Time to Upgrade Your Fantasy F1 Team
By Jamie Makin
August 8 2005
It's been a long and hard fought Formula One season so far. The unpredictability of the on-track action has made for some very close scores in our SauberSpeak.co.uk Fantasy F1 League.
By now you've surely been wishing you had done things a bit differently for your team(s). You've seen who's strong, who's weak, who's consistent and who's unreliable. You have a chance to make these important changes now before the final six races.
On this and every other FF1 site you will now find a menu option titled 'Modify'. You can choose to sell any part of your team at the price you paid earlier in the season. You can then buy a replacement part, at its current price.
So, to use the BAR-Talk.com team as an example again, you could sell Button and Sato, getting $28m in the process. If you're then feeling confident, you
could replace them with any two drivers up to the value of $28m, such as Räikkönen ($20m) and Monteiro ($8m).
The same can be done with chassis, engine and tyres. The full prices are listed above the entry form, and there's a handy calculator built in to the
page, too.
If you have forgotten your team's details, there is an email and message board thread link to Phil Huff of BAR-Talk.com, the administrator for this league, who will help you out. He will also be verifying all entries manually.
This should be everything you need to know to modify your team(s). Just remember to do so before the Turkish Grand Prix at the end of the summer break. Unless you're happy with your team, then there is no need to re-enter anything.
