WOW.

I typed a huge reply with the mathematics behind the quiz, went to post and was logged out (timeout)... log in and the post is gone

Basically though... it's all majorities - obvious.

20 ways in which any one driver can get a majority combination of answers.

In a draw it defaults to alphabetical order; in a draw Button will always win, Senna will never win.
5 ways the drivers can draw, multiplied by the number of drivers each individual driver can beat. Assign a driver a number corresponding to ranking in alphabetical order:

1<23456 --- 25 ways
1<2<3456 --- 20 ways
etc.

Add all that jobby up.

Ways to win:

Button 45
Fittipaldi 40
Hunt 35
McClaren 30
Proust 25
Senna 20

Pretty sure it's right, maybe if I get really bored I'll do the test 21 times and confirm

And wurly I would marry you purely for the pleasure of divorcing you.
