Grand Prix Rejects

The First GP without Nyck. Because he's goneskies and replaced by a non-rookie, the rookie point is goneskies. I'm open to suggestions for anything else. I was thinking first to pit going forwards but it's up for debate.



We will miss you Nyck

As you note, the question is still valid in principle given there are still two rookie drivers remaining on the grid; that said, as others note, in practice it is unlikely that Sargeant will be ahead of Piastri in normal race conditions for the foreseeable future.

Maybe the simplest option is just to remove that particular challenge and to not bother with another one if it is seen as being too easy? I believe that, in previous seasons, we did just remove nominations for that challenge where that was the case.

It would take quite a lot to have all these predictions succeeding.

True, but not impossible. He is currently 4 places ahead of Albon, which is almost Infinitely Improbabile by itself, but something could still happen towards the end of the Race to put him last , earning him ROTR, LP and DBTMOTR...

OK, he's just pitted, putting him last again...
