Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 9 Author Subscriber Posted December 9 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Results With both championships on the line going into the final race of the season, it was a dramatic weekend for the F1 Prediction League. Only three people correctly predicted Lando Norris for pole position, with title contenders @RandoEFC and @Tommy cancelling each other out with 5 points each. @Whiskey also picked up 5 points here on his way to a strong score for the weekend. On to the race, and @Tommy and @Whiskey stuck with a Norris pole to win double to pick up another 5 points, with @Stan the only one to bag 5 points for Norris' victory. @RandoEFC, @MUFC, @Dave, @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush all had to settle for 2 points each for predicting P2 for the McLaren driver. Nobody held out much hope for Ferrari's Constructors' championship hopes this weekend. Only @nudge and @Dave dared to predict a top 3 finish for Carlos Sainz, but they missed by one position and had to settle for 2 points. Meanwhile, nobody backed Charles Leclerc to overcome his 10-place grid penalty and score a podium finish, so it was a low-scoring set of podium predictions overall. On to random driver Jack Doohan, and nobody was particularly optimistic about his chances, but it was @Dave and @DeadLinesman who nailed his 15th place and picked up 5 more points each. The bonus question asked us to predict one driver from a set of team-mates enjoying their last race together. @RandoEFC and @MUFC's pick of Bottas looked good when the Finn reached Q3 in qualifying but an incident-strewn race saw him retire in his F1 swan-song. @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush were robbed as Russell lost position to his team-mate on the final lap. Alex Albon dropped out of the points late in the race, but with his team-mate retiring, 11th place was still enough to deliver 5 points for @nudge in this prediction. Finally, @Stan, @Tommy, @Whiskey and @Dave took the smart route of backing Carlos Sainz in light of his team-mate's 10 place grid penalty, and the Spaniard delivered a strong P2 and 5 points each in his final outing in the red car. Season Predictions - Results As expected, the final race sees no change to the provisional results posted last week. A quick recap: Everyone scored 10 points for WDC. It was 20 points for the winner and 10 points if your guy comes 2nd or 3rd but we did half points for Verstappen/Red Bull this season. Everyone except for 2 people scored 5 points here due to the Red Bull rule of getting half points. @Tommy got 10 points for Ferrari's top three finish. @RandoEFC got nothing as Mercedes finished 4th. Seven different drivers won a race this season so 5 points went to @Tommy and @OrangeKhrush who came closest to this total. Five different constructors finished on the podium at least once so @MUFC, @nudge, @Whiskey and @Dave can thank Alpine's performance in Brazil for their 10 points here. Nobody predicted the driver with the most retirements (Albon with 6) so @RandoEFC picked up 5 consolation points as Gasly had more DNFs than any of the other drivers who saw backing. @Dave and @Coma get 10 points each for getting the most driver head-to-heads correct (9 out of 10). There are some quite amusing quirks in this area such as Piastri and Stroll being seen as potentially close pre-season and Ricciardo beating Zhou despite being dropped with a quarter of the season remaining. F1 Prediction League 2024 - Final Results As the joint-top scorer this weekend, @Tommy finally ends up on top and wins the championship after a season of lead changes at the top. Congratulations! Last season's champion @RandoEFC has to settle for 2nd place while @OrangeKhrush takes 3rd place despite tailing off in the last few races. @Dave's double figure haul in the final race sees him pip his team-mate @MUFC to 4th place in the standings. @Stan, @nudge and @DeadLinesman weren't too far apart and @Whiskey's long road to remove himself from the bottom of the table ends in success following @Coma's extended absence. The Constructors' championship was comfortable for Red Bull in the end, with Mercedes and McLaren failing to break 20 points in the final race. Congratulations to @Tommy and @nudge! The battle of the often one-car teams at the bottom goes in favour of Aston Martin but Ferrari end the season with the highest score at the final round. Drivers' Champion: @Tommy Constructors' Champion: Red Bull ( @Tommy and @nudge ) Thanks to all for taking part! I hope to see all of you back for next season! 1 1 Quote
