2015 Petronas Chemicals Malaysian Grand Prix I - Race

Penalty Points after the race:
#5 - Nico Rosberg - 5 (+5 for causing an avoidable accident involving the driver of car #6 (Fernando Alonso))
#14 - Romain Grosjean - 5
#74 - Felipe Massa - 10

-- Positives --
Nico Rosberg - even though he eliminated his team mate, he used his chances perfectly and wins.

Kevin Magnussen - placing a Marussia in second earns you the INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Romain Grosjean - good drive to earn Peugeot valueable points.

Lewis Hamilton - somehow carried the miserable Stefan to ninth.

André Lotterer - made the most of his chances down the road and got his first F1 points.

-- Negatives --
Sebastian Vettel - it should have been eighteen points, not four.

McLaren-Hyundai - screwing up with a car that is basically bound to earn 1-2s earns you the REJECT OF THE RACE award.

James James Davies - silly race which turns his engine failure into a mercy kill.

Sauber-Mercedes - double retirement is not good for business.

Valtteri Bottas - you cannot win a race on the first lap, but you sure can lose it.

www.formula1.com wrote:Second Malaysian Grand Prix Cancelled!

The FIA informed the public at 8:20 p.m. local time that the second Petronas Chemicals Malaysian Grand Prix is to be cancelled. Several cracks in the asphalt, which already affected race II, have been exposed as extremely dangeorus hazards due to a major rain storm hitting the track around 20 minutes after the end of the first race, won by Nico Rosberg.

So far there has been no date set for any potential running of the race at a later day. With the contract for the Malaysian Grand Prix coming to an end this season and no new deal being negotiated, the future of the race is very much in doubt.

OOC: For your advancement clauses, all teams will be awarded 20 points. The track is quite broken as the AI line tries to overtake in spots where it is just impossible.

F1 doesn't work in units of less than 1M. So it'd have to be 1M + 1M.

Marca wrote:Durango enters bankruptcy, Villeneuve Racing for sale

Racing preperation firm Durango, who are the major shareholder in Villeneuve Racing, and are in charge of operations of the Canadian team, have officially filed for bankruptcy.

The administrators that have been appointed to the Spanish firm have indicated they are looking for a buyer to take over Villeneuve Racing immediately as a going concern, in order to offload a significant amount of cash that would keep Durango's lower formulae efforts afloat.

TL;DR I have surrendered control of Villeneuve.

NBC Sports wrote:Haas Automation buy Villeneuve Racing

Gene Haas, founder of CNC tools specialists Haas Automation, has bought the Villeneuve Racing team.

Haas has been in a partnership with NASCAR driver Tony Stewart for a number of years with their Stewart-Haas outfit in the stock car series, and has been planning his own endeavors in Formula 1 for some months. After looking at a number of prospective areas in Europe to build his team, Haas has decided to buy the UK base of Villeneuve Racing from struggling Durango, and in addition has purchased the race operations for a nominal fee.

"We're glad to have found our home away from home, and this marks a new chapter in the beginning of the Haas F1 Team" said California-born Haas. "We've got all of the tools at home to design a fantastic Formula 1 racer, and in England we can make all the preparations to ensure this team is successful on-track."

"We bought the facilities from Durango for a seven-figure fee, and we decided to purchase the Villeneuve Racing team for a nominal £1 as per the deal" said Guenther Steiner, the Haas F1 team principal. "Durango have hit financial problems, and wanted to offload everything to do with the team."

"We decided to pick up the team as well, and we are in the process of deciding what to transfer to our own team and what to let go. We have no contractual obligation to keep anything for 2016 as they are Villeneuve contracts, not Haas contracts. However, there are things we would like to hang on to and the process for that will be tendered in due course."

It is unknown who Haas will sign supply deals with for next season. Although the team have confessed a desire to install an American driver in the team, it is again uncertain who they will sign. However, it is unlikely that Jacques Villeneuve will race for the team at Vancouver.

2015 Kawasaki United States Grand Prix II - Race

Penalty Points after the race:
#5 - Nico Rosberg - 10 (+5 for causing an avoidable accident involving the drivers of car #15 (Marc Gené))
#6 - Fernando Alonso - 5
#14 - Romain Grosjean - 5
#25 - Jenson Button - 5
#27 - Evgeny Restov - 3
#28 - Alexandre Voeckler - 2
#33 - Kevin Magnussen - 3

#74 - Felipe Massa - 24 (+9 for ignoring blue flags and causing an avoidable accident involving the drivers of car #32 (Felipe Nasr))

-- Positives --
Robert Kubica - overcame an horrible pit crew to score a reasonably dominant win.

Jenson Button - even if a third place in the RB11 is not an INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE in itself, this move alone earns it.

Alex Lynn - another job well done, Lynn seems to have a future in F1.

Ferrari - having two cars in the points is what the red guys need right now.

Sebastian Vettel - overcame a grid penalty to score healthy points for Caterham.

-- Negatives --
James James Davies - his drive seemed rather uninspired today.

Mercedes - they had a case of roid rage in Felipe Massa and Jeroen Krautmeir was awfully slow, earning them REJECT OF THE RACE.

Robin Frijns - at least his team mate got some healthy points.

Daniel Ricciardo - made a silly driver error and pushed his engine too hard: the pitfalls of being new to F1.

Jean-Éric Vergne - the Mahindra guys just refuse to learn, do they?

Caterham will develop a Gamma upgrade following the Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 17 Sep 2014, 00:26

After yet another disappointing performance, Felipe Massa has been fired with immediate effect, while Jeroen Krautmeir has decided to move up into team management on a full-time basis. As a result, they will be replaced with Nico Muller and Jules Bianchi until the end of the season

Just to inform you that I will be on holiday from 20.09. to 01.10. So unless I find decent wi-fi, I may be missing for a while.

In that case I would suggest you determine a driver to replace JJD or Frijns, should that prove necessary, beforehand, otherwise the standard Alt-F1 replacement Adriano Nicchi will do the job.

You can only afford to fire either Massa or Krautmeir right now. You want to wait until the next GP weekend?
