After the hot days that involved Alpine, Haas, and the FIA at the discussion tables, the Federation dug the spider out of the hole by making a definitive decision, precisely on the day of the start of the mexican weekend. Alpine wins the dispute and Alonso regains seventh position, but what changes at FantaF1 with these ranking changes?
Alonso tossed between accident and discussions
Il US weekend and its sequel have been a roller coaster for Alpine Spanish. Qualified ninth, Fernando started the grand prix probably without imagining he could have such a scary crash. The change of trajectory ofAston Martin di Stroll took the Spaniard by surprise, making him risk taking off. The Asturian, a little shaken, managed to bring his indestructible Alpine up to seventh place. The Haas Protest about the legality of the continuation of the race of the number 14, however, relegated the Spaniard to fifteenth position, the fault of the penalty imposed on him by 30 seconds.
Alpine and Alonso rail against the FIA
The words of the two-time world champion they hinted at the Alpine line. Enstone stables held off the Haas attack in fact protesting a protest. There FIA retraced its steps by revoking the decision; so, Alonso regained seventh position. The French team had appealed to the fact that the host team's protest had arrived over the time limit, and actually, the truthfulness of what she said proved her right.
What changes to FantaF1, and how will it act in the future?
The organizer of the game FantaF1 will abide by the decisions taken by the FIA up to twenty-four hours after the conclusion of the grand prix; what happens next, Therefore, it will not affect in no way the results of the game. In the case, Alonso will continue in the game to be in fifteenth position, as the FIA's turnaround arrived well beyond the twenty-four hour limit.
What happens in the sports courts cannot compete for the game, let's imagine for example what would happen if Red Bull were disqualified from the Formula 1 championship… flip all the leaderboards recalculating all days it would be as radical as it is counterproductive for the experience offered to the players. The general and weekly rankings will therefore remain those published on Monday. The issue is legal in nature, linked to the awarding of prizes made on Monday evening. Furthermore, it would result in an insurmountable logistical effort. The Fanta F1 staff is perfectly aware of the inconvenience, but not depending on the matter directly, the best they can do to protect the user experience is create a unique rule (follow the penalties received within 24 hours of the conclusion of the race) that applies to everyone, whose purpose is to give stability to the game.
