My highest ranking was on race 1 at 4th. Ever since, I've steadily dropped down to around 8th and stayed there. Now that 2 of my drivers finished top 2, I'd expect some dramatic rise, but nope, still at 8th place. Sigh..., but at least I'm closing the gap a little bit! ;)
Com'one Charles and Max, need you guys to win more races to make F-1 more interesting and my ranking higher!!!! :p
About time I had a good race!
You're still behind me dude! HWAHAHAHA! :p
Thanks Max and Charles for helping me crack the top 10.
No thanks Haas and Grosjean! How much worse can it get for them?

Probably needs an update... poor dodint did manage to score some points after all... ;)
I scored only 20 points if I'm correct... damn, Lewis did really ruin my chances to recover points on Nate!
Say what you will about Vettel, but good lord that was a hell of a drive. Also, nice to be back in the top 10!
Are the points updated with Raikkonen and Giovinazzi 30 seconds penalties issued yesterday 3 hours after the race?

Thanks balki..., for moving over so I can get by! :p
What an absolute disaster of a season. :(
Seriously....
Oh?
My best driver came in 11th and scored two points. I even win at losing.
What a cocky ass son of a...
My best driver is going to kick your best driver's ass next half of the season. You just watch!!!!
I'm only like 109 points behind..., but if anyone can pull it off, it'll be Max!!!
Uhm, I could win... if Bottas manages a shitty rest of the season, since both me and Nate have Hamilton.

What happens to Gasly's slot if Kvyat is promoted?
I thought we agreed to the format of keeping driver 1 and 2 of a particular team to make things easier for balki?
If you believe that, find it and quote it.
I looked earlier and the question was raised but not resolved. I could be wrong, though. Prove it.
Hmm, I must've remembered wrong then.
Balki did say no major rule changes... and last year's rule specifically said we're getting the drivers, not their seats. So if your driver's is promoted, you should get promoted along with him. Likewise if there's a demotion. However, if Gasley loses his seat completely, I guess that means you'll be missing a driver if you signed him? :D
I really don't know; I thought maybe you had remembered something I hadn't.
I'm for whatever is easier on balki.
If all things are equal I think you should be stuck with the driver you chose and should suffer/gain from a demotion/promotion situation. I do think if a drive were injured like Schumacher was when Salo subbed in then the seat points should count.
This is all I could find from 2018’s original post:
“You're getting the driver, not this seat (like 2016 and prior”
Albon pickers keep him in the Red Bull.
Gasly-guys, you continue to get hosed

2nd is getting closer.
All I need is Riccardo to score something and I might sneak in there.
Ricciardo won’t save you...ever :)
If only Kimi had given Max more room...I could have made serious haul of points. Lec, Max and Kimi...glorious.
Yeah, damn shame max couldn’t score more points. If Albon could finish 5th, surely max could’ve in the mix with top 4 guys...
Kimi should have not given a single cm to Max, the dutch was a car behind. Accident is 100% Verstappen fault.
Damn to Norris and Giovinazzi, I was in for more points till the last lap.
Also, Ricciardo would not help you, Yobbo: I've Daniel as well in my team :D
Gotta disagree. Not smart to go all the way from outside to apex at La Source lap 1, pretending no one can be there. He didn't exactly brake very deep either.
Checkers or wreckers for Verstappen, seems like....
Yep so true...longest top 5 finishing streak of the field. Checkers or wreckers.
As FaF said...you can’t go from 3 car widths out and dive for the apex and not expect there to be a car or two there on the very first turn of the start of the race.
People, are you serious? F1 paramount rule: if you are a car lenght ahead you have ANY right of turning (aside from not doing more of one change of direction) and who is following you, behind, is 100% responsible of braking and not punting you. And that's it.
Jesus I swear sometimes you people are ridiculous.
It’s not about the rule of the law. It’s about driving smart. Kimi should know damn well someone is always going to be there in turn one of the race. There is ALWAYS someone there. Just hold your line. Chopping down on the corner is a recipe for disaster. Do you have “rights” to it? Sure but wouldn’t it be smarter to drive wise instead of right? As it turns out...yes. Because it ruined both of their races. Max cleared Perez and occupied the space he vacated. The rule also states leave a car width right?
Being the veteran Kimi should have known better. And Max expected a car width.
So who is right? No one because neither finished.
Ah but remember, car in front has right to corner.
I think even if Kimi did leave a bit of space, the speed Max was going, he would have still clipped him anyway.
Max was practically stopped at that point.
Again with the "right" to the corner. Knowing you have the "right" to everything doesn't mean you should drive like it. When the crosswalk says walk...I have the right to walk across safely...but I still cautiously look both ways.
When everyone around you is crazy...Quote:

I’d agree 100% with ‘everyone’ else if Max punted Kimi from behind.
Reality is that Kimi hopped over Max’s front wheel.
Most likely Kimi wasn’t paying attention or Max was in a blind spot and Kimi didn’t see Max.
Personally I’d consider it a racing incident. It’s really be crazy if Max were assessed a penalty for that.
You complete meQuote:

Perez realized that he ain't passing Kimi so he backed off, Kimi probably thought he was safe to shut the door on him... but at this point, Max surged pass Perez and of course got into the same real estate Kimi committed himself to be in too...
So I think the incident probably occurred because Perez was in between Kimi and Max... that's why neither saw each other until Perez bailed out of there at the last minute. It's a racing incident. Considering JoeW owns both drivers, I'm sure he's lecturing his drivers to be careful and respectful of each other for the next race! ;)
Starting @ 2:56

That second hit up Raidillon is inexcusable.
Perez was screwed there because he had Max to his right...he couldn't get overlap on Kimi's rear wheel so he had to brake or rear end Kimi. So he bailed out left to the free area. Max inhabited the now clear area vacated by Perez....and did have quite a bit of overlap. But Kimi assumed incorrectly he was clear to chop down on the corner.
Meh...I will fine all parties involved ;)
Although I'm also one of the fanboi, after careful post analysis, I have to conclude it's really mostly Max's fault.
If he didn't screw up his launch so badly, surely this incident could've been easily avoided. :p
Max would've easily been ahead of Kimi and there'd be no way for Kimi to shut the door on him.
He did not properly control his own destiny...more fines...
Are you referring to incident on 7:17?Quote:

It's an unfortunate racing incident. Surely Team principle JoeW would prefer his 2 teammates NOT touching like that too, but that's racing. Sometimes shit happens.
Just glad nobody died.
Fines!
