I'll use a finger extension then Scott.

How far back does FOM's jurisdiction go?Surely
not to 1950.

[Scott]

They could have bought the rights to everything F1, whether they existed then or not...and don't forget, NOBODY got to see the Mosley-Ecclestone 100 year rights agreement.  Max probably sold Bernie rights that even the FIA didn't own.

I paid for a software data service which would allow members to access details of every race since 1950 including points, lap times, just about everything, it really is a great bit of software.

Guess what? I'm not allowed to publicly use any race data. 

Formula One Administration Limited (“FOA”) has the exclusive right to commercially exploit the FIA Formula One World Championship (“the Championship”) including, but not limited to, all moving images, other audio/video content, timing data and results.

This reminds me of a time when a fan took a picture of a teams car, (I won't name which team), driving around a track and he put it on his website. The team asked him to remove the picture but he refused stating that it was his picture and he owned it. The team's lawyers successfully forced him to remove it after they proved that they had copyright on the paint and logos on the car and he was in breech of the copyright act.

Now we know how did you manage to get that 26 score of Singapore GP

Now we know how did you manage to get that 26 score of Singapore GP

Every race I formulate the previous race winners, fastest laps, average weather conditions, safety car deployments vs race length of the track, driver qualifying times, grid positions, tyre choice and average positions gained per driver per race. Then I tell all this information to my Super Computer and guess what she says?.....

'Do you want chips or mash with that?'

Oh Mrs Wiz! What would I do without her?

(Ans: A nice and beautiful December to enjoy Christmas without his advent

But it wouldn't be Christmas without the advent competition??   

[Scott]

This year I'm going to get the shopping done early so I don't have choose between spending time for the Advent Comp, or on my family

By Advent general people understand "a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Christmas"

And by Wizzo's standard "ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE" For this time of the year (I insist only this time of the year only) Wizzo puts on something like the film "The Mask" and good lord gracious what we the poor people of GPW have to endure for a period of month. Last year was my first time 
Yeah Cossie, Ian, Dare & Scotty did warn me, but no word is enough to make yourself prepare for that.
