Belated scores and predictions for 2023

Another year has gone by and it's been so busy that I've not had time to blog. But let me score last year's efforts and try better for this year!

  1. Lewis Hamilton will finally win the World Championship for the eighth time 0 points
  2. George Russell will be second in the World Championship 0 points
  3. Ferrari will be 3rd in the World Championship again 0 points
  4. A basic FTA will be signed with the US 0 points
  5. Boris Johnson will still be PM at the end of the year. 0 points 
  6. Labour will win the UK local elections. 1 point
  7. There will be no further Covid restrictions placed on the UK population in 2022. 1 point
  8. Emmanuelle Macron will win the French Presidency 1 point
  9. The Democrats will lose both houses in the mid-terms. 0 points
  10. Olly Alexander will be the new Doctor Who. 0 points

Absolutely pitiful 3 out of 10, my worst so far - generally brought on by misreading the F1 season after the rules reset.

Let's see if 2023 can be better, it can hardly be worse:

1. Max Verstappen will win his 3rd World Championship
2. Mercedes will win the Constructors World Championship
3. Ferrari will drop to 3rd in the Constructors
4. The UK will join the CPTPP (pacific partnership)
5. Rishi Sunak will still be Prime Minister at the end of 2023.
6. President Putin will no longer be President of Russia by the end of the year.
7. Labour will finish the year 15% above Tories
8. President Biden will announce he won't run for President again
9. Donald Trump pulls out of Republican race
10. Ukraine will win the Eurovision again!

11. I will finally move into my new house!


Squiffy.
