Sacked off Hulkenburg now, for Vergne. I want to try and get one of the Williams guys though, at the very least (preferably one of the Q3 team drivers that i don't have already).

[acosmichippo]

Yeah, I'm tempted to dump Hulk for Maldonado... but I just really don't want Maldonado on my team. I'll ponder this and decide later this week.

Anyway, I jumped up six places this week thanks to Grosjean actually finishing, and well at that. Too bad Kimi had such a crappy strategy, or I'd have had a much more awesome week. At one point, Jenson, Seb, and Kimi were running 2, 3, 4, and I was like STOP! RED FLAG IT! CASH IT IN!

And my bets flopped miserably. I bet Schumacher would finish better than Nico, and Kimi would finish in the top 6. It's OK, I'm still in the black on my overall bets.

I'm still pretty happy with my choices, another good points haul for me, with both Kobayashi and Perez in the points, Jenson in second and two McMerc engines in the top three! I'm in third 92 points off the leaders!

[acosmichippo]

Yeah, those of you that picked McLaren as your team/engine are pulling away. I'd switch, but it would take me at least two other moves to shift the cash around.

Woot what a great race. I ditched red bull engines, picked up mclaren, so I got merc, mclaren, kimi, grosean (want him gone for shumi), dir resta (like him gone for perez), and button who I've had since the beginning.

Well, I'm hoping that I can take advantage uncharacteristically poor results from a couple of teams and drivers whose value I think will improve.

I've finally gained the 2 million I needed to switch from STR to Sauber for the team. Hopefully I can keep working up to a higher team, or maybe Sauber could have a few good results a bit later in the year.

However, in light of Mercedes' marked improvement, I couldn't help but notice that Schumacher could be good value for money, and was cheaper than Kobayashi. So I switched Kobayashi for Schumacher and gained an extra 500,000 in the process!

It's a bit of a gamble but I think that Mercedes' improvement means Schumacher is bound to get out of this rut and get on the podium in the next couple of races!

Schumacher is now my talent driver, as his value is less than 15 million.

Entry: AzSpeed Racing
Team: Sauber
Engine: McLaren Mercedes
Drivers:
- Sebastian Vettel
- Kimi Raikkonen
- Michael Schumacher [T]
- Jean Eric Vergne

Now I am just trying to spot a bargain that would help me dis Vergne...

How can a 7 time world champ be your talent?

[geetface9]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I HAD MOST GAINED FOR THIS RACE!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! I decided to dump vergne for senna, so now I have both williams drivers, webber, and rosberg. Williams has looked very promising so far this year so I'm hoping that continues. I also have mercedes gp as my team and mclaren mercedes engine so I'm making big points. I wanted to buy williams F1 stocks IRL before the season as well but I couldn't afford it, and the price has gone up almost 50% since the season start!!!!! GRRRRR I MISSED OUT BIG!!! But that's ok, I'm making it up in millions of imaginary $$ on the fantasy site.

Not bad for a number 2 driver.

BWAHAHA WELL PLAYED, GOOD SIR!! NOT BAD INDEED!! We may be looking at a number 1 driver in webber this year...you read it here first!! MA BOY'S BACK ON FORM!!

If I get another completely average points haul, then I'm going to wait for a while and save money up.

I thought that was really strange myself, and why I am hoping I can land him before he goes up to high lol. I think grosean or diresta is about to get the boot.

Not sure if you're joking, but your talent driver can be anyone whose cost is 15M or less.

I think he means that he should not be costing 15 mill to be eligible. I agree, it is schumi. Even kimi didn't start like that.

[acosmichippo]

well, if he doesn't finish, he isn't much good, is he?
