As a curious fact, there is not always a full participation in the predictions of the Prediction Contest, because of 23 active users in the Pool, not all are always in the participation field, for example darxiaomi breaks the odds because of 15 Exclusive F1 Prediction Contest, it has not participated in all of them.

Pool people, just asking ahead of Practice. I've been betting on F1 quite a lot this season, probably more than in my entire life -- mainly because I was bored out of my mind in the off-season for football. I'm getting on a nervous winning streak picking odd markets like Race Leaders and Podium finishes -- happy to listen to any recommendations from actual professionals here

Hahaha yeah man, seems like you dont see my post.

Like i said before in my first post, Globant was the main companie behind the move, and now its oficial and with this......... is open the second phase of the deal.....

And your post was not far above mine, right above me actually, I didn't see it heh. Something to cheer for is better than nothing to cheer for. Happy for you!

If the weather is normal and shiny which has been the case for at least these last 7-8 years in Monza during the race and qualifying sessions you cannot really go wrong with a McLaren pole position and a McLaren win as they simply are the car to beat now though the odds will not be good enough in them being a race winner while in qualifying the odds are always good as you have two drivers doing a fast lap. Honestly I have not bet much on F1 but the very few times I have done during this season I have managed to win, I have placed another type of bet and I love head 2 head ones, the odds are relatively good and good duels happen all the time. If you guys remember the last 15 laps of last year race between Sainz and Leclerc it is the best illustration of this type of bet where Sainz won it and the odd was 2 against 1.4 of Leclerc, so yeah in F1 plenty of options to choose for betting.

[slaman29]

Wau wau nice statistics @famososMuertos I'm happy to be in this list now after the last race, actually it ended that I lost my freebets but if I woulda won, it would also have paid me all my entrance fees this year!

The prediction contests are crazy opportunities, I really try to remember to enter them but with so many pools sometimes you do forget. Luckily jeremypwr has many reminders all over the ANN and Discussion Threads

Guess who I gonna support this weekend in Italy. Not Norris, Not Max

Thank you! Like you said, not a drop of rain now, hot as can be, so I put in my bet. Limited markets (only 3!) for Practice sessions and the degenerate in me whispered so badly to go big on a McLaren winner too for FP1, but I stayed my hand and went the conservative route of a Norris Top 3 at 15/10.

Actually followed it a little on Twitter and they're already saying it could be the most-watched practice session. Argentina in for Williams, and an Italian dreamboy in for Russell (not sure what they're thinking but hey, gotta please Monza fans, right?).

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Super decent start for my countryman!

Really nice to see him not crashing. Lets see tomorrow what he can do in th qualy.

Aside of that like i forwarded now Williams also announce the partnership with MercadoLibre.


About the top..... i Dont know what my picks are gonna be. McClaren and Ferrari are very solid but Verstappen..... still here.


EDIT: In superbru still Logan Sargeant 

[notblox1]

Look at at the face of George Russell after he saw Kimi Antonelli crashing his car during the first practice
Mechanics had to fix the car and he was racing in second practice, but this could affect his performance in qualification.
Here is a video of young Antonelli crashing after just 10 minutes in Monza: https://youtu.be/7Mv7jKALA5s

It is still him there yeah. If it doesn't change until qualifying then we would just consider him as Colapinto.

Oh, I didn't know there was a crash in FP1. I only read about Toto Wolff being satisfied with the data Antonelli has had. In FP2, Russell finished in 6th place by the way. There is still a lot of time until qualifying so I believe his car would be ready.

Ferrari looks really ambitious this weekend. They have brought big upgrades and they are here to win something. Maybe a Ferrari pole this time? It is possible considering Ferrari took pole here in the last 2 years.

My congratulations are very sincere for that Freebet you got, and maybe it sounds cliché but it is healthy for the Pool to see everyone making a profit, hopefully we will all get something at the end of the Pool, anyway!! we will have to check Darbit's car or put a suspension on it.

mmmH it's really easy, hence to win this great prize Ocon, second place Zhou, and for third place, let me see the FP3 and I'll let you know...

Impressive qualifying from McLaren and catastrophic qualifying from Redbull, if that is not enough Max has in front of him,two Ferraris and two Mercedes cars to make the race tomorrow much more interesting than it usually is. For a change I am starting in the pool with 3 points in the bag already, something I missed in the 2-3 last races as I believed more than I should in Verstappen, in this track learn the lesson after seeing McLaren dominance last week, in here it was even more powerful as a dominance and as such under normal racing conditions I don't see any threat to McLaren race than McLaren itself  .

[CLS63]

I decided to go for some different picks as I need to take some risks to rise in the standings by a few positions. However Leclerc disappointed me in the qualifying session.    He was only able to finish at the 4th place. He complained about the car a lot after the end of the session as well. He says the car doesn't turn at all. It is the same situation for Verstappen which led him to finish at the 7th position. Do you expect Verstappen to climb to podium tomorrow?

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Im in the same line, i changed Verstappen for pole just before the qualyfication start and select Leclerc hoping he find a super lap with new tyres and in home but ende up being a new dissapointed qualy for Ferrari. Super job again by McClaren and also a very good job made by Mercedes.


And yes..... im gonna comment about Colapinto, what a shame that last stint, i think he really can go into Q2 after having a super FP3.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I knew I could trust Norris once again. He did it and took the pole with a wonderful lap.    Piastri's performance was also great of course. He is really great at keeping up with Norris. I believe McLaren has the best duo among the top teams now.

I thought about giving Leclerc a chance for the pole also by the way. I'm not going to lie but I'm glad for not making such mistake.    He was way below the expectations because of having issues with his car.

I was impressed by Russell's taking 3rd place. After Antonelli crashed his car we were curious what was going to happen. But it looks like things are good for now.

This time I didn't had any doubts about Norris. And now it's difficult to see who can stop him from winning race. He only should improve reaction time on start - he already missed start in some previous races. But I guess that now he will have less pressure when there is no Max near to him. Can't remember when Red Bull had such poor qualifying last time.
Antonelli crash happened yesterday, so Mercedes had enough time to repair Russell's car. It's good that it didn't happened on FP3. BTW, today it was confirmed officially that he will race for Mercedes next season. Will be interesting to follow, there is lot of hype around this kid. And coincidence or not, it was confirmed when another man named Kimi visiting GP - legendary Kimi Raikkonen .

The race is a different thing and in this track all teams has a lot of data from previous years, I mean from the last previous years as that means having the same regulations as of know in F1. Based on those regulations I think that any team including Redbull can make changes to their race setup and if they want a gamble they can do so, they can opt for starting with the hard tires making a different strategy to anyone else in the top ten, in this track tire degradation from previous years has been felt although last race we saw improvements in this regard, so yeah plenty of options for Redbull tomorrow in order to make them make at least Max go to the podium as I think that is the maximum they can achieve, McLaren are simply on another planet now regarding performance.

[notblox1]

Total domination of team McLaren in today F1 qualifications with Norris winning pole position and Piastri second place.
I listened to Verstappen speaking after qualifications and he seemed concerned, I dont think they have time to make corrections and they are to slow to win races with this cars.
I think McLaren is wining this race and constrictor title in the end of the season, unless some big changes happen soon.

[goodpunt]

Really excited for the race especially the start will Norris mess up his start again?
I'm certain that Verstappen won't reach podium.

It is hard to be certain, but I know that the track has hard overtakes and might be Determined with a good strategy who is the winner. I do hope that it is an entertaining race.

[boltz]

Grandissimo from Leclerc and Ferrari! I'm so freaking happy right now for them and finally a strategy that can be worth of Ferrari.

This season is insane so far! At this point , I'm not even certain that RedBull can keep their 2nd position in Constructor Championship because Ferrari is looking faster than them in this 2nd part of the season and if RedBull won't find anything soon and if Perez will still not help his team with points , then Ferrari will finish 2nd for sure and McLaren will be champions.
