Watching Racing Point and McLaren in the midfield was really fun, overall a better year compared to the last few, Ferrari falling off a cliff was good for the sport imo.

Wow...despite being a rather boring race that last lap had a lot of impact on the standings...sooo...
Spoiler!
Congrats to Agulati!!!! Winner by 1 point over Jayswin in Total Points. Great season again for you. Props to Jayswin as well, 2nd in points but wins the Correct slotted by 1 over Agulati. Finally, congrats to Speede5 who had the most Correct Top 10 and was 3rd overall (even when I take off Abu Dhabi picks for missing his picks).
Jayswin...that last lap pass by Ocon on Stroll cost you first overall (you had Stroll P9) and $20 I think. I can't believe how close it was. Stroll and Gasly are tied, with Gasly in P10 because of his win at Monza.
So Agulati...you're choice on Prize Pack A or B. Just let me know. You and Jayswin can PM for pickup details. I live in West Hillhurst, pick up here.
If there is any issues with the counting/spreadsheet please let me know ASAP. We can go final later this week (pending Sainz penalty??)

I'm really happy for Agulati, he's a deserving winner and way more knowledgeable in F1 than me. I got by on splitting Hamilton and Bottas with Verstappen for the first few races, then announcing that it was my strategy while moving off of it to a Mercedes lockout at the right time. It ended up netting me a lot of points lol.
Anyways the important thing is that Agulati has obviously decided to take the hat while leaving me with the diecast model to put on my TV stand. That was really nice of him.
edit: Wait, was I getting whatever Agilati doesn't take out of the hat or model, or do I get the helmet?
Dammit I am so not happy right now. I just came home to quarantine for christmas and completely out of my rythm and time zone! Really was hoping to make it interesting going in to the last one.
Oh well, lets hope I remember to watch the dang race.
If we combined my being a day early with your being a day late, we'd both be on time or something.

You get the signed helmet, Agulati gets his choice of the Hat or the Diecast. I just split it that way because I couldn't decide on the hat or diecast and wanted one for myself I based it solely on the price (more to the points winner).
And it was so crazy, I didnt realize Ocon had passed Stroll until I checked the driver standings. I thought I missed it by 1 point. When I saw Gasly and Stroll tied I had to go back and watch the last lap again. You could see him pass Stroll in the little picture where Sky usually has the racing order. And I said to beware of Ocon...but only cause i thought the Renaults would be alot faster.
Congrats again to Jayswin, Agulati, and Speede5. I have 1 Niki Lauda left as well if one of you 3 want it. First to PM me gets it.
Also, let me know of any changes you'd like the group to consider for 2021. The only one I might throw in is too make a correct slotted driver worth more in reverse order (eg. you pick Hamilton P1, right now that gets 4pts, I'd propose 1pt...and if you pick Ocon P10 you get 10pts instead of 4). Just a thought.

Perez in at Red Bull. While I think it's the right move, it sucks for Albon. Red Bull seems to think every young driver will instantly be Max. They should have moved him back down to duke it out with Gasly.

Red bull is an insanely cutthroat company and they have no qualms about expecting top performance from anyone they sponsor and the leash is short.
I have a friend who flies in the Red bull air races and it's been a crazy ride to get and stay there, with no security whatsoever, you have to fight for your spot every year and there's a big group chomping at the bit to knock you out of the line up.
