The New F1
My brother does this fantasy F1 thing at his work with these three girls he works with. He’s obviously cherrypicking here – since he watches every F1 qualifying and every F1 race, he thinks he can destroy these three girls in fantasy F1 because he knows so much more about F1 than they do.
(My brother has a different approach to women than I do. Historically, I always tried to treat them nice, because I wanted them to pay attention to me. He always tried to treat them like crap, because he wanted them to go away. Of course, he always had girls falling over themselves to worship him, whereas with me they always sprinted away from me like creeping death. When I got to college I started treating girls badly, against my nature, and then they started paying attention. And of course, the girl I liked the most, I treated her the worst, so she would marry me, and it worked out great.
Hey, girls, its true. Don’t blame me – you girls are the ones that make it this way.)
Anyway, it is really funny that my brother is doing this, because his all-Finn fantasy F1 team totally got pwned this week, and he is currently in LAST PLACE in his fantasy F1 league.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Ah, I can’t blame him. I mean, who in their right mind would have said, going into the first race in Melbourne, “Hmm. Yeah, probably the Brawn team will rock! Surely they will sweep the top two qualifying spots as well as the top two podium spots! Surely Brawn, Toyota, Williams, and Red Bull will be the fastest teams! Surely McLaren will be competing with Force India for worst team on the grid!”
Seriously – who would’ve thought? Brawn GP is the former Honda factory team. The team that competed with Force India last year for worst team on the grid. The team whose car sucked so badly that they weren’t even competitive with the Super Aguri team who was running Honda’s customer engine and previous year chassis. And who in their right mind would have ever voted against Ferrari and McLaren being at the top of the charts? They’ve dominated F1 for years now!
I expect by about mid-season we’ll see Ferrari and McLaren dominating like before – those teams adjust so well. But who knows? Would it be so bad if any team except Force India was able to win? This might be the start of a really exciting and interesting season, even if the cars do look a little weird.
