If it's a driver induced retirement (say that Alonso spears off into the barrier) then it counts. If it turns out it was say a suspension failure that sent him off then it doesn't count and that driver cannot be awarded DBTMOTR because outside interference played a part.
Note that rain does not count as outside interference as all the drivers have to combat it at the same time obviously

I even opened it a day early and yet both Carlos and Warren both failed

I'd love a Rosberg, Sutil and Alguersuari podium. A bit of a wake up call from the big teams stuffing about with the FIA re: ride heights; F ducts, and cheap shots to each others principles and engineers.
Sorry I don't know what most of your acronyms mean

Wizzie wrote:I even opened it a day early and yet both Carlos and Warren both failed

As I said, time difference. China's fault for being so damn early in the morning

The same applies in my case, except I just slacked off. My fault, really.

Hi Pablo, welcome to this crazy forum.

This is a predictions game and you will find the rules here.

http://f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1161

Glancing through that page it looks like the ROTR and IIDOTR are not explained, these are the Reject Of The Race and the Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race. Need more help, just ask.

England's fault for being so damn far from the International Date Line.
