Welcome to Round 19 of murf enterprises's 2010 Formula 1 predictions game.

The latest concrete in the sand race ends of season and what an end. Who will win the title? Alonso or Darbyand? Webber or eagle 224? Vettel or Arabian Knight? Or even Hamilton or bluenosey or greenman?

New entries still always welcome, all you have to do is predict the top 10 finishers and you score points depending on how accurate you are. Full points details etc in the Round 1 thread

Simple picking rules
- stick to the template
- use driver surnames only
- No witty comments / smileys on the predictions lines as these are copied directly into the spreadsheet
- use the correct spelling

BBC Driver List
(don't ask me who will be driving for Hispania - if you are mad enough to pick them then you deserve having to do the research)

Please double check your spelling and remove comments or the automated spreadsheet WILL steal your points!
IF I spot your mistake I will give you a nod to change it. Yellow card system - just one warning/nod each. The spreadsheet has been refined since last year so badly spelled picks will get 0 points.

DEADLINE
Entries must be in by start time of first qualifying session - see below

HOW THE FISO COMP POINTS WORK
The best score in each round will 'win' the Grand Prix and get glory and 25 points then 18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 just like the real thing.

I will also tally everybody's total points scored during the rounds as the 'form guide' secondary comp.

FlyAway Cup!

Last 5 rounds, simply add your actual points from the predictions (not race positions) - highest wins

TABLE

Darbyand and eagle224 both know a win will be enough and there are dozens of other combos. 3 others still have a chance and even I can still get a podium.



FORM GUIDE

Arabian Knight and Darbyand are amazingly tied for the lead here with greenman only 6 behind. Good weeks for spinynorman or even eagle224 could still see them snatch the crown. We'll ignore the 8 others with a mathematical chance.

Intriguing practice times given the championship standings. Probably lots oif sandbagging (and that is just you lot holding back on your predictions....)

Lewis Hamilton laid down a marker for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by producing the fastest lap in Friday practice.

The McLaren driver, who has a slim chance of winning the title in Sunday's season-ending race, went round in one minute, 40.888 seconds at Yas Marina.

Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, third in the standings, was second quickest with a 1:41.145 while Ferrari's championship leader Fernando Alonso was third.

Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber was 0.427 seconds off the pace in fourth.

Will have to do something different to beat the inform Darbyand and Eagle. Good luck everyone (especially Mark Webber. Come on Mark. I'm rooting for ya.) If Vettel is leading Webber with one lap to go and Alonso is third, I hope the young German misses a gear.

I'll be joining you on this one. I'll be watching to see what happens as Hamilton could still have a lot to say about the outcome of the drivers championship and there is no love lost between him and Alonso. I don't like to see team orders on the grounds that people placing bets on the race get stuffed but I also hope Ferrari/Alonso get a taste of their own medicine by Red Bull doing so if they need to see Webber win.

Good luck to Webber from me too.

Not sure why I'm cheering Webber - he has been outpaced by Vettel 80-90% of the time so does he deserve it? Has to be 'ABA' anyway.

Toying with tweaking my pick to be one where first corner chaos gifts Lewis the title and me the win!

Webber was quick in the 1st half of the season...... and he had Vettel turn into him then got blamed for it....and he had the wing taken off his car for no good reason but still won. That's why I'm supporting him.

Shame he's an Aussie.

Just under 30 minutes to go so this is your final call to arms of the season!

Had a little tweak of my team to go sh!t or bust for a win (I'm guessing Vettel takes Alonso out at turn 1!)

I'm hoping to do some 'live' scoring updates during the GP tomorrow so check this thread and we can even have some 'chat' on the title race (ours not the drivers!). No guarantees but I should be able to.

Button currently quickest in Qualifying

Qualifying could be a disaster for Hamilton.
In 17th place on Q2 with 2 mins left


Recovers to make it though
