Rick doesn't have Ford 😠 That official waving the flag was swinging it a lap too early, which basically means the race ended at lap 68... And Ford has Max, not Rick...
Is the biggest joke the fact that Max overtook Valtteri Bottas in the final lap, or Louie Ricco? Honestly, it wouldn't even matter because the flag was already out 🤦

The wall is faster than you, I got the message loud and clear...😁🤣
Then just go ahead and make it yourself on Wikipedia... As far as I know, people can write pretty much any kind of nonsense on there, so you could always add an entry about some top-tier online F1 competition and list those results😁

Knight's Greeting, too bad about the bottle of wine
It’s freaking impossible 😬 I once walked away with just 2 minor points🙈
Terry Carter2 said:It’s always been like this. That’s exactly why we started this NOP group—to stop all those messy, random tags from cluttering everything up. He didn't even finish the race, but sure, let's just say he "secured a solid result" because he spent 90% of the laps leading the pack. Yeah, right. 😁
Hopefully...😁 It could be a difference of just a few feet. 🤣
Basically, this is a pretty tricky question... On Polly, it’s obvious that whoever starts on pole position is having a good day, and that isn't always the person who was actually fastest in qualifying... As for the championship, you're guessing race results, so you could argue it really kicks off at the start of the race—meaning after any qualifying penalties are handed out.
But then again, you have to submit your predictions before qualifying even happens. So, you could also say it starts with qualifying itself, making it pointless to factor in post-qualifying penalties when looking at the pole position winner...
The tournament is a totally different story since you're predicting qualifying results. It makes perfect sense to ignore any penalties issued after qualifying, just like you don't look at penalties after the race is over...
If my memory serves me right, we had this exact debate ages ago and even ran a poll to decide how to handle it... I can't quite remember what the final call was, but if I recall correctly, it was about Schumacher's pole (Monaco 2012 🤔) being stripped away due to a penalty... It wouldn't hurt to dig up the archives and see what was actually decided. 🤔
