Throwing in with a relative newcomer is a risky move - especially when you can't cash in if he rises in value.

Good luck to you in The League Jo!

This is a seriously stupid idea. Before there were two legit strategies: (1) large number of drivers on high lap count races; or (2) fewer high priced gunners. Now there is only one legit strategy to win. The successful people from last year were the ones who lucked into Brawn using strategy (1). There won't be another Brawn this year so (1) was already seriously weaken, this move all but kills it.

(1) could be modified to be the most Q2 drivers, but (and I haven't done the math yet) this will most likely be cost prohibitive. The season will be over for 95% of us after three races, the only people to be still in the hunt will be the lucky few who picked the right 2 high profile drivers.
