<description><![CDATA[One of the fun things I like to do during the F1 season is to take part in an online game called Fantasy Racers, which is a sort of prediction game based on the form of F1 drivers throughout the season.

The most important of these was a radical change to the points system, which would drastically increase the amount of points for a win and award points down to tenth place, in order to help the new teams score some points this year.<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>
