not sure but i have the same sort of package , no merc driver but a merc chassis and scored ok , not sure how it scored yet but time will no doubt reveal all
Not sure i completely understood the format scoring system but i like the way its not all driver orientated for scoring points , will be interesting for sure .
Anybody fancy a bit of F1 fun thoughout the season i have set up a league here http://www.fantasy-f1-league.com/leagues.php
