Now that they've disqualified 20 % of the field, I'd like to hear/read your opinions on how to deal with the situation in this game. As it happens, the rules are a bit vague in this regard.
Here's what I'd do:
1. I don't know when they fiddled with the brake discs but I'd like to treat qualifying as if nothing unusual happened. Is that OK/fair?
2. The FIA seem to classify the disqualified ahead of the DNF victims. I'd like to not differentiate between the two.
Comments? Suggestions? Voices of reason? Now would be a good time to speak up. I'm particularly interested in your views on the DQ vs DNF issue as that interpretation can have a rather interesting effect on certain duel outcomes (such as the Williams - Renault showdown, which is a bit of a funny one no matter how I decide to rule it).
I'll let this thread linger here for a couple of days before posting the results. That should give you enough time to send feedback. If I don't hear from you, I'll just do as I please.

even if its not suiting my bets I would say:
1) sounds quite ok for me
2) the official result is fine for me...
hope this puts me on top of the standings..

As for the race part, it seems that the choices can be narrowed down to two:
- the original race result stands: DQs are ignored, we'll pretend they never happened
- the official race result stands: DQs are taken into account and considered non-results just like DNFs
Pick one. I'll go with the majority vote; so far it seems to be 2-1 in favor of the official result.
And thank you for responding! Cheers!

For what it's worth, I've done the calculations based on both the pre-scrutineering and official results. As far as the championship goes, the difference isn't too drastic. However, the result for the Canadian GP changes quite a bit: for one of the players the difference is no fewer than 25 places, for another it's 16, for yet another 15 etc. I will not reveal who these people are as I don't want to influence their voting. On average, you're likely to gain or drop just a few places.

I guess, another option would be not to take into account this race at all.
