Looks like Williams will be depending on just Rosberg in Malaysain GP.


From F1-

Nakajima had a more eventful race, finding himself caught up in two incidents further down the field, the latter of which - when he ran into the rear of Robert Kubica's BMW Sauber - earned him a ten-place grid penalty for next weekend's Malaysia race.

Nevertheless, the Japanese driver was more than happy to have scored points in only his second Grand Prix. After the flag he moved up from seventh to sixth place thanks to Rubens Barrichello’s disqualification.

Just in...

Seems Trulli's battery problem is still a concern going into Malaysian GP


F1- For driver Jarno Trulli, who had run as high as fifth during the Australian Grand Prix, the result was especially disappointing. Especially as the battery problem, which ended his race on Lap 20, remains a cause for concern ahead of this weekend’s Malaysian event…

i was very pleased w/ sundays race. i think it offered a great preview of whats to come this season, it also shows that its not 2 team show this year, the performance of BMW, Williams, Honda, Torro Rosso and Renault in Melbourne were fantastic and hopefully continues.

nobody has mentioned yet that this is the first time in 16 yrs Ferrari failed to score points!! LOL i wonder what a post RB Ferrari year will look like... time will tell.

lets do an evom fantasy F1 just like the nasioc guys do. they also do the pick 6 thing as well... but the yahoo fantasy is far bigger.

i'll even make a group for us to get things started (and sense i missed the first race on fantasy i start with 0 points going into the second race so you all will have a chance to get a head start on me if you already started).

Kimi

Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen believes the Italian team will quickly reemerge as championship contenders, despite their poor showing at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. Raikkonen and his team mate Felipe Massa retired from the Melbourne race after both their F2008s suffered engine troubles.

“I know that back in Maranello the team is working hard to solve our problems,” he told Ferrari’s official website. “I'm not worried at all about the performance and the competitiveness of the car. The first race was like it was, but we know that we have a really good car. I know that the team will never lose its focus. They've shown that already in the past - Ferrari will be back!”

ok, i made a group:

group name: evom.net
password: evoftw

to create your own team go to here

once signed in, go to create/join group: and enter the name and password above.


the way it works is, you pick 3 drivers for your "team", then you pick the real team you want as your "team".

points are scored based off of qualifying, and how they do in the race. you can only pick 1 "A" driver, and 2 "B" drivers, and you don't want to keep the same driver the entire year as your drivers can only start 4 races in a season (any more then that and they don't get any points for your team), so you will need to cycle through some of the different drivers through the year. the rules are here
