Track points for drivers and constructors: Brazil grand prix 2022

"Can we have a more interesting race next week, please?" we demanded in the report for Mexico. Brazil certainly delivered.

Thank goodness we don't pay attention to pole position, because the League would have imploded at the sight of Haas's Kevin Magnussen topping qualifying. What was he thinking? Poke us in the eye, why dontcha. Honestly, some people have no respect for losing.

All came, er, good in the end when Magnussen was taken out at the start of the race, earning him a whole bunch of Track Points. Honestly, we didn't sabotage things. Honest. McLaren earned their biggest points of the season thanks to Ricciardo crashing into Magnussen, and Norris trundling to a stop. And Perez and Verstappen, who love each other very much, scored their first Track Points since July.

This sprint weekend sees Sprint Drop points going to a warring Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, while our Raceday Special pivots once again, this time giving points to the second race retiree.

Track points for drivers and constructors: Mexico grand prix 2022

  

Here is what I dreamt about during the Mexico grand prix. Being chased by bears. Turning up late for a maths exam. Tentacles for fingers. Going the shops without trousers on. Floating above the grand canyon with a little helicopter hat on. Riding a hippo for fun. Falling through the sky. Playing tennis with Peter Andre. Sheep jumping over a fence.

Yuki Tsunoda topped the driver points after being bashed out of the race on lap 50 by a charging Daniel Ricciardo. Alonso's up there two as his run of bad luck continues. Meanwhile Haas had such a bad weekend, it was like they were reliving their Mazepin days.

Can we have a more interesting race next week, please?

The Lax Max Climax Punt

 

Max keeps winning. Win, win, win . It's all he ever does.

But with the championship all tied up, will Max Verstappen get bored of all this winning nonsense?

Bet that Max Verstappen does NOT win the season's closing race in Abu Dhabi. Read on to play this Punt.

Standings after the US (Austin) grand prix 2022

Here the latest standings following the 2022 US grand prix.

After a relatively low-scoring US grand prix, there's not a lot of change in any of the standings. Vladimir Mazepin have reeled in Strolling the ranks to just a few points at the top of the loserboard. Quietly, further down the listings, Camber Gamblers reach a new season high of 12th place.

Oh my crap, there is a MASSIVE change in the standings! Thanks to the FIA rescinding Alonso's penalty, we're entirely revised our points for the US grand prix. Vladimir Mazepin are back in the lead of the championship. And Camber Gamblers retain that new season high. Champagne all round! Unless you're Strolling the ranks,

In the drivers and constructor rankings, a few names have half-heartedly exchanged positions, like a couple of bored pensioners playing chess. No change. Rubbish. No change at all.

Track points for drivers and constructors: US (Austin) grand prix 2022

The US grand prix saw Ricciardo walking in on a horse, and a feisty Bull beating the prancing horse to the constructors' championship. In the world of F1 Losers, Carlos Sainz continued his Track Points dominance by getting hustled out of the race by Russell. Thanks to a rare double beige flag, Red Bull lead the constructor Track Points in Austin. Ferrari and Williams are pretty close behind.

But let's talk about what really matters.

Firstly, how the heck did the US announcer mangle Zhou Guanyu's name^ so badly? "Zchack Granzhoo?" What's next? Jock Vonstappen? Ferndangle Alonzie? Purry Gasmask? Ridiculous.

Secondly, the worst chequered flag waving^ ever. We can only imagine Guenther Steiner was in a hammock off camera demanding to be cooled down, with Tim Cook fanning him while Shaq O'Neal popped grapes into his mouth.

(The following points have been adjusted in the light of Alonso's 30-second penalty being withdrawn.)
