Should we just start picking the 2nd-11th positions?

11th would certainly be way harder to pick than 1st.

First to second is 8 tenths

6 tenths covers 2-9 or something like that.

Max is playing a different sport.

Maybe we can pick 11. When Max wins we exclude him from the results and if he doesn't' win we exclude our 11th pick. Max is such an easy pick for everyone now that we are really jut picking 2-10 haha

Lol, I'm game to go with 2-11...it's just crazy to watch. He nearly went out in Q2, got pissed at his engineer Lambiase, and then DESTROYS everyone in Q3.

I'd suggest 1-10 for spa and then 2-11 after summer break. But if anyone in the top 6 of our standings disagrees we should keep it 1-10. I'm only suggesting that as we did put $15 in for prizes and want to make sure everyone is ok with it.

I'm irrelevant in the standings but I like the 2-11.

If Flames Rule is OK with it and it doesn't mess up his spreadsheet it's OK with me, although I think there are enough other complications that it might not be worth it.

Some thoughts:

What if someone you pick for slots 2-11 wins? Do you still get 1 point for a points finish?

Because if not that sort of seems unfair to someone who picks say Gasly and then Gasly pulls out a win somehow.

But if you do give a point then it probably makes sense to pick Verstappen as 11th, since a basically guaranteed 1 point for getting him in the points is likely more valuable than trying to guess which Williams/Alpine/Haas/Alpha Tauri is "first of the backmarkers" that week.

I agree Verstappen is having an amazing season, but everyone gets the same points for picking him at #1 so it doesn't really affect the order. So really all you're doing is deciding to add points for picking #11.

I agree with the majority and reserve the right to refer the outcome of any decision to the stewards if it is not to my satisfaction.

Sincerely,

Toto Wolff

It’s a touch wet at Spa. Delayed start to the sprint.
