F1 definitely has different type of rules to what I am used too.

Verstappen takes the win in a rain swamped race that wasn't even contested so half points were awarded. Kind of weird. George Russell drove a masterful race and nearly won but came in second. Hamilton took third and Ricciardo took fourth.

Shouldn't it be half points?

Lewis weighs in. And I think pretty much everyone agrees with him.

why do I only get two points when I have Verstappen for the win as well?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

We should do what F1 didn't have the stones to do and call it ZERO all around.

 

[Retroram52]

Sorry Schmoopy. Typo. I'll get it all squared-away in next race.

Not to bad for a noob. Now if I could just figure out all of F1's damn rules LOL

 

[Retroram52]

Good luck on that Schmoopy.

I want everyone to remember. Just to be fair. The Schmoopter gave everyone a 13 to 22 pt headstart before starting to race.
Just drafting past you guys one at a time.

Yea, Schmoopy, reminds me of another F-1 enthusiast who took the first part of the season off and then came back and won the championship. He was known as BoiseStateFan27!
