I think there's a post on page 1 where RS is to the left of MS, but the significance wasn't spotted at the time.

Edit; here you go - page 2

[Tsarwash]

Even though I first used this system to show Irvine > Schumacher, this does break the second rule of the game. However a quick glance at wiki suggests that Piquet snr > Schumacher.

I wonder if we can make Piquet jnr > Piquet snr ?

That's where it ends. Nice try I guess

EDIT: If we count Spec

Yeah a nice failed try

Damn. You beat me to it.

But Ive got another one too...

RS > Button > Villeneuve > Frentzen > Wendlinger > MS

The best is indeed Dani Sordo >Raikkonen>montoya>Ralf.....

[gillesthegenius]

Ok gentleman new challenge...................I tried but failed


Danica Patrick>Takuma Sato> ending with Hamilton/Schumacher would be perfect.

Here you go... Proof that Danica Patrick is better than Schumi, Hamilton, Alonso, Button and Vettel!!!

Piquet Jr. > Petrov > Hulkenberg > Kamui Kobayashi > Heidfeld > Massa > Villeneuve > Frentzen > Hill > Senna (Williams when they were racing together) > Prost > Mansell > Piquet Srn.

I tried.

[Number62]

that's why we have rule #2

There must be some other way to show why Barrichello is better than Schumacher....

Barichello > The Stig = Schumacher

[Zava]

Barichello > The Stig = Schumacher

dang!
Buttoneer, do TopGear track times count? that could add a few options.

I must point out a mistake in my post there. The 1st time Ralf appears is wrong, because Fisi beat him, and I had it the other way round.

[Buttoneer]

TBH, I think it makes it too easy. Part of the fun is the difficulty (IMHO) which would be taken away by some pretty random results.

I do have another challenge though which is; can you get a driver who is currently losing to their teammate, ahead? So, can we get Massa ahead of Alonso or Button ahead of Hamilton etc etc?

oh, okay.

yeah, it's a bit fishy at the Coulthard-Webber part, but whatever...

Ok. This is not a current teammate pairing.

But I thought this could put a smile on the face of a tortured soul, if he ever happens to read this thread...

Piquet jnr > di Grassi > di Resta > Vettel > Webber > Rosberg > Hamilton > Alonso

These ones really strike home with the full force of the bullshit.

Good to have an RC host like you.

Sorry mate but its the rules.

I managed to get Ide better than Schumi.

[H2H]

What the hell is Marquez doing wasting all his talent?
Better than all 5 world champions of this generation and not to be seen in f1 at all.
Does he think he is too good for f1?

Finally the riddle is solved.

Perhaps one could write

Rosberg>[Hamilton, M.Schumacher]

[Rob]

Is Bernie > Senna possible at all?

I don't think Bernie ever beat a team mate. By the time he was part of a team, it was his team and he only dabbled anyway. It would be like Tony Fernandes entering a Lotus for a bit of fun. Bernie was always the slowest Connaught.

[Wheels23]

DNQ'd twice. So no chance we can make Bernie better than anyone

Former team-mate pairings?

Kovalainen > Trulli > Alonso = Hamilton

[Buttoneer]

Bold bit = bullshit too far for this thread, I'm afraid.

Either Hamilton > Alonso per FIA standings or Alonso> Hamilton per races finished ahead. If you use the latter measurement, then you have to do the same with Kovi & Trulli.

The bullshit needs to be consistently applied, even if it is with a shovel rather than a 000 fine art brush.

He beat Barrichello, Coulthard, Panis, McNish et al to the 1992 F3000 title.

Wasn't HHF supposed to be better than Schumacher anyway?

How can people say Barrichello>Button? According to the rules the entire periode they were teammates has to be considered.

Captain Teague's voice; The code is the Law!


1. A driver 'X' beats driver 'Y' in the same team, this is an absolute statement of their ability.

And

2. If the drivers were teammates over a number of years, we will consider the total period.

Come on we can still get him beating Button, but you'll have to put more effort in

Buttoneer (the keeper of the code) needs to clarify Rule 1&2.

Edited by fieraku, 19 August 2011 - 17:14.

[Rurouni]

Buttoneer (the keeper of the code) needs to clarify Rule 1&2.

If it weren't for rule #2 then it would be too easy. Basically rule #2 is an extension to rule #1. Of course in the event they were tied on points you can look at the official standing... or better yet, invoke rule #8

So if it weren't for rule #2 we could have Button>Barichello>Button... which wouldn't be fun at all

[midgrid]

He beat Barrichello, Coulthard, Panis, McNish et al to the 1992 F3000 title.

And also Alboreto in 1993, which opens up some intriguing historical possibilities.

[Buttoneer]

Buttoneer (the keeper of the code) needs to clarify Rule 1&2.

The rules don't need clarifying. The first says that one driver must beat the other, and the second provides the conditions under which that rule operates. On that basis, Barrichello doesn't beat Button. Might be possible to do a count to see whether Barrichello finished in front more often (rule 8), but then you need to apply that across your entire chain to be consistent.

Bernie was better team boss than Prost.
