Brazil Predictions revisited.

This GP weekend, I tried to predict the outcome of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Some results where obvious, Red Bull at the front, Caterham and Marussia at the back. But in the middle we generally get a very competitive field, so below is the table comparing the results with the predictions.

As we can see, I have removed non-finishers from both predictions list, but I think that it's a solid job for a first attempt. The average difference between my predictions and the actual result was 1.26, and that was slightly skewed by penalties to Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa. 8/19 predictions were spot on, I shall try again next season, but I think that's a solid earl effort.
