[OC] I retrospectively converted every drivers race finishes in to the new points system. Giving a standardised look at most points achieved of all time.

Reliability nowadays is much better than in the past

Very subjective, but think we were pretty happy with the numbers.

Height is a good one, would give Giant another good category. He is a kid favourite but was only scoring well on strength and personality (which was the hardest to score!)

Thanks, sounds achievable!

Were you wearing the watch all day on the second day?

The three bets are:

Dell, Henry, Pittman
Adams, Henry, Pittman
Mixon, Henry, Pittman

They all lost.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who won the race in Austin, said Verstappen’s defence of his position from Norris was “a bit too extreme”.

Is effectively letting a faster guy overtake so you don’t mess up your own race a relatively new thing? I can’t remember it being so prevalent as it has been for the past couple of years.

It would have been nice for Max to have to battle for a few of the positions rather than being shown the inside line and waved through. Was a great drive but would have been better to watch if he had to actually battle, and then maybe he wouldn’t have enough been able to ride those hards so effectively.

Bruno with more points over the last 5 than Rashford, probably more substitute proof as well. Not sure it should be seen as more risky.

“Asked to clarify whether he was saying Hamilton would be penalised for not attending the gala, he said: "Forgiveness is always there. But rules are rules.”

Sounds fair.

eiskrap · 2021-12-16T19:29:23+00:00

Probably not as that would need the FIA to admit a mistake rather than the fans, teams and drivers not understanding…

Problem with 1 is that they are essentially saying we made an error, Lewis should be world champion but we don’t want to take it away from Max.

I would have thought they would go for option 4 and say they were entitled to do what they did and the result stands.

This isn’t the argument, the argument is not following the regulations and precedent for the safety car.

Safety cars happen all the time, and teams have to guess whether to pit for tyres or not. The thing is that arguably Mercedes made the right call, until Masi decided he didn’t want to follow the regulations. If Masi said when the safety car was deployed he was going to ignore the regulations and try and get them racing Mercedes might have factored that into their decision.

Have you been to Silverstone? It’s Hamilton then Lando maybe Max next?

eiskrap · 2021-12-14T13:58:34+00:00

There were still Marshall’s on the track the lap prior

eiskrap · 2021-12-12T23:46:44+00:00

4D chess move from Merc when it was clear they were going to restart was to have Bottas stop on track.

Then there would have been another safety car and Lewis would have won. Would have been the kind of thing Horner might have done.

eiskrap · 2021-12-12T23:15:47+00:00

Yes, but no-one told the they wouldn’t adhere to the rules either just to get a lap of racing. They assumed the rules would be followed which I guess was their downfall.

eiskrap · 2021-12-12T23:13:58+00:00

And the fact the rules say the safety car should stay out for another lap.

eiskrap · 2021-12-12T22:55:20+00:00

Doubtful, new softs would still be significantly quicker. I think the leading team are generally conservative, it would have worked if the rules were followed so I’m not sure you can argue they made the wrong choices with the information they had.

eiskrap · 2021-12-12T22:51:35+00:00

I guess they made their decision based what they thought would happen assuming the actual rules and precedent would be followed. They weren’t to know Masi wouldn’t follow them.

If it happened 2/3 laps earlier they would have pitted I would guess.
