Gasly would have been P2, and Prost very far, like P18

Also it doesn't look like Alonso pit at any point? Although that might put one of my drivers out if it's a mistake D:

Pit on Lap 8, sadly I can’t find a way to show it yet, or at least I haven’t thought of ideas how to show that

Maybe a dash on lap 8 to indicate they are pitting without showing what their next tyres are?
Also does Bob Wob really have 0.4s traffic, I still don't see why :D

Lol, erm...thats what happens when you multi task, sorry lol.
My final results are still correct, but I added the final traffic wrongly for Lap 8 :/ Doesn’t affect the standings thankfully on who goes down, so thank goodness

Australian GP: Final Results
And Bob Wob does it! With that blistering start to the race, he continued to lead the race from the start to the finish, and grabs the first ever win in OSR! While he encountered some traffic pitting, it didn't affect him to the very end.
Emerson Fittipaldi is close behind and finishes 2nd, after making a stunning pit on Lap 11 without any traffic. A slight distance away, Rio Haryanto in the Racing Point car narrowly pips Cooper's Raikkonen and Shadow's Kim Fuuk Soo to the final podium, having used similar strategies but just having that advantage from the starting grid position. Unlucky for Raikkonen and Kim, but still a race that both can be proud of none the less.
Brabham's Jolyon Palmer crosses the line at 6th, which is a stunning turnaround considering he started 19th on the grid. A 3 stop strategy was not expected by anyone, but it worked to great effect as he gave Brabham some joy following the early elimination of Alonso.
Sum Tin Wong and Crashtor Maldonado benefitted from starting on Harder tyres at the start of this race, having avoided the pit traffic by the Options and the Softs, and they finish 7th and 8th respectively. Tiago Monteiro and Keke Rosberg rounded of the points position,with Keke being the luckiest of the Option 3 lap racers this race, being the only one to get points of the entire group.
With this race done, all eyes now turns to the next GP, the hot and sunny Bahrain GP...
Driver's Championship
Constructor's Championship

I knew Sam Bam was in trouble when I saw all those Options :P I always believed in Bob Wob though. Nice to see Dino Miles behind both my drivers ;)

Chew, did the post race control discover any illegal parts on my cars and I got DSQ from the Teams' Championship?

OSR heads to Bahrain for the ever hot Bahrain Grand Prix. The excitement of the first race still remains, and we go into a race known for easy overtaking and being forgiving on mistakes that people might make during the race. Will we see another dominant Bob performance? Or would someone else rise to the challenge? A similar number of laps to the first race, but would that slight difference in the number change up the strategies for a team?
Race 2: Bahrain GP Track: Bahrain International Circuit Laps: 14
Deadline to send me your strategies would be 19:00 CET, Tuesday 19th January. Should all entries be received before the deadline, I might do the race early. Failure to send would mean a start crash for both your drivers.

Investigation completed, no illegal parts. Will upload the updated constructor standings :p

My strategy for Gasly was : "Driver 1 Tyre 1: Softs (5 Laps) Tyre 2: Medium (5 Laps) Tyre 3: Softs (5 laps)" I'm absolutely gutted (Yes I will keep crying all night)

By the way, any silly games host here knows how to resize the pictures so that they don't take up the entire screen in such a magnified size? :/

You reckon?!?!?

As soon as I was collecting data and saw so many people putting Options 3 laps in the first stint, I knew it was going to be interesting...because the time lost + pit is just going to be really high
Honestly, I was more happy that there were not too many tiebreakers, and those that were there were mainly due to people sending the same strategies, which I can’t do much about

Bump! Reminder that deadline for submission is in a day, or slightly more than 24h!
Have received around 5/11 of the submissions so keep them coming in! Reminders will be sent later tonight :)

Bahrain GP - Starting Grid
There can only be one word that can potentially describe the Bahrain GP - Chaos. 13 racers, more than half the field, decided to start the day on Soft tyres, which can only mean there would be some extremely high traffic in the pits. A further 5 starts on Options, which could either be a lifesaver or a nightmare should they all choose to pit together. And only 4 drivers, Sebastian Buemi (Prime), Mika Hakkinen (Mediums), Jolyon Palmer (Mediums) and Sean Gelael (Mediums) has opted to start on harder compounds. This might potentially give them the chance to pass the others should the rest on softer compounds be trapped in traffic this race.
The Fittipaldi duo of Emerson and Keke continue their strong starts as they take pole once again. Minardi and Toro Rosso also starts in the top 10, obviously hoping to put their poor start to the season behind them. Previous race winner Bob Wob and his Haas partner Sam Bam starts 5th and 6th respectively, on the same tyres as they did in the last race - Another interesting one to watch. Arrows meanwhile start back of the grid - Not the start they would have planned considering the need for points on their end, but with such an open race the right strategies might be able to push them up still.
The race is set, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds....
Just as an extra note, it might be important to have a look at the tiebreaker rules before this race starts, because it is very likely that there would be ties given the number of people starting on similar tyres...just putting it out there ;)
Next update would be sometime after lunch, I'll let you guys look at this in horror :D

Do you use Excel for the pictures? If so, just decrease the zoom on Excel and screenshot that way :)

IF you save the image to your desktop/computer then open in paint, click resize and crop by percentage (e.g 50%). then re-save it and upload to something like imgur and voila. It's not that time consuming once you do it a few times over. It's how i've always re-sized things. Just so you know, forum images seem to have a maximum dimension of 690 pixels wide. Worth knowing so that if you ever have a very wide image, you know how much the forum will auto-shrink it in order to 'fit to page'.

Only if you bring Dino Miles with you. It would be too scary without his comforting presence.
