I think dede has this in the bag: a good horse only jumps as high as it needs to

Yeah I think I will win the championship this race. What could go wrong actually? Randoms are very rare nowadays and I doubt I will get one when I can finally go back to points zone after 10 hancock races.
Btw it's funny, one more bad result and I will lose half of my sponsors because of complaints. And I'm currently leading the championship.

Just a quick reminder: you can spare, you only need 5 points ;)

Ethan has the best ideas. They are great.
Everybody says that. I love his idea.
I love Ethan, he is very special!

Kuba would be in top 10 if it worked like that

I think the other Hancocks have inside information on which races to push, how did they all know to not try this race? Same at Kaunas! I want this information :(

Obviously this season is a give away trophy for the Champ. Not good competition for this elite group this season.

I don't think any season is a give away trophy. It's natural that some seasons the competition for the trophy is harder than others (not that it can really be measured), but that is part of the game and provides opportunities to those who can identify it. For someone to prepare and execute a successful title attempt means that they are able to outperform the other elite managers over the course of a season, managers who have proven that they are some of the best in the game by getting to elite in the first place. So to put that together is a massive achivement and certainly Andrea deserves a lot of credit for what he has managed to do.
When trying to compare seasons, and the competition within each season it's also important to understand how certain dynamics of the game can change. This season has been a good example of that through more managers picking stronger tyres. Instead of the situation we've seen in many recent seasons where the managers with title hopes were almost the only ones picking some of the most expensive tyres which were able to come out on top in nearly any weather condition, this season we saw a trend towards more managers picking the top three tyres. As a result of this greater parity in tyres the weather can influence results more, making the consistent points scoring performances generally needed for high points tallies harder to achieve.

What a season, guys! Might be entertaining for others to watch, but I'm sure that for title contenders it was a real pain. I would love to hear opinions by Gyuri, Harsh, etc.
My pain started as soon as tyre supplier picks got revealed. Thinking that pushing for title would mean scoring points in all races while trying to win as much as possible, but then finding out that you would spend like 30M in some races hoping to score 1 point... well... that is too much for my way of playing the game: spent 600M in one season, burnt all my sponsors, almost ended up in negative starting from 100M.. Oh man.

Hah! I've just passed my advanced probability 2 course so I'm quite happy despite how stressful was this season in GPRO :)
So, first of all, congratz Andrea, this season was far away from a gift...
My pain started earlier :D TDs, you know, if I do not pay them bonuses then they're just simply don't deal with me, sadly :(
Before the first race I simply didn't believe that I started in like P20. Then in R3 I thought that no one will be mad enough to update the car so much, and it looked good until the race, you had overwhelming race pace...
And then I had my stronger races in the wrong places, I think I should've changed tyres with Ethan, then both of us should've won at least once.
After Kaunas I know that I had no real chance, don't know what happened but I shouldn't have run out of DE :( and of course my first laps also worked against me. But then (in Montreal) I simply forgot that I cannot train my driver if I'm in negative balance, to my excuse it hasn’t happened to me in seasons but that was an amateur mistake, and at the end it costed me not too much, but 4 pts against Andrea again. That's it.
In the top 4 there are 3 tyres - diverse season for sure.
After all I get some experience how a battle in the top looks like, it was a little bit too pro for me, but hopefully I can try again sometime. (when I maybe have more time :D ) Now it's time for a relaxing few seasons.
I want to thank all the HC members who motivated me, and pushed me forward. You're amazing :)
if I counted well, 8 records broke this season, well done to them, especially that Q2 quali record :D

10 races in a row without repeat winners is my take from this season. George ended it last race, but it's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen a season with so many winners. Whoever wins EBG and Max's Top 10 are either clairvoyant or need to go get a lottery ticket ;)

Klas' (accidentally) successful lottery race whiting start will forever be the most spectacular feat of luck I have ever witnessed in this game.

It's not even the first or second time in the last 5 seasons he's done it either so I'm genuinely debating whether it's luck :D

I'm doing it next race and I'm sure it will work. Right Klas? I'll fight you for the win.
