Hey guys,

Prize distribution will be as follows

1. 45 mbtc
2. 34 mbtc
3. 20 mbtc
4. 15 mbtc
5. 5 mbtc
6. 3 mbtc
7. 3 mbtc
8. 2 mbtc
9. 2 mbtc  
10. 2 mbtc

Also, the Australian Grand Prix Yellow Cap winner will receive this really cool Hoodie + Hat combo  

The prize distribution system looks really good. Just as in the Formula 1, it is quite fair for the people who enter top 10 that they will get a prize. Apart from that the prize special to Australia GP also looks really cool.

good distribution, I like it, it seems more fair to see more people getting something

moreover, nice side motivation for Australian GP, will have to put more effort into next round picks to try to get Yellow cap and improve position on the table, which is not great at the moment, but we have just started

thanks to all who organize once more and to Sportsbet, that is great to us

Holy hell that hoodie combo looks super cool. Extra incentive, not to mention a huge prize pool (not something even close to what I expected after the experience of Season 1, no?).

And I know it's only Race 2 but yeah, it's funny how knowledge and perceived expertise can have nothing to do with pool position... in my case, I feel I'm best placed to perform in: EPL, SerieA/LaLiga/UCL, F1 -- in that order.

My positions in those pools?
EPL: 49
UCL: 15
Serie A/LaLiga: 10/14
F1: 9

Figures, huh?

Sweet price pool! 45 mBTC for first sounds pretty nice! Thanks a lot to Sportsbet.io for bumping it to 75 mBTC in total. 

And I guess it's time to win the Australia Grand Prix. Hoodie + Cap look dope! Thanks a lot.

I just added my picks, even though it's a little early. But I want to make sure, that I don't miss them. Let's see if I can score the yellow cap this week.

if I get in the top 10 I'll be very happy 😁 I don't know much about formula 1 but now I'm starting to learn more about it 😃

i was surprised that i won yellow cap along with 2 others and the funny thing is that we all start with S 😂 ( Lets go S team) 😁

The sweater looks super nice and very comfortable to wear. If any of you have followed clubhouse tv then pete always wears this sweater and he always brags about it! Now I definitely want it 😂

I don't think Australian Grand Prix is this week if I am not mistaken I know is on 2 April which is not this weekend.I think that the prizes are great as structure as both the top three different from the last time this pool was held are hefty prizes compared to the entry fee and the entertaining along the way during the season this pool provides.

The hoodie also looks super nice and I think I am going to win this upcoming race yellow cap so that hoodie will be mine  .I will boast off the streets with it if I happen to win it  ,most probably won't as I gamble only online and people do not know me for a gambler but for super good guy  .

Very nice prize, thank you, so it will be even more interesting for the Australian Grand Prix, would the shipping be worldwide?

Last year Australia was definitely Ferrari country, Leclerc had pole position, the fastest lap and won. It is still very difficult to estimate the positions, I will wait for Friday's practice, but I must not forget the big time difference (I live in the middle of Europe), so I will still give the tips on Friday afternoon.

[notblox1]

And you are behind me, that should really make you think about your F1 knowledge  

My knowledge about F1 is not good as I expected but I am now super motivated to finish above you on table  
I guess no Hoodie and Hat Sportsbet combo for me and you, unless we perform some miracles with many correct predictions and win Yellow Cap.
If in the end of F1 season I finish in top 5 positions I promise to celebrate that with nice giveaway.

My positions in those pools?
EPL: 49
UCL: 15
Serie A/LaLiga: 10/14
F1: 9

Did you forget about BSFL competition and your good rank there in Division 1?

it is a really nice action from Sportsbet to provide combo for Yellow cap winner, and that will put additional effort to make best predictions

there is time to make good strategy for Australia and win it
seems that top two positions are reserved, but Ferrari and Mercedes have enough time to improve and overcome Aston Martin in Australia

I doubt this,the time is equal for all the teams to improve,I don't think that Aston Martin will be losing their time and even Redbull maybe thinking that this will not continue forever,the dominance,so every team has the same time for working on upgrading their cars.I also think that for such short time the podium is already Redbull and Aston Martin under normal race conditions and usually the Australian track is a boring race as it is a very technical track despite being a really fast one,so I think even here we would see a Redbull total dominance.

[darxiaomi]

the past year i was hoping and waiting to Mercedes to upgrade the car everytime we have a break but despisting they fixed some problems and improve a little they never can catch RB in terms of speed.

And as far as i can see this year its gonna be the same sadly.

I expect to see big comeback from Mercedes team in next few races and they are working on fixing some issues with their car.
This could mean that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell could win more points and finish in top positions, but main question for me is team Ferrari.
Leclerc is not doing great this season, he is no t happy with his car and I am not sure if he can repeat last year when he won Australian Grand prix.
What are your predictions for next race?

It's true that Mercedes has been working to fix some issues with their car, and it's possible that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell could win more points and finish in top positions in the next few races. However, it's difficult to predict how well they will do without knowing more about the specific changes they've made to their car and how those changes will affect their performance!!as for Ferrari, Charles Leclerc has struggled in the early part of the season!!!and he has expressed frustration with his car. However, it's worth noting that Ferrari has made some progress in recent races, with Leclerc finishing fourth in Bahrain and fifth in Imola. It remains to be seen whether he can repeat his success from last year's Australian Grand Prix, but Ferrari could be a team to watch in the upcoming races!!!
I made my predictions early, so good luck to everyone.

Predictions for next race for me are almost the same as this last one,the reason is simple,two weeks are not enough to change things around as we saw that Redbull has a clear advantage and is dominating the season in a big way already,all other teams have to work hard in order to close the gap first and then working their way to fight Redbull.As a start they should start to close the gap and compete against Aston Martin,they should start with them in mind as their opponents,Ferrari and Mercedes has Aston Martin to fight of first and then start to think about Redbull.

Leclerc with that message in radio "staying this behind is not funny and I don't know what to do" shows all the Ferrari struggles at once.Mercedes is even worse so the predictions for next race should be the same as the last one.

[darxiaomi]

I check the news and i heard some good ones about Mercedes and Ferrari, seems like they are going to have a big update in their cars.

Both Mercedes and Ferrari aim to have this upgrades for Imola or Azerbaijan, i expect a little more from Mercedes because they are talking about a B car, so  big changes.

The only and main problem its... yes maybe you upgrade your car but what about Red Bull?, if they also upgrade and you cant cut the gap we remain the same.

About Aston Martin i dont heard so much.

Most likely, we'll be in for a wet FP1 and FP2.
Probably a wet FP3 and wet qualy, too:


Source
(it's a German website presented by Kachelmann, a very famous and professional weather host, who's know for his accurate research and commentary. Light blue means possibility of at least 0.1 mm rain during the intervals; medium blue at least 1mm (it's already Australian time zone))

Would be nice to have a wet qualiy as rain is always exciting to mix up the starting grid but around 25% for qualy is not very much.
Mabye we are lucky and it's still wet in Q1.

25% usually means a lot of clouds, but few drops
but yeah, I would also like rain on qualifications, to see mixed up starting grid, and turnovers during the race

however, it is hard to expect that it will slow-down Max, he proved that he is able to catch-up fast in Saudi Arabia, only driver that finished in front was his colleague from the team
Alonso being top spot on P2, LeClerc on position 2, interesting, does not mean anything, but Mercedes only fourth, Russell

It could be a weather lottery this weekend, very difficult to make a forecast, a bit volatile according to this report.



Even though there is only a 15% chance of rain there, a lot can happen with the race strategy, somehow I have the feeling Alonso and Ferrari could surprise a bit.

[boltz]

Alonso is getting more and more comfortable with every lap he is doing on this AM and if he continues to deliver like this , Aston Martin development can sky rocket due to the feedback Alonso is providing and with engineers so capable behind this team , I'm sure they will deliver a championship car next year.

I also thinking he can achieve another podium on Sunday and if that happens , I don't see Ferrari fighting for 2nd championship places like last year because Stroll even if he won't have the same pace like Alonso , he is constant and he can deliver that top 6 for most of the season that result in important points.
