Welcome to FGP for 2010! I hope this season will be a success and I have an announcement that should help everyone keep updated on FGP as the season progresses.

For those who are new to fantasy grand prix here is a brief synopsis of how it works:

You are the owner of a Formula One team with a budget of £48,000,000 for the 2010 season. To complete your team, you need to pick three drivers (two official drivers and a 3rd driver), a chassis and an engine. You must also pick a bonus GP which will score double points for your team at that race.

Points are awarded throughout the race weekend and are detailed below.

Only the first chassis and engine that crosses the line scores points for your team. Chassis scores are 1st-10th: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. Engine scores are 1st-4th: 25-18-15-12.
Drivers points are the same as the chassis scores with two extras:
The pole position is rewarded with 2 extra points for the driver who obtains it. The fastest lap is rewarded with 1 extra point.

A race disqualification loses you all points for the disqualified driver/chassis/engine for that race weekend.

Whoever scores the most points wins the GP. I then total the points throughout the season and the team with the most points wins!

Once complete please choose a name for your team and then post your entry on the forum.

I also have an exciting announcement for this season:

We finally have a working website! (yay! :D ). Please point your browsers here: http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/

To find the price list and the complete rules please visit the website. If you look around you will notice the results from last season’s grand prix’s. These will be up until the start of the GP weekend in Bahrain, at which time I will erase them in order to make way for the 2010 season.

You have until the end of March 10th, 2010 to submit your team.
Good luck everyone!

I wanted to put this separate from the Welcoming post:

I run FGP according to what the FIA publishes. This means that if a driver or team gets a penalty that everyone dislikes I will still remove those points. I am consistent with FGP, even if the FIA sometimes is not. :)

Second - I know there are a lot of rumors about teams and their entries into F1. I also know that two teams are missing their second driver and one is in "danger" of losing his seat.

I go by the official FIA list for teams and the official announcement of driver signings by the teams. This way I can rule out speculation and confusion if something changes. For now the two missing drivers are listed as Campos - TBD and USF1 - TBD.

If/when these drivers are named these entries will be changed but that should not stop anyone from choosing them as the prices will not change.

Therefore, please do not ask to be allowed to choose a chassis for a team currently not in F1 for your fantasy team.

Also, please do not sign as your third driver anyone who may end up on a team as a racing driver before the season begins. I am primarily thinking of Christian Klien, Jacques Villeneuvue, and Ralf Schumacher.

If that person does get a race seat he will be worth more than 1 million and you would have to change your team's configuration; which might be a bad thing if we are near the deadline!

Thanks.

Thanks and I shall. This year my team will be posted last. I felt that being first last year was an unfair advantage since I created the price list, so this year I decided that I should be last to post.

This year's team has been put together with the utmost thought given to planning and design.

After years of failure and also-rans such as MillionsF1, Arkansas Chugabug, and Mika Hakkinen Whoops, POS F1 sponsored by HP is moving into its second year of stability and competitiveness.

This seasons team will be a stark departure, not only from previosu years but from the other teams entered in this seasons FGP.

Without further adieu, here is the lineup for the 2010 edition of POS F1 sponsored by HP:

Our first driver is none other than Adrian Sutil, who came into his own last season and looks to be moving up in the FGP pecking order. (cost - 9 mill)

Our second driver is young Tonio Liuzzi, who showed good form for Force India last year and is looking to drive into the points this season. (cost - 6 mil)

POS' third and reserve driver is the talented Paul DiResta who claimed that "my first run in the new car was impressive" and he is stoked about POS' chance this season. )cost - 1 mil

The car itself was designed and built by the Red Bull Racing team, who finished runner up in 2009. They hope to move up one place in 2010. (cost - 20 mil)

Finally, the powerplant is the mighty Renault engine. Powering it's namesake team and the aforementioned Red Bull, the Renault engine is poised to blow away the competition in style this season. (cost - 12 mil)

There you have it. With Suzuka, Japan as our bonus GP, POS F1 sponsored by HP is looking to go better than last season because, anything is better than last!

POS F1 sponsored by HP:
Sutil
Liuzzi
Di Resta
Red Bull
Renault
Japan

Shifter

19th February 2010, 23:31

Nice. I was eyeing Liuzzi for his underapreaciated talent but I just don't know what to make of F.I. I was kind of thinking someone would make a team like yours.

N. Jones

20th February 2010, 21:27

Well, lots of people are taking Ferrari in some capacity so I wanted to do something different.

I'm not too excited about FI but seeing how well they did in the later stages of '09 I thought I would give them a chance.

Yeah, I knew that would happen since he is the cheapest out of the eight drivers in the "top four" teams. I though about putting Michael down there too but ultimately decided against it.

Bonus GP selection always fascinates me. While looking for duplicates I always sort by bonus GP and without giving too much away, here is a list of GPs that have yet to be selected:

Malaysia
China
Spain
Europe
South Korea
UAE

I'll give a list of all bonus GP's and their amounts once the entry date is past. I will also be keeping track on the website of who has used their bonus GP by means of the asterisk.

Here is another interesting stat:

Out of the fifty two teams only eleven do not have Alonso or Massa as one of their race drivers.

No one choose HRT, of course, but not one team choose Virgin either. Three teams took a chance on Lotus.

Two choose STR and Sauber.
Three put faith in Renault.
Four choose Force India.
Five choose Williams.

Tons of people chose McLaren and Ferrari, as usual. :)
What is interesting is that the top two teams from last year were chosen only seven times.
None of those are Mercedes GP!

Why get a Mercedes GP chassis when a Mercedes engine will score as many points plus has multiple teams supporting it?

My original strategy was to get a Cosworth engine as a matter of quantity. This went out the window when things started to go bad for USF1 and Campos.

That is true. I just thought it was strange that no one choose the Mercedes Chassis.

This type of team could have been put together:

Kobayashi
Petrov
3rd driver
Mercedes GP
Mercedes
That equals 48. We could replace Kobayashi with Algeursuari too.
OR, we could have Liuzzi and Hulkenberg (still 48 total) instead of Kamui and Petrov.
Or de la Rosa and Hulkenberg (that = 47), or de la Rosa and Petrov (= 46) if we do not want to use all 10 "million" remaining.

Yeah, this team has midfield players at the best of times but it boasts what looks like a podium team in the former Brawn GP and the Mercedes engine, where you win regardless due to it powering two strong teams and one on the rise.

N. Jones

12th March 2010, 17:51

My original strategy was Ferrari drivers, Virgin, Mercedes. But too many people were taking the drivers I wanted and no one was taking Red Bull Renault, so I thought I would take a risk and go with total Force India drivers and Red Bull.

So far, looking just at practice, my chassis/engine curse is working it's magic on Red Bull!

I hoped Kobayashi could score the couple extra points needed to complement the rest of my team, but now I have doubts that Sauber are a points-scoring team at all.

An excellent weekend for the Kobayashi Maru boys. 4th place in Malaysia and mid table overall about 20 points behind the highest placed team not to used their bonus yet.

N. Jones

6th April 2010, 03:12

I forgot who said it but a lot of teams are hurting because it looks like the Saubers are not as good as we were led to believe during winter testing!

Shifter

6th April 2010, 05:29

I figured the Saubers weren't the fastest but I also figured that Kobayashi would have his ups and downs and score a couple of points out of youthful exuberance. I didn't count on the Saubers being unreliable, not with the Ferrari engines...last year the BMW squad wasn't quick enough but they weren't unreliable, but now they are.

52Paddy

6th April 2010, 13:05

Yeah, I expected at least regular points finishes from Sauber but, even when they finish, they don't have that pace they showed in winter testing. It was clearly a sponsorship-hunting tactic. I also expected more from Toro Rosso. In all fairness to them though, they have upped their game and I think they'll score more regularly by mid-season. The car seems competitive, the drivers just need a bit more experience. I'm obviously happy with Alonso and my Mercedes engines but the other two factors need to improve if he want to move up the leader-board.

N. Jones

6th April 2010, 17:32

With four teams regularly fighting for the podium and now Renault fighting to get there as well (or at least they are fighting for 4th-6th) it doesn't leave many high scoring places for the teams we had to choose to fill out our teams.

Force India, Williams, Sauber, and STR are all fighting for 7th-10th.

This makes it hard to find a consistent team, outside of choosing Ferrari or McLaren.

After a surprisingly satisfying start to the season, we move onto Europe with the hope that we will keep pace at the front of the field.

Having used our home GP advantage in Melbourne, we know that certain teams will close the gap and possibly over take us on the top of the points list..

Wow, 9th overall in the race. If these European races go better for Ferrari/RedBull than the Asia/Pacific ones, then perhaps I can get out of the bottom half of the overall.

Well, Ferrari won the first race and from there McLaren have been on every podium, so that is where your points are coming from.

It is kind of strange to see the points so high due to this new system and I think it causes everyone to be a lot closer than they normally would have been.

I moved up from 41st to 35th overall. The Red Bull's are doing exactly what I had hoped.

Going great guns for team Kobay Maru. Up to 24th after two top ten showings in a row. Now if our teams namesake would start picking up the odd point we'd be all set.

Wishing I didn't have so long to wait for my bonus GP now (japan) :(

Yes, going with Red Bull/Renault instead of following the normal Ferrari/McLaren line (which is where all of the top teams are :( ) has been very rewarding for me this season.

My FI drivers are what's really holding me back...

I just opened this thread and realised I hadnt seen the results since spain, so I was amazed to see I had won in monaco!

10th place in the standings, well top 10 is where I aimed at so I'm on course. Just gotta hope that sauber continue on from today and boost mine and their own points scores!

Shifter

30th May 2010, 23:25

Of all the races for RedBull to screw themselves out of winning it's my bonus race lol. Regained a couple of those lost points by both my drivers gaining a position because of it, but still...

The bonus weekend puts me into 13th, now lets see how well Blue Ridge Eng. can hang on through the rest of the season.

30th May 2010, 23:30

sadly my drivers were Alonso and Petrov and I was hoping that they would not tangle so I could collect points from both, but it was not to be.

N. Jones

31st May 2010, 01:20

I'm 31st overall I think..... no thanks to Red Bull :mad: .

BUT, I am slowly climbing. Now if only Force India would stop going backward I might make a run at the top 20!!

52Paddy

31st May 2010, 22:18

Not a good weekend for me. De La Rosa had a very quiet run and Alonso was shockingly off the pace. Toro Rosso had an uninspired run. But my engine supplier, Mercedes, at least gave me something to cheer about this weekend, even if I'd still rather that the Red Bulls hadn't tangled.

52Paddy

14th June 2010, 14:19

A much better weekend for me, aided heavily by Alonso's podium finish and Mercedes engines finishing 1-2, 6th and 9-10 (how does that work exactly?). I thought both Toro Rosso drivers put in great performances but didn't claim many points unfortunately. De La Rosa is really hurting my 2nd driver spot.

N. Jones

14th June 2010, 17:48

First engine to score gets you the points.

Hamilton won so everyone with a Mercedes engine gets 25 points.
The second engine to cross was Alonso's Ferrari, so everyone with that engine gets 18 points.

Make sense?

Well De La Rosa finally aided my bid today with his first points. Alonso could have been so much better though. If those 9 drivers get penalised, will the FGP results be altered to comply?

Before I post the results of today's grand prix I must announce a correction:

DazzalaF1: Looking back on the results it looks like I shafted your team six points due to my inability to spell "Kobayashi". I have given these points back and reconfigured the standings for both Turkey and Europe. You are no longer last or near the bottom in either GP.

Sadly the return of these six points does not move you out of 52nd and last in the overall standings.
