Don't forget to make your predictions as the qualifying session is going to be at an early time tomorrow. The Suzuka track is a quite suitable track for Red Bull cars. Besides Red Bull is coming here with a new update package. However Red Bull didn't have enough chance to try the car because of the weather conditions in the second practice session.

That is true,however in the first practice session they dominated the session and I believe they to have spare power to use as I am sure no one goes all out in the first Friday practice session.This means that most likely there will be a one-two finish from Redbull team if rain is not here or accidents do not happen otherwise those are the only race altering events excluding another mechanical failure to the Redbull that can make the race interesting.The only good thing is that Sainz I don't know what happened to him but is driving brilliantly and it is right there in the tail of the Redbull and maybe with those race altering events Ferrari can manage another win making it back to back.

Thanks for reminding us.
I already sent my predictions early because I need those sweet Early Bru Points and I am hoping to finally move up the leaderboard  
RedBull is always a favorite to win but I think Ferrari is now closer to compete with than from all other teams.
Good luck everyone in this round.

[swogerino]

There has been the round with the most points and I was lucky to retain first place again after 4 races,I think judging how things are going I will not be able to retain it for long enough and I should be happy if I manage to finish in a paying position in the end of the season pool.

I am in tears for the simple reason that my record of 20 points was shattered to aces in just the 4th race of the season and not by just one guy but two guys  ,big congrats to them and it looks like this season is going to be tough in here.

One of the rare times I actually could watch F1 live, I saw a bit of the end while on a bus, friend has good connection, and I have to say, I was kinda bored.

It's not even about the double Red Bull finish, it's just about everything going to expectations.

Look at our table, the lowest score is higher than all my other rounds. Yellow Cap is 20 points, I got 16. I even put my picks long before qualifying.

Boring

That is the problem,you should not put your predictions before watching all the free practice sessions,the three of them and the third one is just a couple of hours before the official qualifying,this gives you great hints as how mostly the line up will be and which team is most likely to dominate the race or teams.

Personally I never expect so many persons to do that well during such race yet it is exactly in such races that the difference is made,people for example who made 15-16 points here,are 4-5 points difference lost compared to the ones who did better and this demoralize them.I am sure though that there is plenty of room for recovery as we have another 20 races to go and many seasons ago 19-20 races were all season long.

Those truly are some hot smoking prices out here fellas  .I mean I am leading the pack so far after 4 races but I am absolutely sure that most likely I won't end up first in this tournament although I think I have high chances of making it in the top 4 judging from what is happening in the pool.

Nevertheless even the two last places get the entry fee back which is cool beside the fun and possibility to win a free bet every race week from the yellow cap.I am still in tears that the 3 mBTC prize is out of my reach after my record was just surpassed in today race in Japan  .

Congrats to Slissy who is in top form and he is kicking asses in all competitions!
He got first place in this week Japan Grand Prix Superbru competition and he jumped in first place of BSFL Division 1  
I had 17.5 points and I thought this was not bad until I saw eight players with more points than me  
Red Bull and Verstappen domination continues as expected.

Thanks! It's the first time I get over 20 points 😁  I've had a very good round so let it continue like that 😁

Well done to goodpunt also for getting over 20 points this round😁

This season I have started to follow the practice rounds before I make any choice.. This round it was between Stroll and Tsunoda, but after I saw the practice rounds I was more sure of Tsunoda to be top 10. luckily it went my way😁

Team Slissy is ready for the Chinese Grand Prix😁

Congrats to Slissy and goodpunt for winning the Yellow Cap for the Japanese GP @ Superbru

Thanks -  to win so many yellow caps like last week feels actually very good 

Well done to goodpunt also for getting over 20 points this round😁

Thanks congrats of course to you too
I actually mixed up Norris and Russell again like I always do and felt so sick after realising it but fortunately Russell was able to get past Piastri.
And thankfully Russell didn't get a penalty for an earlier incident with Piastri.
That said Mercedes disappoints me very much!

At the beginning I was also satisfied with my 15 points, but when I saw the table with two participants with a total of 20.5 points I almost couldn't believe it, congratulations to Slissy and hsh1.

Very impressive performance, I hope things go better for me at the next Grand Prix and I can catch up a bit.

Hahaha same here, when i see my 14.5 said to myself....."well not bad at all, lets see...." and when i see people over 20 points i know i was fully fucked up.

Great prize pool honestly.    The first place prize is just something else really. I wish I started the season better than this.    The season is still long though as it has been only 4 races until now.

As for the Japanese GP I'm so regretful for not changing the places of Sainz - Leclerc. First I thought of adding Sainz to 3rd place but later I wanted to take a risk by thinking most people would add Sainz too. However Leclerc's qualifying performance was really bad and even his high effort during the race wasn't enough.  

If the investigation for the Russell - Piastri incident during last laps of the race ended up with Russell's being penalized for 5 seconds I would collect extra 1.5 points.

I believe Russell deserved a penalty there: https://youtu.be/Z3-IulIyBtU?si=KOobIQQddiJdlerr&t=424 . Piastri was ahead of Russell at the turn so Russell must have left the space...

Thank you for good tip, but you didnt say how we can watch this free practices?
Qualifications and practice runs are very important part of winning points but main race is totally different and it can have crashes, more malfunctions and different tactics.
My goal is to perform better than last season and win something in the end.

Well the race was at 2AM in my country so you know.... saturday night im not gonna stay at home to see a race from this season....

You need to make some sacrifices to win more points in this competition
F1 Prize pool looks amazing and worth fighting for, so we better get ready for Chinese Grand Prix.

[CLS63]

I'm glad that you liked the prize pool. I was sure that Red Bull drivers would in top 2 positions this week. Because Suzuka is one of tracks on which Red Bull are the strongest. The thing that caused me to fall behind this week was my predicting the positions of Leclerc and Sainz wrong.

Thankfully we have plenty of races ahead of us. Therefore I will have a lot of opportunities to make up for this.

To me Stroll and the amateur mechanics of Aston Martin made me lose that 20.5 points yet I am very happy with 19.5 points as a consolation prize and I am still leading although during the last three races I have lost 1 point each,if I continue with this rhythm in the end of the season I would be 20 points down the leader so I hope to improve especially when European races start because I don't think there is much to improve in China,most likely Redbull will dominate again there and the other teams will be following just like they did in Japan.I say so because in Europe we see the first upgrade kits to many teams being tested and deployed so hopefully it changes something.

[cryptofrka]

I did well, but a lot of you did better. Was 2nd, am now 7th, still a long season to go.
I made a mistake in trusting Ferrari too much, but I simply cannot put Perez ahead of Sainz. Sainz is 4 times better driver.

There's always a balance what to do after the qualifiers. It was known after that RB will dominate, but to change it and lose 2 points is always a risk.
