Congrats @todfod! I have probably never been more irritated to see Jenson overtake Alonso than I was on Sunday :-P But, I improved from 6th last year to 4th this time around, which I’m pretty happy with.
Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 15:50
As a hardcore Alonso fan and an avid Jenson basher, I dont think I’ve ever been happier seeing Jenson overtake Alonso for 3rd :P
S-D (@s-d) said on 30th November 2011, 18:09
Haha, so we both predicted against our allegiances to JB/FA for the third place spot? Crazy.

good one @Todfod

Great to do so well after being well out of the running last year. Thanks for the prize Kieth, any chance of it on blue-ray?? :P

Congrats @todfod …..u came out of nowhere…….and i thought @S-D would win this time……..he led for so many races
Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 16:09
Yeah, its hard to believe, but I couldn’t have done it without a little bit of luck.
My 1st prediction championship.. and 1st win. I got big shoes to fill in for next year :)
Mallesh Magdum (@malleshmagdum) said on 30th November 2011, 18:42

Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 20:35

Mallesh Magdum (@malleshmagdum) said on 1st December 2011, 2:26

ME4ME (@me4me) said on 30th November 2011, 17:11
Congrats Todfod and the rest!

Already looking forward to next year!
91jb12 (@91jb12) said on 30th November 2011, 18:16
so my wildly optimistic prediciton to steal the win failed. But thanks to Vettel for single-handedly making half my points by winning 11 times and 15 poles.

Congrats to the winner and fellow Alonso fan!! I will be hoping for another Alosnso win at Silverstone for ya!
Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 20:56
You know I’m asking for trouble when I enter the Silverstone grandstands in a Bright Red T-Shirt
thedamntyres (@icemangrins) said on 1st December 2011, 2:38
Wear the red t-shirt mate.. but with tear off stickers of Vodofone, Santander.. blending in won’t be an issue ;)
Dan_the_McLaren_fan (@dan_the_mclaren_fan) said on 30th November 2011, 18:55
I had a great start of the season, but from Spa I had only awful results. Sunday was no exception : only 7pt gained, and it pushes me outside the top 100. This year was clearly a bad one, even worse than last year.
I really need to perform better for 2012!
thedamntyres (@icemangrins) said on 30th November 2011, 19:37
Jesus…. this is the first time my name appeared in a feature. I scored 29 points in Brazil in my rookie season and I featured only in 5 races.
I’m going to a serious contender next year. I just found a “time machine” from the time machine in e-bay…. bazingaaaa
Benjamin Lowry (@bplowry) said on 1st December 2011, 0:28
The time machine is probably more useful to go back, knowing what you know now, and blitz the field this year ;)
Steph (@) said on 30th November 2011, 19:38
Big congrats to Todfod (who I was backing along with Ads because they’re fellow Alonso fans :P) and also congrats to Doance for this round!
Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 20:54
Thanks Steph. Lets hope Fernando has a better year next year, and more importantly, lets hope for an Alonso win at Silverstone ;)
Steph (@) said on 1st December 2011, 15:06
I hope for his third title and of course a Silverstone win for you :)
lotusien2 (@lotusien2) said on 30th November 2011, 19:49
Congrats to Todfod!
I would not say the truth if I would not say I am a little bit disapointed to miss the Tickets price by only a miserable point! But that’s it!
Nevertheless I am happy to finish 2nd for my first full season and to have win a GP.
I will try again next year. ;-)
And thanks a lot to Keith for this organisation.
Icthyes (@icthyes) said on 30th November 2011, 20:18
Well done @Todfod, we got the same score 9 times this year, 10 times too few for my liking ;-)
Todfod (@todfod) said on 30th November 2011, 20:46
Thanks Icthyes. I think if we are going to be matching each other’s scores again next year, lets make a pact to aim higher.

Congrats to all the winners this year, and a special thanks to Keith and the others involved for organizing this
