As long as Red Bull don't have any mechanical failure during races this season they have a car that can win 24 out of all the 24 races. After leaving the last season behind it is really annoying to see this picture once again. I'm wondering the performance Hamilton will show in his last year with Mercedes very much. Besides the Leclerc-Sainz competition is also quite likely to be fiery.

The Formula 1 cars have all been very reliable in recent years (Ferrari was a small exception), especially RedBull and Mercedes. Hamilton disappointed me in the first race and I'm curious to see if he can improve. Unfortunately, the victories will probably all go to RedBull again this year, at least that's what it looks like. Perez is certainly stronger again than last year at the end of the season, but he's also racing for a cockpit place for the next season.

Yeah right now they are very reliable cars, but the problem is right now is a downside for the season because Max Verstappen with a reliable car is imposible to defeat.

Execute plan 2: One car crash against him in the first turn.

[slaman29]

So hearing/reading a lot about Max leaving in the news now, any truth? Hamilton moving next season and Max possibly also, maybe now Red Bull cars will diminish their advantage or prove it's the machine that wins?

I am sending the payment in chunks,this week 0.0005,next one 0.001 and next one 0.0005 because of my difficult situation with gambling.

Although I've never understood why you always choose to do this; I will vouch for you on your behalf

I really appreciate it mate,thanks a lot.I am sending a bit little than 0.0005 and I am sending more than 0.0005 next week but one thing is sure as you and many others have always seen,I always pay in the end,it is just that I am in a bad gambling habit right now which I plan to get out of it.

Here is first chunk payment as a beginning and sorry for the low fee but otherwise with other fees I would be sending less than 0.00035,I promise to pay every week something like that until the 0.002 is fulfilled.

 1st chunk payment https://blockstream.info/tx/2e5df2f69b8c0ae8bde36e6994664c406829876f923ead0ad861d9320eb0271c  0.00042000

 2nd chunk payment https://blockstream.info/tx/c139053505ccd40e785cffd47e7654528eadf70edcd2cece28652faefe16fe0e 0.00059746

 3rd chunk payment https://blockstream.info/tx/68d23cf67ece2f125e8c96b75385f9c22814ada2afbc6a022cee099810d2ec6f 0.0005338

4th final chunk payment https://blockstream.info/tx/476025655cf43626a5e8898b3014045e6132e143950ea5a6538e88d570d387ad

I updated my second chunk payment,one or two more depending on how lucky I am in gambling will end the payment for this pool.Again sorry for the lower fee but I believe that Bitcoin got to the same max all time high earlier than predicted,we all predicted end of 2025 and it got here in early 2024.

Do you guys think Perez can win again in Saudi Arabia as he seem to be in strong form and he usually excels in these kind of tracks,I am thinking of switching the winner for this race but first as always let's see how the free practice ends,they give us a good insight of what will be happening in the race.

Hahaha yes man, plan 2 is from outside and plan 3 is from inside the team.

I cant believe what im hearing about that case, its incredible how shit of person is Josh Verstappen making all this drama when his son is winning easily thanks to RB, pathetic and a giant EGO.

Had to Google this, for some reason this completely flew by my radar (which is strange since I'm in NL and I get pushed a hell lot of Verstappen news). I never liked it when football players' parents somehow became involved in the news, it's worse there because you've got a whole club sentiment that could get affected but not sure if it's the same impact in F1.

Just can't stand circuses.

Not affecting son's performance, though. Fastest in practice today. Surprise, surprise.

Great news!
Now all I have to do is move from bottom positions and start posting predictions on time, so I did it early this time
Do you know is it possible to change my predictions before race for pole position started, if I already saved them in Superbru?

[coinlocket$]

Pole for Ferrari? They looks sound very confident... 

[buwaytress]

Sainz is replaced by Bearman now, I just got the Superbru notify, apparently surgery for appendicitis so expect him to be out at least one more race after this. Doing you all a nice favour by telling you to replace him if you've made your picks, too early in the season to be nasty, heh heh heh.

Ultimately, I left Bearman in my line, just lower down the positions. No idea about him but Ferrari has a good enough machine, no?

This can have an impact in our pool prediction as I am not at all convinced for this new guy to be able to repeat Sainz brilliant race of the last weekend,not because I am judging him without watching but only because of the lack of experience.

It would be interesting to see the results of the pool of this week as I am sure things will differ a lot from last race just because of this change.

Yeah, Sainz absence is quite big factor, but it's good that there is nothing very serious for him and he won't have to miss big part of season. Bearman isn't complete newbie to F1, he had some private testing with Ferrari last year and few Free Practice with Haas.
Zhou had big crash in FP3 and impact was big, it's possible that Sauver won't be able to fix car until qualifying.

That makes two of us, I literally wouldn't have known if not for the SuperBRU notification, maybe I need find some website with real time information or pay better attention to this thread.

I read it was going to be Bearman's debut, so I couldn't trust him with the same level of trust I had for Carlos Sainz, I had Bearman to finish in lower position than I had initially placed Sainz to finish at.

I'm watching the Qualifying race live right, oh well, I never thought I would be doing this but it seems it going to be an all season long thing for me now.

I found out because of this thread too in the beginning,yet if you check the F1 social media pages like that of Instagram,you can get real time updates there and I found out that they were the first to have posted such news.I have gone for Verstappen again and so far things looking good with his absolute domination going to continue also in the second race.

The only challenger in this type of track I see Perez although Leclerc is there too so for tomorrow I am hoping for some Safety Car race changing events,and we witness a beautiful race,certainly this track permits everything I have written here and if the conditions don't remain normal we may see a different winner,otherwise as I said in normal conditions Max is going to have an easy win again.

I go with my recomendation 120mbtc for me and thanks for my big generosity i left 3 mbtc for you guys! I see a good deal for alls!




 

Talking seriously im gonna think a good one and after that i comment it.


About the qualy..... nothing new below the sun sadly...

But think about this worse is being the CEO of Alpine right now 

[casperBGD]

saw it late to push Bearman lower in the standings, so have to go with what picked earlier
exact position for Bearman (if he end-up in top10) would get less than 2 EBP points that could lost due to changed positions

he was on 11, so possible to see him within top10 on the race

just to notice, this season will be boring as hell, there is simply no doubt who will win it, and we didn't properly started yet

[coinlocket$]

Bearman did a nice qualify day.

He was only 1/10 behind Hamilton, who was the 10th.
Tomorrow will be harder for him, for the 1st time in his carrier he will need to manage tier degradation.

In the minor formulas it is a smaller problem but in F1 it is the main problem during the races.

Until the start of qualifying session you have a chance to make changes on your pole position winner. After it starts you can only make changes for the main race positions and fastest lap.    But don't forget that you will lose your EBP points if you make changes on your predictions after the qualifying session starts.  


Sainz couldn't take part in FP3 and qualifying session due to having appendectomy. We won't see him at the weekend unfortunately.    I don't have much knowledge about the reserve driver Bearman. He did his best and finished in 11th place. I wonder what he will do in the race tomorrow.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It was a really boring race honestly... There wasn't a proper rivalry among most of the drivers. We only watched some overtake attempts in mid places. Verstappen won the race very easily as always. I thought Leclerc would be able to create some competition against Perez but he was much slower than him. I'm happy to put him in third place for my podium.  

I think Bearman did a good job for his first ever Formula 1 race. The 18-year-old driver managed to take seventh place. I thought he would finish a couple of positions lower.  

[CLS63]

I have to admit that the Saudi Arabia GP was a quite boring race. Verstappen-Perez-Leclerc took the first 3 positions as it was expected.Bearman was voted for the driver of the day. Even though some players in the pool expected a podium from him I think being 7th was a quite successful result for him.





There are exactly 3 people sharing the yellow cap this week: Spack17, cryptofrka and famososMuertos. Congratulations on winning the yellow cap by 18 points.Besides Slissy won the SA GP prediction contest. Congrats to him as well.
