Into the last race, all was to play for between pimmy and Soul Reaver. Just 8 points separating the two contenders and with picks Hulkenberg and Massa starting side by side, the contest looked like achieving an enthralling conclusion.
Only a few laps into the race the title was wide open. Massa was challenging for a top 4 spot and was even a contender for a podium (if Alonso's post race interview is to be believed), with Hulkenberg fighting to stay inside the top 10. Then with Massa's drive-through the title was all but decided.
No-one picked the winner for Brazil, although the moral victors of the event are kart99 and erwin greven who both selected Rosberg. The popular picks were Massa (18 picks) and Hulkenberg (11).

The kals F1 2013 Game Champion and my congratulations go to pimmy who triumphed with a score of 173, an average score of 9.1 per race. Runner-up and a mere single point behind was me and 3rd on 180 points was Soul Reaver.
This has been a fun competition to run and thank you all for playing. The level of interest and number of entries far surpassed what I expected when I first decided to set up the contest. I've added a poll to see if you'd like me to run the contest again in 2014.
Well done again to the top 3. See you all in 2014.
