    Already looking forward to next year. The last race of a season has
    rarely made me feel this way in the last couple of decades...

    As always, and as I'm sure many others are going to say:

    Thanks for doing this!

    It definitely adds some fun to the race weekends.

    And next year: I promise to try harder to get all my picks in on time
    (even though, if I'm honest, I'd probably have lost the pool if I'd gone
    with the picks I had in mind 😜 )

    Thanks for running the pool again, and I second that optimistic outlook.

    Thank you for doing this. Great effort! Well done.

    Despite the fact that I was really bad predictor ;)
    But, it was fun.

    I hope you will continue doing this next season.
    There are only small group of us old farts on the Usenet, so keep it
    rolling.

    Wish you all the best!

    Cheers from Zagreb, Croatia.

    Well, it certainly was a year of variable fortunes for the teams and
    drivers, with some really exciting racing taking place. Let's hope for
    more next year!

    Many thanks for running the pool once again, it adds greatly to the
    interest of a race weekend.

    Season's greetings to you and yours!

    I was much too late to the party to join this year but I'm really
    looking forward to taking part for the 2025 season! A friend and I just
    had some informal predictions throughout the year and my heart
    definitely influences my choices more than my mind :D
