[FaultyMario]

Tables is only available in the U.S.

[Kchrpm]

Boo. I guess PM me your team if it doesn't let you enter it.

[CudaMan]

Submitted. I think I got it right on 40M. PMing you my picks just to be sure it's all as intended. Thanks Keith! :up:

[Crazed_Insanity]

Submitted my picks using both the 'table' and PM.

[Kchrpm]

Billi's and Cuda's went in fine. No need to PM them if you can use the form.

[Alan P]

Thank you Keith. Had to send you my picks via DM.

[Blerpa]

How come Norris costs 20 millions?
Sheesh, he is good, but more value than the 2nd driver in last championship and a 7 time world champion?

[G'day Mate]

Unable to use the form. Submitted via PM and Facebook too why not

[JoeW]

Also sent mine via PM. Form wouldn’t work on the phone :)

Yeah I wanted Norris but too rich for my blood.

[Rare White Ape]

Sent pics via carrier pidgeon and also by two cans with string between them.

[dodint]

Pfft…carrier pigeons aren’t really a super reliable or secure form of communication nowadays. Cans and string are a solid choice though. Because science.

[Fiat500]

I may have sent some smoke signals.

Found this tucked into an old bible:

https://gtxforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=4247&d=1709039841

This is unreadable. If you'd like to enter a new team, I'll add your name to the list of available teams on the form.

[JoeW]

Wow RWA submitted same lineup as me...so I have to resubmit...looks like those pigeons worked.

[dodint]

This is unreadable. If you'd like to enter a new team, I'll add your name to the list of available teams on the form.

No thanks. Just riffing off of the carrier pigeon talk, so I sent you a telegram from Team Suck.

[Fiat500]

I sent a selection by PM, I assume it's okay since I haven't heard anything back?

Oh, and thanks guys for doing this. 🙂

[Kchrpm]

The only people that played last year that I don't have in this year are Blerpa, Freude, and Balki. Everyone else is at 40 and unique.

[JoeW]

Well that’s it…I chose all the wrong drivers yet again. Looks like Hamilton already has the WDC in the bag after FP2. Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue…

[Crazed_Insanity]

You're that certain Mercedes is back?

Finishing top 1 and 2 in FF2 is nice, but FF1 had Ricciardo on top you know? :p

[Fiat500]

The only people that played last year that I don't have in this year are Blerpa, Freude, and Balki. Everyone else is at 40 and unique.

Awesome, thanks. 👍

[Freude am Fahren]

I can't choose more than one driver. Do I need to do a submission for each one?

Also am I too late?

[Crazed_Insanity]

You can only submit one driver at a time… just keep adding one at a time til you reach $40mil. If you go over or submit too late then Mr K can simply Knock you Out! :p

[Kchrpm]

I can't choose more than one driver. Do I need to do a submission for each one?

Also am I too late?

You are not too late, and yes you submit each driver individually. You're putting it right in the form, so I don't have to translate submissions to the format needed.

[Freude am Fahren]

:up: my submission should be in then.

[Kchrpm]

Only one of your submissions is in, Sainz. Did you edit the original each time or submit a new one?

[Freude am Fahren]

PM'd

[Kchrpm]

Here are everyone's picks!

[JoeW]

I thought RWA and I couldn't have the same drivers?

[Kchrpm]

Shit, did I forget to update it...

[FaultyMario]

PM'd

Ha!

I told keef that that seemed like a most sensible option.

[Kchrpm]

Fixed the teams and the graphic, thanks for catching my mistake Joe.

[FaultyMario]

Angelo wants both Macs and Hammy.

I know it!!

don't know if that's an affordable combo, though.

[Freude am Fahren]

I'm surprised no one went VER PER RIC (my backup)

[JoeW]

I don't trust PER for anything. I WANT to...but I just can't.

[FaultyMario]

i think you've just made him the 2024 WDC.

you and horner's peepee.

[Kchrpm]

Angelo wants both Macs and Hammy.

I know it!!

don't know if that's an affordable combo, though.

It is not, that would be 46.

[JoeW]

Ewww you said peepee

[Fiat500]

I'm surprised no one went VER PER RIC (my backup)

Heh, your pick was my backup, so I'll be watching you.

I didn't dare to trust Ferrari, and not Perez either, after last season.

(the results on Google still said "running" when I grabbed them 5-10 minutes after the race ended, so let me know if they get updated or someone gets penalized or whatever)

[Crazed_Insanity]

Wow! This has got to be the worst season ever for team suck? With no attrition and everyone running so closely, other than Kchrpm, we all scored more than 30points!!!

Wonder how things will play out this season. We should have more closer racing I think… or I hope. :p

[CudaMan]

Not surprised nobody picked Lando. He seemed expensive based on pre-season. Will be interesting to see if McLaren pulls off some mega updates and he wins something this year.

Fernando's Aston seemed really slow on the straights, but Stroll made up some good time in free air after he got spun, so verdict still out on Aston for me but I don't have a lot of faith in those picks right now. :)

Based on what we've seen so far I'm going to say FaF wins this season.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Sainz/ferrari could choke at anytime! :p

[Blerpa]

Sorry, I was away in Rome and did not get back to all of you.
I decided to not register for this season, since I do not agree with some driver values and I could not find anything else satisfying to me.
Let's hope this will bring good luck to the drivers I usually support, for a change.

[balki]

Totally snoozed and didn't even realize F1 already started.
Submitted picks if it's not too late (starting with Round 2, obviously). Didn't follow testing and tried to ignore the results (looks like the table lists rounds 1's standings).

Did no one pick VER & PER? Seemed like an absolute steal.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Yeah, Lando’s value was way too high, but I suppose he just might be worth it just like Max? We’ll see. :p

[Kchrpm]

I guess I need to come up with a one-race penalty for balki's team.

Edit: Done

[balki]

Is -44 points somehow an option?

[Crazed_Insanity]

I doubt balki missing a race could ever be a threat to the leader; however, Kchrpm’s position could potentially be caught up quickly if Mercedes doesn’t turn things around quickly! ;)

I’d be okay with giving balki half the penalty -22points. However, Kchrpm is the man. Just giving my 2 cents.

[balki]

oh, I definitely won't accept partial credit for round 1.
There's 23 races left and no one picked last year's 1-2 finishers ... I'm declaring myself the favorite unless another late-comer uses the remaining 3.5 more efficiently

[Crazed_Insanity]

You’re going full RBR?!?! Then maybe you should be assess -440 points to be fair! :p

Maybe the best penalty for late comers should be that Max is off the table for them. Yeah, now that you’ve seen the result of 1st race and the make ups of other teams, pick anybody but Max! Making you work harder with you selections! :p

[Crazed_Insanity]

Mercede's poor performance this weekend's not giving Kchrpm much motivation to update the results for the weekend, huh? :p

[Kchrpm]

Oh yeah, I forgot that was a thing. I'll do it tonight, I'm traveling.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Figured you’re probably busy… shooting some cute owls or something… :p

Anyway, the 2 races so far had been a bit too boring and predictable perhaps… Hope things will change up some more later on…

[FaultyMario]

I don't know, it seems wrong not to award the Bearman points to the Sainz fans.

Here's my rationale. In the past we've agreed that we're paying for the driver and not for the seat. However, in the past two years, with the Verstappen and Norris prices being a bit of a letdown, it's become clear to me that a really high percentage of the cost of a driver is due to the team he drives for.

So I says: to hell with old rule. Raise your glass and say "Aye" if you agree, my fellow pirates!

[Crazed_Insanity]

I used to agree with such rationale, but I thought we all agreed to tie our points to specific drivers?

Anyway, I’m okay with either rationales. However, Mr. K shouldn’t have to modify the way he tally things mid-season. We gotta make up our minds!

[Rare White Ape]

Yeah I say let the Sainz teams take the substitute points from Bearman.

After all, as a team owner, your team earns the points as a unit.

[Fiat500]

My long game is that Perez folds and Ricciardo gets his seat. Seems unlikely at the moment, but hey.

Will it affect that? No? Go for it.

[Crazed_Insanity]

My long game is that Perez folds and Ricciardo gets his seat. Seems unlikely at the moment, but hey.

Will it affect that? No? Go for it.

Yeah, I think only RBR would do something like that. Sack somebody mid-season and replace him with another driver...

However, Perez has done a decent job so far and Ricciardo really isn't kicking Yuki's butt so far... so that 'long game' probably won't happen. :p

[Freude am Fahren]

I do think that temporary substitutes that aren't already on the grid should get the points for the driver they are filling in for. I may be biased this season though.

Drivers out permanently with new replacements should get the points back to the owners, who can then buy new drivers (maybe with some kind of revaluation though). Ideally this would work for temporary ones too, but it's often way to fast to be practical.

Swaps of active drivers such as Torro Rosso/Red Bull you keep your driver.

[Kchrpm]

I love all these ideas by the people that don't have to do them.

[Crazed_Insanity]

:lol:

[G'day Mate]

Two teams dammit!

[FaultyMario]

Interesting.

[Crazed_Insanity]

This is the 1st season that I finally pulled the trigger and bought Max, but I think I’ve jinxed him! well, maybe it’s not my fault. RBR screwed that up themselves! :p

[Kchrpm]

[Crazed_Insanity]

Whoa! Super Mario takes the lead! :D

Come out of fantasy for a moment, I think it's a crime that none of us have taken on Lando. :smh:

[Rare White Ape]

Gee, you’d think that picking Verstappen would cause you to be near the top of the chart.

Have the wheels fallen off this chariot?

Also, can I please make a layout suggestion? I’ll make it anyway so here goes:

Using blue for the leader is quite confusing. Makes it look like the header, so I always think the guy in P2 is actually winning. Can you use the same colour as for the rest?

[G'day Mate]

If Albon had scored points, would they have been distributed to him or the seat he was occupying?

[Fiat500]

To him, surely?

Also, VER, RUS, RIC... YEEEEAAAH! 😄

[Kchrpm]

Using blue for the leader is quite confusing. Makes it look like the header, so I always think the guy in P2 is actually winning. Can you use the same colour as for the rest?

Done.

[Crazed_Insanity]

If Albon had scored points, would they have been distributed to him or the seat he was occupying?

That was definitely an interesting and unusual scenario, but I suppose Fiat500's right that points ought to go to the actual driver. That's what would happen on the actual F1 championship scoreboard, right?

[JoeW]

Technically the seat is his no matter what. They just put in a different tub :)

[CudaMan]

Vamos Chili!

[Rare White Ape]

Done.

Thanks Keith :up:

[Kchrpm]

Oh yeah, I need to update this...

[Crazed_Insanity]

F1 cars have no headlights… makes me wonder what would happen if a total solar eclipse passes over a GP race… will the darkness be too dangerous to race?

I’d imagine they might postpone the race?

[Kchrpm]

Or set up lights around the track like they do for night races, or just change the time by an hour or two. It's not like it's that dark for that long.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Wow. Pretty much everyone maintained their respective positions.

Fantasy is equally as boring as real life! :D

[Kchrpm]

And I don't feel like just letting everyone make new teams (and it just being a race to get Max and Perez) makes it more interesting.

So maybe at the halfway point (or sooner) we redraft but the top 5 drivers in points can't be selected.

[FaultyMario]

we redraft but the top 2 Red Bull drivers can't be selected.

Fixed.

6th-10th is super tight

[Crazed_Insanity]

Wow. Every team scored major points... except Kchrpm. ;)

Actually, Kchrpm is still doing way better than team bottom's up! :p

Balki is the hot new team... here's hopeing Perez chokes soon so that his momentum can be stopped!!!

[Crazed_Insanity]

Nobody signed Lando?!?!?!? What idiots we are?!?!?!

[FaultyMario]

did Sainz finish 5th?

i thought the on-track sixth placed driver was close enough to jump him after the penalty was added.

[Kchrpm]

I went by the results on the official website, but maybe the penalty was added later. I didn't watch the race live so I figured it would be sorted by the time I got to it, but I'll check.

[Kchrpm]

https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2024/races/1234/miami/race-result.html

The notes list the penalty and it shows him in 5th.

[FaultyMario]

right! he was running fourth.

so it was checo who benefited the most from the murder of Oscar Piastri.

Oh wow! I moved up a place!

I wonder if this is about the time where Sergio’s performance start to drop off?

If only Piastri could win a race here and there then maybe I could be in the championship hunt? ;)

[CudaMan]

My annual slide down the order is beginning - later this year than usual. :) Worth it though if we have 3 teams who can fight for wins going forward this season!

[Crazed_Insanity]

Kchrpm is probably still processing the millions of photos he took from Indy500? ;)
