I don't usually complain about getting extra points for nothing. I kept my mouth shut about it last year. But I can't help but wonder how many other teams are getting more points than they should.

And I'd like to keep my 4 extra points as an honesty bonus.

No - your points are correct:

0 for Heidfeld
1 for Bourdais
0 for Liuzzi
0 for Red Bull
6 for Renault

= 7
Your bonus GP was Australia, so 7 * 2 = 14

I count the FIRST engine that crosses the line.
The finish was:
1 - Mercedes
2 - Mercedes
3 - Mercedes
4 - Toyota
5 - Renault
6 - Toyota
7 - Ferrari
8 - Ferrari
9 - Mercedes
10 - BMW

Counting the first time an engine crosses the line the points are given as follows:

10 - Mercedes
8 - Toyota
6 - Renault
5 - Ferrari
4 - BMW

Would one of the moderators be so kind as to sticky this post please?

I'm satisfied with a strong start into the season with my underfunded team (£44M). :p : Brawn and Toyota haven't let me down yet.

Here's hoping that post-race penalties don't crop up too often creating a bunch of extra work for you, and thanks as always N!

I was laughing my a$$ off when Kimi buzzed the wall then I remebered I had Ferrari chassis! BALLS!

I am confused (not difficult in my case) call me andrew disputes his points allocation, you correct him, OK, so where did he see his points allocation, last year we had a league table with results and points awarded, and it showed the movement of teams within the league, but now I don't know if my team is top or bottom, I cant find the appropriate page, please help this old fool.

Regards scaliwag.

I don't know how he tabulated his points.
The web page we had last year listed everyone's team on one page and the results on another, so it was a little easier to try and figure out your points. Unfortunately I do not have that available at the moment but I am working on a website for FGP.

Well, you know your team and the rules. I know what my teams points are even before I log on. When results are posted there will be current race results and overall standings. The only problem is that right now to compare your team to others you must dig into this thread (page 4-5 or somewhere abouts, where alot of teams were listed). Hope that helps. For instance, I was curious about the current leader, West Racing, so I told google to search the forums for the team name.

Well, not the worst start for me, but I am in the bad end of the leader-board nonetheless. I think both Alonso and Bourdais can put in much better performances as the year progress. Toyota, most definitely can; really disappointed that Trulli was penalised. Williams seem to have a promising package too. I think Nico could be a surprise driver in some races this year. Kazuki seems quicker than he was last year, but still prone to driver error.

Looking on to the coming races with confidence. :up:

Same here - confidence. I have it for BMW. They can turn it around and so can Glock. Sutil on the other hand....well, I'll just have to wait to the second half of the season before he scores points (I hope).

Mr Jones/Shifter

Thanks for the info, all is clear now.
Regards scaliwag.

Very happy with midtable to start me off, Having Button and Glock is pure genius :D , now just need Renault and BMW to sort themselves out and i will be happy :)

It looks like I will be re-calculating the points after this new ruling by the FIA.

No! My FGP results are going to be worse.

LOL. Sorry, I have to follow the official scoring.

Well, that helped me... I think [where did the extra point - doubled for my bonus GP - come from? I don't have Toyota, McLaren nor any of their drivers, and any effect from the Merc engine was cancelled out by both Brawns coming in front of Hamilton]

Red Bull chassis? I picked up a point from my RBR chassis because McLaren dropped out of the chassis points.

Yes, Red Bull picked up a point. I guess it might be helpful to list how the points shake out now that McLaren were booted from Oz:

This is highly unusual, but since we do not have a website up with everyone's team I'll post the points I used to get the above:

DRIVERS
Button - 12
Barrichello - 8
Trulli - 6
Glock - 5
Alonso - 4
Rosberg - 4
Buemi - 2
Bourdais - 1

CHASSIS
Brawn GP - 10
Toyota - 8
Renault - 6
Williams - 5
STR - 4
Force India - 3
BMW - 2
Red Bull - 1


ENGINE
Mercedes - 10
Toyota - 8
Renault - 6
Ferrari - 5
BMW - 4

I gained a point from that mix up. Should be a good one for Toyota tomorrow and Nico Rosberg was on form at points during practice. Not so sure about Alonso and Bourdais. I expect they'll be scrambling for the lesser points places, but not a major threat to anybody.

cool, that puts me top, can't see it lasting, but the Button, Barichello and Merc combination with Melbourne as my bonus gives me a little glory, if i'd gone the Brawn chassis instead of Ferrari i'd be unassailable!

A wonderful announcement!

We have a website for FGP! Please point your browser to this location:

http://www.ameri.me/fgp/2009/

This will be our website for the season. It is a simple for now while we work out something much grander as the season rolls on.

When I say "we" I must introduce and thank the person who worked to put this website together. Please give a shout out to aryan for stepping up and helping FGP when it was homeless internet-wise! :D

We are starting a new trend as well; after each GP we will be posting the points that I use to calculate the results of your team.
I hope you all like what we have for now, which will make viewing the results much more easier to read than going through the forum.

Awesome! Well, the news not my FGP picks.

Great news, thanks N.Jones :up:

Great job on the website. It makes the FGP much easier to follow.

Question: Do the third drivers serve any purpose? :p :

Yes. It is best if you choose a 3rd driver that is on the same team as one of your other drivers (such as Kobayashi to your Trulli or Glock) because if one goes down and your third driver steps in and scores points your FGP team scores as well.

This also works if you luck out in this way. Say you have Kobayshi along with Rosberg and Piquet.
Example: Say Piquet gets the boot for the Italian GP and Glock is unable to race, replaced by Kobayashi. Kobayashi finishes 7th in the race. You would get his points in place of Piquet.

Make sense? :)

Just to let everyone know that I have some plans for a more refined and "modern" website later on in the season. Whether I get the time to do that of course, is still an open question.

For now, this rather crude and simple website should do, and it would at least make following FGP much easier.

Cheers to N.Jones for keeping FGP alive, and every one of us 55 people who submitted a team!

Before anyone asks, yes I am going with half points. Building it now even though I don't know who had the fastest lap of the race. Once I find that I will post the results.

I didn't realize that the third drivers had to be official third drivers. I don't think Adam Carroll is third driver for any team, so could I switch to a real third driver, to make it worth my while? At the moment, its safe to do so without compromising myself or anybody else.

Oh, and more hard work for you N. Jones! Not the year to be running the FGP is it? :p :

Thanks.

Paddy, do you really think you will use your third driver? The cutoff date has passed....
