Up from 17th last year!
Since he already won in 2015, he also becomes the second two times champion along with Costaz. Fantastic!
Congratulations also to runner-up Grayson Who was 15th equal last year and for once did better here than in Shareholders,
and to third place finisher Kev00
Abu Dhabi scoring ranged from 16 to 46 points with a somewhat smug Makarias at the top end of that range.

2019 predictability dropped to lower, more pleasant levels than the previous two years, but wouldn't it be nice if there were more than three teams battling for the top spots?

EXPLANATIONS:
Expect: Expectation fulfillment. The driver's current points score as a percentage of the average points placed on him (not rounded off to integer points)
Surprise: The driver's points score as a percentage of the maximum points placed on him plus one. When this number is reached, the driver has achieved a 100% surprise, by beating the highest expectations on him for this season.
Beat: How many players' expectations the driver has managed to beat. The maximum amount is the number of entrants for the season; for 2019 this is 23.

Reality check on some of our predictions
Popularity Poll WCC prediction:
Team Pred Off Ferr 621 -123 Merc 539 +192 RBR 405 + 7 Rena 172 - 81 Haas 117 - 89 Alfa 91 - 34 McLa 75 + 70 RPoi 59 + 14 STR 39 + 46 Will 3 - 2A + in the "off" column means the prediction was outscored.
The Ferrari preseason hype was obviously overblown. We also expected the midfield to close in on the frontrunners more than they eventually did.
Haas: horrible!
