As I am "on a roll" putting numbers here
, I will add a strange Teams Classification Table. It is calculated with the worst classified (or whatever) car in each race, scoring 0 points if it is the last car and until 18 points if it is the 2nd (obviously the "worst" car in the team cannot be the winner!).
For example, in the GP of France, Hass was last and got 0 points, Williams was 18th and got 2 points,..., Red Bull was 3rd, having 17 points, Mercedes had 16 points with Bottas, etc.
In the official FIA table, Red Bull and Mercedes are comfortably 1st and 2nd, but in this "weird" table, Merc is not even second and before Paul Ricard he was 4th! (because of its disasters/bad-luck with Bottas). Moreover, McLaren could "easily" overtake Red Bull for 1st position in the next race.
Apart from that kind of details, this classification is not crazy, it shows the general performance of teams, with a clear structure in three classes: High Class, Middle Class and... Those Two.
Perhaps the most disruptive event is when a top car gets touched in the start and becomes the first retirement, thus its team getting 0 points. It can be seen as harsh or "unfair" but... is not it funny for the classification? Lets call it the "DRS" of our system
, it can be unfair but adds to the show.
(I am putting so many words just to try to "sell" the product
)
Code:

In the last two columns I have put the comparison with official FIA ranking.
