Pretty sad display from my team. Hopefully it will be better next race.

Yeah but it was a grand prix that had plenty of retirements, which meant that it threw up some unusual results, such as Ide and Sato, drivers who people only picked for their low cost scored the most points. We'll have to see at Imola if things are different.

Some riders only had to thank themselves for having to retire like schumacher and montoya. But it is much more fun with some unexpected things then every race is the same dull thing
David Coulthard is the best !!!!!

Press Release

Team Hugh-Jazz

Sunday Quotes

Hugh_Jazz (Team Prinicpal)

We had some difficulties today, with Klien being knocked out on the first lap and then crashing on lap 7. With Luzzi we feel that he was just unlucky . We are glad that Nick Heidfeld made it to fourth place, but without that one mistake and going into the grass it could have been 2nd place for him and the first time that Sauber has been on the podium. We like to thank Toyota and Renault for a great race and we like to thank the team for collecting us some points. We are not in a strong position right now, but we will keep on pushing and are looking forward to the Race in Imola.”

Heywood Jablome (Technical Director)
It seem that Klien had a brake problem and smashed into the wall, we are still investigating it. With Luzzi we care not to comment his race as of this moment. We are glad that Nick got us some points for us and we like to thank Renault with there 1st, and 5th position and Toyota with a 3rd. We look forward to the new race where we will get a new spec-engine for fisi and also new suspension and bardge-boards for renault and other improvements for other teams.

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.

Rhode Island Red Racing,
Melbourne Race Report:

Our lead driver, Giancarlo, struggled with cronic uncurable understeer throughout the race after a stall from second on the grid, possibly due to a faulty clutch. However he finished a valiant fifth.

Who were my other drivers? Oh yes.

Nico had a hard qualifying session, being held up by traffic, however managing 14th.He unlucky to be punted from behind in turn two through no fault of his own. Unfortunetly this damaged the diffuser and suspension meaning it would have been dangerous to continue.

Ide drove a terrific race despite battling with a bad setup and finished only his third race in a very respectable thirteenth, having come from the back of the grid.

The Ferrari customer engine is being fine tuned but one of them did complete all 57laps whereas the Renault chassis couldn't have been better.

I forsee wins in the future.

Translation.

Fisi hated the feel of the car and descided to moan rather than drive the damn thing.

Roseburg was crap in quallifying, we were expecting at least the top 10.
He then got in Massa's way in turn two and the merchanics couldn't be arsed fixing the car.

Ide capitalised on the mistakes of others but was completly uncompetitive.

The new engine is --- and blowing up canstantly, while the Reanault chassis is the only thing working.

I reakon we will always be near the back and never amount to anything, like SA and MF1.

Some cock in a suit pretending he's something by putting 'director' behind his name.

This is just a suggestion

I was thinking of when the season is at it's half point, that we are allowed to have one trade in regards to a driver. The previous points that you had with all your drivers stands, but you can now choose a new driver for the rest of the season as long as you are not over budget. Just a suggestion, could be stupid could be good so lets here those replies.

I'm liking the team reports. Very proffessional, almost.

I agree with M3Lover, at some point we should be able to make changes to the teams, not just drivers though. As in American baseball fantasy leagues that allow player trades.

Of course to make it fair to those who do not change, make it cost say 5% of team points earned to that point in the game.
