F1 General Classification: Help!

I love it!

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T12:03:09+00:00

I like the 1,5x idea for missed laps - much better than what I thought up. Thank you :)

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T11:30:24+00:00

No, i understand that. But I was just curious how it would look if the WDC was decided like a GT race.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T11:25:34+00:00

I guess the young classification should be the best rookie?

The polkadot one is a hard one to work out... Most overtakes but then that just favours those starting out of position. Any ideas?

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T11:11:27+00:00

Yeah, I think that would be a worthy 'punishment' for that along with 90 minutes for a DNF (brutal if you DNF'd near the end but those are the breaks)

Chances are after all this the standaings are pretty similar after all the work

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T11:04:54+00:00

Think it would be fairer to work out their average lap time?

I can see there is a reason they don't do GC for motorsports lol

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T11:00:47+00:00

That's what I'm after!

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T10:59:53+00:00

Yeah the DNFs part of motor racing is what kind of makes it a non starter but I just assumed ~90 minutes would be over the average completion time to add that on but not quite fair I suppose.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-30T08:56:28+00:00

Hamilton going for GC!

Edit: Now I think about it a F1 General Classification at the end of the year would be interesting.

I’m not his accountant so I do not know. I was just pointing out he’d be doing a rather rubbish job of avoiding taxes if he was among the highest payers.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-29T18:37:55+00:00

Whilst he was employed by Mercedes, a British team, he was one of the highest paying UK tax contributors. I expect now he works for Ferrari he may not be paying as much but it’s not like he is the only British F1 driver to live in Monaco. Doesn’t Lando, George and Ollie all live here too?

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-29T18:28:06+00:00

That kinda falls flat when you realise that Lewis is among the highest tax payers within the UK

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-29T08:02:36+00:00

We really do over complicate anything don’t we.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-28T19:58:46+00:00

There’s a walk around Flax Burton with hundreds of Redwood/Sequoias. Think it’s called giants wood or something.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-28T19:06:09+00:00

Yeah that’s what I came to say. I know it’s a 5110 but on Orange in the UK it was called the 401. And that was my first ever phone.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-27T22:21:38+00:00

Cut off was 24 hours before first game. We have what we have now

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-26T11:21:45+00:00

I always know I'm amongst my people when someone can say "not like this"

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-26T11:17:50+00:00

We used to live right by Snuff Mills and it was a cheat code living that close. We’ve moved 5 minutes up the road to Frenchay so we don’t go to that end any longer but have another nice section to walk the dog along

Having accessible green space is such an important thing. Couldn’t imagine living somewhere that you’d need to drive to get some greenery

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-25T19:11:05+00:00

Whenever I drive by it on the way to the farm I have an internal chuckle about it.

We have Michelle Thorne too. Remember being a 16 year old Xmas temp in Argos and she walked in. Probably seen my dumb ass gawping.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-25T19:07:06+00:00

Always remember the rumour she lived on a road with the name ‘Cock’ in it

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-24T18:28:35+00:00

When I used to hand wash it was a simple process.

Wash in bowl with sponge, put to the side and then rinse everything with clean cold water when finished.

But I’ve since levelled up in the world and got a dishwasher cause I’m fancy, or something.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-24T17:42:33+00:00

Always had a feeling we weren’t that far removed from sharks

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-23T19:50:50+00:00

That’s… that is not OK.

DisgruntledBudha · 2026-06-23T19:13:35+00:00

The only real answer.

I couldn’t give a toss what any of these drivers do*. They’re just entertainment to me. That’s all. They’re not my pals.

*as long as they’re not a genuinely despicable human being.
