The 'Ruined Dreams' Game

Post by pasta_maldonado »

No, this does not involve cutting little kid's ballons at Disneyland or anything like that :)

The game is, someone posts their F1 'dream', and then the next person adds something to ruin that dream. Poster #2 then posts their dream, and so on, and so on....

For example, if I started with 'Romain Grosjean will dominate the Indian Grand Prix', the next person to post could say: 'BUT.....He is disqualified for going 1 mm over the track limits'. They would ten write their dream, and so on, and so on!

The 'dreams' could be about anything and anyone related to F1, past or present, and the replies can be as ludicrous as you like! :)

I'll start : 'Max Chilton will score a point at the Indian Grand Prix'

Only to be disqualified for being underweight, as it was only cloudy and all the water on the circuit was actually from his secret ballast tank.

Stefan F1 will finally be granted a grid-slot for 2014!

But he buckles under pressure at Force India, making his return forgetful, and he gets the sack two thirds in.

Button and Pérez are sacked by McLaren and sign Magnussen and Vandoorne for 2016.

But it shows why he is so inconsistent, and shows that he is not top gun.

Jules Bianchi and Nico Hülkenberg will duke it out to see who will eclipse all of Schumacher's records.

As both of you mention Jules Bianchi i will try to combine them.

It turns out Bianchi was signed as the new Red Bull DJ and sold more records than Jacques Villeneuves most recent album, sold in an auction by Schumacher.

Rubens Barichello will find a drive for 2014.
