Thanks for the nudge, F1 is too far down my list of to-dos that if you don't tag, I'm forgetting. Already missed one round, so I'll try to make sure I at least put in picks (like now). Max getting a better car, you say guys?

No research, as I really don't know what to ask or search for anyway... so if you guys lose to me, you should be ashamed.

Yeah it's crazy to see Mad Max in the 3rd tier there should be some changes I heard Mclaren have brand new improved car, and their saying they expect everybody else to as well so that is a good sign so far. But we just gotta wait till the weekend and see how they improved, I'll be up on any news this week for sure see if I can get any edges on the competition.

Don't know about you guys, but for me predicting something for upcoming race looks more or less same like before new season. Yes, we had 3 races already, but it was so long time ago that it feels like it was some kind ofdemo version of 2026. Now we don't know how teams spent more than month in their bases and how their upgrades is going to work.
Miami is far from being my favorite track but  I already can't wait to see cars racing finally.

I don't know I quite like it although at times my picks area all over the place and sometimes it's hard to narrow down who to pick depending on tier, I remember with Superbru it was much more easier where this one is a little more tricky and have to take big risks especially on the lower tiers that's where you gotta be on point IMO once you can find that key guy that people are overlooking, but thats why I love it finding those guys that nobody is watching.

[famososMuertos]

I'm not going to wait for second tags (I’m already on the starting grid...) I’m going to play this round like I’ve got a crystal ball. I need some magic in Miami to start climbing the standings and see if I can take on the Free Bet. In any case, that feeling that everything starts again is incredible. I’ve even seen some enthusiasm at Aston Martin—they’re very, very excited

I feel like this is another restart after such a long break, for sure everybody has new cars new batteries, new training and new enthusiasm.

So I absolutely feel the same as @LTU, this is like no different, the format feels way new, but the approach is kinda the same, and the feeling right now is as if the first few races was like a taster of things.

Lets gooooo!!

[Jinetics1111]

With the break finished we get to see who improved and who didn't cause you're right it could be the same set of teams in the standings like how it started but thats juts the fun of it all, we could be right mostly wrong . But it makes for good fun on the weekends right? I'll be paying extra attention to the tier 3 and 4 guys mostly cause thats where the magic is for at least so we shall see.

[darxiaomi]

Hahahaha yes i feel like most of us feel, is like not a restart is more like a Start.

The only diference with the previous start it is we know have a clear view about how shit some teams are right now like the RedBull one which in the first start of the season we expect to see them at least close to the front and that doesnt happen at all.

Or Aston Martin which now we really know they are in F2 more than in F1. 

[notblox1]

Dont tell me we are finally back with Formula One?  
I almost forgot I joined this competition, and I dont like long breaks like this, but maybe F1 teams made some improvements on their cars.
Miami is already hot in this time of the year but lets see how is going to enjoy it most in the end of the weekend  with champagne.

[slaman29]

OP I think I submitted another response because I could not remember if I did already, just take the second submission and delete first if possible? TY!!

Yeah I ignored Tier 1 and 2 and picked random sorta just spending time thinking a bit about the others. I pretended Max wasn't in any of the Tiers

Or Aston Martin which now we really know they are in F2 more than in F1. 

Poor guys if they see us talk about them like this they'll be very sad

Blame Trump for the long break, he will probably cause another long break or rather a short season later on I believe with the calendar ending with 2 more countries in that region with his personal war going on.

Yes this weekend we are racing again and this time it is in a good time for European viewers I believe as the race will be in night time or as approaching night time as a minimum. The teams had enough time to improve their cars as I am sure they were not resting but trying all the possible data they got and were fully working on them. I hope many teams have improved their ranking because that would be great for a more intensified battle to win races, many teams to be involved.

[Koal-84]

After the long break, Formula 1 is finally getting underway again. Fortunately, the submission deadline is based on the actual qualifying session, which according to European time takes place late on Saturday evening. This means there is still enough time to use the sprint qualifying as a useful reference beforehand.

However, I read earlier that the weather forecast for Miami is expected to be very poor, and that there may be storms or even possible postponements or schedule changes?

Not really ignoring but I get what you mean those tiers are just as important but for obvious reasons the lower ones are key, I think Max will bounce back the guy is too passionate about racing that I can't see him faltering for a whole season I mean anything is possible but in his spare time he's still racing, I think he will bounce back eventually.

Ok man no problem, i already highlight it so i dont forget, (i didnt delete it yet just because i dont want to have problems with the sheet  )

About Aston Martin is no problem they can send to us some tickets or BTC gift so we can change our opinion 


About Verstappen, is good for the competition to see him in the third tier because he could be a high quality bait, if most of us pick him and he cant make anything a lot of people is gonna be hook on him and with low points and other users can make profit from it.

[notblox1]

I am posting my prediction early this time because I am not sure what time exactly race is starting and I will be traveling this weekend.
McLaren was great in last two seasons so lets see if they can make a comeback and finish above Mercedes drivers.

However, I read earlier that the weather forecast for Miami is expected to be very poor, and that there may be storms or even possible postponements or schedule changes?

No there wont be any postponement of the race unless they have some crazy weather storm or tornado.
I checked it myself and I see it is going to be hot with some rain, but nothing concerning.

[Jinetics1111]

Tomorrow we finally get to see some action I know it's only FP1 and Sprint quali's but still the wait has been too long, and now we get to see how teams adjusted and what not. I expect to see a little rust but hey after such a lay off it's to be expected just gotta scope out and see if I see anything that stands out before I make my picks which I usually do after the sprint in this case, can't wait let's go!!!!!!!

[Koal-84]

It would be great if the weather holds up and the race can go ahead as planned.

In any case, I’m looking forward to today’s results and to seeing how the break has affected the balance of power, or if everything is back to normal and Mercedes is once again the dominant force.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Guys just in case anyone is sleeping or is not aware , tomorrow we have the comeback with the Miamia GP race, so make your picks.

Just tagging again the people who didnt submit (i know most of us are gonna wait for the sprint race to have more data). So dont take this tag so seriously.

Im gonna try to tag again tomorrow a few hours before the race but i cant guarantee anything so take your considerations.

As always let me know if something is not working properly.

[Jinetics1111]

It's almost sprint qualifying time I watched the FP1 but we all know how that goes so not paying too much attention there maybe just a little bit, but the sprint qualifying and then sprint will give me more info but I've noticed a few things that are on my radar but we shall see. Overall things seem the same for the most part so nothing to hurt my head over.

Didn't watched practice session as I was bussy, but already preparing to watch sprint qualifying. Probably after this session I'm going to submit my picks - need to get a bit more data.
Looked at weather forecast and there is rain with thunder on Sunday. In Florida and ome other states there is rule that every outdoor sport must be stopped for at least 30 minutes since last thunder or lightning. So, it might be long day/night in Miami.

[swogerino]

I almost forgot and it is great that I thought let me check the forum before I go to sleep. I saw the free practice how it ended and I saw Verstappen coming back strongly this time so Tier 3 I think it is an easy choice, for top Tier 1 I choose Leclerc also based on free practice and also because he was seen happy with his wife in Miami beach days before the GP starts. For second Tier 2 I choose Oscar Piastri although not fully convinced.
