TOP TRACK POINTS IN BRAZIL
Your drivers and constructor earn Track Points for your team, which can then be added to with Boosts, Punts and Forecasts, and improved with Ejector Seats. Here are the Losers teams that earned the most Track Points in this race.
🔢 Cruther’s Junior and less well funded team B scored 52 Track Points, better than any other team, and great basis for three Boost Buttons
🔢 Arch rivals Nikita Putin and Strolling the ranks each came away with 46 Track Points, both helped by the tribulations of Ricciardo and Haas
🔢 Magnussen helped Spoiler Alert in their tally of 45 Track Points, with three Boost Buttons turning that into a stonking score
🔢 Work Shop Boys brought home 44 Track Points despite Bottas scoring zero.
🔢 And Hot Hot Hovercraft complete our top Track Pointers with 40.

PODIUM OF SHAME
The three lowest Track Pointing teams at each race will be made to play automatic team actions. Next year, we're going to make all Podium of Shame teams launch an Ejector Seat, so consider yourself lucky, losers listed here.
😳 Cockpit Misfits will be made to play an automatic Race Result Forecast.
😳 Tied on second-to-last worst Track Points are Cruther’s Car Co. and Panda Pops. They're being forced into a Prancing Duck and a Lax Max Climax punt respectively.
😳 VroomerDoomer were the worst Track Pointer in Brazil. We will automatically eject Zhou from their team, and replace him with Tsunoda.
Teams featured in this Podium of Shame will have any resulting points losses waived. Team pages will be updated soon.
EJECTOR SEATS IN BRAZIL
If you Eject team members and at the next race, you earn more Track Points than the previous pre-Ejected race, you get a 5-point Ejector bribe.
💺 Alpine Fresh: 5-point bribe
💺 Scrapyard 17: no bribe, just sadness

FAST FORECASTS IN BRAZIL
It's 20 points for a perfect
Fast Forecast prediction, 5 points if it's close (within two places for the grid and race predictions, or dropping at least one place on the opening lap), and minus-5 for any other guess. We now give a 'bribe' of 5 extra points to any team that makes two perfect or close guesses.
Grid Position Forecast | Perfect = Ocon | Close = Latifi, Alonso, Stroll, Bottas
Opening Lap Forecast | Perfect = no-one | Close = Leclerc
Race Result Forecast | Perfect = Vettel | Close = Schumacher, Zhou, Stroll, Bottas
🔮 Perfect scores: None - as with this race's Pitlane Punts, your Forecasts bombed badly!
🔮 Close scores: Camber Gamblers, Cockpit Misfits, Nikita Putin, Strolling the Ranks, Vladimir Mazepin, What Verstappened
🔮 Wrong guesses: everyone else

WHAT'S NEXT?
We have one race left in the 2022 season, after which we will announce the 2022 champion of the F1 Losers League.
You can make a last-ditch attempt at loserdom with a Forecast, a Punt or an Ejector Seat if you want. You know where the links are.
Before we reach our thrilling and/or boring climax, we'd like to thank everyone for participating in this year's League. Whether you furiously Punted your heart out, or entered your team and left it to wither with neglect, we appreciate you being involved. You are losers, every last one of you.
The League will be back for 2023. Now get a Forecast in for Abu Dhabi or we'll break your face.
