Sauber Speak Fantasy F1

Sauber Speak and BAR-Talk are running a free Fantasy F1 league. Can you pick a winning team just like the pros? The season is underway, but it's not too late to join in on the fun. There's prizes on offer for the top finisher at the end of the season, and it's something that money can't buy.
To take part, all you need to do is submit a team. Follow the basic rules as they appear below, and you could have a championship winning team. So, let's go...
You have $80 million to spend on your F1 team, and you can spend it how you wish. However, you need to buy a chassis supplier, an engine supplier, some tyres and two drivers. Don't think you can just go and buy the best of everything though, as you're budget won't stretch to that.
Full rules and points scoring system appear here, but basically you'll get points for finishing higher up, points for qualifying, and lose points for retirements due to driver error or mechanical failure.
You'll get points for both drivers, both chassis and both engines, and the top two finishers on your chosen tyre. You'll also have the opportunity of making a single change to your line up through the season, but more details of that will appear once the European season gets underway.
So, assuming you've read the rules, and understand the points system, it's time to pick your team. Below are all the options, along with the price of each option. Once again, just pick one chassis, one engine and one tyre supplier, and two drivers.
Make your choices, and fill in the form at the foot of the page. Remember, though, that you have only $80 million to spend in total. All entries will be checked manually, and any over-budget entries will be rejected.
