Let's see..



Well maybe....



Just got Romain right.



Glad I got this totally wrong



Does F1 70 years GP count as GB?


Thank god we didn't have France.



Didn't expect this to be Hamilton. But fun to see where the Albon bandwagon was earlier this year.




I probably would have regretted the prediction of Ocon getting a podium as the season went along, but I ended up getting it right lol

lol



Apart from Ferrari, got it almost. Understimated Renault and it's kind of impossible for Williams to get 3+ points in the last race.



3 out of 5, not bad...Could be 5 out of 5, if Mercedes finally understands that Bottas isn't the right driver for them, and if Honda can get Tsunoda into that 2nd AT seat.









Yay, COVID19
