As always let me know if something is not working properly. Most likely the Redbull engine will prevail again here but we cannot exclude another Baku like qualifying from Mercedes who dominated all the sessions of the qualifying. Last year in the Sprint race we had that famous all McLaren crash and it was massive news because both drivers were fighting for the Championship, if it happens this year nobody will care much. I bet in another Max win here and awesome performance from Redbull though let's wait to see what happens, I never saw rain in this track so far.

Thanks for a real wake-up F1! It’s interesting that for this race, Max is the favorite at average odds of around 2.20, compared to over 3.30 for Kimi; though those odds will surely shift as we get closer to Sunday, or following Saturday’s qualifying session. Anyway, if Kimi wins, it’s not mathematically decisive, I believe it would effectively seal the championship.
Since i dont ussually bet on F1 i didnt see the odds for this race, it is a surprise for me to see that odds for Kimi Antonelli, despite he is not winning the last 2 races i think they are quite high since he still drives a Mercedes which is by far the best car in the grid. Like you said i think the odds are gonna compress and we are gonna end with some similar odds at least between Max verstappen and Kimi Antonelli. Plus Kimi can start to feel the world championship with every race it pass.

Hi guys as i said in my other contest, since we had this php issue and update in the forum im gonna tag again people for this round because someone could be lost after a day without the forum and didnt know where he is stand. The two week break is finally over, and the action continues in Texas. However, I am going to wait for Friday's practice session before making my predictions. In recent years, Red Bull and Ferrari have been particularly strong at this circuit, which makes it difficult for me to decide on my picks. I am still weighing up the different possibilities and want to take a closer look, before committing to my choices. Since I have fallen behind in the standings lately, it is important for me to make smart decisions and hopefully recover some valuable points over the upcoming race weekend.

Yes i think most of us is gonna wait for more data and is gonna submit at least after the sprint qualy and in this particular race maybe after the sprint race, at least in my specific case is one of the few races in which the qualy and race are at 4/5 pm, so i m gonna be super ready to make my picks before the deadline comes, in most of the races the qualy is very early in the morning and maybe im not gonna be close to make the picks.
Is any team working on some upgrades for this race?

I sent my predictions just now and it took me only few seconds to do it, so if I win this round that is going to be huge miracle  My position on leaderboard demotivated me do spend more time doing researching, but when I look at cryptofrka Mafia position I suddenly get a big smile on my face. United States Grand Prix should be interesting race but I probably wont have time to watch it this time because I will be away from home. Can someone take down mighty jayce designer from the top?

Don't worry boys nothing to fear in this race. Spoke to some Croatian stewards and they assured me the cigarettes I sent over will guarantee me supremacy. So don't sweat and don't stress. Just give in to the fates and wait for uncle bubu at the podium with your contraband champagne.
Invites for the after party will arrives shortly.

For us in Europe it is easy to wait before the official qualifying and I will also watch every free practice before deciding to put my picks in tomorrow. This track last time around was very boring and linear where Verstappen dominated from start to finish so I don't expect it to be better this time around and this is exactly why watching every free practice makes a lot of sense for this specific circuit. We are near the end as just one month and 2 weeks before end of the season.

Yes i always think about it, and how much of you can wait until the very last moment to make the picks and be super sure and with all the data, in my case most of the times i have to made the decission in the friday night to not have to rush in the saturday morning, i can make the effort of wake up early and dedicate more time to it, but in this last season im not doing it. In the past maybe. About the race, i dont like this circuit so much i only like the second straight and the posterior turns of it where we can see some action.

For me, the qualifying will begin exactly at midnight. I would say it's a very dangerous time because if you don't make a forecast in advance, then Saturday evening, family-football-betting-beer can seriously adjust your plans  As I understand it, Verstappen is the favorite again, but Kimi is second, a rather difficult choice. I don't know yet who to give preference to, theoretically Kimi should choose reliability and calmly roll to the title, it doesn't matter 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place, the main thing is to reach the finish line.

Honestly, given the current state of things, I think the first and second picks are usually straightforward; or rather, they can be determined based on the experience gained from how the season has unfolded so far. As for the fifth and (especially) the sixth picks, I’d say it’s necessary to watch the practice sessions; though, I suppose it also depends on the specific Grand Prix. In any case, for this race, I’m making my third and fourth picks with my fingers crossed. On another note, for those of us on this side of the world, the race times are quite convenient;this applies to the events in the United States (Austin), Mexico, Brazil (São Paulo), and Las Vegas.

Ah, who needs to follow the news with updates such as these, eh? I'm like you, probably. Some important money riding on Kimi at great odds, and there's almost no need to follow any longer as it would require his teammate to win several races, while the Italian needs to lose horrifically. Not challenging the fates, naturally, just for once enjoying a bit of "stability".

Not challenging the fates, naturally, just for once enjoying a bit of "stability". Well I know most people will lose a lot of points by going for Ferrari drivers in the first tier in tomorrow race so I stayed with the Mercedes as I was very careful to watch FP3 and I saw the way Mercedes used the battery means they have not shown their true colors here in FP3 while Ferrari has pushed it to the max. For other tiers I guess most probably everyone will be on the same page and I doubt we will see some guys doing a whole lot more points than the others I think. I mean I am happy that both Ferrari drivers performed well and we need someone to show competition to Mercedes or Max and surely this is not McLaren who don't know what they are doing so far in this track.

This is the last call for this race so take it. No more need to wait for anything. Crazy to see Ferrari doing this good in all the free practice, lets see if they can end up doing a great qualy and a great race which i really doubt, but the chances are there.

Wow I just check people picks and so so many exact same choices, it is going to be fun and most likely it is going to be decided by the tie breaker for this round in the race of tonight. I thought most people would have picked Ferrari yet most people have gotten back to Mercedes. Ferrari are world Champions when it comes to Friday or any free practices as even yesterday in Practice 3 they were doing great then I don't know what happens to them when they got in the real official qualifying, we saw a yelling of Leclerc to his engineer in team radio saying how come we lose so much in the third sector, first time I hear him so pissed. I guess he doesn't leave Ferrari now for 50 millions of Euro rather than love.

The race ended yesterday and it was like most of the races of this season, Antonelli now it seems like is gonna be champion in the next race, he only need to score two points i think so is not gonna be even a task for him driving this mercedes. About the results for this race im gonna take a little bit more of time to anounce our provisional winner since im sick right now and i can barely see a screen and i dont want to make mistake.

Even if Kimi wouldn't arrive to remaining races, he still would become champion as Russel needs perfect result. When you consider how young he is and that's just his second season in F1, it's crazy to see such dominace. VSC caused by Bottas didn't let Hamilton to reach podium. He needed only few laps to reach Verstappen. In general, not bad race for Ferrari. Leclerc showed great skills racing with Vertappen in 1st lap and in the end of race. Wish you to get well soon!

Ferrari did pretty well in practice, but in the race they couldn't quite keep up with Antonelli (unfortunately, since I bet on Leclerc), so I'm already curious to see what the result will be, even though I bet on Leclerc and not on Antonelli. Mexico is already this week, and we still have 5 races left in total.

Don't worry, focus on your recovery. Given that there are three consecutive weeks of scheduled, you will also need to prepare for the next two weeks, surely that no one will feel bothered by the delay in the announcement of the results
