:D Last week, the wunderkind let me down by not helping his partner, so I am figuring this week the Racing Gods will intervene and his luck will go back in the direction of Kimi Raikkonen :twisted:

This is just to explain why der Vettel is only fifth in my picks. Last week, too, I figured the Hambone would overdrive himself right off the circuit; I was wrong and Lewis drove like the champion he is. This week, though he'll start first, the Aussie will get him before the last lap! :alright: and take the WDC for his first time! :up: :clap: :up: :clap: :bounce: :bounce:

So. Here are me picks, then:

First Place and WDC (with 263 points) Mark Webber! :D :D :1st: :1st::1st: :1st:

Second: Lewis Hamilton (logging 240 points, enough to place him fourth in the championship) will drive a really good race, just not good enough 8)

Third: losing the WDC by two points at 261 will be the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso. Poetic and Racing justice will be served and his 'stolen' seven points from lil' Phil in Germany will be not enough :? :?

Fourth: and redeeming himself a little will be Jenson Button, ending the year in fifth place in the points with 211 :)

Fifth: after struggling all day, Sebastian Vettel will collect just enough points to be third in the WDC with 241 points 8)

Sixth in the race and sixth in the points with 151, will be Felipe Massa in the 'other' Ferrari :roll: :roll: (maybe Maranello will think Polish next year? I certainly hope so!)

Seventh in the race but eighth in the points with 132 will be Robert Kubica; I hope he's 'promoted' to Felipe's seat next year 8) 8)

Eighth in the race, but seventh in the points with 134 will be Nico Rosberg and I hope, next year, he can keep up with Schuey!! :wink: :wink:

Ninth in the race and ninth in the points (74) will be Michael Schumacher ... is it finally time to quit :oops: :oops:

Tenth in the race and tenth in the points will be old Rubens Barrichello with 48. I think it's time, Frank Williams, to let him go. :alright: :clap: :burnout:

What a great season! Let's end it with the Safety Car safely in the pits all day!

cheers! :cheers: :thankyou: Jim Watt :wave: :wave:

Raceace Junior, MG and Berber all top score this round with 63 points.

The average score was 46.41.

The Winner for this round:

As 3 players are tied for this round, the player who submitted their picks earliest for this round is the winner. None of the winners submitted their picks for the round of Abu Dhabi so the player who last submitted a pick for a round is the winner. Raceace Junior submitted picks for the round of Japan and that was the last pick and is therefore the winner of this round. So congratulations to Raceace Junior, you have won a NewsOnF1 Compact Smart Digital Clock with Alarm.
Raceace Junior managed to pick 8 out of the the top 10 finishers with 1st, 3rd, 5th and 8th in their exact finishing place. Picking Sebastian Vettel for pole earned Raceace Junior 6 additional points and scored a bonus 6 points for picking 8 and Pole!

MG managed to pick 9 out of the the top 10 finishers with 1st and 2nd in their exact finishing place. Picking Sebastian Vettel for pole earned MG 6 additional points and scored a bonus 10 points for picking 9 and Pole!
Berber managed to pick 9 out of the the top 10 finishers with 5th and 10th in their exact finishing place. Picking Lewis Hamiltin for pole earned Berber 4 additional points and scored a bonus 10 points for picking 9 and 2nd on the grid!
