The more he talks the more I hate him.

Which I didn't think was possible.

Crazy how much Leclerc and Hamilton improved from qualifying.


LeClerc didn't improve. He was between P1-P3 in wqualy without a 1 inch track limits violation. He did have an amazing drive in the race.

Is there any other way to interpret this other than he is admitting money is the only reason he still has a seat?

first lap racing incident for me.
I don't know man. That move was extremely poor racecraft on VER's part at best and could be viewed as highly suspect...

Not a good look...

OK, here is your podium for the 2024 TD F1 Prediction Competition




The full chart:

I also wanted to highlight where our Top 6 finishers started the season, after the first race. It's weird how Pitt Road and VABuckeye started in such different places! But our top finishers all showed great forward vision, not overly influenced by pre-season testing. They took a more nuanced long view of how they thought the individual drivers and the teams would fare over the course of the season.

For next season I am envisioning a more interactive race-by-race prediction competition, where you pick the order of each race.

Part of this idea is that if you miss entering a prediction for a race, that's OK because your previous race prediction will be used. So if you're forgetful, you won't be penalized badly for missing a race unless a reserve driver steps in to a seat. I have it mostly worked out in my head. I have three months to code it. I think it will be more fun.


Darn it, the post got stuck at the bottom of the page. I am re-posting it here:

“A whole continent behind me”

I don’t think Checo knows what a continent is. He’s lucky if Mexico even supports him.

Exactly. And a 4th place donut? Thought they were going to put him on the podium too. Drama for the drama.

Thanks for doing all this, if you think it will be better next year then I can’t wait.

That was a great season. Next year should be just as good, maybe even closer if Alpine and Aston Martin can step it up.

Some facts from this season:
• 1st time ever with 7 drivers with multiple wins
• 1st time since 2010 that no driver/team won 3 races in a row
• 3 drivers from 3 different teams finishing 1-2-3 in WDC
• 3 drivers from 3 different teams with 13+ podiums
• 4 teams with 4+ wins
• 4 drivers with multiple poles
• 4 teams with 4+ poles
• 5 different drivers on pole
• Only 1 driver won consecutive races
• A span where different drivers won 6 consecutive races
• 4 teams with 1-2 finishes
• Max Verstappen's 4th straight WDC
• McLaren's 1st constructors title since 1998
• Lewis Hamilton ending his winless drought at Silverstone, his home GP
• Charles Leclerc ending the Monaco curse
• Lando Norris & Oscar Piastri's first GP win

P7 in the points. I'll take it. I had Checo ranked too highly. Really thought he'd finish P2 or P3 in the drivers.

I'm surprised I ended up as high as I did. Terrible predictions on my part.

Thanks again for taking care of this!

Great picture, I didn't realize Ginetta has been around as long they have. There were several vintage Ginettas at the Sebring HSR event this past weekend. They looked to be about 60's era sports racers.

Do you need an address to send the check?
