2011 Predictions - Round 19, Brazil

So, the season finale is upon us already! 18 races completed, one cancelled and just the popular Interlagos circuit remaining.

After a record breaking season on track, we simply need now to find out who is the best F1 Predictor!

Over the season, our two top predictors (each with a score of five correct) are Gary Marshall of MarshallGP.com, and Chris from F1 Cartoonz.
Therefore, it has been decided that Brazil should be the Grand Final, to find an outright winner!

To make it a bit different for the final, we asked Gary and Chris to also pick the seven slowest and three fastest drivers from qualifying!

2011 Predictions - Round 18, Abu Dhabi

In 2010, this Grand Prix saw a new driver crowned World Champion. Will this year's race be as exciting, now that the Championship has already been decided? We can certainly hope so!

There is certainly a great deal to fight for, as the difference between one place and the next in the Constructors Championship usually equates to tens of millions of dollars!
