Is there a Grand Prix rules wizard out there?
I just finished a season with '97 cars, but '94 schedule.
The following were the results for Villeneuve and Schumacher (the
leaders in points):
RACE SCHUMACHER VILLENEUVE
BRAZIL 2nd/6 1st/10
PACIFIC DNF DNF
SAN MARINO 1st/10 DNF
MONACO DNF 1st/10

HUNGARY 2nd/6 1st/10
BELGIUM 1st/10 3rd/4
ITALY 1st/10 2nd/6
PORTUGAL 1st/10 DNF
EUROPE 2nd/6 1st/10
JAPAN 3rd/4 2nd/6
AUSTRALIA 1st/10 2nd/6
TOTAL PTS 91 91
FIRSTS 6 6
SECONDS 3 3
THIRDS 1 1
FOURTHS 1 1
OTHER FINISHES One 9th None
Is the tiebreaker the 9th place finish, or is there some other
tiebreaker?
The real F1 would decide tiebraker by qualifying (i.e. pole positions) I
believe. Who did GP2 crown champion?

Yes, the 9th place would give the championship to Schumacher. As the
rules in Formula 1 are that if the points are equal then you take the
number of 1st places, 2nd places, 3rd places, right down to 24th place
finishes!.
It would not be decided on qualifying

The qualifying does not matter for the tiebreak, only the race
results. This means the 9th place is the deciding one. Very tough
season after all.
