Red Bull

Right now it looks like the Austrian team boasts the strongest driver line-up this year. JoshJ was third in the 2010 drivers championship and J Kim has led races and finished on the podium.

Mercedes


Sean Higgins [9]
Starts: 52
Wins: 0

Captain Slow [18]

Tom101 [23]
Starts: 37
Wins: 0

The French also have a carry-over pair from last season, inheriting last year's USF1 drivers. If I remember right, Tom101 (aka Twrx) could have finished much higher in the point standings if not for some technical problems.

Lotus


Richard Walcott [10]
Starts: 5
Wins: 0

Mat Harto [13]
Starts: 10
Wins: 0

A strong driver pairing for the Malaysian team. These guys came in halfway through the season last year and Richard Walcott still finished in the top ten while Mat Harto wasn't far off and had several podium finishes.

Williams


Stuff [11]
Starts: 10
Wins: 0

Nak [17]

Latest Rumors: Force India in negotiations with StevenM (2007 and 2009 FiHS Drivers Champion and 4th last year) and Pete (5th last year and a race winner). If this is a go, this could be the top team of 2011.

Toro Rosso


Jeff Oppenheim [15]

Sebastian Scott [25]
Starts: 7
Wins: 0

JeffO returns with the Italian team and picks up Seb Scott who looks to build on his strong form late in the season last year.

Virgin

Starts: 10
Wins: 0

Dave Carney [26]
Starts: 1 
Wins: 0

The Russian team has two new drivers: Glen Thomas came in midseason last year and started scoring points right away. Dave Carney only ran 1 race last season (I think) and also scored points.

HRT


Lion Heart [-]
Starts: 15
Wins: 7  (WDC 2008)

Alaster [21]
Starts: 33
Wins:0

Lion Heart didn't race last year but is the 2008 FiHS Drivers Champion. And then it's me, Alaster, always last, in the other Spanish car.

we must play our lives like soldiers in the field

(super draft mode)

WARNING: reading this may cause insanity

it seems the creature is born an empty vessel
through others like it it learns about the world
with his memories he pieces together a life story a biography
and through playtime he also learns about a fantasy world
and what to make of the place that he goes to when he is asleep
where everything is real until you wake up
and yet some things that happen there are so significant the memory is classified as real and placed alongside other memories considered real

secret life of walter mitty
calvin and hobbes
any story with a so-called dream sequence

as the human grows and his understanding of the world becomes more complex and complicated
so does his fantasy world and dream world grow more complex
the details increase situations become more like the real world   more simulation than fantasy

where before the events of the fantasy world are adventures based on movies tv comic books
epic battles save the world scenarios
now the fantasy world becomes a simulation of the real world
fantasy based on real life instead of based on other fantasies
the fantasy becomes a mirror of reality  even an exact copy the mystery world
where one can get bored one must deal with the mundane
the enemy is
one must continually metabolize materials from the environment and other requirements of living creatures death is coming

he realizes that his own life story is also just a fantasy after all
perhaps the primary fantasy of his mind but a fantasy nonetheless   a delusion
released from the bonds of his life story or maybe what some would call a psychotic break

he begins to apply new delusions to the events of his real life
and he finds that it corresponds connects converges
he believes he is a secret agent so deep undercover even he doesn't know it and he must take steps to find out
he believes he is some spirit / alien / mysterious force that has taken possession of a human body and now with his new body he can work towards his goal
he believes he is god so utterly bored with his farcical existence he recreates himself into a simple human being hoping that he won't ever remember what it really is and he can live a life that has been supplied with meaning and purpose

more and more delusions are applied as the primary fantasy slowly fades away and there is no negation no proof of otherwise

he reads that his behavior is considered an illness a disease a cancer of the mind
it seems that all the other people in the world are monodelusional zombies or are they
there has got to be other people who have crossed into this realm he says to himself
but how would we find each other and do we even need to
be vigilant with your discovery
