That's why I said possible. Anyone who followed GP2 last season knows that he is a very capable driver, so for the price he was a pretty good choice IMO.

There are also a lot of points going for engine results and the engine prices are very similar so to me the Renault donk was an easy choice
Yeah I found that out when picking my team... I felt that it was pretty pointless buying the best driver (e.g M.Schumacher, Alonso etc. ) and spending nearly have of the budget on them. When its only one driver who's not always going to bring back consistent points......It's much better, (I think anyway) to spend the money on the constructor and engine, which will score more points.
Anyway that's my thinking behind my team---Hope it's right
yes STR are the only team running the V-10's this year
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
Button is going to win this game for someone I'm sure, he's excellent performance for the money, and very importantly, he's reliable. Almost never ends a race because of a mistake and drives a reliable car (so far).
My team could have been better though, as I said to Principessa that regarding the points that can be earned, it would have been a lot better to get the cheapest engine and chassis, and get good reliable drivers. The drivers after all earn way more points!!
I think I chose too much like a team boss looking at the long term for future talent. However I reakon Roseburg will do me proud. After seeing him in GP2, I know he will be a star, perhaps even a win this year. The optimism card.

Tell a man there are 300 million stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure.
i havent read the fine print but we do we get points for all of the different combonations that we have picked.
like if rosberg scores points in aust then all of us who have him as our driver gets points as well, if this is the case why pick the old v10 as there is only one team running them???
