FYI I think I managed to improve calculations of worst possible outcome and the results are looking waaay nicer (no more boring symmetry).
Thanks again!
Fixed, thank you!
Will update data on lowest possible place for Verstappen after updating the code
That is absolutely right and I must improve how I calculate lowest possible position, because currently to do so I add maximum possible points one driver can get to every single driver except the one checked (which doesn’t make sense - I’m setting everyone on 1st place and Max on 11th xD)
I thought about how to do it more properly and the only option I found was to somehow calculate every possible combination, which is also insane from computational point of view.
Your comment gave another idea though - to sum possible points from incoming seasons (102 for race and 36 for sprint) and distribute them between lower places, from top to bottom, until someone jumps over you (so giving 126 points for Perez, then 166 to Alonso, etc). That should give me the correct results as explained by you.
Thanks!
…and also impossible for Red Bull to drop below 6th place.
I’m sorry for shitty styling on mobiles, must definitely improve it, it’s a disaster to use it, but on desktop it’s way better.
Also features data from seasons 2018-2022, so you can go through the races in a season and see how the positions changed.
