Well, not really much change right at the front, but at least we seem to
be closer for the rest of the field. I'll hope for more narrowing of the
cars' performance next season.

Well one to Sir Tim for the second year in a row (this time just by
himself).

Have a great off-season!

What made things 'interesting', or 'difficult', was the variable
performance throughout the season of the second rank teams (and
sometimes drivers). In turns, Merc, Ferrari, and McLaren surged and
faded almost race by race, as did Checo's performance. So while picking
Pole and Winner was straightforward, second and third places were always
up for grabs. It all added excitement, though.

Well done to Sir Tim for the second year in a row (this time just by himself).

Seconded!

Have a great off-season!

Whew! Glad to have wound up third, after languishing around 11th near
the start of the season. Being only four points ahead of the next three
going into the last race of the season, added a certain spice to the
on-track battles.

Many thanks to Mark for running the Pool again.

Second last, RESULT!

Thank you Ferrari for tripping up on your own mistakes, thereby trashing
many of my mostly reasonable predictions.

Thank you Mark for running the pool this year, see everyone in 2024,
hopefully less of a whitewash by just one driver and team in 2024.

Always a good deal of luck involved of course.

I’ve sometimes wondered whether it would be possible to introduce a probability factor into the scoring i.e. some sort of odds-based system.
Far beyond my pay grade though.

Anyway, thanks, as always, for running the pool, Mark; it always adds a
little extra fun to GP weekends.

Have a great off-season!

Well, not really much change right at the front, but at least we seem to
be closer for the rest of the field. I'll hope for more narrowing of the
cars' performance next season.

Well done to Sir Tim for the second year in a row (this time just by
himself).

Always a good deal of luck involved of course.

Unless, of course, you have an old DeLorean and a flux capacitor under
wraps in the garage...

I, sadly, not not.

I’ve sometimes wondered whether it would be possible to introduce a probability factor into the scoring i.e. some sort of odds-based system.
Far beyond my pay grade though.

Anyway, thanks, as always, for running the pool, Mark; it always adds a little extra fun to GP weekends.

Have a great off-season!

Thanks, Mark, for all the work you put into this. I think it is one of
the factors helping to keep RASF alive when so much of Usenet has
become a nuclear wasteland.

Agreed.

I’ll try that again:
