UncreativeUsername37 · Post by **UncreativeUsername37** » 02 Oct 2012, 18:07

I have an idea as to how that could work. Vettel gets pole, then gets involved in a start crash and has to pit, coming out way behind everyone else. In an absolutely brilliant drive (fastest lap), he slowly overtakes everyone on his way to second with only a few laps left (IIDOTR), but crashes when attempting to pass Alonso for the lead (first retirement, ROTR, and DBTMOTR).

In MF95's case, don't count the Pole-DNQ in, and he'll be fine. (Didn't say the Fall Guy, he didn't get that right anyway) Just my two cents. Also, no -10 points for him, because of your deadline
