At the wrong places. It's fixed now. Notice the little liberties I took with the race names.

No, no, I was ROTY. I was being pathetic while my teammate came second! I only beat Chris Dagnall to second-last because he had bad luck in his two races!

Today, reports have come from the FBI that disgraced F1RWRS driver Tristan Jung has been arrested after being found in the city of Domar in northern Bangladesh. Jung was on the run after being indicted on money laundering charges last week. Jung is expected to also be charged with obstruction of justice and resisting arrest.

Dude, I'm a three time F1 world champion. I was expected to be more than an anonymous midfielder.
CHRIS DAGNALL PROTEGÉ SET FOR DEBUT?
Latest rumours in the F1RWRS paddock say that Nathan Scott, the 2012 F25000 champion and currently leading the way in Formula Nippon, could make an early jump to F1RWRS debuting as a second driver at the new Garry Rogers Motorsport, alongside fed-up-with-former-bosses driver Frank Zimmer. "It would be an amazing opportunity for me". "The F.Nippon calendar makes it a bit tight, but the championship here is almost secure and I´m sure my sponsors would be quite pleased to move up the ladder as well". Other rumoured drivers are former F1 driver Jack Christopherson and current Phoenix driver Jari Kekkonen.

In another addition to the rumour mill surrounding the vacant seat at new F1RWRS team Garry Rogers Motorsport, the girlfriend and acomplished racer of Damon Cannon, the lead driver at perennial no-hopers Shock Of The Lightning Motorsport, Poppy Whitechapel, has been linked to the seat, alongside Frank Zimmer, the Australian driver often described as 'cocksure' by several other drivers in the paddock. Miss Whitechapel, 20, would be making the jump up from GP2 should GR Motorsport take her on.
"I was hoping to take an seat in F1 next season, but the arrogance of that Lewis Hamilton chap, who thinks it's perfectly alright to ram people off the road that are ahead of him, and that dull Kraut Sebastian Vettel with his silly finger celebration have really put me off F1. I hope to show my talents in a better car than the wreck I'm driving in GP2 at the moment, and help the team move forward". Whitechapel thus joins Jack Christopherson, Jari Kekkonen and Nathan Scott in contention for the seat.

KEKKONNEN OUT, MIGNOLET IN
The FRWRS branch of Team Phoenix has made the shock announcement today that Finnish driver Jari Kekkonnen has been replaced in the team by ex-F1 driver, Belgian Ron Mignolet.
"Mignolet brings a healthy amount of credits to our team, which will come in handy to develop our car, certainly", Phoenix McAllister, driver and head of Team Phoenix, stated. "But, Ron has been in F1, I raced against him some years back in fact, and he's quite good too", finished.
"The split with Kekkonnen has been done in amicable terms. He understands our plight, and has willingly stepped down. I am very grateful with him and I wish him well for the future".
Mignolet comes with some funds from the Belle Vue brewery, as well as Sprimoglass and Bastos. These logos will be seen on the overalls of both the drivers and the crew of the team.
It is rumoured that Kekkonnen may take the role of reserve driver at Jones Racing.
GRM press release wrote:*Random publicocrap.* And finally, GRM would like to take this oppurtunity to announce that the second driver for the team will be Nathan Scott, who we hope will be able to show his skills for the team. We would also like to offer a test driving role to Poppy Whitechapel, who ran a close second in our deliberations.
Autosport wrote:Jones Turns Down Kekkonnen
Sammy Jones has snubbed the opportunity to sign Jari Kekkonnen, recently dumped by Team Phoenix, as a test driver, for his F1RWRS team, Castrol Jones Racing.
"To be quite honest I wouldn't take up an offer of free biscuits from that hopeless bunch of monkeys running Team Phoenix" Sammy blasted, "they're almost destined to fall into pre-qualifying for the second half of the season, and I sincerely hope they remain there, never to return to the grid and blight the image of the F1RWRS ever again."
He added, "We certainly don't require a test driver at the moment, and if we shall, we'll be looking for someone who hasn't been tainted by either Kamaha or Team Phoenix management practices!"

Grease Monkey Magazine wrote:"THE CAR IS A PIECE OF TURD," SAYS ARROWTECH OWNER
Following Arrowtech's "anonymous" race, as quoted by Daniel Martins, The Fox has already gone ahead to say that the ArrowTech AT-03 is a piece of turd. "We're already looking to build next year's car. Hopefully the currently unnamed car will be far faster than the current one. From what I see, we're firing our designer and replacing him soon enough. We'll announce the new designer of the new car after this race." Some workers, and many fans, are quite puzzled at The Fox's comments, because this season, for ArrowTech, has been the best they've ever had. With the media now saying that the back of the grid isn't far away, the fans have become disgruntled on the preformance of ArrowTech recently. Neither Martins or Melrose were available to comment on the new ArrowTech car for next season.

Mori hit back at Jones after he said that "we'll be looking for someone who hasn't been tainted by either Kamaha or Team Phoenix management practices!" by pointing out that Jones took no time snapping up the sacked Kay Lon, "Jones is a bit of an idiot with a mouth that opens before his brain gets into gear. After this race, I am sure we will see him in court as we sue our ex driver. As for the qualifying, 18th and 23rd is not where we want to be but I think with some bad luck on the part of the others we could get some points.
