I've submitted my picks. So far, it looks like Mercedes is dominating, followed by McLaren. Ferrari apparently can't keep up on the fast straights, Hamilton crashed at the end, and Ferrari now has a lot of work to do before qualifying.

Well guys this is gonna be my last tag for this round since i dont know if i can be nearby to the computer in the weekend, so take care about not missing the round.

Damn, I'm first on the list but too busy to submit. I'm probably going to regret not checking my phone. Anyway, good luck to you guys!

Kimi on pole, Hammy crashed during the last FP, what else can go wrong? I swear it doesn't matter what I pick I know the race hasn't started yet but this lead up leaves me with little confidence overall but anything can happen and who knows maybe some drama unfolds and something spectacular happens and goes in my favour but so far not feeling it.

Mercedes, eh? Now watch them crash out

Hahahah that are nice memories. About your last statement yes that is super crazy for me the best example of that is Tom Cruise we all think he is super tall or big and he is really small, or maybe no really small but not what we tough he was, and you know when expectation dont match with reality the contrast is bigger.

Yeah generally actors are usually really short and yeah you'd be surprised for real the camera tricks make them seem bigger for sure and yes Tom Cruise is a short guy in real life, I one time met the guy from Pulp Fiction Ving Rhames and I was taller then him he just stocky with muscle but I always imagined he was this huge dude movie magic is crazy for real.

I just checked Ving and he's... 6 foot. That's all right. 10 cm taller than our mean Schumacher. And same height as Kubica whom LTU_btc says is tall. But yeah, built up tall guys end up looking shorter... that's our brain compensating haha.

That Mountain actor in GoT, though, proper giant. And he is as slow as I'd imagine a buff 2m guy to be.

The mountain is definitely a beast dude lifts some major weight indeed, and as far as speed goes I would get away on feet from him fast as hell I can imagine he'd be slow, just don't let him catch you is all.

Damn, Kimi winning pole by 0.3 seconds, what you can do against this guy. Verstappen best lap time was made with a boost from Hadjar and still far away from getting pole. Can't wait to see race tomorrow.
BTW, worth to mention Bortoleto getting into Top 10 with Audi.

EDIT: Looks like Norris will get grid penalty for this race for upgrades.

Now I'm wishing I had more faith in this guy, penalty is fine for him, he will make all the gains.

We can expect a lot more of this grid penalties in the future for sure. But lets see how all this evolves.

I kinda gave up trying to understand and keep up honestly, because it didn't help my results anyway lol

Nothing. Nobody can do anything :/ I need someone else to win tho for my BSFL.

[Jinetics1111]

I gotta say Hadjar was really impressive today after having to start from the back of the pack, I like the way he races though and wears his emotions on his sleeve but boy oh boy did he race good, as for the results of the race overall it's whatever same ol song, I just don't know what else to do I'm guessing that VAR switch I did was no good should've just kept Norris but it's whatever.

[LTU_btc]

As usual, we had really good race in Spa. Kimi again increased his lead with a win, while Russel didn't finished after crash. Hamilton ended on podium despite penalty and such things leaves me mixed feelinfgs. You ended someone's race and got just 5 seconds penalty which don't affect your results that much.
Next race is less than after week in Hungaroring and then we will go into summer break.

[swogerino]

I just limited the damage by finding only the first two Tiers correctly this time as Lawson showed that in tracks where a driver can make a difference he cannot. Also made a huge mistake by not believing in Bortoleto and that did cost me a lot of points so congratulations to whoever won this weekly prize from this race.

On a side not Russell said that "one after another after another" referring to bad luck though next weekend can already be a reset.

I went with Russel in this pool and also i went with him to win in the BSFL so it was double pain when he was out in the first lap of the race, but well this is how Formula 1 is and we all know in motorsport this can happen.

The race was a good one and is good to see Ferrari pretty close to the Mercedes car, seems like they can at least do something compared with the start of the season.

Later today im gonna grade the round.

In BSFL, I hadn't picked Antonelli, but for some reason I did select him here. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final results of this round.

I honestly don't think I performed too badly, and it definitely could have turned out much worse. The next race is already taking place this weekend in Hungary, which should make things even more interesting. Since it is generally considered a slower circuit, I expect Ferrari to be competitive once again and potentially fight for the victory.

It will be exciting to see how the teams perform and whether Ferrari can take advantage of the track characteristics to challenge at the very front of the field.
