Last Season's Results:
1st: El_Majacko
2nd: craigd92
3rd: Bozza30031998
Pole: Maznat87 (1.09.380)
FL: danirox88 (1.10.936)

1. With Ricciardo moving to Renault next season, who will replace him at Red Bull?
2. What do you think of Interlagos?
3. A late season charge by danirox has seen her secure two victories and a podium in her last three events. Will she be on the rostrum again this week?
4. Predict the podium.

1. With Ricciardo moving to Renault next season, who will replace him at Red Bull?
I'd imagine it would be Gasly.
2. What do you think of Interlagos?
I really enjoy this track, always seem to have good battles.
3. A late season charge by danirox has seen her secure two victories and a podium in her last three events. Will she be on the rostrum again this week?
Highly likely. She was quick here last season.
4. Predict the podium.
Most likely the usual. Jacko, Maz, Dani and I think stewart might be up there as well, hopefully I'm not too far behind. After my horrible last 3 races, I've made sure I'm ready for this track.

1. With Ricciardo moving to Renault next season, who will replace him at Red Bull?
Seems like Gasly will be handed it on a silver platter, but Sainz is out of a seat and still has a Red Bull contract, so I hope its him, he deserves it more than Gasly. Although, if the Honda isn't any good, maybe I'd rather see Gasly and Verstappen suffer.
2. What do you think of Interlagos?
It's a super awkward track which I don't particularly enjoy. I have a disproportionate amount of success here for how much I do, or in this case, don't like the circuit.
3. A late season charge by danirox has seen her secure two victories and a podium in her last three events. Will she be on the rostrum again this week?
It looks likely to me.
4. Predict the podium.
Dani, Maz, bozza.

Q: 2nd
A PB would have been pole, but front row was fine nonetheless.

R: 4th
Didn't make a good enough start to overtake craig, and fell back in the initial laps. I caught him at the end of the stint and mirrored his strategy onto softs on lap 9 from right behind, but had a poor stop and fell out of DRS. Maz and dani were 1 stopping and going to beat me by this point. Maz in particular pulled off the risk of starting last on fresh softs. Craig was too fast for me and Maz made a beautiful move on me to effectively put himself a stop ahead of me before I went to the supers for the final stint. The lack of a fastest lap capped off a poor night for me. Brazil has never been a strong circuit for me, and I was fortunate to emerge victorious last season. Abu Dhabi will be a different story.
