Full statement from Race Control

POST-RACE STEWARDS MEETING

It has come to the attention of the Fantasy GP Race Control that Alexander Albon was in fact a classified finisher for the Fantasy GP of Saudi Arabia. The driver crashed with 3 laps remaining, but due to the number of laps behind, he has been classified as 14^th with a status of DNF. Drivers who retired before this are not classified. Considering this information, Alexander Albon has now been credited with 6 bonus points and the Williams car 2 bonus points. Albon started 16^th and finished 14^th. 

The Bonus Prediction question for this race asked how many cars would retire from the race with the three options of 0-3, 4-5 or 6 or more. The spirit of the question is how many cars are finishing the race out of the expected 20. This race had the highly unusual situation where 2 cars did not actually make the start of the race. Technically only 4 or 5 cars retired from the race (depending on if you count Albon – DNF but also classed as 14^th). However, the spirit of the question, the answer would be 6 or 7 because Tsunoda and Schumacher also retired from the GP weekend. Considering this technicality and discussions around semantic and the spirit of the question, the race stewards have decided to award 10 Prediction Points for teams who predicted case b) 4 or 5 and those who predicted case c) 6 or more. In future the question will be rephrased to ask for the number of cars finishing the race.

Following the second race of the season, the pricing for drivers and cars has now been updated and team managers can now sell and buy cars and drivers ahead of round 3 in Australia. Price changes follow our algorithm with human oversight and relative pricing balancing. Note that price changes reflect actual race performance and Fantasy GP performances.

Small but important update – Stats have been updated so (PRO) Team Managers can now see all the data and sort the data to better understand results.

Race Control is to publish further guidance on use of the Players Lounge and player conduct to ensure a friendly and polite atmosphere for all.
