   What made things 'interesting', or 'difficult', was the variable   
   performance throughout the season of the second rank teams (and   
   sometimes drivers). In turns, Merc, Ferrari, and McLaren surged and   
   faded almost race by race, as did Checo's performance. So while picking   
   Pole and Winner was straightforward, second and third places were always   
   up for grabs. It all added excitement, though.

   Whew! Glad to have wound up third, after languishing around 11th near   
   the start of the season. Being only four points ahead of the next three   
   going into the last race of the season, added a certain spice to the   
   on-track battles.   
      
   Many thanks to Mark for running the Pool again.
