Race 12
Netherlands
The last race to be held at the fantastic Zandvoort circuit,
and as always it was a good one.
The Sprint was somewhat of a procession, pretty much the only
change of position being Russell getting past Norris for the
win.
The race was a different story, Lots of overtaking moves,
Russell dropped back, Antonelli took the lead then Norris
reclaimed it for the win.
Very dramatic start as home hero Verstapen had a bad spin,
crashed and was out!
Other retirements: Bottas, Ocon, Bearman, Stroll.
Injured Hadjar was replaced by Lawson, who (pains me to say
it!) did well, and a returning Yuki Tsunoda in turn replaced
Lawson at Racing Bulls, also doing well and ending one place in
front of team mate Lindblad.
The FGP
A win for Synergy.
In the Championship, this race saw a lot of players using
their bonus race, and that has shifted things around a lot in
the Top 10. Although the Top 2 remain as they were... Myknos
Sandals have not come off that top slot since the very first
race, can they become the first team ever in FGP history to be
top from start to end?

Extra Race/Malaysia Added To Calendar
Malaysia has been add to this year's race calendar. It will
take place over the weekend 3-4 October, between the Azerbaijan
and Singapore race weekends. For some overly complex reasoning,
it is being called the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia! This will bring the number of races
up to 23.
The FGP Dilemma
As things stand, when this race takes place the usual
points will awarded, however, there will be no Race Prize money
available. This was previously explained by email at the time of
the earlier race cancellations.
Players chosen bonus races have been amended to coincide with
whatever number race it now becomes on the calendar. No one will
have Malaysia as their bonus race.
Transfers 3 will still take place ahead of the (current) last
six races, meaning that Transfers 2 will now be after Race 17,
which is still Singapore (that was 16).... Keeping up?!
The above is VERY flexible at present. There is now every
possibility that the last two races, Qatar and Abu-Dhabi, will
be cancelled, or held elsewhere. That will throw another pile of
wood on the FGP fire.
Additional note added here.
