I'll do it question by question

 

9 entries including myself, so not many but enough to be interesting.

 

Q1 Matchups

 

HeidfeldsBeard 16
MJB5990 16
HamiltonFanboy 15
ConsiderAndGo 15
TIFOlonSO 14
Jimiisgod 14
sopa 14
me 12
kingboe35 12
 
This question wasn't hugely divisive because of how many matchups had an obvious choice.  HeidfeldsBeard was the only one to pick Perez to bt. Hulkenberg but unfortunately gave back the advantage back by being the only one to erroneously pick Maldonado to beat Grosjean! 
 
Q2 Mclaren
 
Only HamiltonFanboy predicted a low enough points total (75) to be within 50 of Mclarens final total (27) and so scores 5 points and takes the early lead!  
 
HamiltonFanboy 20
HeidfeldsBeard 16
MJB5990 16
ConsiderAndGo 15
TIFOlonSO 14
Jimiisgod 14
sopa 14
me 12
kingboe35 12
 
Q3 Merc losses
 
Merc lost 3 races so 3 players scored 4 points (guessed 2 or 4) but sopa got it spot on so jumps up to tie the lead with the 10 points.
 
 
HamiltonFanboy 24

MJB5990 20
me 16
HeidfeldsBeard 16
ConsiderAndGo 15
TIFOlonSO 14
Jimiisgod 14
kingboe35 12
 
Q4 RAI vs. VET
 
Just HeidfeldsBeard had Vettel dominating Raikkonen by more than 50 points and ties the lead
 
HeidfeldsBeard 24
HamiltonFanboy 24
sopa 24
MJB5990 20
me 16
ConsiderAndGo 15
TIFOlonSO 14
Jimiisgod 14
kingboe35 12
 
Q5
 
No one predicted Perez to win the group so no points
 
Q6
 
Just Considerandgo picked Vettel to win this group which was worth an important 10 points...
 
ConsiderAndGo 25
HeidfeldsBeard 24
HamiltonFanboy 24
sopa 24
MJB5990 20
me 16
TIFOlonSO 14
Jimiisgod 14
kingboe35 12
 
Q7 
 
So it all comes down to predicting the order of the Constructors Championship.
 
Aided by nailing the correct top 4 of Mercedes-Ferrari-Williams-Red Bull,
 
**ConsiderAndGo** takes home the trophy 
 
1st ConsiderAndGo 43
 
=2nd HeidfeldsBeard 36
=2nd sopa 36
 
MJB5990 32
HamiltonFanboy 30
me 28
Jimiisgod 26
kingboe35 24
TIFOlonSO 23

 

Considerandgo I pmed you.

 

Unlucky everyone else, maybe the Qs could have been designed better, I'll think about it for next year
