What might've been had KMag not had that suspension failure... He would have had to qualify 6th to match +7 positions. Not impossible but a tough ask. I think 7th would have been enough and Grosjean achieved it in a HAAS. Also that would push both Grosjean and Vandoorne a place down. I see, yes, al...

To be honest, there isn't going to be another update. A fair amount of time has always gone into them, and it's just not worth it when there is so little interest. I'd hoped replacing the joker system with the transfer one might've changed that, but unfortunately it has not. That's disappointing, e...

It would be good to have the update well before the transfer deadline (FP1). I need to know if my goal is to move past Uncle Ron's Retirement Rodeo or keep him behind me.

I voted Hamilton's fault on the first + Vettel deliberate contact on the second contact. To clarify the first: I don' t think Hamilton was at fault for braking or lifting after the corner. It was his position to warm his tyres and brakes as he saw fit. The fault was that he was driving way too far ...

If Vettel stays (as I expect) I think Kimi will go. The team will give him the opportunity to declare his retirement himself, so he'll go out with his head held high. If Vettel joins Mercedes, I think Kimi will stay for one last year in conjunction with a new tier one driver, to make sure the team h...

There is no solution that will please everyone. Perhaps there could be a poll with 3 options?

1. No default points
2. Lowest score minus 1
3. Lowest score minus 25

- not in the last round (or maybe last two rounds), to avoid "tactical defaults". I honestly can't imagine a situation where that would be beneficial. It would be - quite literally - impossible to overtake any other contestant in the standings by defaulting; the best you could do would be tie them,...

I see. What about giving someone who misses a race the lowest genuine points score in the race - 1 ? Eg. for Canada that would be 88. At least people can keep in the championship that way. That actually is quite reasonable, what do other people think? It's fair. It's still a serious competitive han...

Can we have the individual leaderboard after each race along with the championship leaderboard. Hmm, I don't know. With only 9 or 10 players I don't think it adds much. I would think the ranking for the race is easily glanced from the table as it is now, with the winner clearly marked. Don't you ag...
