I think I am quite lucky to have opened up a championship lead in the closing rounds, and if things had gone slightly differently it would have been much closer and I might have made more tactical picks, although then the final round would have been done via direct messages to moderators to stop the championship leader copying their rivals.
If it has been close, then I might have held back until the last minute. But being second to such a commanding lead, I treated the last round like all the others and just threw the same old names around into an order like I have done all season.

I think last year I put in a weird last round prediction which would have got me the win if Verstappen and Hamilton got caught in a snow drift and the next best drivers filled the podium, but even that scenario would not have helped this time around!
