F1 Caption Game - Archive ThreadFormula 1

Imagine that. Only four race wins away from claiming first place (If those wins came in my scoreless rounds).

An exhausting season. In all ways. We ran out of tech articles for the website fifteen races in... luckily I scored a few in the home stretch, but not enough to get in the top five.

Congrats. And, oh, Happy something-something, @Touring Mars !

 

[Lizard]

So after missing most of the year I end with a win. Wow.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Top 10, can't complain.

Oh wait I can - no win

So 2010, 2011 and 2012 were Williams 2012 performances (1 win and lots of no scores), whereas this year was a Williams 2014.

 

[TheBook]

8th in my first full season? Scored points in quite a few rounds? Got my first win? Yeah, I'll take it.

Lewis swaps his telemetry videos with Max Mosley's private video collection.

"Leave me alone, I know what I'm... Oh no wait, my ankles really hurt."

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.

I don't always crash, but when I do i make sure I delay the race

Will Buxton: "Kimi, you were limping severely as you stepped out of the car. Can you tell us what was injured?

Cheers And thank you for taking part - it would really not be the same without a good number of people playing!

Force India shows off their new picnic table!

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Following the success of Mercedes' policy of dictating driver strategy based on whoever has the most Twitter followers, Lewis decided to reach out to the hipster community.​

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Lewis' wants to be the new Professor in 2015

 

[Flex0r]

Hipster Hamilton, winning Grand Prix before it was cool.

It worked for Clark Kent.

Hands up who thinks we've got a good looking livery this year.

Ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence, Fernando?

...

Eh... What?

 

[BKGlover]

To save money after signing Alonso, McLaren made some "unnoticeable" budget cuts.

Sorry, wanted to give this a shot.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

After starring in McLaren's Back to the Future short, Fernando's face has locked itself in a permanent state of cringe.​

 

[prisonermonkeys]

"Is that a McLaren or a Force India? McLaren ... or Force India? McLaren, or ...
...
...
Those cunning bastards!"​

 

[zed300]

Fernando!!!!! We're supposed to be standing up for this shot.
