I went

Verstappen C
Bottas
Ricciardo
Tsunoda

Red Bull
Mclaren
AlphaTauri
Alfa Romeo

 

[mike89]

Verstappen C
Leclerc
Norris
Tsunoda

RB x2
Mclaren
Alpha Tauri

Might've put a little too much stock in Mercedes having some problems but it felt like too much of a compromise trying to squeeze them in...

 

[Ironhawk]

Verstappen C
Norris
Gasly
Tsunoda

Mercedes
McLaren
Ferrari
AlphaTauri

Think Red Bull may have been a must in the cars, but seeing Perez missed Q3, maybe not.

I've gone for:

Max C
Perez

Red Bull
McLaren
McLaren
Haas

On the points scoring, the points for each car are effectively halved. So whilst you do get points for both cars, its only worth similar points as one driver.

The points are mainly based on qualifying and race results, but the other one is positions gained. If you start 15th and finish 10th, you get 20 points (four points for each position). I find this rule favours cars that qualify down the back always.

Mercedes are very expensive. If they don't dominate like last year, they will likely get cheaper.

First time I've not started Hamilton nor a Mercedes.

Checko is one of the best with handling his tyres, so I expect him to move up the grid in the race and have a good race.

I did see that, and I reckon someone like Giovinazzi might be a good shout for those points - his first laps were already great last year and he's in a much more competitive Alfa this season. Mind you, Checo and Tsunoda are good shouts to make up places tonight as well!

Its all based on final position though. Doesnt count positions made up that are later lost again.

Not long till the race now and we get some idea of which drivers/teams are likely to score well.

 

[tso]

Same old same old Hamilton lol

Made my score 677 (see if i'm near)

 

[mike89]

I make mine 678!

That was a fun little race to watch lots to like for the season ahead.

Boo to Bottas for nicking the fastest lap!

Looks like you got 754 and are 8th overall (Mike's Marauders). Well done!

680, 389th. Bit average, Gasly DNF hurt having both him and AT.

Good scores there.
I'm showing Cars (291) + Drivers (318) for a total of 609.
It's not showing the total or the updated league.
Is that normal? How long does it usually take to update?

Edit: just refreshed and it's updated

Based on the amount I was out I'm assuming the car gets overtake points as well as the driver. All in on the Red Bulls had my heart in my mouth early but seems to have paid off!

 

[tso]

Nearly right. 675pts (POS 425)

No need to kneejerk in this lol (not yet anyway )

FAN 184 best. POS 71k lol.
Leaders played their x3 on Hamilton though.

Yes Cars definitely get 4 points per overtake as well. They also get the 20 point bonus for fastest lap if one of your Teams has a driver that set's the fastest lap.

738 points for me for the first round to rank 54th Overall.

Decent start, and room to improve if Perez can qualify better and give Red Bull strategy options during the race with 2 cars vs Mercedes instead of just 1 car as has usually been the case in the past few years.

Pretty exciting to see a genuine fight between Hamilton and Verstappen for the victory, though disappointing to see Hamilton once again come out on top. At least the Merc's didn't disappear off into the sunset... Good sign for some decent racing this season.
