To finish first, first you need two Finnish...​

What we see the banner say: "Think when we drive."

What Kimi and Heikki see: "Drink when we drive."​

"We're all going down the pub la la laaa..."

Heikki: Come on Kimi, you've finished every race this season, smile.
Kimi: *Feeble attempt in picture*. Just pay attention to me , I don't know what I'm doing!

 

[Touring Mars]

Sad but true: the only point Heikki has had all year

--

Heikki demonstrates how he might hold a fire extinguisher... (with both hands)

 

[dhandeh]

​

Heikki - I'm sure I left my oversized sunglasses over there.

Kimi - Yes.

 

[DK]

Kimi - "What's with the weird pose?"
Heikki - "I won't have a seat next season, so I'm practising holding a touring car's steering wheel. They're bigger than steering wheels in F1 cars, right?"

 

[DQuaN]

Heikki: Seriously, it's an awesome shortcut!

Kimi: You sure the gate won't be shut?

Heikki: Yeah....

 

[Akmuq]

Kimi: Get your hand off of me, Heikki!

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Heikki Kovalinen: "Is that a green flag?"​

And thus, the Gate-gate controversy was hatched.

If it weren't for Richard Nixon, we'd have nothing clever to call our controversies.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Final Round - Brazil

Heikki: So three Germans race drivers walk into a bar carrying a keg of beer

Kimi: What kind of beer?

Apologies to everyone for the delay in posting up the poll for Round 19 - USA... due to no internet at home, moving house and limited internet access at work, I've not been able to post the poll until now, but it is now up here:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=7868670#post7868670

Please vote if you can.

Please note that the deadline for voting in R19 and the deadline for entries for R20 have been extended to Mon 17th December, due to the fact that I am traveling to India for a conference from Friday. I hope to have internet by the time I get back, so the poll for R20 will be conducted in the week of 17-21st December.

Heikki: "You went off the track, thinking the gate was open, not knowing it was actually closed. The gate was...very bad."

Kovalainen: "Jenson reckons his is this big."

Raikkonen: "He'd probably get a lot of chicks that way."

Kovalainen: "Yeah, but can you imagine how heavy it would be?"

Raikkonen: "And it would be awkward having to get it out all the time."

Kovalainen: "And you'd have to explain yourself if people didn't want to see it."

Raikkonen: "Where the hell did he get a fishing rod like that, anyway?"​

 

[Sanji Himura]

Did we took that left turn at Albuquerque?

Thanks, BlacqueJacques... I really appreciate it . Sadly, I no longer have sufficient time to frequent the forums nearly as much as I used to, and as such this comp hasn't run as smoothly as it might have!! This month has been very, very busy for me for several reasons, and luckily for me, all of them good.

Entries for the final round will close tomorrow evening at 1900 GMT.

Vettel's face before he concedes that getting Andretti's attention is like trying to explain evolution to Rick Perry.

Hamilton: Is that a stetson?
Andretti: It's a hat, son...

Congrats to DK and to me () for jointly winning Round 19, and for a thrid round win each. Somewhat unbelievably, atleast one winner of the previous two rounds was in Pune, India last week... what a coincidence! The race for the title is now super tight...!

[prisonermonkeys]

Don't think for a moment that getting just enough points to take the lead in in the penultimate round - which, coincidentally, always seems to happen at this time of the competition every year - gives you cause to rest comfortably.

 

[livemusic]

Hmm, just got into the top 10 but I'm not competing in the last round.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Dammit. Still so close to the top 10, but even a win in Brazil wont be enough.

 

[niky]

I might just keep that second Ferrari seat. Maybe.

 

[ghskilla]

I think a move to Sauber might be a smart choice next season.

 

[niky]

But Fernando is so much fun to carpool with!

Congrats to haitch40 for winning the final round

And, by a bizarre coincidence, we have a first ever tied Championship, as both prisonermonkeys and myself finish with the exact same score, and equal on count-back as well (with 3 wins apiece). With just one vote difference (prisonermonkeys got 4 votes to my 3 in the final round), prisonermonkeys scored 8 more points to level up the championship right at the last moment! Well done too to Famine for taking the final podium spot and finishing 3rd overall

Meh, 51 pts is ok for me 👍

I won something?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Still happy with at least 1 win per year.
