Just a request for posters with secret entries not to reveal their scores otherwise it will spoil the end of season prize giving somewhat.

Cheers, the retirements of Hulkenberg, Ocon and Gasly did for me, the last two in the final laps.

Cant wait to see how close it ended up being, it felt like it had all gone wrong for me until Ocon and Gasly both retired.

I knew as soon as Bottas wasn't in the top 2 I was only slipping backwards. Well done Flash!

That's what basically did me in, I might have held 3rd place otherwise?

Congratulations to our first ever rookie champion!

16th in the end isn't what I would have wanted, but after the way my season started I think it was a strong recovery. Next year should hopefully be better - I won't be trying any more strategic penalties, that's for sure!

Congratulations to Flash2k11!

I knew things weren't going so well for me when Bottas started slipping backwards, especially after Kimi and Ocon retired. But I'm pretty happy with third - after all, it's a full eighteen places higher than I finished last season.

I will do the race result tomorrow along with some extra bits and bobs.

I can live with 6th for the year. I think I'm destined to never win this bloody thing but always finish top 10

Big thanks to Pokerman for running it again. I always appreciate the effort that goes into collating something like this, particularly turning around the results so soon after the end of the race.

Round 21: Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi

The race start saw pole man Hamilton lead away from fellow front row starter Bottas, followed by Vettel, Raikkonen, Ricciardo and Leclerc, Verstappen had a bad start dropping from 6th down to 9th, a crash on the opening lap brought out the safety car when Hulkenberg's car was left upside down.

After only 7 laps Raikkonen pulled over on the start/finish straight with what appeared to be a power unit failure which brought out the virtual safety car, being so early in the race somewhat surprisingly was pitted for the hardest super soft tyres, whilst the rest of the front runners stayed out.

This put Hamilton down to 5th place behind Vettel, Leclerc had also pitted from 5th under the virtual safety car, on the restart Hamilton tried to pass Verstappen but was rebuked before he then pulled away from Hamilton who was slower on the harder tyres.

Verstappen pitted for tyres next, unlike the other front runners he had started on the softest of the tyres, the hyper soft tyres, this triggered both Bottas and Vettel to pit to protect themselves from the under cut, whilst Ricciardo stayed out, with rain in the air there was a chance of him retaining the lead if drivers had to pit for wet tyres.

There was a slight rain fall but nothing too serious and eventually Ricciardo pitted for tyres, this put Hamilton back in the lead from Bottas, Vettel and Verstappen, staying out much later lost Ricciardo track position to his teammate Verstappen.

Normally on a track hard to pass on this is how the positions would remain but Bottas started to struggle and was locking up now and again which allowed Vettel to pass him, Verstappen also passed him but not without contact him after which Ricciardo also passed him with Bottas seemingly struggling even more, Mercedes suspected Bottas had a slow rear puncture after the contact with Verstappen so was pitted for more tyres.

So Hamilton took the win from Vettel, Verstappen and Ricciardo, with Bottas 5th from Sainz who had a fine drive to 6th place.

In third place with 164 points and receiving the "Robust Verstappen Trophy"

Whee, nice way to round off a championship winning debut season

I'd also like to extend my thanks to you, Poker, for running the game for our enjoyment, you do a stellar job

We'll know more when the secret picks get revealed, but I wonder just how much I did need Gasly and Ocon to retire to win the title? That swung some serious points my way for sure, and cm97 scoring so heavily too could have made it pretty dicey for me lol

Thanks guys, I think getting lucky at Brazil made my job a lot easier, 26 point advantage meant I could have a free pick at someone not scoring at all. When Kimi retired, who I imagine we all picked, that got closer to 2 free picks, which is a lot to make up, though as i've mentioned above, I think I was still in murky waters till Gasly and Ocon fell off the road.

Happy to finish the season with a top 10 finish in Abu Dhabi. Hoping to crack the top 20 next year!

Thank you to Poker for organising this!

Well you can be a Rosberg or you can be a Hamilton?

What if Ocon and Gasly not retired late in the race?
