exactly how he gained 3 places, while Andrew lost one.

Having ditched Webber to afford the team McLaren, and picking up Button in exchange I think I may wind up having a good last few races if McLaren decides to show up. Practice today was encouraging. I'm so far behind I'd simply be happy with breaking the top 15.

[LewEngBridewell]

I think I'm just outside the top 10... a far cry from my F1 Pool results...

1 point off the first page, watch out big az.
