I might change my picks as well. Hamilton seems likely to be on the podium, as Mercedes is usually very strong in the race, especially compared to Ferrari.
Not sure if Alonso can get a podium here, he’s starting far back.
Leclerc had a very bad qualifying as well, probably he can get a few points but people like Russell, Perez or Alonso might be too far ahead once Leclerc has cleared all traffic.

It’s a really hard one to decide. I’m tempted to change my picks but rain can affect positions very much, if we get rain, which is not clear yet but seems possible.

Correct, Mercedes and Ferrari were surprisingly strong, so the updates to the cars worked well, I haven't changed my predictions, but I don't think my podium is very likely with Verstappen, Alonso and Perez, more like impossible. But let's see how the race goes.

Mercedes cars are the second best during this race while at Ferrari I have a lot of doubts because Sainz struggled in both stints before he put the hard compound,Leclerc did a great race and now we are in the final stint of the race and Ferrari is less than impressive.I wonder what they were doing,they should have been definitely on the podium but I believe we have again the team strategy not the right one for Sainz,what he was doing to go to the box when he said clearly I have still pace on these tires and it was that exact moment that ruined Sainz race.A boring race,another boring one and Redbull seem like they are already Champions of the season.

Exactly, Mercedes has made a big step forward with its aero update, Ferrari is a bit disappointing again for me. Mercedes was clearly the second fastest car today, Perez was also very good at the end but unfortunately missed the podium, but overall a good race for RedBull and Mercedes. Perez simply had a bad qualification

Damn, forgot to submit my picks again. I'm horrible at these things - too many pools I'm currently participating in.
No surprise I'm in last place, for Monaco I submitted 5 min before the race when I saw the DM from 1miau.

Well, free money for the winners I guess

In here when you forget to make your picks you pay a huge price as in the end of the pool points won from a race which is a minimal of 8-9 if you just put random picks from the top teams without knowing what you are doing  can damage your overall position up to a position where you cannot get back into the fight for prize spots.

For me luckily today got 11 points without putting my qualifying result and losing also the EBP point which should have given me another plus 3 points to bring me to 14 points which is a good result and I would be several position above,luckily I have not lost much against the top of the standings and this pool this year is looking much more competitive as just a mere 9 points divide 15 spots of the pool.

Slissy and vd309 each win this week's Yellow Cap.
CLS63 wins this week's challenge.
Congrats guys!

[buwaytress]

Nice calls, CLS63 and damn you Slissy ha!

Still, I managed to keep my spot in 8th, so I'm not too upset. These 5 points from the summit feels so big, when you think about how tight these races are. Glad I kept faith in Verstappen. For once Tsunoda got in above 10 and I didn't put him in...

Thank you for your kindness ha!

It's happened at least once for me in every pool, every season. I actually lost prize spots in UCL because I forgot an entire round during round 16 (that was different though, I honestly thought I put in picks and then happily went to look for results and saw the bad news haha).

Strange thing the mind does to you when you think you're on autopilot and then rely on that without actual reminders, huh.

I said it before, Mercedes here have a very nice fit in their car, but in the other hand i dont fully trusted them in my picks. I dont expect that qualy and also dont expect AM being bad in this race.

Ferrari..... they only walk backwards.

I think that Ferrari should start to think to organize the next season from now, it is better for them, no chance to compete also against mercedes (redbull is so far away). I'm absolutely disappeared to see that Ferrari teams

is so poor at the moment and without any idea, in comparison, Redbull seems to be a team driven by alien.

There is a huge difference in vehicles. We can't really watch a good race. It is not difficult to predict who will finish first at the start of the race, as there are great differences in the power of the vehicles. This causes the excitement to be lost.

Ferrari is said to make an offer to Hamilton for 2024. If that happens and they do well for the vehicle, the situation may change. Unfortunately, we will watch the races that will always end the same this year.

Congratulations to Slissy and mosala for winning the round, I wanted to change some positions before the race started, but I didn't do it, and I ended up with 9 points. I believe predicting the results of Formula 1 races for the rest of the season will be difficult. Can we rely on the historical performance of teams and drivers on similar tracks in the past and analyze the current events in the world of Formula 1?
We currently have @salman29 in the lead, and I'm not sure if he's capable of maintaining the group's leadership.

That would be a nice idea.I think that they start working early for next year car but also not forgetting this season as we saw that McLaren did the same thing last year,after 7-8 races they completely abandoned the season to work on the new season car and we saw how badly they start the season,so the best would be for Ferrari to work 50% on next season car and 50% to squeeze as much as possible from this year car,I think in some races Leclerc has shown a good performance but maybe mostly it was driver skill rather than Ferrari delivering.

I also did not believe much in Mercedes to be on the podium today and didn't trust them with my picks to be this high.

Cmon bro you are in the bottom of the Supebro table, you cant be that bad, but I am not much better than you 
I dont know how all the guys on top positions are making such good results with their predictions so far, but congrats to them.

Verstappen won like most people expected but Mercedes is sure getting back on top and catching up on Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin with Fernando Alonso.

It was a great day for Mercedes drivers. It was said that Mercedes were going to have some new updates on their car and it looks like they had in this race. Maybe Hamilton was voted for the driver of the day but I think that Russell deserved it more. Because his climb was even a tougher job. He even stayed in front of Perez which is another great work by him.

It was another horrible race weekend for Ferrari drivers. There is just a huge gap between last season and this one I mean. Maybe Ferrari didn't do very well in general last season but their start was still incredible. But now we don't even see that from them. Leclerc dealt with huge struggles and couldn't finish in a nice position.

Besides Ferrari still continue to make mistakes related to strategy. This time their tyre strategy was hard to understand. Even though Leclerc wanted softs they insisted on doing hards.

[1miau]

Congrats @MoSala and @Slissy to win this round.

Very interesting race, where many overtakes happened. Aside from Verstappen leading, it was a very eventful race, mostly due to pit stops.
Once again a weak performance from Ferrari, Leclerc didn't even got a single point today. I don't know why he pitted so early in lap 17 or 18, he had hard tires on. Hamilton had soft tires and pitted almost 10 laps later.
Sainz from P2 starting grid to P5...
Ferrari can't catch a break...
Bad luck for Lando as well. After damaging his front wing in lap 1, he needed to pit and lost his great position, and ended up last after his early pit stop. Could have been decent points for him.

I wouldn't mind to send you a PM every race weekend as I'm active here anyways and if it helps to get your predicion in, that would be a good idea, wouldn't it?  
We are still having so many races, it's still possible to make up many points.  

[boltz]

Congrats guys for the wins and yellow cap! Well deserved one because this race was pretty hard to predict from qualifiers to race.

Now the race didn't look as much but I might dare to say that Mercedes found a way to have impressive race pace compared to last races so no wonder why both of drivers got really a good race today.

Max...he is still on his own league right now but Perez did quite the recovery race and I was impressed by his driving skills today after such a failed qualifying session yesterday.

Ferrari...oh man , they lack everything right now on that car...and I can feel the pain myself.

I couldn't allocate enough time for the forum due to working on a high tempo for the last 15-20 days. I'm going back to my usual order again from now on. I will make posts on the topic to remind the ones who didn't make prediction before every race.

P.S.: I also forgot to make prediction for qualifying.

So I was not alone,it seems that when there is intensity in races,weekend after weekend we need some better focus in order to not miss any prediction as 3 points may seem a little if I assume we would have gotten Verstappen first but in reality those 3 points are extremely precious in a pool like this which most people will get a nice amount of points every race and we would be in a narrow gap in points against each other,those 3 points may result of vital importance when we approach the final stage of this pool as I have suffered this myself last season,I never got 2 EBP points in the first three races and those 6 points let me finish third while I could have finished second easily with those points.

So people do not forget to put your picks and put a reminder on your mobile phones (I will start myself doing it) as this pool is different from soccer pools,little points here make a big difference in the long run.

Ssshhh.  Don't say it out.  Lol.  Especially not in the other F1 thread.  

Yeah Hamilton and Russell did pretty well and honestly a little bit surprised.  Imwas expecting two drivers to give us a show, Sainz and Alonso since it was their home race.  But any driver can't do anything else if their cars aren't up to the task.

The race was a bit better than the last one tho I was kinda bored with it.

I'll organize better for next year, for this season the white flag's already in the air
Appreciate the offer though, thanks!

Still 15 or so races to go though, I'll continue playing for fun of course.

Well in this context you have got nothing to lose and you can try some unexpected results which some Safety Car and some unknown incidents can further boost your position.We cannot predict the future but let me check the table of the tournament now and see,you are a bit behind at 57 points which is 35 points from top spot but there are 15 other races and there are about 250 points in total to grab so anything can happen and you should play for fun without having high hopes but if you see yourself in a prize spot in the end,well that's great,don't you think  .
