Seems like in this second race , we know less than the previous one seeing the Free Practice.
Free Practice 1 was a no sense, but in Free Practice 2 we have a better panorama.
Mercedes stills behind Ferrari and Red Bull (quite obvius) you cant do so much in only one week and far away from home.

yeah, it is really great to have Sportsbet here as sponsor
they are sponsoring all pools on Bitcointalk, and that is real community spirit from them
did not counted, but I think that I received most free-bets from Sportsbet, comparing to other bookies, and got few shirts as well, in competitions, thanks once more for being here

Prizes for the pool we be finalized once all participants have paid the entry fee (by April 9).

We are continuing to get really good news. The entry fee for the pool is only 1 mbtc now. And 0.5 mbtc free bet is given by Sportsbet to each participant at the beginning already. Besides, when we think that there are 23 races in the season, an amount like 23 mbtc free bet is really generous. I'd like to thank you on behalf of me for all your contributions to the forum.
Great news,let me check if I can access Sportsbet,I used to a couple of years ago but let's see now and let's see if the free bet is there.On another note,we are exactly in the racing weekend,I should probably lock my picks before qualifying tomorrow but one thing is a sure bet here as this is really a dangerous track,last year we had a lot of red flags,so betting on one would be a nice idea together betting with Safety Car to be right in the field as another sure bet because of the track characteristics.Difficult to predict the winner but I believe is going to be Redbull if they have solved their problems,top speed is the most important thing here.

I think this years its a three way race to the constructor championship.
In cars now i think we have
1. Ferrari
2. Red Bull
3. Mercedes
I think in mid season we can have Mercedes close to the first spot in car.
But the main thing here for the constructor championship its the pilots, so for me the fight its gonna be between Mercedes and Ferrari. Checo Perez its a good pilot but not so good to fight for the championship.

I only lock the picks because in the first race and only with the test anything can happen, so the +2 points are a sure.
In F1 any can pass so its so tought to know who can be in the podium or also in the TOP 10 asides of the favorites , but this years seem to be funny, because everyone knows the last year the podium check was so easy, LW, MV, VB.
You will have both Ferraris in most tracks at the podium if other teams do not improve and improving with the new regulations is not as easy as it seem as you have to change a lot of things and try a lot of different setups.For the moment the Ferraris look ahead of the competition with Redbull being there having the top speed for the moment somewhat more than Ferrari but we saw this wasn't enough in Bahrain,maybe this will change in Saudi Arabia.
Edit:Payment for the pool just sent.

Very interesting race and this sets the tone for the rest of how the season will go since it is number 1 of 23.
I got 8 points so not to bad as buwaytress thinks it is, well because it is just the start so we don't know how the cars have changed since last season and how they will perform on the track. Even if we had testing and practice sessions.
The drivers have to get use to their new cars & the new rules that were put in place this year.
If you who are in the pool don't know about the Sportsbet thread for F1 then come and put your thoughts on there and we can learn from those who have much more experience in the sport of F1 racing:

I have checked the topic, it is good for me to learn some things about this game regarding cars and drivers. The first run was good with a google search I found some info that put me in fourth place with 9 points. I made my selections for the Jeddah course and I don't know if I will make points or not

It is because I didn't lock the picks before qualifying started that I am also one to not get the EBP bonus points from Superbru?Now I feel a bit better that I just have 5 points,otherwise I would have 7 which is not that bad of a result.I am again not planning any locking of my picks after only seeing the test in Saudi Arabia as that is a completely different track and most probably Redbull will be the winners there because they had the fastest engine in the straights and that track looks a lot fitted for them,to early to say though.

Really good race fight between Leclerc and Verstappen, this show how competitive its this Ferrari 2022 car.
Mercedes its more close that expected, i know all of us expect the last years of Mercedes like 1 second ahead and alone making 1/2
I put Leclerc in the Pole and for Win, but i dont make a bet.

It has been a really interesting weekend. By the DNFs of both Red Bull drivers, Hamilton got the chance to finish the race on podium. But Mercedes cars don't seem to be promising for the rest of the season. The leaderboard for this week is like this. Even though it has been a difficult weekend, I'm surprised to have the yellow cap by only 11 points. Maybe these not much high points can be an advantage for the people who want to join the pool next week. 
@buwaytress Thank you. Yes, eight points for this week is really good. Congrats.
PS: I didn't forget to place a bet on Leclerc to win again on Sportsbet.

I decided to not join the pool in the end. I really love our pools but I have absolutely no interest in F1. If I joined the pool than I would start watching F1 as well and it is so mind numbing boring Also my wife would kill me since only thing I watch on TV is sports anyway and one more could be too much for our marriage

Also my wife would kill me since only thing I watch on TV is sports anyway and one more could be too much for our marriage my thoughts were similar, but decided to give it a try, since I want to get my kid to Hungaroring this season, and this is probably the best way to get interest, to even know who-is-who, since last races that I have watched involved Schumacher (but not this one that is currently competing) and Damon Hill
nevertheless, seven points, it is not big difference to leader, but seems that points will be pretty equal here, and one-two bonus points could make all the difference
March 20, 2022, 02:21:08 PM
Yeah no problem Trofo and trust me, I totally get you. Real life takes precedence 100% -- as much as I want to watch Liverpool every game, it's a distant priority with those present with me in life 
Well done to OP for taking 1st place! I did 8 points. That's respectable, right? Woe me for not actually backing Tsunoda to get top 10!

The bulls moving out of the first places and a pathetic in the true meaning of the word of my beloved McLaren team makes me fall down in the very last place of the pool but I am confident I will come back.I never thought that Leclerc would have been able to win the race,he has not been consistent during his time with Ferrari and only has won 2 races in 3 or 4 years.I think no matter how good Ferrari may have looked this very first race it was the problems of Verstappen and all Redbull that made this win look so easy.I am pretty sure that in the upcoming track next weekend which is a super fast track Ferrari is going to struggle against Redbull,the straight speed of Redbull was better than Ferrari in this race.

Honestly, I'd abide by any kind of rules that the community will determine. But as there is no other idea about this topic, we can base on the scoring system on Superbru directly.

Just use what Superbru offers you and make it easier for you. Never tried it for F1 but judging from the other sports they are doing the job quite well and we as pool captains can't do it better for sure. It is much easier for you that way and you don't have to think about tie breakers and what not. Just write in the rules that Superbru ranking when the season finishes is base for payouts.
Have fun guys and catch you in one of the pools for "normal people sports"
I definitely understand you about not joining the pool. Blood is thicker than water. I'm more comfortable about this kind of things as I'm single now.
Thank you for all your advices too. I also find it logical to use the Superbru system not to cause any confusion. Besides, you can always share your opinion about this topic. I already got some help from your pools in the end.

did not watch the practice yesterday, but hardly expected to see LeClerc on pole position
nevertheless, we will see how will he manage to hold it on the race, Max is on for the race, and Sainz as well, Hamilton can easily convert his fifth
@CLS63 sent you payment transaction, let's play the long season
