Well, at least I managed not to be too bad this round. But again, my Ferrari-style strategy… it seemed like the right thing to do, but it didn’t work. Gasly was suddenly a zero out there, Bortoleto was nowhere to be seen, and Bearman was out again cow-cow…
The best thing about it is that, with the last-minute schedule change, I had time to watch some of the race, and it was quite entertaining… the best part was seeing Messi in a Formula 1 car.

hello, didn't expect this after I missed Japan.

thanks, guys, for kind words

Well that is one great thing about this pool, the prize in real money instead of the frebet guarantee you money on the pocket despite what you did or do.

I know that miss round is gonna hurt you in the long run but with this kind of prize per round is always a good thing to play for.

Yes, is super painfull when you made the correct call but somehow it didnt work, we cant control everything.

So much stars in the paddock in Miami, also Nadal waving the final flag.

I don't want to be annoying so please tell me how long I should wait.

And yeah it is cool thing about this pool. Tbf I even didn't expect to win it, when I saw first notification my first thought was that it is some general information 😄

I'm right there with you bro trusting Ferrari was not a good idea at all (when is it ever right now) I'll know for next time to tread carefully around them cause I just don't get it with them it's like they don't want to win or something it's quite odd actually but nothing for me to worry about i'll just go with my gut next time.

[Koal-84]

About all of us like me who had Leclerc, what a painfull result guys, we lose it all in the last lap, just incredible we were doing a magnificent job and at the start of the race our risky pick was paying off very well but all ended up in a disaster.

Yeah, what happened to me in the last lap? That shouldn't normally happen, but LecLerc should know that himself.

I did really poorly in terms of points again in this race; I hope I have better luck in the next one. But respect and congratulations to Antonelli, he's had a very strong season so far, even though there have only been three races due to the cancellations.

I cant give you a clear timeframe since i only give your adress to the sponsor so they can made the payment, ussually they do it fast after receiving it but i cant guarantee anything at all.

He destroy us, and for us it could be much better if he retires from the race than ending up losing so many positions in track and plus the penalty.

But well until that particular last lap he was doing an amazing job. Lets see if we can "trust" him again in the future.

Oh, hey, haha good job B1g4udge (I tried typing this name manually and gave up but made a chore of copy-pasting it on phone haha). I actually didn't think of F1 for days until reading today that they might actually... give up on electric and go back to their beloved V8s? In 2030 haha.

But yeah, seems general consensus that the race excitement returned once they limited electric in Miami (don't ask me for details, I'm lost). Nostalgia or practicality, hm?

The more they limit helping systems the better for performance and enjoyability of the races, like Senna used to say the more automatic you make things the more you remove from the driver ability to deliver performance and make it a better way to drive because any driver is unique. This last race McLaren were not smart enough to pit before Mercedes as they could have won their first race of the 2026 season but maybe Canada will be their first victory.

hahahaha im not gonna lie i was there, when you have to make the proper tag you cant made a mistake in the write of the username so i also ended up with a clasic copy/paste.


About the race, yeah the excitement comeback at least in the start and the finish of the race. I have some high hopes for Canada in that long straight, i hope not to see so many vibrations in the cars with that problem like Aston Martin.

Formula 1 teams and championship bosses have agreed in principle to fast-track hardware changes to the power units for 2027 in a bid to resolve problems with the current rules.The idea is to ditch the notional 50/50 power split between the internal combustion engine and electrical elements and move to a ration that is much closer to 60/40.

The hope is that the increased power from the engine, and reduced demands on the battery, will allow the cars to run more flat-out and not be so energy-starved in certain places.A key improvement too will be in making the cars more intuitive for the drivers, with the compromises resulting from a lack of battery power having triggered some unintended consequences and complications throughout the season so far.

They always have to do this kind of adjustement in mid season thinking about in the next season so i dont know how much relevant this talks really are and how much they are hyped by the press, but in this case i feel like they are very important since we are having some clear issues with this new rules and the new rules were real big changes compared to other seasons so this problems and needed adjustments are gonna happen.

[Jinetics1111]

Well guys after that tease of Miami another wait but it's only next week but still seems far from now but can't wait nonetheless, I messed up last round so need a reprieve when Montreal starts I won't be too critical this time around cause that's what caused me to lose and the damn 2nd guessing which I hate but anyways it is what it is.

Yes after a super long break this mid break it feels like also a long one, we cant recover the pace, is like we are having a few laps and our engineer call us to the pit box, they fix something and send us again to the track and a lap later again call us to the pit box, come on man we cant warm our tyres doing this. 

I hope to gain some pace when the races start to develop normally.

Bro I couldn't agree more with you man as soon as we get on the track yellow flag, safety car, wash and repeat. But it is building major anticipation for the continuation of the races to come so there's that aspect but yeah can't get no pace at all sitting here with cold tyres, but soon enough will be back on track once again.

Just to follow the path of the conversation we can all say this is the last friday without a proper free practice, and since there we are now packing all the things for the travel to the next track in Canada.

About the race itself i expect to see some upgrades in some of the teams since most of them made a step forward in Miami and for sure with all that data they can also readjust something more for this next race and have an extra. I really hope so because if that happen we can have a super good race.

Yup we are gonna see a lot of improvements I think and adjustments just can't wait till its consistent again cause the stop and go and break in between is killing me as soon as the action starts it stops, but yeah I can see Mclaren gaining more pace and Ferrari well.....I just don't know about them maybe they find another way to fumble the bag again.

[darxiaomi]

Guys after a MEDIUM-LONG wait we are back to our contest. So fire your engines again and start to make your selections.

For this new round we have two changes, first of all RedBull comes back to the second tier and is a great news since now we are gonna have to select between Max or the McClaren dirvers.

And second i add the new tiebreak, which is the ammount of points collected by Mercedes in the GP only counts the main race. I added it to the OP and is our second tiebreak.

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

[famososMuertos]

I don't want to have any last-minute oversights, so I’m sending this in today. On another note, the tie-breaker criterion—as you’ve updated it—sounds interesting +1; perhaps it could be changed for every race  (team). My first three picks were easy, but the last one is tough to choose. I hope it works out—that’s where the points to win the round are. Although, it looks like none of them (Pick 4) might actually score any points. GL/All

[Strongkored]

It turns out that very few have submitted answers, perhaps because the schedule is still about a week away.
Submit my answer today.
The answer to the tiebreaker is completely clueless, as to whether the numbers entered are reasonable or either too small or too high.

[slaman29]

Sent answers in. Sadly to say I've to tell you all I don't know how to research this question at all. I tried several things and all don't work so I'm just picking things random now

I guess you really need to be crazy to figure out the way MADNESS works either in football or in F1 ya?
