Practice 2 is about to begin and I took this bet :



Yes , it's a bold one but the odds for Verstappen and Leclerc are almost the same so I think it might be a trap for Verstappen that's why he's having that big odd of 2.30 and this made me decide to pick of Charles for this Practice 2 session.


EDIT  Sainz did it and his odds were over 10...

Hopefully I will get it right this time with Verstappen on Pole Position as the sprint which will be used as the Pole Position is a normal short distance race in which Redbull and especially Verstappen excels at.I think in the race Ferrari is still lacking something,I don't know what but they are still lacking something.Redbull and Mercedes I believe can recover in Sunday race no matter what their places will be after the sprint qualifying race.

If Ferrari will not win here and in Hungary then most probably it is game over for them,so I hope to get my predictions wrong for a couple of rounds and we keep seeing a good fight for the Championship.

I did the same. I know he feels the worst for not getting pole more often, and he (and I) will be hoping Ferrari actually hasn't fixed whatever their core problem is. He doesn't need all that to be fired up, but recent comments about him too should put on more fuel on that fire.

1- I know the rules are the rules , but if one driver make a real humanitarian aid helping a crashing driver, the marshalls have to help him to go to race again. What i say its if you make a relaunch and you have a red flag when you can  repair the car (only a tyre blow) you can make an exception and make him racing again for his maginificent action.

Yeah this is beyond sportsmanship but professional sports has to be blind to that -- I have also seen such gestures in football, cycling, go unrewarded (at least in terms of game points itself) but I think that sort of helps explain the gesture, knowing you've put yourself out of the race by helping someone else. And that almost makes it even more magnificent. I think things are fine as they are, that's all part of the nature of being selfless.

As you said it is really bold to bet on a Free practice which many drivers do not care for the outcome of that particular session and they are only trying different setups preparing for the Sprint race just 3 hours from now.I think betting on the Sprint can be a good option as it is a mini race which will not last more than 50 minutes and hopefully no incidents will occur in the start.If the odds are good for Verstappen or Leclerc for the Sprint race then it is better to bet on them,I would not underestimate Sainz though as he comes from a huge motivation compared to other drivers after being 2nd in Canada and winner in Silverstone.

Mercedes are starting to live up to a better rhythm. I already think that Mercedes have the best engineers among all of the Formula 1 teams. I would absolutely bet on Mercedes with some amount of money if bets for the champion team of next season were opened already now.

yeah, next season race could be Mercedes run, but this season seems to be over for them
will be interesting to see what they can show over the weekend, because that could influence rest of the season, but I do think that Max will not let this year title to go away, he is pushing it good at the moment, and LeClerc lost steam, after initial success

regarding Perez, he is probably not even allowed to play against Max

It really looks like Max Verstappen will just cling to the title this season but we are saying this considering the current situation of the season of course. We have newly reached the middle season now with the Austria GP. Everything can change in the other half as it is Formula 1 we are talking about. If Ferrari solve their tactical problems Leclerc still has a chance to catch up with Verstappen in time. He will just need to be patient. Hamilton did it last year and the champion was decided by literally the last lap in the last race of the season.

[darxiaomi]

Ohh man a lot of struggle for Hamilton to pass the HAAS of Mick Shcumacher, also great defence by Mick.

After that a very boring Sprint race.

Lets see tomorrow how the pit stops can change the race.

Hamilton did it last year and the champion was decided by literally the last lap in the last race of the season.

Verstappen just controlled the race after the difficulties he had in the first lap or two because he was attacked twice by the Ferraris but he could hold up and once he had a clear track ahead of him,he barely kept racing and didn't push the car to the limits,differently Leclerc forced the car as he made a really fast lap compared to the others but the fastest lap here is worthless as it does not give any point in the sprint race,it can give points only in the Sunday race.

On a side note for the prediction I already have 3 points because of EBP and because of Verstappen position,for tomorrow though my predictions got screw up during the race as I did not expect to see those Haas performing so well in this track.

Leclerc and Sainz has made really a great run this saturday with sprint race, but Verstappen was really formidable and he has made better than them. Hope that

tomorrow finally it could be the day of Leclerc, he really a deserve at least another win in this season.

After the sprint race, we can say that RBR is stronger or faster heating up the tires.

Ferrari did good laps times but only after 4-5 laps, they were able to pair the timing of Max.


They need a god start of a undercut to able to winning imho.

That is very correct. The only battle Ferrari will get , it's between their cars and drivers as we saw in Sprint Race that they are nowhere near RedBull when it comes to speed trap and tyre management.

For me , it would be interesting to watch Mercedes here as they always performed in Austria and I won't be surprised to see either of them on the podium. Also , Mercedes always won a race in the first 10 races so if they won't win here or be on podium, the steak of so many years will be over for them.

Bets ? hmm, thinking to take Ham to finish on podium on x3 odd

Sir please note that Formula 1 Austria Grand prix is finished now, and Hamilton has finished on podium (3rd place).

I see instead that Ferrari can really compete against RBR, but should solve his problem of reliability if they wants to try to win this year. It was ridicolous to see Sainz's car in fire almost at the end of race.

Congratulations to cls63 and ILuckyGuyI for winning the yellow cap of this race with 12.5 points.

Personally I am doing great as I missed it again in the 5 or 6 consecutive prediction week for just 0.5 points.I am happy with my performance in the last 5-6 races which I have instilled a good gap with people below me and I am near in points,reaching the people above me little by little,I just hope I continue with this same rate of correct predictions from which I am doing better than 9-10 other people every week.Chances are there to fight for the fifth place for real and even somewhat above that.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It was a delightful race to me. Honestly I wasn't expecting this race to be this much competitive. Because Verstappen proved his speed already in the qualifying session and the sprint race both. I was waiting for a domination by him in the race as well. However Leclerc showed that he kept his real strength for the race. He was so fast that Verstappen couldn't keep him behind every time he was ahead of Leclerc. I'm really sad for Sainz because it was a really unfortunate and horrifying problem on his car. If he stayed in the car more then the situation would be much worse for him. Leclerc was nearly out of the race too because of a problem with throttle pedal but thankfully he managed to win the race still.  

@swogerino  Thank you mate. I'm really happy for having a successful weekend.

Well again i keep pushing with Mercedes hahaha. A really good race to see, very interesting and funny.

Ferrari desesperate needs to solve the engine and mecanical realted problems, they cant be so bad in realibity. I didnt expect they win here against RB and MV.

We reach the half of the season oficially, and Ferrari spend a lot of his engine and components they are i a really risk i think for the final stage of the season if they continue whit the problems. I think Sainz engine after the fire can be very damaged.

In this race Mercedes was the team who score most point, really incredible having a worst car than RB and Ferrari.

11) Austria - CLS63, ILuckyGuyI

congrats guys
interesting race, maybe a small signal that second part could be more interesting, not just Max taking a title without proper fight

Mercedes on third and fourth place, great for them, and it could signal better second part of the season as well
just five drivers within one lap in the end, but interesting fight for first place

[buwaytress]

CSL63's third yellow cap, I knew he was a long-game hustler, watch out for him in the football pools Well done, bastards.

Second sub-10 point race for me, amazed to still be in 6th -- it looks catchable, 12 points away "only" but every race the margins are so tight it's going to take a lot of mistakes for top boys right now.

Anyone else really happy with Hamilton?

[CLS63]

After a long break, I'm very happy for winning the yellow cap. When it comes to the race Ferrari were too fast compared to Red Bull.

If Sainz didn't have any problem with his car Ferrari were going to double very comfortably. Leclerc's problem with the throttle pedal in the last moments of the race scared me as a Tifosi. However Leclerc still managed to get past chequered flag staying ahead of Verstappen.

Yeah I close a nice distance with you as the distance in points in a pool like that are really small and getting the pole or the fastest lap of the race can make a big difference in the end of the pool.I was once last in the first 3 races of the season and it shows that being consistent pays off in the long term.

For Hamilton I am always happy but unfortunately Mercedes did not brought the upgrades they promised as they promised to fighting for race wins from Silverstone and after.We are exactly in that part of the season,hopefully after the August official F1 holidays in the Spa race in Belgium we can see the true fighting for the race from Mercedes.That would just add up to F1 being more competitive and even better to watch.

He wrote my name wrong to prevent me from recognizing. Despite its being my third yellow cap I'm winning the yellow cap for the first time after eight races. Frankly, the pool has been going on really fun. The point differences are really close to each other. But I'm sure that you won't be able to close the point gap with me.

congrats guys

Thanks my friend. You said at the beginning of the year that you were planning to go to HungaroRing. There is a little time left for the race. If you go to the race don't forget to send photos.

It's the same with all the pools, consistency wins the day. It's like City really, you can afford to lose more times than Liverpool and still win the title as you win more games. Liverpool don't lose so much but fell short as they couldn't get a win out of draws. Sorry for football reference.

Look forward to see Mercedes bring it to the table then, I'm a complete neutral so a race to the wire is that excites me most.

Not more sure than I am haha, but glad you're enjoying it. It's a game of patience and cool. Can be tempting to put in outrageous picks but you'll only fall behind on one failed gamble. Enjoy the freebets!
