As we go into the last race, it could hardly be more finely poised, with just a point separating the top three contenders. Hamilton has a relatively easy job on his hands compared to Sav, Humphrey and Big TC. Or can Rodge spring a Raikkonen-like surprise and beat them all.

So then, what you need to do is predict the top eight finishers, and the drivers who'll take pole and fastest lap.

And answer the bonus question, for an extra point that could be all-important: what will be the largest number of places a classified finisher will gain on his qualifying position. For example, in China the answer was five (Kubica started 11 finished 6, Glock 12 7, Coulthard 15 10, Nakajima 17 12). To reiterate, I don't want the driver's name, but the number of places he makes up.

Deadline: Friday 31 October 2359 GMT

Standings:

107 - Sav
106 - Humphrey, Big TC
97 - Rodge
95 - Andy C
90 - Eff One
87 - Skyhook
86 - Dr H
85 - Stuntman
82 - Piers
79 - Nice Guy Eddie
78 - Chris M
72 - BJH
65 - Mrs Skyhook
64 - Tim R, Li'ldude
61 - Spanner, Big Blue
59 - Scouse
50 - Gooner
46 - Apex Clipper

I know that was a minute late. dead pda battery and frantic searching for the power lead. if i'm not in, that's fair enough.

You should be afraid. The deemed entry has to come good at some stage and I'll storm a mighty Kimi (2007) style win using it in Brazil. It's all part of my cunning plan.  
I'm going to win it in the courts on a technicality by playing the Ferrari card.

He's not going to be a cheater though, just assuming the role of Ferrari in this mini drama.

Unless you're implying that Ferrari.....?  

Well I could never comment on that

Congrats to Sav for defending his title. Could this be the start of a dominant spell?

Would certainly like to take part next year after my one season 'sabbatical'.

Those who didn't play - don't forget you can join even if you miss the start of the season - you just start with the same score as the lowest placed competitor.
