WELL DONE LEWIS!
ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX RESULTSThe final race of the Formula 1 season in 2019 ended in somewhat anticlimactic fashion -- the top three all finished in the same positions they started. Now, who would be happy about that? The person who got a perfect podium off it!
Taking the individual win -- and with it, the 2019 Individual Championship -- is
Exediron, with a third Perfect Podium on the season.
With 19 points scored in the finale,
No Limit Excedrin Racing are the team winners. It will be a small consolation for them, since they lose out on the Team Championship by a mere 3 points anyway.

Individual Standings - 2019 Final
Exediron is the 2019 Individual Champion, with a timely Perfect Podium sealing the title by 8 points in the end. Mod Onyx slots into second, with Remmirath remaining in third.
Outside the podium positions, Mod Titanium and Icemanjee1 remain in 4th and 5th. Charles LeBrad moves up one position to 6th, with Espo moving up two places to 7th. It's less good news for Herb, who slides two places to 8th; robins13 rises one position to 9th at the end, and Mayhem just barely hangs on to a top ten position despite not scoring in the finale.
Further down, JN23, cm97 and Lotus49 all move up one place, taking 11th, 12th and 13th respectively. These positions come courtesy of Jezza13, who falls from 11th to 14th by dint of missing the finale. coulthards chin hold station in 15th, joined now by P-F1 Mod and Jenson's Understeer, who each move up one position to 16th and 17th to the detriment of CarlPotter, who falls to 18th.
The final five positions are unchanged, with Bentrovato in 19th, mcdo in 20th, Mod Blue in 21st, and RustyRockets44 in 22nd. Black_Flag_11 is last of the classified entrants, but having missed over half the season that's not a surprise.
Team Standings - 2019 Final
It was close at the finish; with No Limit Excedrin taking a resounding victory in Abu Dhabi, they closed the majority of the 12-point gap to Drive Sauber...
But they didn't quite make it. By a mere 3 points in the end, Drive Sauber are the Team Champions of 2019, denying the defending champs their bid to become the first team to ever successfully defend a title. Maybe next year!
NLER remains in 2nd, a ways clear of Victorious Secret, who move up to 3rd. Mission Copy James takes 4th position, followed by Crisis in Management, who secure 5th place and with it the coveted honor of being the top Mod Squad.
Behind the top five, Sand Bag'n falls one place to 6th. Management in Crisis climbs one place to 7th, benefiting -- as did many others -- from the precipitous fall of 2017 champions Jalopy Racing; a failure to score any points on their part sees them tumble from 3rd to 8th at the last race.
The final three teams remain unchanged, with Lotus-CC Racing in 9th, followed by We The North in 10th and The Also Rans completing the season (at least in spirit, if not in actual participation) in 11th.
Congratulations to the winners, and
thank you to everyone who participated in this 2019 season!
