Ha! I know. I have felt bad all day because of it. But I can still pick him up again if the need arises.

The problem is that a 4-driver lineup is at a severe disadvantage. It is the worst overall setup. As has been proven, 5 and even 6 driver lineups are much more effective. Hell, even a 3 driver lineup where you just pocket the extra points from your unused budget can land you in the top 10.

The 4 driver strategy - that I heavily touted and invested in - is not a winner. At least not right now.

But can't you recouperate some lost money by trading out a guy you bought low and sold high? I think so.

4 drivers would work great, if this was last year. until the big boys get their act together there is strength in numbers.

LH will contend for pole and the championship again in another GP or two. They just fell behind pace a bit because of the diffuser issue; it slower pace and it's hard on the tires. Once they fix that, which I'm sure they are manufacturing and designing as we type, McLaren will be right up ther. One thing, though, is these new rules. Did you guys notice 1) how much movement there was during qualifying and 2) how close the pack raced yesterday??!!!! The rules have made the race seem much more competitive. There are more constructors fighting it out at the top. I don't think Kubica is running KERS or the better diffuser, and he should have taken 3rd. Very competitive season under way. It seems like it's going to be a battle from week to week.

I am new to following F1 in this level of detail. My intuition is telling me that Brawn is not a one trick pony, and that McLaren and Ferrari are not going to take this week's problems lightly.

Some people back in England and Modena will be getting their asses chewed out - BIG TIME, and changes will be made very quickly. McLaren and Ferrari are the class of F1 and will adapt quickly. I am sticking with my 4 car strategy. My only change was dumping Vettel and picking up Button, a move I was going to make, and should have made last week. Time will tell if it works.

Being able to discuss F1 and play this league with people from all parts of the world is really cool. Thank you Dana, Hamad and Alex for setting this league up.

The same thing happened to me and Alzilla. I dropped Lewis just to see what I could add in his place. Then I realized that the move was final. In the NASCAR league you can move your drivers around and see how it affects your budget. But nothing is final until you SAVE your roster. I mistakenly thought that Fantasy Racers would have something like that too. Wrong.

Now I have to use my calculator to figure it out before I make the move. I have sent an email to the admins over there suggesting this.

We can't complain much - after all, it's free.
