A nice and close finish with just one point between Verstappen and Norris, although the drame was over at Qatar already when Max secured the title. And Leclerc at third isn't far off either!
Nine different winners is one less than last year, but still a good amount.
Q1-Q4 are season scores divided into four quarters, races evenly distributed 6-6-6-6 for the first time in ages.

The middle bit of the season was pretty good though and 2025 feels very promising and unpredictable!
Voter attendance has been clearly better than last year and that makes it much easier and more meaningful to keep running the votings. More voters are of course always welcome!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2025!
