40 points, this is what really matters this weekend. 

If I message @SynGamer a picture of a number 2 hat, do I gain a psychological advantage? Would he have a moral obligation to let me win? 

What if he throws it back to you?:p

Capgate will ensue, the cap will move eternally back and forth.

Looks like another year where My Heart Will Grosjean is going to be so close yet so far to the team title :/ Still, got a good chance of getting another top 3 finish on the individual side of things which would be nice. Though I feel like next year is the year I need to get back to the top 1 >:) AMS and Syn unfortunately in a class apart this season.

Plenty of room, its not over til its over!

Ah yes I made a mistake in my title haha. Honestly I wish these races were swapped round, Abu Dhabi rarely throws up anything interesting - in 2010 the only reason the third placed guy came out on top in the last race is because the track is so bad you couldn't overtake anyone. 

If you're suspecting I did it on purpose though, these were my predictions for the last 3 (I think) races: 

"Qualifying
1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Ricciardo

Race
1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Ricciardo
4. Verstappen
5. Raikkonen
6. Vettel
7. Hulkenberg
8. Perez
9. Bottas
10. Massa

FL: Rosberg"

They're almost identical, just swapped around the Ferrari's because I think Vettel goes well at this track. Plus removed Massa because I think the track suits McLaren more (I think Alonso is likely to finish anywhere from 12th to 8th, so 10th is a good place for him) and Bottas is a better driver than Massa. I felt kind of bad submitting predictions that were so similar, but at the same time I imagine our predictions have been very similar all year. But as I said, there is some differences in the last 4 drivers - and those slots are normally what wins rounds.

I suspect nothing mate. Even if you were to have copied my predictions, that's the perk of leading the championship heading into the final race.

It's been a fun season, both IRL and fantasy. Looking forward to next year already, curious to see those new tires and the lower wings.

EDIT: where are we at for the predictions throughout the season bonus (10 points)? Do we both qualify for that?

I couldn't do that to someone anyway, if I'm to win, it would have to be on the back of a set of predictions I feel will actually happen. It's just a hollow victory otherwise :) If it ends up costing me, so be it. I did consider in my ones making Button 10th but I just thought to myself, at the end of the day if I feel Alonso is the more likely candidate for 10th, its not really for me to change my mind to go "a different route" - So I just did what I thought.

As for the 10 points, I'm definitely not up for that one. I didn't even realise that was a thing but I forgot a couple of races anyway so it wouldn't have changed anything. If you made new predictions every race, well the gap is only 30 for you to close :p Not a tall order by any stretch! Bottas, Massa and Hulkenberg are the key.
