The latter.
I wanted to call it "Bishop William Van Mildert Racing Team", but apparently that was too many characters...

First race is over and accounted for. Congratulations to
Kimster Racing, which won the race, followed by
Schlesser of Two Evils Racing, and
Mega-Aguri and
TWNSNBM GP tied at third place.
By the way, the owner of Kimster Racing is damn lucky. His three drivers just happen to be the same three ppl that went to the podium
Reject of the race was Taku 2: Electric Boogaloo
See ya next race.

I had Alonso in my team until Friday, when I decided his sideburns were not cool, and changed him for Webber. Hence the result - oh dear.

I notice our league hasn't even made the top 50 personal league yet. Whatever, we can still be the rejects of Fantasy Racers.

Don't worry about it. According to my calculations, our league is 100 points away from the 50th. They'll only show the full ranking after the season is over. Last year, there were 224 leagues.
And it's only the first race. Panda Racing (Sidepodcast) always wins on the leagues, but they're 12th after the first race, so...

Australia is over. First place goes to rozlansuhaila, which took the lead.
Second place is shared by Triple 888 and Blastcorp F1, a late starter.
Third place belongs to Coloni's Crusaders.
Fantasy Reject of the race was LCM Barato.

Darn you Webber and Sutil! We would have been the "best" team this race if it wasn't for you two having good races! Petrov DNF'd and I had Alonso, and that speaks for itself.

In some unexplainable fashion, I'm getting competitive in this game. Jumped from 18th to 10th (and from 29th at Australia since the page eated a driver entry (for free at least)).
How are you faring? I can't associate your teams to forum avatars in some cases.

Despite not changing my driver line-up, I am doing rather well: second in the F1Rejects league!
Would be in front if it weren't for my last-minute decision to ditch Alonso for Webber and keep the change.
So far only Hulkenberg is rather letting the side down.

If LCM Barato's going to be so rubbish, I might as well be Reject of the Race. Unfortunately one of the teams below me has the Mercedes drivers and only the Mercedes drivers...

I almost went for Hulkenberg in the pre-season. Instead I went for the other Williams of Barrichello.
The only changes in the first 4 races I did was replacing Kobayashi for Buemi post Australia and replacing Barrichello for Sutil post China.

Vettel's result, plus Webber's, Rosberg's and Hulkenberg's shocking weekends dropped me back to second. Shame.

Locked in strategy 2 (lazy, you see?), so I kind of need Vettel to miss some GPs and the Nicos to come back on song.

I'm just lurching from race to race with no inherant pattern whatsoever
That might be partially because I've made so many changes as you are about to see:
Pre-Bahrain:
4. N. Rosberg
9. R. Barrichello
11. R. Kubica
23. K. Kobayashi
Team as of right now:
2. J. Button
11. R. Kubica
14. A. Sutil
17. J. Alguersuari

ROTY will go (if data is available) to the team which will have the lowest points average (points divided by races entered) over the whole season.

Doing quite well for being on Strategy 1 and not changing anything for at least 3 months. Now switched Petrov for Sutil, wished I'd done that earlier. My new team is
1. Hamilton
2. Webber
3. Sutil
4. Kobayashi
If anyone wants to know, the F1 Rejects league is a very average 231st in the standings (after about 10 minutes of browsing).

Still locked in strategy 2, with Webber, Rosberg, Hamilton and Hulkenberg. After this round I'm in front of razta again... by 5 points! It's incredibly close!

I think it's safe to say ROTR for Hungary will be a joint award between Me and Nuppiz for scoring 173 and 172 points respectively
