Congrats to B1g4udge for setting a new record in F1 Madness competition with 85 points 
And congrats to Mafia cryptofrka for setting another negative record of only 5 points in one round 
I finished in lower mid table and that is bellow my expectation, so I need to set new record in next round.

Hahahaha i cant believe the round of him, it was one of the worst ever in term of distance/gap between him and the top, in only one round b1g4 open to him a 80 points diference just crazy.

In my case i made a "decent" ammount of points but i still made shit rounds and i still always manage to have a driver who ends with a dnf, is incredible i think i dont have a single race with a no dnf between my picks.



Now we travel to Brazil, one of the best circuits. Lets go.

Yeah, a 5-point lead over Leclerc is nothing, he’ll lose it in a single race. Imagine being the favourite going into the season, only to end up losing to a young teammate who wins the title in a dominant manner and only finishing 5th. After something like this, you might as well end your career  

Yeah, it's his 5th full season with Mercedes, he entered season as main favorite and what we got - championship title decided probably by the end of summer. It's really humilitating. Kinda reminds me story of Ricciardo when he even decided to leave Red Bull to avoid getting humiliated by teenager Verstappen. After this his career only went backwards.
Also, fall of Piastri fall is also worth to mention. Last season at one point it looked that his title is inevitable, but what happened in remaining part of season. And this year we only see shadow of him.

[darxiaomi]

Well guys i know is super early in the week but as always here is the next race thanks to having another raceweek, the third one in a row. Now we go to the better track in the calendar, this time is not gonna define anything but still ones of the best races.

His season is gonna be remembered as one of the worst ever made by a top driver in a dominant team, sadly for him.

Im pretty sure he is on all time low in selfteem in this moment, and for me is pretty crazy to see him below Hamilton Verstappen and now only 5 points ahead of Leclerc.

ROUND 20 BRAZIL GP [DEADLINE START OF QUALY]
:://:::

Absolutely!!! just a few minor things left to iron out, but that’s it. As for what’s next: does he have that special "madness" factor? Maybe, maybe not. He’s only 20 years old; you’d think he might struggle with managing his emotions, but he’s already proven he can handle it. What he’s achieved is incredible. His story is just beginning, but I suspect that by the time he reaches 30 and retires (!?), he’ll have set a series of records that will be impossible to match.

Anyway, since the real focus right now is our "madness" league; wouldn't it be great if Fernando Tornello, Juan Manuel "Cochito" López, and Juan Fossaroli provided commentary for it? They’re the stars of Formula 1 sports broadcasting in Latin America. There are others on DAZN, too; and Juan Pablo Montoya, whom I enjoy listening to from time to time, is also an official F1 commentator.

Anyway, here’s an animated graphic for you; an improved version of one I just finished:

^{Ah, yes, yes!! there are still a few rounds left to add to the animated chart...
I’m with the Aston Martin team, so you know how things go over there.
I’ll post them here as soon as I have all the rounds;
provided, of course, that Alonso gives the green light; he’s been a bit grumpy lately.}

[swogerino]

Why only 4 rounds in the chart  . It would be a much better chart to include all the races so far or am I having problems in my mobile that I only see round 1 to 4 updating here. As for this Sao Paulo track at Interlagos it is always one of the best tracks despite no title being decided here I think all the drivers are here to race so a beautiful Sunday afternoon, or night in Europe time awaits us. I doubt Antonelli would break records though as we saw he just managed in the last races to get the title, a very different behavior from the likes of Verstappen for example.

Hahaha thanks for your words as always fM.

Well maybe we can make the voices using AI.

Seems like you are putting some time in the charts , in this one it shows me between the top 10 at the very start of the season and now im rockbottom so is better like it is to show only 4 rounds, in round 4 everyone can see how i dissapear from the top.


Just in case, for this race everyone who pick Esteban Ocon is gonna receive again his replacement, which this time is Camara.

[buwaytress]

Poor Ocon, does he deserve to go missing this late in the season? Come on Hammie, show us some special love now, and stop arguing with your team and put this down. No more pressure, but 2nd place is nice too, no?

P.S. Slam, so nice to see you start so high and disappear in that gif from fM. Love it.

P.P.S. Someone put 43 as total points. I wonder who..?

[darxiaomi]

Hi guys we are just in the middle of the second free practice but i dont know if i can tag you again so im gonna make the last tag for everyone who didnt submit yet for this round. I hope everyone submit and dont miss the round since we are just a few race from the end of the season.

Every single point could be important.

Remember if you choose Ocon youa re choosin Camara since he is his replacement.

What a joke is F1 nowadays, the rain almost stopped and now can dry up quick yet these are pussies as they don't race like they used to in older days in super heavy rain. This sport looks a joke nowadays and don't tell me is dangerous as now the technology has evolved a lot, in the eighties and nineties those were wonderful races as drivers contanding in heavy rain, now these guys want the track super dry, no rainy race from a lot of years now, I mean true full wet race.

[famososMuertos]

What a joke is F1 nowadays, the rain almost stopped :://:::

Absolutely!!  And while the new regulations, battery usage, and so on are already well-trodden topics, we are entering an era where electric motors will become the norm. So, perhaps in the future, all F1 circuits might even be covered (roofed over)... it might sound like a joke (the idea of ​​covered circuits) but if you had told someone back in the 80s that races would one day be held at night... they surely would have laughed.

[notblox1]

This heavy rain in Sao Paolo is going to mess up all plans teams had before this weekend, so we can expect to see many surprise results this weekend.
I looked ad weather prognosis for Sunday and they are giving high percentage of rain again, it can be from 40% to 86%.
They are making mistakes sometimes, so lets wait and see what happens, but now better tactics and tires can win the race.

I partially agree with you, but this time when it was still raining, there was way too much standing water - full wet tyres spray so much water that makes no visibilty. In past cars had a bit different aeroydanimcs which made less spray. Also, security standards were much lover.
Anyway, it was worth to wait for so long - we got very interesting qualification. Q1 was in really extreme conditions, in Q2 conditions improved and drivers switched to inters. But on Q3 rain intensified again and drivers got just 1 attempt in ok conditions. Norris got a bit unexpected pole. Not sure why Russel was so made for not winning it - he have penalty anyway.
Looks that forecast shows rain all day long on Sunday - it doesn't sounds good.

Yeah at least they started the session, I thought they were going to do like some years ago, delayed qualification in the same day of the race but the directors had guts this time, the first Q1 happened even in worse condition that that red flag happened. I am very surprised to see a lot of people do not have any clue who gets penalties as all those people choosing Verstappen for Tier 2 apparently didn't follow the news that he will start last on the grid tomorrow, I choose Norris on Tier 2 exactly because of this fact but tomorrow because of rain things can go either way although in rain we saw people crash and a lot during qualification, so expect a good wet race tomorrow.

I fully agree with you and we already had discused this a few time ago, this new full pussy regulations about safety first being pushed so much is a complete no sense.

In fact in the spanish broadcast one of the commentators is an ex driver who was multichampion in a lot of categories and he start to say "stop producing the full wet tyre" because if they are not gonna use it why we have that compound? and he is right, every time we need to use the full wet the marshalls decide to stop the qualy race or whatever is a complete joke.

And im ok with safety first but if we go down more in this path we are gonna end reducing the speed of the cars because of "safety".



Well the race is just a few hours from the start, lets go!

Well I think it is big congrats to mv1986 for finding 4 out of 4 correctly during this race while most other people struggled with their choices and Mercedes team I must say gifted the points to the people choosing Russell, nicely done anyway. A lot of people found only one pick right so that should give others who found 2 or more quite a difference on points  Luckily quite a lot of people in front of me got just one or no one correct while I got two and time to pick up those places lost in the Mexico grand prix thanks to Ferrari stupidity there. This race strange enough has opened quite a lot in the 6-10 prize spots in here, let's see after the updates what happens.

Ya but he didn't score that many points even if he go them "right" I saw you say something about max and why everyone picked him well he got around 37 points thats why we picked him it only made sense to actually with the conditions and starting from the back of the grid but anyways I digress, cheers.

Then I completely do not get the points system as I thought the guy who finds them 4 correctly the tiers should be the guy with the most points, if that is not the case then I wonder how I am still in prize points though based on what you say I should be down dramatically now that finding the Tiers correctly do not automatically gives you the full points. Whatever then, congrats to whoever the winner maybe as most people got Verstappen so most probably one of them should be the winning here.

Edit: I finally got it, it means who climb the most positions awarded most points, fun fact I have been not knowing this fact all season long  .

Lol, this is indeed a funny fact if you didn't know it all the time. Proves that the competition couldn't be any fairer, could it? You even won two rounds without having an idea what to do then

I like the fact that you admitted you really didn't know the rules for 20 rounds! 20! So no more luck needed now that you know the rules, let expertise speak for itself
