   I don’t believe it! Missed out on a win by 0.15 seconds :( Almost a Mark Webber-esque rise from the ashes. Dammit!

   Ah well, will have to wait until next season to pick up my second win – http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2009/07/14/f1-fanatic-predictions-championship-gets-even-closer-after-round-seven/ was my first

   I’m finishing in the top 150 after mostly quite dire rounds, I don’t think that’s too bad.

            The first rounds I was a bit too much thinking about who I would like to win instead of going for who was most likely to win.
            And after I got into the top 100, my last couple of races were far from brilliant, losing quite a lot of points (and one time where I made a mistake and put Sutil on top instead of Sebastian Vettel – brainfade!)

               @BasCB in my case, in the first few races, i favoured MSC for P5 and Webber, thinking he would bounce back, for the win…..finally after 3races, i changed strategies and within the next 5races my ranking went from 1000+ to 4th! Then in Singapore i dropped from 6th to 20+…,got to top 17 only after abu dhabi

    Congrats @Todfod

    The last three rounds all hailed 9 points each for me, so not a terrible end to the season, and in the end I eventually broke passed the 300 barrier to get 289 in the end.

    I think I speak for everyone when I say…BRING ON 2012!

    Thanks a lot guys!

    WOW! I’m so pumped up that I can barely type right now. I cannot believe I almost threw in the towel after the Canadian GP, where I had moved far out of the top 200. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to make the most of my first ever British GP!

    A notable mention to S-D. He was definitely the guy to beat for most of the season. I could only get by him with a little bit of luck in the last race.

    S-D, I hope to see you battling up at the front again next year.

    And finally… a big thank you to Keith, without whom I would have been watching the British GP at home next year

             Congrats Todford, an awesome effort to take out the 2011 F1 tipping challenge. Pretty pleased with my own efforts though, 11th *and* highest placed woman ! Watch out boys, next year I plan to crack the top ten :D

    so my wildly optimistic prediciton to steal the win failed. But thanks to Vettel for single-handedly making half my points by winning 11 times and 15 poles.

    I had a great start of the season, but from Spa I had only awful results. Sunday was no exception : only 7pt gained, and it pushes me outside the top 100. This year was clearly a bad one, even worse than last year.

    I really need to perform better for 2012!

    Jesus…. this is the first time my name appeared in a feature. I scored 29 points in Brazil in my rookie season and I featured only in 5 races.

    I’m going to a serious contender next year. I just found a “time machine” from the time machine in e-bay…. bazingaaaa

    I would not say the truth if I would not say I am a little bit disapointed to miss the Tickets price by only a miserable point! But that’s it!
    Nevertheless I am happy to finish 2nd for my first full season and to have win a GP.
    I will try again next year. ;-)
    And thanks a lot to Keith for this organisation.

    I wound up tied at 192nd, solidly among the mediocre!

    Has anyone out there had the patience to go back and figure out what one would have scored had they picked, for every race, Vettel for the pole, and the top 5 in order of their ultimate rank in the standings? Keith?

    Considering I made my first prediction on a whim for this round, I’m not displeased with 4th (missed out on third by 0.02 seconds). I reckon I’ll definitely make this a regular feature next year.

    Congrats to everyone who was pleased with themselves! (Because if you’re happy with 1000th place, then that’s awesome too)

    For my first season I’m surprised how well I did especially since I missed 7 or 8 rounds half of them because I was lazy. Yet I still won a round, now imagine how high up I could have been on the weekends I decided not to apply myself.
