I'd like to use my driver group 3 joker on Sainz for this round.

If you somehow don't manage to win this round, it will be a monumental achievement in jinxing.

MY season has been poor (but to be honest, don't think I realised I won the last round )

Jokers don't count towards the round by round scores, but yeah I fully expect we'll see a bit of a jump in Herb's scores!

Always good to know your place

I shall now deploy my D3 joker on Charles Leclerc, probably several races late.

I'd like to use my Driver Group 1 joker on Verstappen and Team Group 1 joker on Red Bull this weekend

All 3 jokers noted. Ex, that is your last and Iceman, those are your first.

My two remaining jokers please - Raikkonen and Alfa Romeo

Noted. I'm also using jokers, Gasly and AlphaTauri.

This seems like a pretty solid choice. I was planning to save mine for Mexico earlier in the year, since I'd always considered it to be the most guaranteed Verstappen win available -- but I ended up using them earlier.

It didn't cost you much at least. If Checo finishes 2nd to Max in Mexico you'll have cost yourself 9 points, but that's it. Your lead is a tiny bit more convincing than that.

Exediron managed to continue his dominance here, taking his 3rd win in succession and 6th of the year. The rest of us were really picking up the pieces after that, although the rest of the podium was relatively close.

Pretty pleased with my Raikkonen and Alfa jokers in this one, but feel that Exediron might be out of reach for the championship.

Ex had 5 top 2 finishes in a row earlier this year, since then the rest of us have had little chance really. Especially with 3 more wins in a row too.

Going all in on Verstappen, Perez, and Red Bull has certainly paid off for me. I took Red Bull last season as well, but that time it didn't work out so hot!

Unless I've missed a transfer, mine and Exed's only difference is driver group four. Come on George, get another podium!

What is the cost of getting Kimi and Ferrari into the team?

@JN23, yes you're correct there

@Iceman, sorry, I forgot to add transfer costs. Give me a few minutes.

I'll take my last joker in Brazil, Alfa Romeo for team group 3.

I'm just going to go ahead and use all of my jokers this weekend in a terrible blaze of glory (or something like it), likely dooming the races of many people at once. You all can thank me later.

D3: Sainz
D4: Raikkonen
T2: Ferrari
T3: Alfa Romeo

Noted, you must really have it in for Ferrari powered cars!

I would like to get Kimi into my team in place of Russell

Also , I would like to use my Team 3 joker on Alfa Romeo and Driver 4 joker on Kimi

Noted.

---

I've made a start on next season's groups. Scores will drop a bit compared with this year as I've reduced driver groups from 4 to 3. I'm tempted to expand the joker system a bit to compensate for some of the lost points and increase engagement, but the specific groups I've drafted will likely change during pre-season testing, so I'm keeping an open mind on that. Any thoughts anyone has are very welcome.

Last in the race, last in the championship. I think I should get maybe 2000 points for consistency!

OK so Tufty is penalised 2000 points for cheek...

Out of curiosity, is it possible for JN23 to make up 123 points on me with any possible finishing position, or have I actually already won the title?

You're the champion, the only difference is in driver group 4 where one of you has Raikkonen and the other has Russell. From you perspective, the worst that could happen is Raikkonen stalls on the grid and Russell wins, leaving you just 24 points up.

With 3 unused jokers, Icemanjee1 could still win, however. If he chooses to play them.

I'd like to use Driver 2 Joker on Perez , Driver 3 Joker on Gasly and Team 2 Joker on Ferrari

Final jokers of the season locked in. Weird to see that only 1st and 3rd can win the title!

I've done the Pick 10 results and I need a nap Let's get this competition concluded.
