@krazykukurov I agree with you there. I disagreed on what you counted as finishing a race. Also, I doubt a driver who only completed 1 lap in his first two races and was beaten by Yuji Ide, Adrian Sutil (who by your definition doesn't deserve a drive because he's German), Karun Chandhok and Bruno Senna could win a race, nevermind a World Championship.

@tommykl you are playing on pedantics in the hope of making nick look better. if he does not finish a race, that is a race he has not finished in the points. nick only finished 40% of his races in the points. That is of the races nick started, only 40% he finished in the points. Saying the DNF results do not factor into this is preposterous.

@krazykukurov I agree with you on the fact that you don't score points wether you retire or not. However, you said that to finish an F1 race, it didn't matter how many laps you did and that you could finish the race in a wall, which isn't true. To be counted as a finisher, you must cross the finish line after the chequered flag drops, whether you are classified or not.

[krazykukurov]

@tommykl you are wrong. if you start the race, and do not finish in the points you finished outside the points. It doesn't matter if you retire or not. A DNF is 0 points for the team. If you are a boxer and you retire from a fight without getting knocked out, that counts as a loss. If you retire hurt from a tennis match, your opponent is awarded the win. If you are a 100m sprinter and you injure yourself, it still counts as a race you didnt win. Your really are clutching at straws.

[tommykl]

@krazykukurov No. In that case, your race is ended, but you didn't actually finish the race. To finish, you must cross the start-finish line after the chequered flag is waved. Also, Heidfeld didn't hit the wall or make a gigantic mistake in 2010. Kobayashi did in qualifying at Singapore.

[krazykukurov]

@tommykl if you start a race and someone crosses the finish line or the event is red flagged and later deemed to be complete, the race finishes, regardless of how many laps you completed or how far down the order you are. Nick heidfeld finished in the points in 40% of races that he started in 2010. If you retire your car after colliding with a wall you have finished your race. Its not rocket science. Just another fanboy attempting to skew the statistics in his BF's favour.

[tommykl]

@krazykukurov You said that Nick finished out of the points more than he did in the points. However, for someone to finish outside of the points, he has to finish in the first place. Also, as you said, points aren't everything.

[krazykukurov]

@tommykl oh okay because if you get a DNF after two collisions in the one race then it doesn't count as not scoring points ^.^ Maybe we should adjust the 2011 rankings for hamilton, because if you exclude the races he ran into felipe then he will have surely done better than 5th :)
