Well looks like Hamilton was on another level today and the fact that he ended up 3rd was only to him making mistakes in the last part of his final lap in Q3, still good to see Hamilton on such a positive form, also Leclerc not that bad at all. Max though is on another world of his own as he is dominating everything, from Sprint pole, Sprint win and lastly today Qualifying pole. Tomorrow I doubt any team had the pace from what I have seen today to stop Redbull, the track is very difficult as we saw in a very boring sprint race, maybe first lap will be important as most probably a lot of times the Safety Car comes here. Well let's see what happen and very glad I didn't choose Bortoleto, maybe miracle happens tomorrow for him but highly doubt that.

If Max would had such car for whole or at least most part of the season, probably we would see much more interesting fight for champion title.
Few words about sprint - I can't remember any other race with such conditions where big part of track was completely dry and only some sections were wet. Russel makes such rookie mistake - we all know how slippy these white lines is after getting wet. Norris crashing with Piastri also doesn't looks solid for Wordl Champion. Anyway, such chaos made sprint race interesting.
I see that tomorrow we also can get wet race. It would be interesting, I just hope that rain won't be too strong and we won't see red flag.

Tomorrow most likely rain but why F1 has become such pussy I don't know. In my Instagram feed it showed up the race of Adelaide 1991 in Australia where cars far less secure than these today were racing under a true heavy rain and the race was interrupted after 14 laps of such heavy heavy rain. Where are the blue full wet tires now, I haven't seen this season at all, I think FIA need to dramatically step up their game, every race there is rain and they delay or do some stupid red flag shit they lose fans, of course no loyal ones like us but people who are watching for the first time or non regular ones. Formula 1 has come down a lot when it come to wet racing, it was the norm just like 25 or so years ago to race even in super wet conditions, drivers back then sure were not as pussy as the actual ones.

Yeah, I have similar feelings. Like I posted week ago - if you will ever feel useless, remember that F1 have blue rain tyres. I can't even remember when it was last time when we had proper race on rain. Best what we are getting now - race resumed after it stopped raining and they race on drying trying.
F1 is soft nowadays indeed. I understand everything, there is no need to risk lives like they used to do 30-40 ago. But sometimes it feels that there is too much precaution.

After full of action Bahrain GP in Malaysia, Singapore GP was quite boring. Somehow it was hard to believe that Verstappen haven't won in Singpore before. BTW, it was 250th race start in F1 for Max.
When it comes to Ferrari failures, it's difficult to surprise me, but this time they managed to do it. Hamilton decided that he don't need free pit stop during VSC, and it cost him a lot.
Meanwhile Antonelli mathematically can become champion already in Austin.

Many people or at least 3 got the four tiers correct from what I saw in the standings and congrats to the one who has better found the exact points of the Mercedes team which acts as a tie breaker here. Personally I never believed in Ferrari during all the races so I got for Antonelli once again yet he is being very clever and mature and definitely is thinking more about the Championship which he can win already next race, if not next race then the next one for sure judging by the performance of his team mate. Except first tier I also found 3 correctly myself and I think I have passed at least 2 places in the standings of the pool, well 1 for sure I think. I look forward to a great race in Austin as in there you can overtake much more easily then the Singapore GP today which was exactly the definition of boring.

Congratulations to jayce!
Still, I think Russell robbed me of winning this round - if he had scored just few more points, the tiebreak would have been decided in my favor, eh. I don't get how he can be so bad. Anyway at least Antonelli's position as the season winner remains completely secure, my outright bets are gaining momentum, hehe. A 102-point lead with six races remaining will likely secure the title for Kimi in just a couple of races. The situation in our tournament standings is much more tense.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Congratulations top jayce again which is our provisional winner of this round thanks to the low tierbreak number choosed by him.

It was a decent race but nothing really fun to follow, the good think was the win of Verstappen again and the chase of Leclerc who in some moments seems to have a chance, Ferrari was strong in this race and Mercedes was not at their best and that give us a rest in this mercedes dominancy.


In my case again for this round and like in every round for this season is incredible how i always have the DNF drivers between my selections, is a curse over me its seems.

[notblox1]

This was amazing result for Magic Jayce with another win in a row! And his is now holding the second place in leaderboard!! 
Not that great result for me, but at least I am above mafia overall, and I was in mid table in previous round.
Honestly, I have to admit that I sent my predictions in 10 seconds, I didnt even look at the odds or anything else

[jayce]

I have to say, SG GP is one of the most boring races in F1 I have to say. The only thing can convince me to watch it live on the track is what bands perform.

Congratulations to jayce!

Thanks KTC! It was a tight race between us, I was so sure Russell would mess up again, but didnt expect Kimi able to finish in better position than his starting grid. Kimi deserves to win the F1 this season obviously, it's just matter of time your outright bet settled as a win.

Thanks dar, well apparently I cant win both of yellow cap and BSFL game at the same time, so congrats for your winning on our duel haha. Good luck mate!

Thanks mate, well it's obvious that you are a true fan of Alonso which you keep putting him in your predictions. Thanks to him, you won the round 12th amazingly.

I bought PS4 for the kid, as well as xbox, but that was more for me to play the entire Halo and GoW series with him on co-op (I myself only played the first two of each so the newer versions were also adventures for me, can't say I didn't enjoy them except with him he wanted to play normal as we got stuck so long heh).

If I'm reincarnated -- I hope the end is the end for me though -- I should like to not be something that is preyed upon easily =p A stone or stick that isn't boring, yes!

You are being as a great dad and great gentleman. Of course you wont be either of stick or stone. You are just steps away to be a buddha ❤️

My 'random picks' mojo is fully and officially gone - I'm averaging 20 points across the last 4 rounds and am now among the worst members of the competition.
There are 6 more races to go and the gap is huge - only some totally crazy picks can save me.

I guess it's time for the real Hail Marys. Linblad to win, anyone?

Lindblad to win now that takes a lot of guts to be put into practice, he is a good driver but no more than most average F1 drivers we actually have racing, so he has nothing special or exceptional skills compared to these average drivers. The car he drives also does not permit doing miracles, even in these last races with rain no exceptional skill was shown by him or the car he drives. So I agree to go drastic in the choices but let's be more pragmatic.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Well seems like nothing is gonna change so jayce let me know if you want to use the same adress or if not just send me a new one so you can receive the prize for winning the round.

Thanks dar, well apparently I cant win both of yellow cap and BSFL game at the same time, so congrats for your winning on our duel haha. Good luck mate!

Talking about that, i was not expecting to win in that way in the BSFL, i was expecting a much closer game between us, anyways i take 3 points and you take a money prize here, fair enough! 



Now we have a little break, a weekend without race.

You deserved the BSFL win, and also won the freebet🔥 The previous addy still works

[Koal-84]

Now we have a little break, a weekend without race.

It was a mediocre round for me in the last Formula 1 Grand Prix, but at least it was better than the previous one where I scored only 26 points. Unfortunately, it was still not enough to make up significant ground on the leaders. There is a short break this week, and I hope that next time I can score more points and reduce the gap to my competition.

Oh, you're 110 points off 10th place, maybe you should look at something like Lindblad winning two or three races in a row to really get back into the game 
I decided to check on my outrights and noticed that the bookmakers are disrespecting Russell:

Antonelli, Andrea Kimi - 1.01

Verstappen, Max - 26.00

Russell, George - 101.00

He has more points and a better car, but he is ranked worse than Verstappen, hahaha.
I see in the news that Formula 1 is going to return to Africa (Rwanda Grand Prix), I don’t even know, the spectators probably don’t care, but it’s hardly what the locals dream about first and foremost.

Verstappen actually has the best engine and am really surprised to see Ford do so well in their first F1 year in this new generation of cars. It may not look so but if you compared the ghost car in the qualifying Leclerc did much better in the corners while in the straights the Ford engine completely blacked out the Ferrari engine.

We have a break but things will mostly not change a lot from now on as most teams will not bring further upgrades and are completely focusing on next year car.

I was joking a bit, I can't even pick him to win.
What I meant to say is that I need something truly outrageous to happen and be the one that actually selects it if I have any hope of climbing the ranks.

That being said - I really have nothing to lose. Expect the unexpected

Yes, you're right, Ford has been successfully updated, I didn't really pay attention to it since I consider this season already "closed". But even now Russell has a 17-point lead over Verstappen, which is very significant for the remaining 6 races, plus it is unclear whether all 6 races will take place or not - the war in the Middle East could reduce their number. Regardless of whether Russell holds onto second place or not, this season will be a massive failure for him.

I wonder what the maximum number of points is that can be earned in a single Grand Prix? Ideally, a Tier 4 driver would win after starting from last place. It is unlikely we will see anything like that.
