7th with 262 points. My best result. Without disqualification Red Bull cars in Abu Dhabi would be a lot better.

86th with 209 points, not bad I think for the first season, which was quite predictable for at least the first two places.

Congrats everyone for playing, another great year of predicting the future!
I finished 3rd, and kind of regret my predictions for the last 3 GPs where I under-estimated the Williams. Should have done better.
Keith, will you get hold of 2 Silverstone tickets as next year first prize? That certainly was a great prize you had the previous years. Although if it were for Monza or Monaco, it would be closer for me. Anyway, I think any ticket for Barcelona, Spa or the German GP would be popular with your audience.
Cheers

26th with 236 points. Missed 3 races but I don’t think it would have made much difference since it was for Australia Germany and Belgium. Those 3 races were kind of unpredictable. Aiming for a top 5 next year. Well done to brouard21 and the same to those who just missed out :)

What a difference it makes when your favourite driver retires and you don’t keep picking him for pole and win every week :)

I realized that I used too much time and got too annoyed over this prediction competition, because of the “need” to evaluate 3. practise before making my prediction. So early this year I dropped the competition totally – I’ve had a much more enjoyable F1 year after that. Both because I didn’t stress myself over the prediction and because I watched the races without any bias towards my prediction. So I realised that I enjoy F1 more when I don’t “gamble” on the results. But congrats to all winners, I hope You get your prizes soon.
