Righty. So, guess who managed to fall off the good gamehosting wagon again?
Bad kismet, bad! No dessert for you today!
Moving on, here are the correct answers for Brazil:

Not a particularly difficult round this time, overall.
A big thumbs-up and congratulations to MattFoster and Apex who are the joint winners at Interlagos, with identical near-perfect guesses (11 out of 12 correct which, after a few years of F1 Pools, is still the most anyone's ever managed). Defending champion snark ends his somewhat disappointing (?) title defense in a fine third place but it's a little too little too late. Ooh, a 'little' spillage on isle 5 - someone bring a bucket and a mop. Interestingly, the entire pre-Brazil championship top 3 struggles to make much of an impression, but it's still enough for one of them...

And the 2008 F1 Pools champion is....*drumroll* scheivlak who was in the lead going to Brazil and managed to stay there in spite of not ending his season particularly impressively. Not that it matters, he did what he needed to do and managed to fend off Apex whose excellent last-race effort earned him the runner-up position in this year's F1 Pools championship. Third place goes to Estwald who ended his season strongly enough to muscle past dnbn and LB in the overall standings. Congrats, guys! What an exciting season we've had - no runaway champion this time.

However, in case that thread never happens:
Thank you for participating, everyone! I hope we'll be 'seeing' each other again when the 2009 season is upon us. Love you all! In a totally platonic way, of course.
