Scores from week 45:
F1 Abu Dhabi:
Nico Rosberg made it three wins in a row when he won the F1 finale in Abu Dhabi. As with the prior two races, he led from start to finish with Lewis Hamilton following him across the line in the runner-up’s spot. The Ferraris were again the best of the rest, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing ahead of his teammate Sebastian Vettal. The Force India Mercedes also had a good race, with Sergio Perez taking fifth place and Nico Hulkenberg seventh, with Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull Renault between them. Felipe Massa was the top Williams Mercedes, finishing eighth, followed by the Lotus Mercedes of Romain Grosjean. The other Red Bull, driven by Daniil Kvyat was tenth. Valtteri Bottas was involved in a pit accident in which he came out of his pit box and hit Jenson Button. Bottas received a five second penalty for the incident, leaving him with a 13th place finish.
Congratulations to Sebastian and Drewe who tied for the win, giving Sebastian 9½ wins for the season, and Drewe 8 wins (7 outright wins and 2 ties). Their score of 224 was the highest this season for a single event weekend. Congratulations to me for winning the overall season, and getting the most points out of F1 for the year. Final standings…
The Motor Racing Game 
Big, big congratulations to iomracer for convincingly winning the 2015 TMRG Championship. I did miss a few weeks because of my accident, but it only put me back 123 points, plus looking at the picks iomracer made and knowing the approximate picks I would have made, I certainly would not have made any notable gains. There was a while when I mixed my picks up a bit to give the huge luck I needed to catch up some breathing space, but it did slightly more harm than good which was to be expected.
