Again, the latest season awards are listed out and added to the league table. Amazingly enough, this forum didn't give Kimi a ROTR until 2021, nor did it give an IIDOTR to Hamilton or Ocon either until now.

It does make me smile that, over the years, with new folks like Tsunoda jumping up the order, we still have that old pantheon of Vettel, Ferrari, and Haas, to bless us with embarrassment and incompetence every year. Happy new year everyone :pantano:
