Meh you bunch of muppets....

You dont get a point for each overtake they make only where they finish relative to where they started. So if you overtake 3 people and then they all overtake you again and you end up finishing the race in the position you started i.e. you start 16th and finish there, you dont gain any points for the 3 overtakes you did. But... you do get 5 points because you finished where you started...

So Lewis started from Grid 16, he finished grid 13, so he made 3 places from his start position. Each place gains him two points. So thats 6 points for that. He did 58 laps and he got a point for each lap. So his total points for this race was

58 + 6 = 64

Heres his stats page

Jenson scoring works like this

He did 58 laps
He made up 1 place from his grid position so thats another 2 points
He came first so that gains him 10 points

So his total was 58 + 2 + 10 = 70 points

2 for the overtake, 2 extra for being 1st instead of second. = 4
Staying in the same position you started the race in = 5
so net gain for Jenson's overtake = -1
this scoring system = priceless.

Last year, it was different you got 5 points for every place gained... but then the pricing of the drivers as different and it was hard to fit it into the budget.

I look at it differently. I'd rather my drivers finished the race and then worry about scoring points for moving up places etc etc. If they dont finish that hits you harder than anything else does... especially if they go out in the first few laps at somewhere like Monaco...

Exactly, so the guy in 13th nearly got as many points as the guy who won the race...

Priceless

Thats what I mean, its pot luck, totally random. No logic or knowledge needed at all.

Yeah but the guy who finished 13ths costs alot more to put in your team than the guy who finished 1st does.

TBH the stuff with Ferrari and Mclaren being poor has turned the whole thing on its head.. Also Lewis is doing better than the car is and making up places to.

Last year it was more clear cut i.e. you go for big name drivers or you went for back / mid grid drivers who were cheaper but made points by moving foward or when those in front of them broke down...

I'm actually finding it quite interesting this year TBH.

Not your fault anyway Fizzy. But I do blame you for the extra emotional stresses you are causing me when me drivers/teams balls up...

Queue Lewis last weekend for example...

Rubens this weekend etc...

Any idea how far in advance you have to do your transfers for them to 'pay out' for the weekend???

E.g. I Input Webber Friday morning, will i get points for this weekend?

It's friday at 5pm i think.

...and I'm second in the league!!! In your faces! ;o)

Is Glock the strongest driver lately?

He hasn't been getting no where near the amount of press attention as he should. So many times now he's started from near the back and finished in the top 10.

Hungary - Qualified 14th / Finished 6th
Germany - Qualified 20th / Finished 9th
Britain - Qualified 8th / Finished 9th (Odd one out)
Turkey - Qualified 13th / Finished 8th
Monaco - Qualified 20th / Finished 10th
