Result of the first poll is in

 

[Macca]

Mercedes
PRL Race winner joined by a D2 driver whose points doesn’t reflect his speed Agony could win the race or could crash out. Robert will hoping to prove his speed by scoring solid points. A great unknown that could easily finish in anyone of the 10 positions

Red Bull
The favourites heading into the Christmas race. Michael was a big name before joining PRL, and he’s not failed to deliver. Darius doesn’t get enough credit and oftener sneaks under the radar in D2 delivering solid results and great qualifying positions. Can the pre-race favourites avoid trouble and clinch victory?

Ferrari
Team Bwoah is reunited and hoping to show they still have that winning formula from the last time they visited Brazil. NeYo and Macca haven’t had the best seasons respectively and aren’t as good as they was on 2016. However can a reunite spark another team victory?

Force India
f1racer will be hoping RJDW can help him get one over his compatriot Gary. Force India are predicted to finish near the bottom, however f1racer has a podium finish to his name and on his day RJDW can certainly pick up the points. Will the brightest car of them all be the shining the most come the chequered flag?

Williams
Two rivals from D2 join forces in hoping to take them too the top. Jari has shown great pace but hasn’t had the luck to back it up. Meanwhile Stevo will be hoping Santa’s Little elf’s will do a better job with his internet. Would be a surprise if they won, but can two D2 drivers create a headline?

Toro Rosso
The team with arguably the most even driving pairing. Gary will be hoping not to get outscored by his D2 teammate and Army will be hoping to make a statement. With both drivers capable of scoring well, will they be the surprise team?

McLaren
Former PRL champion teams up with a rookie. Killer showed great pace in the beta and has showed strong pace in bits so far this season. OldSkools pace has been mixed, seems to suit stop, start tracks, so S2 in Brazil may come into his favour. Expect McLaren to score more points in this race then they did in the whole of the 2017 season

Haas
Last time we came to Brazil Yhyy got a 5th place, which at the time was a his career best and a stand out performance. However despite the strong field you could almost guarantee Yhyy to be around there. He is joined by Mike. On his day Mike can hold his own and would be expected to score well, he just needs to keep out of trouble on lap 1. A team that definitely will surprise people....

Renault
A team that could very well win. Switch is very good around Brazil and on his day is a qualifying specialist. He’s joined by V5 who has been dogged by bad luck. Both will be expecting top 5 finishes in the race. Don’t be surprised if come Saturday this is the team celebrating

Sauber
The only current teammates that are teamed up. Veteran drivers and a veteran team. RacingAtHome seems to get involved in less incidents these days. When he says clear of drama he has the speed. Paul has scored points in D2 and his speed has dramatically improved recently. A team tipped to come last, but if they steer clear of trouble they could avoid last place

Well, I've put a £20 bet on us to not finish last. That's at 5000/1. 
We crash 2 teammates out, Paul finishes like normal, I win £100,000.

I'll just make my prediction.

1. Not Sauber
2. Not Sauber
3. Not Sauber
4. By some miracle, Sauber
5. By some slightly less miracle, Sauber
6. If lightning strikes 6 times whilst I become US President, Sauber
7. If I get hit by lightning, Sauber
8. If teammates have meltdowns, Sauber
9. Hopefully, Sauber
10. Probably Sauber.

Toro Rosso and Ferrari are definitely the best looking liveries. But I think the Toro Rosso livery looks better in the game. Not biased at all, of course.

 

[Macca]

2nd poll complete

 

[Garydonegan35]

I voted for macca as I have previous experiences of trying to overtake him and finding it very difficult not calling him a mobile chicane just that he is very good at defending

 

[Oldskool3000]

Stevo he races 1.3248 seconds behind everyone else due to lag. Hopefully Macca is directly ahead of him into a high-speed corner
