Of the many entrants in our British Grand Prix competition, only eight correctly predicted that Mark Webber would lead home Fernando Alonso.
Of those, two correctly predicted that Kimi Raikkonen would post the fastest lap.
With only one of the magnificent Amalgam Ferrari F2012 1:1 steering wheels up for grabs, the two names went into a hat, with Ken Cheung from Hong Kong being lucky enough to be picked out first.
Therefore commiserations to Graeme Cleland from Falkirk in Scotland who came so very close to winning but fell at the final hurdle. Following a day on which his countrymen, Paul di Resta and Andy Murray suffered disappointment in their respective quests, Graeme must content himself with his runner up prize, a 1:4 scale F2012 steering wheel.
There were five other runners-up and these will receive either a Ferrari 1:4 scale steering wheel or the Mercedes version (below).
While Hubert Fernandez from Hassall Grove in Australia, Evan Jenkins from Belrose in Australia and Matt Porter from guess where.... yes Australia have all responded we have yet to hear from the other two runners-up despite emails notifying them.
Which brings us to the fact that some people appear to enter competitions for the sake of it, not bothered whether they win or not. One of the winners of our recent Red Bull BACKSTAGE competition never responded to several emails advising him he had won so eventually we picked another winner. He then entered our British GP competition. Very odd.
Anyway, congratulations to Mr Cheung and messrs Cleland, Fernandez, Jenkins and Porter. your prizes are on their way.
All in all, the British Grand Prix was pretty good for Australians... both on and off track.
