    Last race of the year and what a way to finish - one of 3 drivers will end up as World Champion but who will it be?
    I was tempted to have the poll as who will win the championship.

    58 laps of the 5.281km Yas Marina Circuit

    5th December Practice 1 09:30 - 10:30
    5th December Practice 2 13:00 - 14:00
    6th December Practice 3 10:30 - 11:30
    6th December Qualifying 14:00 - 15:00
    7th December Race 13:00 - 14:00

    All times are UK times

    Poll closes before Quali.

    Seems like a good time to thank you for doing these each race Ched999uk :emoticon-0167-beer:

    Most likely Lando cruises to the win, but I’m hoping for the most entertaining scenario - Lando is spun / knocks his front wing off on the first lap, Piastri and Verstappen fight to win the race and the Championship, whilst Norris fights back through the field chasing the 3rd - 5th place that would steal it back off them.

    I think this happened last year too, but it’s really cool to see the Leclerc brothers together in Ferrari’s during a session - just imagine what it must be like for their parents!

    Their Mum .
    Their Dad passed away .

    From Wiki .

    Hervé died after a long illness, aged 54, four days before Leclerc won the feature race at the 2017 Baku Formula 2 round.[10][5] Prior to his death, Leclerc lied to his father that he had signed a Formula One contract for the 2018 season;[11] he signed with Sauberlater that year.[12] His older maternal half-brother, Lorenzo Tolotta-Leclerc, was best friends with Jules Bianchi, who was Leclerc's godfather until his death in 2015 and his mechanic in kart racing.[13][8] His younger brother, Arthur, is also a racing driver who has competed in open-wheel and sportscar racing, winning the Formula Regional Asian Championship in 2022.[14]

    I was intending to watch FP2 this afternoon but I spent the afternoon in A&E after getting bitten by a dog on my middle finger!!!
    What a performance, x rays, tetanus, plastic surgeons reviewing ....

    It's not bad but waiting to hear from the plastic surgeons (they sent xrays and photos) but I think it should be fine.
