Pitlane Punt: F I Eh?

Pitlane Punt: F I Eh?

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has caused controversy by meddling too much in F1 and its future ownership, and for misogynistic remarks.

Will Ben Sulayem continue to be a thorn in F1's side? Bet that the controversies will continue. Read on to play this Punt.

The bet:

  • Bet that Mohammed Ben Sulayem will cause controversy any time in the next month
The odds:
  • 4:1 odds
The stake:

  • 3 points
  • Or 1 point for cowards

Pedantry:

  • By "controversy", we mean a news story in which Ben Sulayem puts his foot in it or causes the ire of people in F1
  • The controversy must be F1 related, and feature on a significant F1 news source
  • The League's adjudication on what counts for this Punt is final

Example:

  • If you place this bet with a 3-point stake and Ben Sulayem is secretly filmed firing Toto Wolff out of a cannon, instead of paying your stake, you win 12 points

Deadline:

  • There is no deadline for this Punt: it applies to the calendar month following placement of the bet

Result: 

  • Winnings will be given or stakes taken in the scores of the race following Punt success or expiration

The League reserves the right to change the terms of this Punt without notice. There are other active Pitlane Punts. See them here.
