Apologies for the late post - I was Zombie hunting in TNP.
Picks for USA Almonaster - Hulkenberg *, Gutierrez * Boreal Tundra - Sutil †, Kvyat *† Matilda Love - Maldonado †, Gutierrez † Wopruthien - Sutil *, Gutierrez * Hydroponic Nation - Alonso *, Raikkonen * The Bruce - Hulkenberg *†, Massa *† Alunya - Raikkonen *†, Massa *† WFA19 - Hulkenberg *†, Massa *† * Driver has been picked twice and may not be picked again. † Assigned driver. Notice of rules tweak With 2 teams dropping out, people might have been forced to use picks they would rather save. The non-running teams may be picked, but will yield no points. Sorry I didn't clock that in time to allow it for this race. Also a reminder: there will be no double points for the last race in the fantasy league.

Race result and points
1 ) Hamilton : 25 2 ) Rosberg : 18 3 ) Ricciardo : 15 4 ) Massa : 12 5 ) Bottas : 10 6 ) Alonso : 8 7 ) Vettel : 6 8 ) Magnussen : 4 9 ) Vergne : 2 10 ) Maldonado : 1 11 ) Grosjean 12 ) Button 13 ) Raikkonen 14 ) Gutierrez 15 ) Kvyat 16 ) Hulkenberg (ret) 17 ) Perez (ret) 18 ) Sutil (ret) Hamilton started second after some technical issues in qualifyling, but was hard on Rosberg's heels from the start. After the first round of pit stops, their positions remained unchanged, but in lap 24 Hamilton stole the corner at turn 12, and Rosberg could not regain the place. Meanwhile Red Bull had a good drive with Ricciardo impressing again to claim 3rd from the Williams duo, and Vettel fighting through from last place (due to a penalty) to claim 7th. There was a lot of action in the rest of the field, with every driver who finished having been in the points at one time or another. An early incident involving Perez, Sutil and Raikkonen was costly for all 3, with Sutil out immediately, Perez later, and Raikkonen somewhat off the pace for the rest of the race. Fantasy League standings Hydroponic Nation 209 Wopruthien 200 Almonaster 172 Matilda Love 159 Boreal Tundra 147 The Bruce 76 Alunya 75 WFA19 47 Hydroponic Nation consolidates his lead at the top, and with the picks remaining is unlikely to lose. Third place is still up for grabs as both Matilda Love and Boreal Tundra have some competitive choices available. The tail-enders all picked up points from Massa this time, so the order remains unchanged.

First off, apologies for the lateness of this post. I lost web access on Sunday and just got it back a few hours ago. I missed the race, too
 , so no race report. The final GP of the season will be in Abu Dhabi on 21-23 Nov.Race results and points 1 ) Nico Rosberg : 25 2 ) Lewis Hamilton : 18 3 ) Felipe Massa : 15 4 ) Jenson Button : 12 5 ) Sebastian Vettel : 10 6 ) Fernando Alonso : 8 7 ) Kimi Raikkonen : 6 8 ) Nico Hulkenberg : 4 9 ) Kevin Magnussen : 2 10 ) Valtteri Bottas : 1 11 ) Daniil Kvyat 12 ) Pastor Maldonado 13 ) Jean-Eric Vergne 14 ) Esteban Gutierrez 15 ) Sergio Perez 16 ) Adrian Sutil 17 ) Romain Grosjean (ret) 18 ) Daniel Ricciardo (ret) Fantasy League standings Hydroponic Nation : 211 Wopruthien : 210 Almonaster : 172 Matilda Love : 159 Boreal Tundra : 147 The Bruce : 96 Alunya : 91 WFA19 : 67 It's very close at the top. Wopruthien did a good job of closing the gap but is now out of meaningful picks, so Hydroponic Nation will become our champion. Matilda Love has both Mercedes drivers available, so should be able to take third unless Vettel pulls out all the stops for me. I'd be interested to hear any comments people may have on how the game went, and any suggestions for improving the format next year. Post them here, TG Almonaster Nuevo, or PM me on the Canada Forum.

For those who haven't posted yet - final picks of the season are due in 20 hours time.
F1 news It's unlikely to affect anyone's choices, but Caterham are back in for Abu Dhabi, with Kobayashi being joined by Will Stevens. Marussia are out.

Race results and points
1 ) Lewis Hamilton : 25 2 ) Felipe Massa : 18 3 ) Valtteri Bottas : 15 4 ) Daniel Ricciardo : 12 5 ) Jenson Button : 10 6 ) Nico Hulkenberg : 8 7 ) Sergio Perez : 6 8 ) Sebastian Vettel : 4 9 ) Fernando Alonso : 2 10 ) Kimi Raikkonen : 1 11 ) Kevin Magnussen 12 ) Jean-Eric Vergne 13 ) Romain Grosjean 14 ) Nico Rosberg 15 ) Esteban Gutierrez 16 ) Adrian Sutil 17 ) Will Stevens 18 ) Kamui Kobayashi (ret) 19 ) Pastor Maldonado (ret) 20 ) Daniil Kvyat (ret) Red Bull were penalized for a breach of the technical regulations, which meant that Ricciardo and Vettel started from the pit lane. Both did well, with Ricciardo in particular carving through the traffic to finish 4th. Button had a strong drive, too, enough to keep McLaren ahead of Force India in the Contructors' championship. Rosberg had problems getting away cleanly, whereas Hamilton got a great start, and promptly zoomed into the lead. Rosberg kept in touch for the first half of the race, but then developed problems with the Energy Recovery System on his car. He struggled on, but was gradually overtaken by the Williams, then Ricciardo, then Button... . His car developed further faults, and he was clearly out of contention. The Mercedes team asked him to come in to the garage and end it, but he preferred to finish the race, which was a popular decision with the fans. Meanwhile Hamilton's car had been put in to a safe mode to try and avoid similar problems. This slowed him to the point where Massa was able to wind him in. At the end, though, Hamilton crossed the line 2.5 seconds ahead to claim his second Drivers' championship. Fantasy League standings Hydroponic Nation : 211 Wopruthien : 210 Matilda Love : 184 Almonaster : 176 Boreal Tundra : 147 The Bruce : 111 Alunya : 99 WFA19 : 77 It couldn't be closer at the top! Congratulations to Hydroponic Nation for becoming our inaugural champion, and to Wopruthien for pushing him all the way. Matilda Love picks up enough from Hamilton's win to push Almonaster out of third spot.
