Didnt find it in rules.

But F1 needs 8 events to crown a champion. So 8 out of 22.

so thats under 50% then. if we put this model into WRC then like 4-5 rallies only needed? and we have had 3 already.

since there is huge pause now, i looked what the standings were last year after 3 rounds.


2019
1. Ogier 61
2. Evans 28
3. Neuville 55
4. Tänak 55
5. Suninen 1
6. Lappi 20

2020

1. Ogier 62 / + 1
2. Evans 54 / + 26
3. Neuville 42 / - 13
4. Tänak 38 / - 17
5. Suninen 26 / + 25
6. Lappi 24 / + 4

as you can see the biggest gainers are one former and curren M-sport drivers Evans and Suninen. Ogier and Lappi basically the same as they were doing with Citroen, Lappi would have more without the fire of course. Biggest losses for Neuville and Tänak who both have had one zero point rally compared to last year at the same time.

if, by some miracle, the season will resume at some point, its very difficult for Tänak to defend his title. It all depends if the season resumes at all and how many rallies there will be, if only 1-3 rallies then its very difficult.
