Firstly...


/rant

It's almost time to declare this 2011 Formula One season officially open.
Let's forego the traditional Big Scissors And Ribbon treatment, and break out the bubbly.

I'm not condoning of course, drunken loutish behavior, or even that you should buy a $400 magnum of Mumm to pop open the moment your driver steps on the podium, as:-
A) you're wasting alcohol, and
B) champagne, HDTV's and living room carpet do not mix well together.

Instead, I propose we raise our glasses, tinnies, bottles and flasks and together create a kick ass drinking game.

Of course there is a huge chasm of sobriety caused by the axing of One J. Legard. To the creators of "Legard Bingo", my
liver would like a word...yet I drink in your honor

But we must persevere.
Post your ideas here and, like the afternoon after the morning after the night before, we'll try to piece it all together.

A couple to start:-

BBC-centric-
Every time Brundle refers to his Formula One career
Every time Coulthard starts an answer with "Well..." or "indeed..." two-shot rule applies for "Well, indeed..."
Every time a comment is made about Eddie Jordan's sweat/ fashion sense.
Every time Brundle interviews a know nothing celeb on the grid walk.

Other-
Every time the words " for sure..." are uttered.
Every time Rubens complains, moans, rants or has a hissy fit. This applies to team-radio communications, throwing of tiller devices, Michael etc.
Safety Car periods!
Mind numbingly dumb comments from Bernie about how the sport should change this week.
Nicole sightings in the pit/garage. If she's jumping, then to do your shot so must you be. (messy yes, but if the glove fits...)
Ross Brawn eating a banana. No really, he eats a LOT of bananas!

Let's have some fun with this, remember it doesn't have to be alcohol
But it works better if it is

Suggestions?

[Henrytheeigth]

How about when Brundle mentions the consantina effect when a hairpin is involved? We all need a shot or two for that!

[Captain Tightpants]

Can I refine some rules a bit?

When the safety car is deployed, drink one finger for each lap it is out.

If Vitaly Petrov spins, take one finger. If he crashes out, finish your drink.

If Lewis Hamilton beats Jenson Button, take one finger. If Button beats Hamilton, finish your drink.

If team orders are issued, finish your drink.

If the stewards make a controversial ruling, throw up.

[gm914]

Nice ones

Of course it's a 'finger' every time Vettel wins, too.
Although I can see people wanting to throw up as well

[roadie]

Excellent thread, although I'm not sure I'll be participating at 6AM for the Australian race!

I'd like to submit 2 fingers for each time someone complains about the tyres either in the race via team radio or in the press conference

[jonpollak]

I am a charter member of the original BBC F1 Drinking game.
So...joining this is not really a good idea if I want to live to see the end of this season...

Heh, if you string Ted Kravitz's catchphrases together you get a coherent sentence:

"I'm in the McLaren garage, and I'll tell you what: I don't believe it! They say there is nothing wrong with his car - he doesn't need to stop again."

[Clatter]

Each time the "Trulli train" is mentioned.
Each time someones GF\father\hangeron is shown on screen.

[jonpollak]

NOOO...not that one.
We've got no chance of seeing the checkered flag if that's in play.

[Longtimefan]

Great idea but I don't think I'll join in, I'd be rat arsed before the race started

[Crazy Ninja]

Awesome thread! I shall be awake and participating at 6am

[Tony Mandara]

All I've got is a bottle of Wild Turkey.....

mm'gonna be peshed as a pirrott!!

[nugat]

I've never played drinking games during the race, but the current qualifying system makes for a great drinking game.

1) Put all the drivers names in a hat.

2) All participants take it in turns to pull out a name until no drivers are left.

3) For each driver that gets knocked out of the first two qualifying sessions, the person who has that driver has to drink a shot.

4) In the final qualiying session, the person with the pole sitter has to take a double shot.

You can amend number 4 as you go along, if you find somebody hasn't been drinking enough


P.S you must have friends for this game to work

[ultrapro]

Every time Coulthard starts an answer with "Well..." or "indeed..." two-shot rule applies for "Well, indeed..."

That's just unsafe.

[abc02]

When Vettel flashes The Finger after getting a pole position, drink a Red Bull Vodka.
And whenever Vettel flashes The Finger after winning a race, drink a Jagerbomb.

[gm914]

Coming along nicely then

Let's drink to the new teams:-

1 shot every time an HRT, Virgin or Lotus manages Q2
Finish your drink if an HRT, Virgin or Lotus manage Q1
Finish your drink, (100%) then drink an additional 1 shot (7%) every time an HRT, Virgin or Lotus fails to qualify for the race.
Drink 1 shot for each new car that finishes in the points.
1 shot for every new team/Alonso blue flag altercation
1 shot (served standing on your head) every time Webber launches off a new team's car

I really liked Captain T's idea of a drink every time a Team Order is given.

How about every time a No.2 driver is told to move over for his No. 1, you line up 3 shots to each player.
They must finish the shots as quickly as possible, and the fastest must wear a "Fernando" hat for the duration of the race. The slowest drinker must wear a "Felipe" hat.
If one player spills a drink, he will wear a "Smedley" hat.

Keep 'em coming!

[Disgrace]

Going to be a sober one without Legard.

[Buttoneer]

A glass of whine, downed in one, every time a driver complains about the handling of the car on the radio. I'm hoping Jense will do me proud for this one in 2011.

[MadYarpen]

Damn, after 10 laps I will be totally wasted. I see no point in drinkig anything else than vodka, by the way.

[AyrtonSauna]

If you wanna drink then drink to the new teams like gm914 wrote.

Here's the plan.Simple,Very Simple rules here.

Rule 1.
No more than 10 standard drinks allowed during the race.That should stop anyone from collapsing,falling into a coma and dying of alcohol poisoning.

Step 1.
Choose a driver that you want to match your alcohol level to.His race position will dictate how much alcohol you consume during the race so choose wisely! It's simple...if your chosen driver is in 7th place then you can have 7 drinks during the race.If he happens to get up to 5th place during the race and you are only on your 3rd drink,then you only have 2 drinks left.If he get's to 4th position and finishes 4th and you already had your 5th drink then YOU LOSE! haha..You have to match the amount of drinks you have to his exact finishing position.
Likewise,if your chosen DRINKING GUIDE DRIVER is for example in 3rd position with 5 laps to go but his tyres get shot to pieces and ends up finishing 7th,then you only have 5 laps to drink the extra 4 drinks before the race ends!!...If you only manage 6 drinks then YOU LOSE! 7 and you win.

If you don't want to drink much then choose someone like the pole sitter! He'll give you 1 drink during the race if he wins and the Buzz of winning is always better than alcohol! If he crashes out then you have to have the 10 drink maximum.The same rule applies to any driver you choose having a DNF.10 drinks for you to drown your sorrows!!

If you wanna get blind drunk with 10 drinks during a race lasting 1 1/2 hours then choose a driver like Karthekeyan or Di Grassi.you can't go wrong! and you'll be drinking big time for the new teams! Hopefully there will be more longer wet races for you so you don't have to drink so fast!

If your'e aiming for 3,4 or 5 drinks then it'll be challenge.you might end up having only 1 drink or even 10!

Rule 2.
No drinking allowed before or after the race.Drinking allowed only during the race.No one can stop you from drinking before or after the race,but those drinks don't count in this game during the race.

Rule 3.
Non-Alcoholic drinks are allowed but you must choose either Alcohol or non-alcohol drinks before the start and you cannot change from alcohol to non-alcohol during the race,or from Non-alcohol to alcohol.
You see.. this is also a study of wether alcohol or non-alcohol drinkers perform better in this game.haha
The aim being to match the number of drinks you have to your chosen DRINKING GUIDE DRIVER'S finishing position before the chequered flag.Match it and you win! Simples..

I Dare You!

[pingu666]

no ones mentioned "critical" or crushle ?
might have todo one finger for those two

[Bunchies]

Coming along nicely then

Let's drink to the new teams:-

1 shot every time an HRT, Virgin or Lotus manages Q2
Finish your drink if an HRT, Virgin or Lotus manage Q1
Finish your drink, (100%) then drink an additional 1 shot (7%) every time an HRT, Virgin or Lotus fails to qualify for the race.
Drink 1 shot for each new car that finishes in the points.

If one player spills a drink, he will wear a "Smedley" hat.

Keep 'em coming!

During tough economic times, this is the best way to save alcohol. I applaud your thrift!

[Captain Tightpants]

Best. Rule. Ever.

[Captain Tightpants]

A special one for St. Patty's Day:

If any day of a Grand Prix weekend takes place on March 17th, everyone must begin their sentences with "This reminds me of when I was at Jordan" every time they go to open their mouth (you don't have to say it once for every sentence).

If the person saying it can make an Eddie Jordan Story out of it (bonus points if it's for everyday things completely unrelated to racing), then everyone else must take two fingers.

If anybody forgets to start their sentences with "This remins me of when I was at Jordan", then they must finish their drink.

Example of this include:

"This reminds me of when I was at Jordan. Damon was about to come in for his stop and we thought we could get him back out in front of Eddie Irvine. I wanted to see it happen, but I needed to take a piss and couldn't hold it in any longer." (said when excusing oneself from the race for a toilet break)

"This reminds me of what I was at Jordan. I had a bet with Frank that Jarno would beat Juan Pablo in qualifying at Silverstone. He didn't, so I wound up in the Williams motorhome that night cooking for the team. The bastard had me make roast beef and yorkshire pudding just to rub it in." (said when your girlfriend asks what you're making for dinner)

And so on and so forth.

[black magic]

a drink every pitstop by a car not runninng in top 10

every replay of whether driver deployed wing before the mandated line in the track

every time brundle describes something as mega

[krapmeister]

For Australian viewers, everytime Greg Rust prefixes Mark Webber with 'Australia's' have a drink.

Of course with this rule though, it is likely you'll pass out before the race even starts...

[Captain Tightpants]

every replay of whether driver deployed wing before the mandated line in the track

Won't happen. The rear wing cannot be deployed before the line. The driver can press the button, but nothing will happen.

[King Six]

we're all gonna be hospitalised before the race even begins

The Australian GP is happening at ridiculous o'clock over here, I guess I could sneak it in that it's drinking for the night rather than drinking for breakfast

[Buttoneer]

I'm wondering if any of the early licence pubs in London will be showing the race. There's a few around Smithfield and Borough markets which open at supid-o'clock in the morning for the market workers.

They were great for the 2002 footy World Cup but I've never really considered whether they'd be open on a Sunday for F1.

Pretty sure they aren't open on Sunday mornings. When I used to go past Smithfields when I was having to work the weekend it was pretty much deserted - apart from the clubbers...

[Sausage]

We could drink canberra milk whenever Webber is involved.

[ktsayshi]

For the U.S. viewers, I suggest a drink every time David Hobbs says "coo dee gray."

If he says it when Hamilton is trying to overtake someone, take two drinks.

If Hamilton can't get around or has to pass the other driver in the pits, finish your drink.

Between him and Steve Matchett, you'd be passed out before breakfast. I like it. Let's put it in.

[BullHead]

I'm not going to see the end of any of the races at this rate...

[Willow Rosenberg]

Lee McKenzie asking someone "just tell us what happened there" has to be included.

[Kvothe]

Great idea

I reckon a shot when its a wet weather race and when Brundle says either Button or Hamilton have a special feel for the conditions

Edited by Kvothe, 17 March 2011 - 19:01.

[Owen]

A glass of whine, downed in one, every time a driver complains about the handling of the car on the radio. I'm hoping Jense will do me proud for this one in 2011.

I'd start stocking up now if I were you.

[Owen]

Brundle-isms:

Overtake or drive round the outside referred to as a 'wall of death' manouevre

Car blows up, cue elaborate explanation about oil mixing with fuel/water and pistons grinding crankshaft etc etc etc

They are worthy of a shot each surely.

[F1Champion]

Surely it has to be "for sure", that way you get drunk with the post-qualifying comments shown on race day and on the grid walk. Then you can mellow out for the race and then top yourself up for the post race comments.

[Amphicar]

For McLaren fans I propose a variation on the old pub sign cricket game - take a drink for each limb of any animal that is mentioned. By the time they've explained the Moose and its octopus exhaust during the pre-race coverage you won't care who wins!

[ktsayshi]

I'm not going to see the end of any of the races at this rate...

That's why they invented the DVR.

Another one for the SPEED viewers: Take a drink every time Hobbsy says "Bobby Kubica" so it sounds like he's saying "barbecue pizza."

One drink every time Varsha says "Hellllooo there!" while a grid girl or unidentified demi-celebrity is on camera. (Two drinks if Will Buxton knows who she is.)

[RichardF1fan]

One drink every time there is an incident with Red Bull and DC takes Red Bulls side, even if it was obviously their fault.

[BullHead]

Not sure it will apply these days, but .. everytime Brundle says ' a box full of neutrals '

[gm914]

DC's "well indeed"s are going to put us in a serious hole, folks. 5 times in 10 minutes

Edited by fauxhemian, 26 March 2011 - 05:35.

[gm914]

Well, (drinks to DC) has anyone been playing thus far?

It'll be the last race taking place before Sunday dawn (US EST time) for a while, so I'm set up with the laptop, the ipad (live timing), the TV streaming the Beeb through the PS3, a big ol' bottle of Jameson, 2 shot glasses (always have one ready to go) and a dozen cervecas.

I have had to amend the Coulthard "Well" and "Indeed" -shot to just a swig of beer, or I'd crash out around the same time he used to, such is the frequency of its use...

Anyone thought to buy some Chinese beer in occasion?

Bottoms up fellas, enjoy the race!

[Sausage]

I played last week, just got out of the hospital today
