Last year during the summer break we embarked on a quest to see what stupidity we could prove by simple teammate comparison and Gillesthegenius was able to show that Danica Patrick is better than most of the current F1 champs on the grid http://forums.autosp...a...t&p=5232814

Early this year in F1 we had a really well mixed grid with cars and drivers performing at different levels from what we might normally expect, and this threw up some interesting results and a smattering of opinions that maybe these drivers were all damn good, and just needed to have the right equipment and opportunities to become WDC's. I think we all know that these drivers would not compete unless they believed they had it in them to win races and championships.

So lets see if we can give them a boost up the table.

The purpose of this thread is to try and lay on the bullshit thicker than last year (but not spread it as far) and try to get current drivers or teams that are losing badly in the WDC or WCC table out front. How can we get Pedro de la Rosa to the head of the standings? Or better still, crown HRT as WCC leaders? Is it even possible? How far up the table can we get these guys? How far down can we get Alonso and Red Bull? Maybe you just want Kimi to be heading the table. Give it a try.

The rules of this thread are;

• Standard 2012 points allocations may not be used, especially in any challenge to a bullshit system used by a poster. Obvious really, but I learned last year that sometimes these things do need to be said. You can use any of the previous systems though, if you find that they work.
• Any metric employed must be measurable and demonstrable. ‘He looks faster’ is neither measurable nor demonstrable, but number of career race participation's, overtakes or retirements is.
• Be clear about the measure used. You must provide enough information that others may verify, duplicate or challenge your findings. Googlefight search strings, for example.
• It doesn’t matter if the metric used is a positive or negative one. If it’s real, and measurable, then it counts.
• The ‘winner’ is the poster who can get the current WDC or WCC table bottom feeders to the top and the current leaders to the bottom by the same measure. However, if you just want to usurp the current leader with anyone else, go ahead and see what you can do.
• In the unlikely event of a tiebreaker, a positive metric (such as number of overtakes) wins over a negative one (such as the number of retirements). If we have more than one positive, my word is final.
• You can go back in time to build your numbers if this helps, but it must apply only to this years championship. We are not looking for ‘Bestest Evah!’ but all drivers have driven the same number of races in 2012, but the total ever driven differs greatly across the grid.
• Don’t get mad, get even. I don’t want to see cries of ‘fanboy’ or ‘hater’ here. If you’re upset that ‘KarthikeyanFan’ has found a way to get Narain ahead of Vettel, then find a new way to get Vettel to the top. Overcome them with bullshit, not douchery.
• As with last year, those who take any of the bullshit seriously should be awarded the rolleyes smiley, especially those who clearly demonstrate that they have not properly read this post and these rules.

So to get the ball rolling, Force India are at the top of the WDC table with 11 typed characters and HRT at the bottom with three. The full WCC table is;

1. Force India (11)
2. Toro Rosso (10)
=3. Caterham (8)
=3. Red Bull (8)
=3. Mercedes (8)
=3. Marussia (8)
=3. Williams (8)
=8. Ferrari (7)
=8. McLaren (7)
10. Sauber (6)
11. Lotus (5)
12. HRT (3)

Congratulations Vijay Mallya!

BS, that table doesn't even take into account the numerological values of the letters involved. I have a corrected edition:

1. Toro Rosso (154)
2. Marussia (101)
3. Williams (98)
4. Lotus (87)
5. Force India (84)
6. Ferrari (75)
7. Red Bull (74)
8. Mercedes (72)
9. Caterham (69)
=10. Mclaren (66)
=10. Sauber (66)
12. HRT (46)

Lotus really punching above their weight, no doubt we can attribute this to Kimi Raikkonen

[Red17]

BS. Any given table must take in consideration the impact of constructors outside their F1 Bubble. Build a open wheeler? Big Deal! Swiming in the big Shark Ocean, that is the real challenge!

So, let's see what these guys are doing outside Bernie F1.

1- HRT. They have zero, nothing. Their car was made by Dallara, all they do is upgrade the thing using temporary engineers. Only a couple weeks ago they didn't have an HQ of their own!
2- Lotus. Not only they have been an exclusive Formula 1 outfit, but they have continuously licensed names over the years, no identity of their own. I do give them credit for at least have built all their cars so far.
3- Force India. Since it's not UB Racing I am dismissing the thousands of drinks they have made over the years (see below). But they have a bonus for the boss's yatch in Monaco which technically makes them the only earth-water entry in Formula 1.
4- Marrusia. Good thing they dropped the Virgin name or I would include the thousands of records published by Virgin as well as the plane fleet. So that's 2 cars to their name. They leap-frog Caterham for being virtually unknown outside Formula 1.
5- Caterham. Only 2 cars so far, the 7 and the 21 that was axed long ago.
6- Sauber. Tough one. But let's say the Lemans Sauber Mercedes and all other earlier C adventures count. If only Peter had some hair...
7 - Williams. We have shaving cream in hundreds and the non-official Clio. Sorry Frank, your name is too common.
8- McLaren. Again, 2 cars to their name. But they leap-frog Ferrari for their multiple entries as McLaren Electronics as well as the tons of complaints.
9- Ferrari. Over 60 cars built so far.
10- Mercedes. Over 80 cars to their name.
11- STR. Since It's now only half owned by Red Bull I am halving their impact to 2,35 bilion cans per year.
12- Red Bull. Reported to have sold 4,5 bilion cans last year.

There's nothing new under the sun is there? I did think that something like this had been done before and it has, at the end of 2009. Burai started this great thread to give everyone an opportunity to demote Jenson from his WDC winning position. There are some great ideas for alternative scoring in there, and a far better set of rules.

But you used the wrong rule. According to the great Greek sporting regs compiled in 16th century - in case of ties or photo finishes the younger guy wins over the older because the latter (older and wiser ) has a natural advantage of experience over the former

So lets turn your table on its head and RB wins with Williams languishing at the bottom.

there's no tie or photo finish between Williams and Horner but we can apply this rule on Ross & John!

Sorry, there's a backlog.

I think I'm clear on the basic premise; how well the teams are known outside the F1 world by reference to ...and that's where it loses me. In some you've talked about cars, in others yachts or hair...I'm just not sure where the consistency is. I do like the concept though as it's about as far outside the box as you can get. How much Whyte & Mackay has Mallya sold, I wonder?

Personally? Probably about as much as he's drunk. Or not...

Excellent thread:

In my World championship table the drivers are allocated a classification at the end of each race depending on the number of times they've been overtaken in a race, the more they are overtaken the higher up the classification they will finish. If there is a tie break between two or more drivers who have both been overtaken the same amount of times, the higher finishing position will be awarded to the driver who have overtaken the least during that race, and so on. In the result of a further tie break with two or more drivers having both been overtaken the same amount of times and pulled the same number of overtakes, then the positions will be awarded inverse to the drivers finishing position so the driver who finished lowest in the actual race will be awarded the highest position. The finishing position will be based on where the drivers were classified in the race by the Formula 1 governing body, regardless of any DNS' or DNFs.

Based on the above criteria drivers will then be awarded points equivalent to the 2012 system depending on where they are classified. For example the person who has been overtaken the most, will be at the top of the table and will receive 25 points, the person who has been overtaken the second highest amount of times will be awarded 18 and so on, and just like the 2012 system there are no points awarded for finishing lower than tenth. The points from each race will be added up cumulatively for each driver and by the end of the season the driver with the most points is the champion. Furthermore the points of both drivers of the same time will be added cumulatively together to reflect the number of points a team has scored and at the end of the championship the team with the most points wins the WCC. In the event of a tie in World Championship points, the higher position in the WDC will be allocated to the driver who has been overtaken the most in a single race. In the even that there is a further tie then it will be awarded to the person with the second highest amount of times overtaken in a race. This will continue until there is no longer a tie break.

All overtaking statistics have been taken from Clip the apex using the criteria below:

http://cliptheapex.c...ity/overtaking/

The overtaking figures for each race (across all data sets) do not include:
Position changes on the first lap of the race
Position changes due to drivers lapping backmarkers
Positions gained in the pits
Positions gained due to drivers yielding
Positions gained when a car has a serious technical problem; e.g. puncture, accident damage, etc.
The final criteria involves subjective judgements and consequently figures can never be regarded as ‘definitive’. Gaps in the available data, such as moves missed by TV cameras or obscured on lap charts by pit stops or retirements, mean that the data do not lend themselves to detailed analysis at the micro level, but are indicative of general trends.

I did think about making being lapped the main criteria, and using the overtaking statistics as count back, which would have have probably totally put the grid in reverse order but I didn't have the time.

I have written up the methodology and the statistics for ever race which I deemed to long to post, but I would be willing to do so at request.

I'd also like to note that my championship seems to heavily favour those who have completed races and not DNFd.

[7MGTEsup]

After reading through the thread from 2009 I have come up with a good system to level the playing field for everyone.

At the start of the season and then at 3 race intervals. Each car is driven by a third party professional driver and a lap time is set for each car (the fastest time achievable in each car by said driver) The fastest car has a weighting factor of 0 and each car after that has a weighting factor based on its time.

So if your car was 0.137 seconds slower than the fastest car your points would be weighted by that amount.

i.e. if you won you would get 25 x 0.137 = 3.425 on top of your points total for the race.

So in theory if you finished 6th in a HRT that was 2.375 seconds slower than the fastest car you would score more points than than if you won in the fastest car (8x2.375=19 19+8 = 27) V (25x0=25). As getting into 6th in an HRT would be much more heroic than winning in a Redbull.

This is probably a bit off topic sorry

[Red17]

I have come up with a more controversial championship. Penalties.

Reading through the wikipedia reports for each race in 2012 we have the following standings for penalties.
Do note that I have taken in consideration all penalties mentioned in the report including drive-throughs

According to my crude maths there are 15 drivers with penalties:

Maldonado 5
Perez 4
Hamilton 2
Schumacher 2
Pic 2
Kovalainen 1
Raikonen 1
Kartikayan 1
Vergne 1
Kobayashi 1
Hulkenberg 1
Grosjean 1
Webber 1
Rosberg 1
Vettel 1

Total by teams with most penalties:

Sauber 5
Williams 5
Mercedes 3
Lotus 2
Red Bull 2
Mclaren 2
Marrusia 2
Force India 1
Toro Rosso 1
Caterham 1
HRT 1
Ferrari 0

But we don't want the bad behavoiur guys to win!
So we flip the table and we have a surprise winner in Ferrari with HRT edging Caterham and the STR's eyeing the podium.

The same as we have now with points (same system) given for qualifying results (after penalties) and fastest laps as well.
Can someone do the math?

[Marbles]

It's common knowledge that a beautifully liveried race car is a better race car. If we use the Federal Standard 595 Federal Standard Color Reference System to assign numerical values to the liveries of the 2012 teams, we clearly see that the new, more innovative teams are spending money where it matters--on pretty paint.

Before we look at the results, there are a few limitations inherent with describing colors, and while FS-595's five-number system is widely considered to be among the best systems for color standardization, it is not perfect. As a result, I've made a few simplifications in my ranking. For example, the FS-595 system could allow us to assign points to the various reds used by several teams based upon their hues, intensities, etc. At the end of the day, though, color perception is an inherently subjective task, so it makes sense to simply concentrate on the primary colors within each teams' livery.

Finally, three teams are certain to generate some reasonable discussion. Having squandered their budgets on development costs, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes appear to have been relegated to inferior two color liveries this season. I believe most reasonable individuals would agree that the Ferrari is red and white, the McLaren is silver and orange, and the Mercedes is silver and green. Sure, there are other colors in there, but they are almost exclusively the result of the few sponsors these spendthrift teams have been able to attract.

Reprimand in Canada for contact with Senna in practice, fined for pit lane speeding in Malaysia.

I ivoke rule number 3 and challenge your claim.
How can a reprimand that has no pratical effect be the same as an actual penalty that demotes places in the race?.

[ATM_Andy]

Are you playing the Trumpington's Variations or the Tudor Court Rules?

[Red17]

Another Outside the Box Championship.
Tho this one is actually important for most teams bar one.

This is the chammpionship where the real mix up goes on. 3 tiers clearly defined, each one very tight.
This is also where the most cheating goes on, 2 teams need to be called to race control.
Please note that I am not accounting for supliers. Also, some teams use the term «partner» for sponsor.
Sponsor Championship, Most Logos.

Toro Rosso - 16 Does not have a proper partner page. They are listed on top of their site http://www.scuderiatororosso.com

McLaren - 13 (The main page has supliers and sponsors all mixed up, i have subtracted the number of supliers) http://www.mclaren.com/partners

HRT - 3 http://www.hrtf1team...patrocinadores/

As it is the table places Lotus alongside most of the midpack at the top. But it should be noted that Caterham and Force India's numbers are suspicous at best.

BUT.... if were to flip the table we would have a surprise winner in HRT beating Ferrari by far!

Now we're really getting to the heart of the matter.

Too much yellow kills a team's chances. Look at Renault, when they won the titles they had enough blue to offset the yellow.

Revived liveries from a bygone era are just ridiculous, especially if you take the name of a defunct team.

Too much red is for show-offs.

[Frank Tuesday]

The most important thing is to beat your teammate. 1 point for each position you finish ahead of your teammate. Max 10 points per event. For DNF, the finishing position is one lower that then last classified finishers. (ie. if the last finisher was 17th, all DNFs get 18 for point calculations) If you finish behind your teammate, you get 0, no negative points.

Very interesting, but the constructor table makes no sense. A team could have all 1-2s and would stil lose to a team who had all 3-8s...

[Red17]

WCC ordered by less ownership changes. If teams are tied they are ordered by letters to keep it simple since other tie breakers may have happened in diferent ownerships and eras.

Caterham - No changes in ownership.

Marrusia - No changes in ownership (apparently, ownership continued with Manor Grand Prix).

Williams - No changes of ownership.

Ferrari - 1 change of ownership.

McLaren - 1 change of ownership.

HRT - 2 changes of ownership.

Red Bull - 2 changes of ownership.

Sauber - 2 changes of onwership (yes 2, even if owner number 3 happens to be owner number 1)

Toro Rosso - 2 changes of ownership.

Force India - 3 Changes of ownership.

Lotus - 3 changes of ownership.

Mercedes - 4 changes of ownership.

Yeah, I agree, but it was easy. How about constructors are ranked by the order (not position) of their top finishing car in each race, using the current point system. eg. In Hungary, Vettel finished 4th, behind Hamilton, and the two Lotus. In this case, McLaren would get 1st (25pts) Lotus second (18pts) and Red Bull third (15 pts)...

That might have been a really poo one without the 'no points for DNF etc' decision which turns it into something much more interesting. It makes Schumie look good.
