End of another painful year

I've not had much time this year at all to post on here. But let's have a go at marking what I predicted last year.

I am going to award myself half points on the first two points. If Michael Masi hadn't made up rules as he went along, then both points would have been correct!

1. Lewis Hamilton will win the World Championship for an eighth time 1/2 points

2. Max Verstappen will be 2nd in the World Championship 1/2 points

3. Seb Vettel will still disappoint at Aston Martin F1 0 points

4. McLaren will secure 3rd in the World Championship again 0 points

5. A basic FTA will be signed with the US 0 points

6. Growth will return to the UK economy and GDP will be 7% higher at the end of 2021. 1 point

7. The SNP will win the Scottish paliament elections with >50% of the vote. Labour will win the Welsh elections. 1 point

8. Labour will win the UK local elections. 0 points

9. Sadiq Khan will win the London Mayoralty again with 60% of the vote. 1 point

10. The UK will be the quickest western democracy to have vaccinated all over 50s. 1 point

11. The entire UK will be at Tier 2 or below by the end of April.  0 points

12. President Trump will face FBI inquiries into his Presidency and corruption throughout 2021. 1 point

13. The UK will outgrow the EU in 2021. 1 point

In summary, 7 points from a possible 13.

Let's have a go at this year.

1. Lewis Hamilton will finally win the World Championship for the eighth time
2. George Russell will be second in the World Championship
3. Ferrari will be 3rd in the World Championship again
4. A basic FTA will be signed with the US
5. Boris Johnson will still be PM at the end of the year.
6. Labour will win the UK local elections.
7. There will be no further Covid restrictions placed on the UK population in 2022.
8. Emmanuelle Macron will win the French Presidency
9. The Democrats will lose both houses in the mid-terms.
10. Olly Alexander will be the new Doctor Who.

Squiffy.
