Quick glance at the post-race proto-points, it looks like the best scorer this round was @Pupik on 68.5, but @Jordan and @Touring Mars remain tied for first on 134.5 - @Miodrag and @Pupik tied for third on 129.5.

Weirdly, everyone got an x.5 score this week, after only two in round one...

I can taste the champagne already

Tastes like

Thanks, stewards.

Alonsoyoyo has changed the points a little, but only a little... Again, let me know if you think you have been miscalculated:

[Jimlaad43]

Dang, if I hadn't made a transfer I would be 3rd

 

[MagpieRacer]

Better round for my line up, by about 10 points. Happy with that.

 

[PaMu1337]

@Famine are you also keeping track of the results per chassis, engine and driver? Would be interesting to see an overview of that if you have it available already (saves me some work from doing it myself )

Looking like Mercedes and Ferrari will be switched when I recalculate the tokens in four races' time

Edit: In fact, let's flag how everyone is doing with respect to their token values and see how things might be going ahead of Monaco...

DRIVER	ENGINE	CHASSIS
5 TOKENS	Verstappen, Leclerc↓, Hamilton, Russell↓	Honda/Red Bull Powertrains	Red Bull, Mercedes
4 TOKENS	Perez↑, Sainz↑, Norris↓, Ocon↓	Ferrari↓	Ferrari, McLaren↓
3 TOKENS	Alonso↑, Bottas↓, Magnussen, Gasly↑	Mercedes↑	Alpine↓, Aston Martin↑
2 TOKENS	Stroll, Tsunoda↑, Guanyu↓, Albon↓	Renault	Haas↑, Alfa Romeo↓
1 TOKEN	Hulkenberg↑, Piastri, Sargeant↑, de Vries	-	AlphaTauri↑, Williams

Bearing in mind that I'll only be moving things up or down one token's value at a time (and there's four drivers, two chassis, and at most one engine per token value), you can probably work out who's going where - at least at the moment.


I have spotted a small flaw in my plan with token value changes, regarding timing.

To make it fair on everyone what I'll do is post the recalculated token values at 1200UTC on Wednesday after each sixth race (that's Wednesday May 24, Wednesday July 26, and Wednesday October 11).

At that point all team token values will also be recalculated and locked in. That will give you some time to make changes before the token values change if you suspect your squad will be losing tokens, and after the token values change if you suspect your squad will be gaining tokens.

[Mr Grumpy]

@Famine, before the Australian GP practice 1 starts at stupid-o-clock tomorrow morning, just checking you've changed my Sainz/Perez driver swap I requested?

@Famine, before the Australian GP practice 1 starts at stupid-o-clock tomorrow morning, just checking you've changed my Sainz/Perez driver swap I requested?

Any swaps that have been posted in this thread have been noted or, if they haven't, will be taken account of later on when I realise I haven't done it

 

[PaMu1337]

Have fun dealing with the inevitable disputes on the finishing order

 

[Famine]

Well, that was mad.

Quick early points suggest @Jordan and @Touring Mars still leading on 207pt, and @deviln3 the top scorer this week (thanks to some major swaps) on 80.5 - which I think is the first possible-maximum score we've had (no valid squad would outscore it).

 

[Famine]

Updated the first post with the revised points table:

As we're halfway to the first token recalculation, I'll also post a draft movement table shortly - but that'll be the last one before the token recalculation, just to keep a bit of mystery about it all

Remember that when race six has finished, you have until the Wednesday after the race to make any swaps you wish to make before the new token values - so if you think you're going to lose value in your squad, you'll need to do it before that happens. If you think you're going to gain and want to bank the additional tokens, it's better to wait until the new values.

 

[Nuschel01]

If I wanna change my team I just have post it in here?

 

[Famine]

If I wanna change my team I just have post it in here?

Yep. Or send me a DM if you want to be secretive and stuff

 

[Famine]

I've locked in the scores for R3 now, as nobody's suggested anything may be amiss

Here's the current status of the tokens mentioned above, which will be the last one I reveal before they're actually updated on the Wednesday after R6:

DRIVER	ENGINE	CHASSIS
5 TOKENS	Verstappen, Leclerc↓, Hamilton, Russell↓	Honda/Red Bull Powertrains	Red Bull, Mercedes
4 TOKENS	Perez↑, Sainz↑, Norris↓, Ocon↓	Ferrari↓	Ferrari↓, McLaren↓
3 TOKENS	Alonso↑, Bottas↓, Magnussen↓, Gasly↑	Mercedes↑	Alpine↑, Aston Martin↑
2 TOKENS	Stroll↑, Tsunoda↑, Guanyu, Albon↓	Renault	Haas, Alfa Romeo↓
1 TOKEN	Hulkenberg↑, Piastri, Sargeant, de Vries	-	AlphaTauri↑, Williams

 

[-Fred-]

I'm replacing Bottas with Stroll.

Woohoo not last anymore

 

[Famine]

RACE SIX ENTRY DEADLINE - 1030 UTC, Friday May 19

So... about that.

This race is now not going ahead, but I'm going to make the Token updates as scheduled - to give us 5, 6, 6, and 5 race-blocs between Token updates.

That means that if you think you're going to lose tokens on your current selection, you should to make any transfers before 1200UTC on Wednesday May 24, but if you think you're going to gain them then hold off.

The other two Token updates will happen on Wednesday July 26, and Wednesday October 11, also at 1200 UTC.

 

[PaMu1337]

I will swap out Guanyu Zhou and replace him with Stroll

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I would like to swap Sargeant for Stroll.

Are the new token values similar to the above or is there any changes?

 

[XJ40]

I am going to follow Ferrari's example, by insisting there is nothing wrong with my decision making and stick with my squad for the rest of the year.

 

[Famine]

Are the new token values similar to the above or is there any changes?

Damn, I forgot I was in a field for this... umm... I'll be right back.

 

[Famine]

New Token Values - and since I forgot I wasn't available to do them on Wednesday, the deadline for swaps is now one hour before qualifying on Saturday, or 1300 UTC on Saturday May 27....
