Congratulations to Pioneer for taking the 2004 PTPC title in a very strong way! Slightly smaller congratulations to Estwald and mimin for the two other podium spots.
The scores at the Brazilian GP ended up being surprisingly high, with everyone scoring at least 10+8+4 points for JPM, Kimi and Ralf, with most also getting something from Alonso.
The PTPC forecast may be a very unsophisticated prediction tool, but as early as by the
post-Monaco forecast, it managed to pick the five best names. Not in the correct order though.

Renault went pretty much according to expectations and the rest of the teams must be disappointed with the season.
