Did he really say "It's all yours" before he gave you the wheel?

I'm not sure. I'd rather have the deck chair.

I would sincerely like to apologize for shoving Esteban after the race. It was unbecoming.

Next time, I will simply Verslappen him.

Mexico: David Attenborough - "And here, we see the McLaren, in it's natural habitat"

Brazil: Reporter - "Did she catch you on the counter?" Max - "It wasn't me"

 

[Touring Mars]

Marshal: Do you have an eBay account?

I would have slapped him, but he has the right to unslap himself.

 

[XJ40]

Marshall 1: "One careless owner, recent new engine, gearbox, turbo and electrics. Some trackdays but never raced"

"I can't be charged as an adult so what's the problem?"

 

[Famine]

Mexico
Right marshal: Look, it saved LeClerc's life in Belgium.
Left marshal: I don't care. Halo is still hideous.

Brazil
Yeah, you want some too? Come on then, I'll take on all of you ****ing slags.

 

[Flex0r]

Mexico

Marshall 1: "Are you trying to sell it?"
Marshall 2: *slaps top of car* "This bad boy can fit so much crushed dreams"

Brazil

Verstappen: "Next time I won't shove him, but I'll bring a fish this big to slap him.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Marshall: This car should be painted in a colour that represents its competitiveness - Lemon Yellow, or Sack Brown!

Max: So I said to Esteban - see you not on the track in 2019, you pink mudder fudder!

While Hamilton and Vettel end the season with a flurry of tire smoke, the smoke coming from Alonso’s car is actually yet another engine failure!

 

[Jimlaad43]

With winter ahead and less pressure on a good diet, Alonso and Hamilton take up Donuts and Smoking again.

[SVT Cobra GT]

Whilst Hamilton and Alonso partake in smokey donuts, the bosses of Philip Morris International rub there hands together at more subliminal advertising.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Alonzo and Hamilton celebrate the legalization of recreational canabis in Canada with a little smoke.

 

[XJ40]

Rumour is that Volkswagen supplied the engines for this race.

 

[niky]

The Wonder Woman promotional tie-in wasn't very well received by the audience.

 

[Flex0r]

Local Hookah lounge files complaints regarding smoke nuisance at the end of the race.

 

[Touring Mars]

Sorry for the delay - will post the poll shortly...

Congratulations to @Jimlaad43 for winning the 2018 GTPlanet F1 Caption Competition! A first title win after finishing 3rd last season!

Well done to the other podium finishers, Top 10 finishers and round winners! 👍
XJ40 just pips niky to second spot by winning the Final Round, but niky holds on for a podium finish after winning no less than 6 rounds this season!

Thanks also to @Jimlaad43 for helping to run the thread while I was in Japan! :tup:

A 'Caption Of The Year' poll will follow in the near future, but in the meantime,thanks to everyone who played and voted this season! See you all next year, and hope you all have a great Xmas and New Year!!


​

 

[Flex0r]

Congrats @Jimlaad43.

@Touring Mars Thanks for running it again.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Well done to the winners and podium finishers. I think 5th is my best overall result over a season.

Next year, I'm aiming for at least a podium!
All the best for Christmas and 2019!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Thanks to @Touring Mars for continuing to run this awesome tournament, and thanks to everyone who voted for my captions. I couldn't have won it without you

It's been a long grind, but it's great to finally win the competition that first kept me here at this site back in 2010. It's been a long road to the top.

Congrats to everyone else who scores points, well done for getting close @XJ40 and amazing 6 wins there @niky!

 

[XJ40]

Well pleased and enjoying this competition! Congratulations @Jimlaad43 and that was very close @niky
Virtual pints on me

 

[niky]

Congrats @Jimlaad43 and @XJ40 , knew I would probably lose second place, as I saw Timo Glock spluttering around in the rain on that final lap, but alas, like Felipe Massa, I will retire into obscurity without ever winning that WDC, despite clinching race wins. (I saw it as so inevitable, I voted for XJ40's VW entry twice. Deserving win there, chap!)

Where is Bernie Ecclestone when you need him?

Tough competition this year. Tough selecton of pictures. But thanks @Touring Mars , as this competition helps keep our aging brains churning!

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Thanks @Touring Mars for keeping the competition going; congrats @Jimlaad43 well deserved championship. I finally made the top ten with a ninth place finish; Happy Holidays to all and be safe. March in Australia is not too far away

 

[Jimlaad43]

Here's a few photos from testing to get us back into shape.

 

[XJ40]

Could we all join Kimi in saying a few words to mark the passing of his career.


Edit: If it turns out to have been a good move I will of course eat my digital hat.
