^^ Despite receiving the yellow jersey, I couldn't climb the rankings and remained stagnant. 0.5 points may not mean much, but the race results were unexpected for everyone, with most players earning ten points or less. I don't believe I'll move up in the standings, but it would be great if I could achieve a third yellow jersey this season.

Ferrari was quite strong a few years ago in Japan.
It will be an interesting weekend to see if RBR will be nerfed after the last change of rules or not.

Congrats on the yellow cap @Ulven!
It was hell of a race especially in final laps. I really admired Sainz's thinking of letting Norris use his DRS to keep Russell behind. Even Ferrari pit wall didn't understand his strategy and they radioed him to inform that the gap with Norris was closing. It was such an unlucky race for Red Bull. If we saw SC at least 10 laps later it would be a chance for Red Bulls to pit as well. Verstappen still did his best but his winning streak is gone now.
At the same time his chance to be on podium in every race in a season is also gone which was Michael Schumacher's record in 2002.

Thank you!! It seems like it was a fierce and well-planned war. In fact, the timing of the safety car and Sainz's choice to assist Norris can have a big impact on a Formula 1 race. Every season, the termination of Verstappen's victory streak is a noteworthy event. It's intriguing to observe how accomplishments like Schumacher's 2002 records remain a yardstick for sporting greatness.

Like swogerino said, none of us changed even with the starting grid.
Yes, changing picks would have backfired big time because Russell (started 2nd) and Leclerc (started 3rd) couldn't achieve a podium. Russell binned it while trying to overtake Norris in lap 61 of 62 (what a bummer) and Leclerc had bad luck during his pitstop, where he dropped from place 2 to 6. Shows one more time how 2 EBP are really a lot, especially for a chaotic race, where overally a low score is met.

I'm wondering whether there will be people among the ones fighting for the championship who will make a choice other than Verstappen for the winner of the race or pole for the Japan GP this week. Especially for pole position I'm expecting to see Sainz Jr's name quite many times. The race in which Red Bull were bad this season has become the best race of the season. I hope that we can see this kind of races more often.

Most likely, it depends on free practice results, which teams are strong and if there's a chance to see Red Bull struggling. I can only see participants select someone different from Verstappen, in case Red Bull really struggles in free practice and we know already which team is clearly in front of Red Bull. Because if we don't know, we have so many drivers outside of Red Bull who could get on pole, like Sainz, Leclerc, Norris, Hamilton, Russell. It's very risky. And drivers from Ferrari or Mercedes are almost equally strong. If Ferrari is dominating, we have Sainz OR Leclerc on pole, while for Red Bull, it is Verstappen for 90% of all races, when Red Bull takes pole. Personally, I've chosen Sainz for pole in Singapore because he and Ferrari seemed to be very strong in Singapore and Red Bull struggled but if Red Bull will be up as usual and as expected in Japan, I'll select Verstappen for pole in Japan. After all, we don't have odds on Superbru. But of course, it mainly depends on free practice.

The last results in Formula 1 have started to be for the benefit of Ferrari more. Because of that I'm thinking about giving more chances to Ferrari drivers for the remaining races in the calendar. But it will still be difficult to predict the right podium of course. Because for example the most recent podium was pretty interesting. Red Bull drivers' not being on podium caused this to happen though. But still the recent races tell me that we might continue to see more attention getting races as of now. For Japan GP, I think that Verstappen will make compensation for the Singapore GP strongly.

For Japan GP, I think that Verstappen will make compensation for the Singapore GP strongly. I think so too but if Ferrari have truly upgraded in all tracks then it will be interesting to see how it unfolds this upcoming race in Suzuka.This is a very technical track,one of the legendary tracks in F1 and I think the drivers play an important role in the overall performance of the car here,it is not you just have the best car and you are going to win the race easily,sure having the best car is an enormous amount of help but in here simply put is not enough.That is why I will put my alarm on 7 AM for Sunday to watch the race as unfortunately European time is not a suitable one for this race.

Yep , Ferrari have always had strong races in Japan so I expect them to do at least good. Unfortunately for me , I forgot for a couple of races that I was still in the F1 pool and now , I will stay on that last place until the end of the season . I think if you don't have the necessary time to make your picks and stuff , you don't stand a chance to be in top 10 at least

I think if you don't have the necessary time to make your picks and stuff , you don't stand a chance to be in top 10 at least In other pools even if you forgot one week picks you could still recover as there are a lot of weeks with more points in your disposal than here.In this type of pool one missed week is devastating,now you can imagine if you have forgotten several weeks what happens ,you are going to stay last. Only 7 races to go and things are getting pretty hot at the top,now that Ferrari is in better form it can mess up the standings even further than they did in this last race in Singapore.I have to watch again the free practices tomorrow before deciding my picks for Suzuka.

What a pity! Rain has always been a factor adding some thrill to the races in Japan. For the first time this season there are big question marks in my head about whether Verstappen would be able to win before the race weekend. I hope that we can watch a competitive race just as it happened in Singapore.

Have been flip flopping my selections for the Japanese GP the last few times between Mercedes or Mclaren finishing top for this race. Had counted Red Bull out for this race due to what happened in Singapore but this might be a mistake. McLaren have undoubtedly won me over with the upgrades and their driver's performance in the last couple of races. Thus changing my opinion on who will take the podium this weekend as this video from Formula News Today shows: McLaren Massive advantage For Japanese GP!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWc9tyoklYs

No rain? So we can all lock our picks in and to hell with it right? P.S. Big boys at Sportsbet office put their picks in also this week in jeremypwr's prediction thread (not that you guys are the ones needing reminders haha). I'm wondering whether there will be people among the ones fighting for the championship who will make a choice other than Verstappen for the winner of the race or pole for the Japan GP this week. Especially for pole position I'm expecting to see Sainz Jr's name quite many times. The race in which Red Bull were bad this season has become the best race of the season.

Bets? I'd do that any time most of the time. Superbru? Max is the Haaland of F1. You don't pick him, you lose. Sainz repeats a shocker and we'll have people considering switching camps though... but agree, RB bad form rather than blip would be way more interesting.

Guys, I remind you don't forget to leave picks. It's easy to miss it because qualifying tomorrow begins quite early in the morning for us in Europe. So, it's easy to miss it if you will wake up a bit too late. Damn, people in US have to get up so early most part of season if they want to watch rraces, so, we probably shouldn't complain about several early races . Not really sure about qualifying, but I don't expect something extraordinary from race and Verstappen should win. Red Bull Versappen is looking strong again if we look at practice results.

yeah, it would be much more interesting with rain involved and RB being in bad shape, but looking at practice, it is hard to expect that so, going with Max as usual that gets me to BSFL, where I choose him (RB) not to win qualifications, which is an obvious mistake, it seems nevertheless, cheering for British duo to make something good, or at least Norris, because Hamilton was driving practice as he lost license in the trip to Japan

There are only 7 races left with the Japan GP for the season to finish. Even though Sainz is in great shape I think that Leclerc will collect more points in the last 7 races.I would gladly accept if there is anyone who would like to make a small side bet with me about this topic.

RBR seems back in its position but Ferrari at the moment its clearly the second team in the grid.
Tomorrow we finally have the answer if RBR got a nerf or not with the latest updates from FIA.

I'm tagging the members who haven't made any predictions yet because it is at a time in Europe local time that most people might forget about making predictions.
