The BAR-Talk.com Fantasy Formula 1 competition is proving incredibly close, with just a handful of points separating the leaders from the rest, but you still have the chance to catch them up.

If your team isn't performing too well, now may be the time to change it. After 10 races, you now have the opportunity to make any changes you can afford to your team, so can you close the gap to the leaders?

There's still another six races left for you to make that difference, so get moving as you've only got two weeks to make that change.

The premise is simple, even if the workings are a little more complicated. You can choose to sell any part of your team, and you'll sell them at the price you paid earlier in the season. You can then buy a replacement part, at the current price.

So, to use the BAR-Talk.com team as an example, you could sell Button and Sato, getting $28m in the process. If you're then feeling confident, you could replace them with any two drivers up to the value of $28m, such as Raikkonen ($20m) and Monteiro ($8m).

The same can be done with chassis, engine and tyres. The full prices are listed above the entry form, and there's a handy calculator built in to the page, too.

Of course, if you're happy with your team, then you don't need to do anything.

For those of you that have forgotten their details, a link is put on the page for people to contact the FF1 administration team. If you need any other help, there's a message board thread ready for use.
