General F1 Rules

Podium Results Count
Unless otherwise stated, all markets are settled based on the official result at the time of the podium presentation.

Shortened Races
If a race is shortened due to weather or other circumstances but is deemed official and full points are awarded, all bets stand and will be settled accordingly.

Postponed Races
If a race is postponed to another day (within the UTC zone), all markets for that event will be void.

Dead Heat Rule
If more winners occur than expected in a market, standard Dead Heat rules apply unless stated otherwise.

Drivers Starting from the Pit Lane
Any driver starting from the pit lane will be ranked at the end of the grid for settlement purposes.

Retirements & Laps Completed
If competitors retire on different laps, the number of completed laps determines the settlement.

Team Markets

Winner / Top X / Team H2H
Settled by the best-ranked car from the team in the final classification.

First Team to Retire
Settled by the team whose car retires first. Retirement rules apply as defined in the Retirements section.

First Team to Pit
Settled by the team whose car enters the pit lane first. Pit stop rules apply.

Team Total Overtakes
Settled based on the combined overtakes completed by both cars from the team. Overtaking rules apply.

Fastest Lap Markets

Fastest Lap Result
The driver who records the fastest lap in the specified lap, lap range, or entire race is the winner.

Timing Standard
Lap times are settled using official millisecond timing.

Head-to-Head & Group Winner Markets

Same-Lap Retirements
If all listed drivers retire on the same lap, the market is void.

Formation Lap Retirements
If any listed driver retires during or before the formation lap, the market is void.

Overtaking Markets

Overtake Must Be Maintained
An overtake only counts if the driver maintains the position until the end of the lap.

First Lap Excluded
Overtakes on Lap 1 do not count.

Pit-Related Overtakes Excluded
Any position changes during the lap a driver enters or exits the pits are not counted.

Retirement Lap Excluded
Overtakes made on the lap a car retires do not count.

Lapping & Unlapping Not Counted
Laps gained or lost due to lapping/unlapping do not count as overtakes.

Retirement Markets

Retirement Definition
A car is considered retired if it does not cross the finish line at the end of the session, unless disqualified.

Multiple Retirements in Same Lap
If multiple cars retire on the same lap, the Dead Heat rule applies.

Pit-Lane Retirements
If a car retires in the pit lane, its last completed lap is used for settlement.

Pit Stop Markets

First Car to Pit
The car that enters the pit lane first is the market winner.

Pit Retirement Still Counts
If a car enters the pits and then retires, it still counts as having made a pit stop.

Total Finishers

Finisher Definition
A driver is counted as a finisher only if they cross the finish line after the session ends.
