Nothing in the email or FAQs that I can see about what to do, if anything, where your ST for the match has been passed on via the “Share” scheme. I’m assuming the club will be contacting the sharer direct.

We don’t know now, and never will, what would have happened if the cars between LH and MV hadn’t been allowed to overtake the SC - there’s every chance that they would have let MV past in the first two corners leaving MV almost a full lap to chase down LH. I’m not a believer in all the...

Non of that is unusual and is part of the strategy part of F1 - LH has taken advantage of safety car pit stops on numerous occasions as well as closing up on his rivals. What was unusual was allowing only selected cars to overtake the safety and not all or none.

I agree - if only the race had been red flagged rather than put under the safety car - that way we’d have had a four lap shoot out with both drivers on level terms - now that would have been a proper finish.

You can’t declare a race winner and a championship on an “almost certain” We don’t know who would have won if the race had finished under the safety car - again it’s only “almost certain” that LH would have won but cars have crashed and/or broken down under safety car conditions. I can’t see...

This - been to just one game this season and having seen the total disregard of the club’s terms for entry won’t be going to another for a while.

If Mercedes appeal is successful then what will the result be? We don’t know what would have happened if the four cars between LH and MV hadn’t been allowed to overtake the safety car. We don’t know what would have happened if the race had finished under the safety car? If the race is...

Maybe I’m being naive but i would have expected that players as a group, being in close contact on a daily basis with far more people than most, (and no doubt being encouraged to get vaccinated by their clubs), were percentage wise more highly vaccinated than the general population.

No it hasn’t - laps under the safety car are part of the race.

That would be MV then - all cars started at the same time - MV finished first.

So adjust for each track

8 seconds is roughly the equivalent time saving for a pit stop under the SC than at full racing speed. The safety car reduces the speed of cars on the track by about 40% so reduce the pit lane speed by a similar amount. Probably got my maths wrong but the principle stays the same

Enough to increase a SC pit stop by 8 seconds not 8 minutes :laugh:

Not allowing pit stops though would disadvantage just as many drivers as allowing them does. If you were in the lead, for example, with a good gap back to second place and due to come in for new tyres - stopping when the SC ended would then mean they would probably come out of the pits in last...

It wasn’t just him that stopped and on both occasions, VSC and SC, Lewis was closer to the pits than Max. Strategically it favoured Max though as Lewis was leading. You have to allow pit stops during safety car periods where possible as often the cause, or a car involved in the cause, need to...

Not quite the same - LH overtook the safety car in that race!

Being ahead is not the same as having been overtaken - F1 recognises this in their award for the most overtakes in a season.

Good point - but not sure they’d have won by overtaking the second place car. I can understand the appeal based on the decision to let just the cars between LH & MV pass the safety car but to try and decide a world championship on whether one car went a few inches in front of another for a...

What is an “overtake”? In the F1 awards for the most overtakes a car has to clear the car not simply get the nose ahead for a split second.

Aren’t all professional sports part of the entertainment industry?
