Re: Another slightly different Alternative championship

Two years in one go as I'd done two versions of 1999, one if Coulthard was the 1998 champ, and one if Irvine was, due to me being unsure of the Spa 98 result! This one is the official one now: 1999 Eddie Irvine 323 (10 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Ralf Schumacher 213 (2 wins, 6 2nds, 3 3rds) Rubens Barriche...

I found the rule I needed when I looked through the regulations, it's rule 45.2: "Cars having covered less than 90% of the number of laps covered by the winner ( rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps ) will not be classified". I trust the rule was the same in 1998, so DC's class...

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Singapore!

I thought the Hamilton/Webber thing was 50:50 - one of them needed to have backed off and conceded position to avoid the contact, and neither did, but you're not going to win the championship by conceding the position. For me the ROTR has to be Schumacher (again) - seriously why is he bothering? He ...
