Formula 1 Rules

Date/Site Changes

Markets will be settled according to official FIA results at the time of the podium presentation regardless of any changes to the times, format, and dates of practice, qualifying and/or race sessions if the associated race takes place within 72 hours of the scheduled date/time.

Minimum Length of Play

Unless otherwise stated, the result at the time of the podium presentation will be the outcome for all markets. All drivers that start the race are considered as runners for all markets.

Formula 1 Wagers

Championship Wagering

Wagers stand on all drivers and constructors, whether they compete or not.  Wagers are settled in accordance with the official result given by the FIA.  Season match wagers are cancelled if either named team/driver fails to take any further part in the season following the wager being placed.  Official FIA rankings determine settlement where points totals are identical.

Driver Head-to-Head (H2H)

Race and Sprint:  If at least one of the two drivers do not show up at the start, then all wagers are cancelled.  If one or both drivers do not classify, then the driver who has completed more laps is the winner.  If both drivers do not classify and have the same number of completed laps, then all wagers are cancelled. During or after the race until the time of the podium presentation, disqualified drivers are considered as ‘not classified’ with 0 laps.  Drivers who do not start the race are understood to be classified as “DNS” in the official race result, then all wagers are cancelled.

Fastest Qualifier

The driver achieving the fastest official qualifying time, in the specified qualifying session, is the winner.  Any subsequent demotions do not count for settlement purposes.  Official FIA placings count if times are identical.  Position corrections after the winning ceremony do not affect the official FIA Qualifying results.

Team Head-to-Head (H2H)

Race and Sprint:  Wagers are settled based on the team with the best classified car in the official FIA result.  If neither team has cars classified, then the team with the car that completed the most laps is the winner.  If neither team has a car that classifies and the best car from each team has completed the same number of laps, then all wagers are cancelled.  If at least one of the two teams start with less than two drivers, then all wagers are cancelled.  Drivers who do not start the race are classified as “DNS” in the official race result and all wagers are cancelled.  During or after the race (and until the time of the podium presentation) disqualified drivers are considered as ‘not classified’ with 0 laps.

Free Practice and Qualifying

If at least one driver does not start his session or does not finish his individual session with an official lap time, then all wagers are cancelled.

To Be Classified

The official FIA classification is used when settling this market.  Drivers who complete 90% of the number of laps completed by the race winner are classified by FIA, and are classified as winners in "to be classified" wagering.  Drivers who do not start the race are classified as “DNS” in the official race result and all wagers on or against them are cancelled.

Number of Race Leaders

The driver who is in the car occupying the forward most grid position, normally pole position, at the start of the race counts as a race leader.  After the race has started, any other driver who completes a lap in first place counts as a race leader.

Finish in The Points / On the Podium

Settlement is based on the result at the time of the podium presentation. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect wagers.

Finishing Position

This does not include the qualifying stage.  Wagers on a driver’s finishing position in a race is settled according to the official classifications, or order of retirement if appropriate. If the named driver fails to start either the Warm-Up lap or the race, the principle “All Wagers Stand” rule applies to all wagers if not mentioned otherwise directly in wager heading.

Will there be a safety car

This market is settled on the appearance of the physical safety car on track at any point in the race.  If the actual safety car is not deployed, but the virtual safety car is, then the market is settled as no safety car appearance.

For wagers to be determined, the driver must start the race (even from the pit lane).  If a driver does not start the race, all wagers for this driver are cancelled.  Drivers who do not start the race are classified as "DNS" in the official race results.  Drivers disqualified during or after race do not count for this wager.

Which constructor will be the first to retire in the race

If a team fails to start the race with at least one driver, all wagers for this team are cancelled. Drivers who do not start the race are classified as "DNS" in the official race results.  Disqualified drivers do not count for this wager.

Will driver X record points in the race

If a driver does not start the race, all wagers for this driver are cancelled.  Drivers who do not start the race are classified as "DNS" in the official race results.  During or after the race, disqualified drivers result as “no points.”

Will both drivers of team X record points in the race

For wagers to be determined, both drivers must start the race.  Drivers who do not start the race are classified as "DNS" in the official race results.  Drivers disqualified during or after the race are classified as “no points.”

How many cars from team X will achieve a position in the end classification

For wagers to be determined, both cars must start the race.  Cars that do not qualify for the race or do not start the race are classified as "DNS" in the official race results.

Fastest pit-stop in the race

The time between entering and leaving the pit-stop lane is considered the duration of the pit stop.  If the pit stop lane is entered due to a penalty, this is not considered a pit stop. Normal Driving through pit lane (i.e., behind a Safety-Car or to absolve a time penalty) does not count for this wager. All 4 tires must be changed to qualify for a pit stop.
