Evening all,

 

Once again,  with the channel4 highlights programme now in full-swing, I'll publish our results from today with the usual disclaimer; 

 

If you're watching the highlights programme and don't want any clues about the results, then it's probably a good idea to look away now!

 

So first,  how did we all score this weekend;

 

Pos League
Rank 		Team Manager Pts
1 1 0 Essex Racing Tony Clark 229
2 4 0 PSS Power Flyer 210
3 5 0 Hidden Cucumber fat brownie 205
4 2 0 Revers Racing Pete B 201
5 3 0 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 193
6 6 0 Iqonic racing iqon 181
7 10 1 LetsGoTotoLetsGo GrumpyGnome 179
8 14 0 GASTON Formula Chris McG 176
= 7 0 teewrex John Tee 176
10 9 0 DMFC Racing Team Simon Webb 174
11 8 0 Pitts Specials john stones 161
12 11 1 Mannschaft Carl Brotherton 143
13 15 1 Hans Brake Zoonie 141
14 13 0 Torque of the devil Stu 137
15 16 1 The JP Specials johnpflyrc 128
16 12 0 Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 126

 

Top place today goes to Tony with 229 points.

Second,with 210 points is Ade.

Third, and only 5 points further back on 205 is fat brownie.

 

Well done to today's top 3!

 

Moving now to the overall table;

 

Pos League
Rank 		Team Manager Pts
1 1 0 Essex Racing Tony Clark 3969
2 2 0 Revers Racing Pete B 3836
3 3 0 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 3543
4 4 0 PSS Power Flyer 3519
5 5 0 Hidden Cucumber fat brownie 3502
6 6 0 Iqonic racing iqon 3442
7 7 0 teewrex John Tee 3347
8 8 0 Pitts Specials john stones 3320
9 9 0 DMFC Racing Team Simon Webb 3152
10 10 1 LetsGoTotoLetsGo GrumpyGnome 3060
11 11 1 Mannschaft Carl Brotherton 3031
12 12 0 Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 2935
13 13 0 Torque of the devil Stu 2902
14 14 0 GASTON Formula Chris McG 2880
15 15 1 Hans Brake Zoonie 2658
16 16 1 The JP Specials johnpflyrc 2654

 

No place changes in the top half of the table, so Tony holds on to top spot, now with a lead of 133 points over Pete with Charles still third.

 

Further down the table, GrumpyGnome takes 10th place from Carl.  And as hinted at last week, I have now snatched last place from Zoonie.  But I'm only 4 points behind you, Zoonie!

 

So, an incident, and penalty, packed race today.  And the constructors' championship result goes on to be decided next weekend at Abu Dhabi. It's a 'normal' race weekend, with qualifying at 14:00 UK-time on Saturday - so get your predictions done before then!

Evening all,

 

Abu Dhabi this weekend for the final race of the season.  So, for the last time this year,  the customary reminder;

 

Don't forget your predictions!

 

Earlier today, P1 saw 6 teams fielding rookie drivers - including Arthur Leclerc,  brother of Charles.  It was Charles Leclerc who set fastest time in the session ahead of Norris with Hamilton third fastest.  However, Leclerc has a 10-place grid penalty to take on Sunday due to exceeding his allocation of Energy Stores.

 

P2 saw McLaren set the two fastest times, Norris ahead of Piastri - who had not driven in P1.  Hulkenberg was third fastest, ahead of Sainz and Hamilton. The Red Bulls seemed to have issues, with Verstappen 17th and Perez 14th.

 

P3 is at 10:30 tomorrow, followed by qualifying at 14:00.  Sunday's race is at 13:00

 

Now, as Charles has already mentioned,  the battle for 3rd in our league is rather close, with Ade just 24 points adrift of Charles, and fat brownie just 17 points further back.

 

Good luck everyone!

Well done to today's top 3!

 

So,  how does the overall table look after today's race?

15 15 0 Hans Brake Zoonie 2771
16 16 0 The JP Specials johnpflyrc 2750

 

No position changes at all today,  so I can declare Tony as the winner of the Modelflying Forumites FantasyGP league for 2024.  Well done Tony!

 

Pete holds on to second,  and Charles is third.  Well done to them too.

 

And as already pointed out, I managed to retain my hard-earnt last place!  I'm off to sack my team now,  and to devise a new, cunning plan for 2025... 🤔  So again, well done to our season's top 3, and indeed to all of you for beating me!

 

It's been a long season,  and today's race kept us guessing right up to the end.  But a well-deserved (in my opinion) win for Lando, and confirmation of 2nd place for him in the Driver's championship, plus the Constructor's title for McLaren. Next season looks like being close.

Good team, Tony - as the results proved!

 

Looking at it now, you'd wonder how it was possible to get that team within the available budget,  but of course back at the start of the season both Norris and Piastri, and indeed McLaren, would have been seen as outsiders!

 

Well done again - a great pick!

Once again a huge thank you to John P for running the league, your final position doesn't do justice to the time and effort you put in throughout the series. Let's hope for better luck next year!
Congratulations to Tony on your victory, try as I might I couldn't keep pace, you were always a wheel ahead throughout the year and the battle for third was truly entertaining and kept the suspense up to the final race, with Charles taking the honours. Well done to everyone!

It was a hard year for predictions and I can only attribute my placing to some astute team selection early in the year which made up the bulk of my scoring, as my predictions were pretty awful most of the time...😏

I had dropped Russell, Lawson and Ferrari by the Austrian GP and ended with following team, which I kept for the rest of the season. Really glad Pierre Gasly eventually came good!

As you can see, I made a healthy profit across the board buying when I did as I ended up with a team value of $114m - not the normal story of my life😀

Let's hope next year's series is as entertaining as this season has been (I've already got my ticket for Spain😉) and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

A bit early but Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you all!🥳

Thanks everyone! What luck to get a good result in the final race so I could hang onto third place 😀  After being outside the top ten last year I don’t know what changed this time - probably mainly that I added McLaren and Piastri to my team soon before McLaren’s form improved halfway through the year. 
 

Thanks John for diligently running the league and congrats to Tony and Pete.

Simon - no you're not,  we all are! 😁 (At least according to our own views)

 

No doubt we all got the email yesterday from fantasygp reminding us that the season starts in less than 4 weeks from now.  And that the fantasygp game is open for team selection from 8pm tonight.

 

But before then you can 'reactivate' your teams and look at the driver pricing to work out who you want to select.  Then from this evening,  actually select them.

 

I've reactivated the league - and found Simon and GrumpyGnome already in it 👍,  so it looks like last year's entrants can simply rejoin without needing a code. 

 

Pos League
Rank 		Team Manager Pts
Rankings are random until after the first race
1 0 0 The JP Specials johnpflyrc 0
= 0 0 DMFC Racing Team Simon Webb 0
= 0 0 LetsGoTotoLetsGo GrumpyGnome 0

 

Any new entrants from the forum would be most welcome.  Get yourself setup with a team on https://fantasygp.com/ (and please don't select the "Pro" membership there)  and to join our league you will need the My Fantasy GP League Code: 8397165

 

As usual we have $75 million to play with, and unlimited changes until round 3.  Round 1 is in Melbourne on 16 March, and there's pre-season testing from 26-28 Feb in Bahrain. 

 

Now,  go and work out who you want on your teams!

Au contraire, mon ami. Au contraire...

Ok, ok,  I had to refresh that page about 12 times before it finally put Iqon in last place, but it amused me anyway... 😁

 

But seriously,  there are now 8 of us back in the league for the coming year,  and I'm sure that number will continued to grow.

 

As for the budget, yes Pete, it would be nice to have a bigger budget. But then we could all buy the top cars/drivers. So I guess we're stuck with the budget we've got.  Hopefully I can do better than last year - well I could hardly do much worse!  🤔

 

Right,  time for me to go and have a look at those numbers again...
