An interesting little discussion on how people arrive at their own Team of the Grand Prix, especially the contribution from Richard. My own method goes a bit like this:
- We have a separate "Driver" poll so I judge the "Team" poll on the merits of the car (including the engine), the mechanics, the strategy and possibly even a television interview with the team principal if it is notably interesting.
- For me, the "Grand Prix" is qualifying and the race, with priority given to the race. Practice doesn't really count.
- The object of a race is to win, so the front runners will always be favoured in my assessment. Sad to say, Williams would have to do more than luck into a single point while their other car breaks down to get my TOGP.
No doubt, if you were to analyse my past TOGPs, that would turn out to be utter rubbish.
