Hoses of the Holy in the Parallel Universe

Spoonface

I drew Spoonface in the office Formula 1 sweepstake, which you'd think would be good news, come the end of the season, but we added a lot of our own rules to spice things up.

A lot of the rules I made up were aimed at making sure Spoonface couldn't win, viz:

Bonus Points:
Schumacher Bonus
2 bonus points awarded if any of your drivers baulk Michael "Spoon Face" Schumacher for more than one lap.
5 Bonus points awarded if any of your drivers take him out!

Crazy incident Bonus
2 bonus points awarded if any of your drivers are involved in a bizarre incident. i.e.. Pit mechanic run over (not fatally), tyre falls off, David Coulthard qualifies inside the top 6 etc (joke).

Team Mate Take out Bonus
5 bonus points awarded if any of your drivers take out their team mate

Penalties:
Team Order Victory Penalty
5 points to be deducted if any of your drivers are party to a team orders influenced victory

Unsporting Behaviour Penalty
2 points to be deducted if any of your drivers are deemed to have acted unsportingly (other than towards M Schummacher)

So, I see tough times ahead. Now we'll see who really wins the championship.
