Congratulations to @GTP_Ingram for winning the 2015 GTPlanet F1 Caption Competition

Well done to the other podium finishers, 'race' winners, and Top 10 finishers, and thanks to everyone who played and voted this season. 👍

Special thanks to @Liquid for running the competition in my absence!

Until next time...​

​

 

[Flex0r]

Congrats @GTP_Ingram

And of course thanks to @Touring Mars for hosting the competition again and thanks @Liquid for filling in in his absence! :tup:

Happy to be in the top 10 again.
Didn't expect to be in the top 10 as I forgot to enter a few captions.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Happy with fourth place and a race win.
Thanks to @Touring Mars and @Liquid for not only running the game, but for putting up with my constant bumps and requests.

 

[Touring Mars]

I should also say thanks to you too @Jimlaad43, since I often had to be reminded to update these threads!!

By way of thanks, I'll be taking you up on your suggestion of having a special vote to find the Caption Of The Year soon, so stay tuned 👍

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Pretty pleased with a top ten finish and a win. I keep improving so this year, I'm aiming for the top five.

 

[TheBook]

SO close to a top ten. Oh well, there's always next year.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Yaaay thanks Five wins and 134 points in the last seven rounds might just have been the turning point in my season..

I'd like to thank @Touring Mars and @Liquid for running the comp, everyone who captioned (and those who voted for me!), and all of the Formula 1 circus, whose zany escapades were worthy of our ridicule.

 

[Jimlaad43]

By way of thanks, I'll be taking you up on your suggestion of having a special vote to find the Caption Of The Year soon, so stay tuned 👍

Legend!

 

[Furinkazen]

Top 10. Decent. Furi wasn't very funny this year by his own admission.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I had a complete Red Bull of a season. I blame Renault.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Congrats to the Podium finishers; and thanks to Touring Mars for all the work and Liquid for his work filling in for Mars 👍👍; glad I got some points in the last few races; hope to have a new funnycaption engine contract(but not Honda!) for next season.

 

[Liquid]

5th. Those DNSes in the last four rounds or so really cost me. I could have still been in touch with the top 3...

 

[Jimlaad43]

By way of thanks, I'll be taking you up on your suggestion of having a special vote to find the Caption Of The Year soon, so stay tuned 👍

I should also say thanks to you too @Jimlaad43, since I often had to be reminded to update these threads!!

 

[Flex0r]

Quite the impatient one, are we.

Entries​

Hey Christian! Your Renault contract emergency exits are here, here and here!

--

Romain is terrified as he considers the consequences of stealing Bernie Ecclestone's bath towel.

--

Lewis: "You Germans just love to correct other people's mistakes, don't you."

Nico: "Technically I'm only half German."

--

Police in Milton Keynes arrest Stevenage man, 30, after a break-in at the Red Bull HQ

"If you think this cup's big, wait until you see the two girls..."

--

We're hiring Webber.

--

Bottas tells his teammate the ancient proverb: "Stay five yards from a Ferrari, ten yards from a Mercedes, and a hundred yards from a pissed-off Vettel, but the distance you should stay away from Maldonado cannot be measured."

--

"There was a call for you from Maranello but we couldn't quite make out what they wanted over all the laughing."

--

"I was speaking with Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi and they told me you two were Schumacher's boot shiner and water boy back at Benetton. Is that true?"

--

Vettel: Yes, that warning label is required on all trophies ever since James Hunt tried to sleep with it

--

Button: "Watch this, guys. You can actually pinpoint the second where Nico's heart rips in half."

--

Seb: Ferrari were asking me which washed-up, past-their-best driver I wanted as my team mate next year, but apparently you already have a contract.

--

"I have no idea what I'm doing."

--

"Let's take these trophies to the McLaren garage to wind up Fernando."

--

In a completely legitimate move, Lewis subtly shuffles his chair to the side in order to squeeze Nico out of the press conference.

--

Bernie: So I hear you make your own vodka President Putin?
Putin: What?
Bernie: So I hear you make your own vodka President Putin?
Putin: Da, I have stuff I putin the vodka that makes you hallucinate. Looks like the guy next to you found my stash.
Bernie: You mean John my press Officer? Nevermind he's just stupid.

Putin: No Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!

Aide: Erm, sire, Mr. Bond is your next appointment...

Bernie: I'm afraid, Mr. Putin, there won't be the Russian Grand Prix in 2016. We'll relocate this GP next year.
Putin: Well, Mr. Ecclestone, are you so sure that whatever country you're going to relocate this GP to will not become a part of Russia by 2016?

--

Seb, your accountant called - it's about those VW shares you bought last year.

--

After a tough Grand Prix and some seriously spicy pre-race enchiladas, the need to pull Nico's finger becomes a medical emergency.

--

For the second time in 2015, a track is invaded by a crazed loon who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Formula 1.

--

"Merry Christmas Jenson, I got you a dog! He's slow, he's toothless, he'll spend more time at the vet than at the park, and he's covered in these weird red patches. I called him MP4-30"

Alonso: I love you, I love McLaren, I love Honda, I love Ron, I love GP2 engines...

Button: Fernando, please, did you steal the podium champagne again.
