Looks like I am starting as a favorite as I got Russell on first tier and Norris on second one though seeing the track and what the drivers did today most likely tomorrow we are seeing a three stop race because all cars struggled really a lot with any kind of tire they put in during qualifying. For me the best strategy for tomorrow would be starting with soft and going for 2 stops by putting hard tires and trying to maximize the race, though that was always my opinion, I have carried this since old times where McLaren had a larger fuel tank and in the past many times they took advantage of it during the years before 2000 where regulations were different and they even won titles with Hakkinen thanks to such fuel tank.

LEWIS HAMILTON WINS THE BARCELONA-CATALUNYA GRAND PRIX!!! His 1st with Ferrari & no 106 in total .

[LTU_btc]

It's great time to be Ferrari fan again. I'm not Ferrari fan but watching Lewis win today made me smile. I can't remember seing him so emotional. Offcourse, Ferrari got lucky today with VSC, but often in such moments we see them failing, this time it was different. While for Leclerc it's really though time.
Antonelli already overtake Russel when disaster with his car happened, feeling sad for him

[cryptofrka]

Wow, 3 british drivers on the podium. Did it ever happen before that 3 drivers from the same nation achieved it?
I'd guess it was maybe done in the 50's, probably by the Italians, but I can't recall it ever happening in the 30 years or so that I've been following F1.

This hopefully opens the championship a bit. Didn't watch the race, mostly focused on the WC. Worth rewatching?

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Well it seems like for the first time our new tiebreak is gonna be used and if nothing is being changed until tuesday the winner of this round is gonna be slaman beign rewarded by the bold pick of Hamilton. Congratulations for that.

I think yes and for sure they were also brits since they are the only nation across the world who have ton of drivers in F1.


Poor Antonelli this time with his car given up.

[nil_krokodil]

In your Spreadsheet, my amount of points is wrong and Monaco also is wrong amount, can you have a look into it?

[Koal-84]

Congratulations to Hamilton. It’s been a long time since Ferrari and Hamilton made a good decision, something that hasn’t happened very often in recent years.

Unfortunately, I didn’t trust my gut feeling and picked Antonelli in the prediction game, but that’s just how it goes. Hülkenberg ended up dropping out, but we’ll see how the final standings turn out in the prediction game.

[darxiaomi]

Well it seems like now swogerino is gonna be the provisional winner  of this round, but we have to wait since FIA keeps making idiot and late penalties.

In your Spreadsheet, my amount of points is wrong and Monaco also is wrong amount, can you have a look into it?

Hi nil i dont know how to answer to you, i already answer to your claims a few times in the thread and via mp, here im gonna quote again my explanations, maybe you get lost in the thread and didnt read them.

can you please have quick fix for my predictions for the Monaco GP? Current score shows -3 for my score...

Best regards
nil_krokodil

Hi nil, sorry for not answering your message yesterday (i was gonna do it today) but i feel like you are mistaken, you dont have -3 for Monaco GP you ahve - 3 in the Canada GP, for Monaco Gp you have 9 points. And is all correct, point me out if im making a mistake but i dont know why you are mixing the Monaco Gp points with the Canadian one, yesterday when i receive your message i was thinking to myself, i didnt even grade the Monaco gp yet.

Just in case in Canada GP you have -3 since, Russel score 0,Norris 0, Lindbland 0, and Nico takes a -3. So your overall is -3 for that GP

Just in case because maybe that is making trouble to you, the race control sheet is always for the current event i save all the rest from previous races anyways.

the race control sheet is always for the current event i save all the rest from previous races anyways.

I suggest that the Race_Control better be saved in the same page along with ours picks. One sheet --} all data.

[buwaytress]

I'm not going to pretend I have the energy to look into the details of the calculations but for all those wondering about the penalties, really do take a look at OP. I know I like to leave the reading to others haha but yeah, when it comes to points calculations, that's the detail you need to read into on OP or... like I do, trust the darxiaomi

Am I proud I actually finished in the top? Hell, yes.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Just in case and is still provisional, but swogerino please end me your btc adress so i can send to you the reward.



You have to thank the FIA marshals about the Colapinto penaltie since without it the winner of the round was slaman who now ends with empty hands after savor the victory.

Now we face a break again after having a two in a row wekkend with races. Next stop..... Austria

[notblox1]

It was strange to see Hamilton winning in Barcelona, but we finally saw someone taking down Antonelli from the top and podium.
I didnt won most points but I am very happy after looking at last place held by Mafia, he is sinking lower and lower in leaderboard  
We have a break from F1 this weekend, and that means more time for World Cup.

Yes we finally see them losing a race, as far as i see the main problem of Mercedes is maybe his reliability and nothing more after it they have a super dominant car which can only be defeated when some lucky things like safety cars are involved.

About the Hamilton win it was strange to see, it seems like a ton of time since his last victory when before we were so used to see him at the top of the podium.

[Jinetics1111]

Congrats to the winner of the round I stopped watching after Hulk's car died seems to be a theme for the last 2 races but I'm glad Hammy won and congrats to those that picked him good job but yeah it was way overdue for him to get some hardware since joining Ferrari as far as Antonelli goes had a feeling he would't win this race but all in all the season still progresses and on to the next race.

[swogerino]

Yeah that was unexpected for me and I thank darbit for contacting me in Pm to ask my address where to send the reward which I sent him there. This race was beautiful but I don't think that Mercedes executed it well, they were defending from Norris when the more dangerous threat to them clearly was Hamilton and Ferrari. It was a race that again showed what kind of really bad driver this season George Russell is being again overtaken by his team mate.

Thanks mate, i just forwarded you btc adress so you are gonna receive the prize soon if you can when receive announce it here.

About Mercedes and more specific Ruseel i start to see like he is starting to lose some confidence, im the only one seeing that? Or anyone is seeing the same?.

Next stop is Austria the RedBull home track, can we expect a magic race from Max Verstappen to add a little bit more of salt to this season?

[Koal-84]

Congratulations to the winner of this round!

This time I also managed to perform reasonably well.

Has the standings from the Monaco Grand Prix already been updated? Apparently, there might be another change coming, as McLaren and Red Bull have filed an appeal and are now challenging the result. What a complete circus.

[darxiaomi]

Leaderboard has been updated since is wednesday and our deadline for changes is passed. The new leader is jayce who is followed very close by others.

The FIA decissions are year after year worst and worst, they cant do what they do, it was obvius the decission one week later from the events is gonna take more problems than help or fairness.

I dont know when all of this is gonna end.

About your question i setled this in the OP much before.

Note: We are gonna have open the window for changes in penalties from FIA until the tuesday after the race.Any other penaltie aplied after it is not gonna be retroactive.

So for us is not gonna change anything.

You are welcome. I am writing as still I have not received any reward and I just cross checked the Btc address I sent you and it is 100% correct. I am just notifying and if there is any problem from the one who will send the money I completely understand, I just wrote because you said soon and soon has a lot of meanings  .

[cryptofrka]

18.5 total points in the last 2 rounds
I still don't understand how I should be approaching this, I have a feeling it is totally random.
Then again, I just occasionally watch F1 and was always terrible in all F1 forum prediction contests.

Anyway, I'm gonna mix it all in the next round. First I'll select my picks and then I'll change them to something else.
