Well that was unexpected, and not nearly as entertaining as the penultimate round.

Last time I looked it was relatively mild. I'm not sure how the conspiracy theorists are going to explain it, though.
IIRC, F1 used to have a system back in the 80s and early 90s where they took your best 11 (out of 14/15 I think) results - so it allowed for a few breakdowns/crashes etc. Personally, made it much more entertaining and meant the championship normally went down to the wire.
Depends on the points for places arrangements. One point for a win, and sfa for losers would have given a different result. Then again, the rules were known at the outset. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..87753../..22653.../..31893.

I had this discussion following the last race. "If you want to finish first, first you got to finish" and all that shite, but it's right. It seems odd though, that someone with only 2 race wins (or was it 3?) all season wins the championship. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I bet you're glad no-one saw you lob that pint of oil on the track at "just" the right moment -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
You've got to admire Bayliss's race though. Well maybe you don't, but I do. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
