I'm now 26th!

Time for some sackings.

I've made a few sacking this time. My patience is wearing thin with Merc!

It won't let me change one of my drivers!

You need to click on the driver's name in the list above the picture of your line-up. It took me ages to work that out, when I was trying to change mine!

@andrew How come?

If you didn't know, there is a limit of one transfer between each race, which rolls over but only to a maximum of 2. Also, you get charged a 'transfer fee' so it's important to be sure you have enough spare to account for that.

I swapped Vettel for Button, to take advantage of his price drop. However Perez is no longer able to be the talent driver, so step up Hulkenburg... for now, until i swap him for one of the Williams guys or better. I really need Grosjean to pull his finger out cause i have Lotus chassis and engines

I'm doing that but it just keeps going back to my original drivers - most of whom are useless twits or jinxed it seems!

At least I managed to change the chassis.

Thanks Scotty. I had 2 transfers available but didn't notice the transfer fee. I'll just have to bide my time. Hopefully a change from Torro Rosso to Lotus should help.

It's tricky isn't it? I waited until after Sepang to make amendments to my line-up. I earned enough money to dump Glock and Rosberg, and replace them with Raikkonen and Hulkenberg.

I focused on the drivers more than the chassis/engine, seeing as the drivers can potentially provide you with more points, so I'm still stuck with Merc engines and chassis. This is the next area I'm looking to sort out, because 1 point from two races is simply NOT ON!!

Yup, it's like 4% or something. Bit annoying really. But also potentially hilarious, cause if someone does a REALLY bad job they'll just keep losing money until all they can afford are HRT and Marussia drivers and components!

It's tricky isn't it?

Yeah, especially cause the transfers are limited. I'm reasonably happy with my team now though, i think it's probably one of the best all round teams you could feasibly get (although i'm sure everyone will say that about their own team haha). I always start slow on these fantasy things, it's the same with my Premier League one.

I also started with Rosberg and quickly sacked him once i realised that he's crap in the races.


I'm pleased with this new league though, it's much more fun that the old one and it seems to be pretty well recieved by everyone, which is good

I'm not sure mine is one of the best all-rounders yet, there's still some work to be done. I'm hoping my new drivers give me enough points to be able to sort out the chassis and engine department!

But yeah, massive thumbs up with regards to the league you created! It's working a treat so far, and is incredibly good fun!

I'm stuck with the effeminate looking nonce!

After last season I thought he'd be right up there. I was wrong. Vettel's doing nothing, Maldonado either chucks it at the scenery or blows up (if the races were 1 laps shorter he'd be sorted) and I only took Kovi 'cos I was skint. The Merc version of the Merc engine was probably not the best move either seeing as they seem to have an excellent reverse gear.

Down to third; damn you Button, no mistakes all last year and you go and screw up in race two, I'm disappointed, at least I got some points for Perez!

[acosmichippo]

Up one place for me! Happy with that considering Jenson had such a crappy race, and Grosjean didn't even finish.

well, I was stoked to have Perez and use him as my talent driver, but alas, his value is now over 15M.

So I dumped him and picked up Vettel. Good deal, methinks. Jenson, Seb, and Kimi? Oh yes. Now if I can just get Romain to pick up some points for my team and engine, I may continue the crawl up the leader board.

I should have had perez from the first time watching him in melbourne last year. I added him and grosean. I still have merc because I think they can still pull off some good stuff.

I am going to save I think to get mclaren for my team though,

Won a cool 600k from kimi placing in top 6.

2nd now not bad 44th overall.if only Lewis transferred his poles into wins my McLaren chassis, engine and Lewis as driver would be unstoppable

Though I don't have him, any mclaren 1-2 should keep me with button, above most of the red bull crowd. I just gotta get mclaren in there for my team, and those 1-2s will turn into giant points.

I claimed to 10th on the main league and first in ours!!! Woot!

Brandon and Brad at the top huh

[LewEngBridewell]

Yep, McLaren is my goal! I can't wait to dump these Merc chassis and engines!
