From a team perspective, letting Norris win would have been the right call - after all, he's got a theoretical chance of pushing Verstappen for the title. Piastri does not, so I was really surprised by the call.

I'm putting this guy as my all for the pick. Winner, fastest, pole. Then saw that he did actually top practice, and he is the bookie favoured, so turns out I'm not really making any kind of smart call anyway heh.

Do want Max to be pushed all the way so Norris winning is really the best outcome for the sport.

F1 is a strange animal really, I'm on a good betting roll and don't want it to end.

McLaren has really made a big progress recently as you have also seen. Do you think they can become the champions this season? Huh

Because while there are still 11 races left it has started to be more possible. The current point difference is 51 which can easily be closed. You know Perez's situation this season. He is a big failure and Verstappen isn't as dominant as last season to make Red Bull champions by himself now.

It is definitely possible unless redbull sacks Perez and takes another driver for the rest of the season which is highly likely i think

Perez can't seem to find his groove back on and I know it has a lot to do with the car not being the fastest anymore but since Verstappen is Verstappen, most people think that Perez just has no skills at all because of their big difference

Anyway there are three possible options for redbull right now: Ricciardo, Tsunoda, or Lawson

Whoever they put in the second seat of redbull, I am pretty sure Mclaren has the wcc in the bag with both of their drivers consistently driving well

What I see as a definite thing here is McLaren winning again.That is the only variable I don't see changing during this weekend.Can't wait for Sunday for this track,then off to vacation we go until end of August.

I am not so sure about that, Ferrari has a good record on Spa-Francorchamps and they can always come back with another win.
Winning in F1 Practices doesnt mean that some team will do good in qualifications and in main race.
But I like how F1 has become much more interesting after some mistakes from team Red Bull and Verstappen.

Eleven more Grand Prix left in this season and Belgian famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit is next for this weekend.
Can anyone confirm weather prognosis for next days and during the weekend for Stavelot, Liege?
I see some rain and humidity for Friday and Saturday, but Sunday should be dry and sunny.

That is without a doubt the best circuit of the calendar and the fact that the weather will be sunny on Sunday is great here,in such track rain only ruins things instead of making the race more interesting.Verstappen is having a 10 place grid penalty and this means to be thought well guys regarding the way we should place our predictions carefully taking this into considerations and also Tsunoda will start last,so most likely Tsunoda to be excluded from points zone here.

Hehe thanks guy and thanks CLS for name me and give me credit about the rpize distribution i totally forget about that, but is very nice to see everyone can still fight for some piece of cake.

When you're going to leave predictions, have in mind that Verstappen will get 10 place penalty for power unit change, as they already exceeded limit:

Spa is probably best track for such penalty because overtaking here is relatively easy, but considering current Red Bull shape, you can't be sure about them.

Thanks for this info.

In other things guys i want to share and invite all of us to this new contest i open.

As you are the captain of this pool, can you tell me how many top palyers are winning rewards in the end of season?

The prize pool nil_krokodil quoted above is completely correct. I should have actually added it to the OP. I'm going to edit the OP tonight to help everyone see it clearly.

I really liked this prize distribution very much and I guess that it was darxiaomi's idea to make it like this. I would like to thank him once again for that. If I don't make it to much higher places later on, I would like to get that 2 mbtc as a consolation prize at least. Tongue

Yes, please let me see clearly how much I'm NOT going to win lol.

I personally like less prize spots, bigger prizes, but I know majority of people want something to play for, and myself I understand the feeling of giving up when it's too far from top 3, so yes maybe top 5 or more is the way to proceed with all such pools.

I can't believe am throwing money away every f1 lol

One race can change everything and Verstappen is not so much dominant anymore as the season progresses.

Indeed, Verstappen and RedBull seem to have lost its big advantage and even Perez is only collecting very few points every race, it will be difficult for RedBull to stay in front of McLaren if advantages will continue to shift towards McLaren.

After this race weekend I gained 1 position but still I'm out of top 10. But being only 1 point away from there still makes me keep focused.

You are just one place above me in leaderboard.
There is still a big difference from Slissy and other top players but I am never giving up.

We are so lucky that we have a race this week as well. Belgian Grand Prix is going to be the next one. Verstappen is getting angrier and more ambitious every time. But the fact is that McLaren has the quickest car currently.

To be honest I'm enjoying this season because of not seeing any Verstappen domination. Even though he is still leading driver standings, he can't get easy wins anymore.

I not comment here but.... Come on Verstappen what a piece of shit you are, what an Ego he has, when i think Hamilton was the ultimate ego driving this man comes and push the limits even more. He thinks he has all the power to push the limits, they need to start punish him right now before this lead to even worse behavior.

And i know every single driver has a big Ego, for that theya re there, but this..... is so much.

Thank you guys all. I'm delighted with my performance on this race week.

This result helped me climb by 3 places in the leaderboard. I could have collected 0.5 more if Russell didn't pit as an extra but still it is great. Now we have the same points with swogerino and hsh1. This helped me reach 2nd place. There are still 11 more race weeks and I'm only 2 points behind the leader Slissy. The season is getting more exciting by every week.

Congratulations to Spack on winning the first place in Hungary with 14 points.
I was not far behind with 13 points but I have to say that win from Piastri was a big surprise for me.
I saw Verstappen was not happy at all with bad results from his team in Hungary.

If the pool stays like this even after this last race in this weekend before the 1 month break I think it is the most competitive pool ever,just less than 5 points in top 8 places and I think that everyone has equal chances now that into the equation are also bullshit team orders which we have never seen before and they can impact our predictions really hard,be it for the best or for the worse,I found myself hit hard for the worse in this first call of McLaren hopefully they don't do it again or the fight in between both drivers of the team would become huge like we had crashes before,Vettel vs Webber and Hamilton vs Rosberg.

I missed yellow cap only by 0.5 points. Sad

Congrats Spack17 on that yellow cap! By the way if Norris won the race I guess things would be worse for me so I have no problem with McLaren's call there. Tongue

However I'm thinking that McLaren's decision didn't make sense. Norris is fighting for a title in the end. Yeah, maybe the point difference with Verstappen is still wide but it isn't impossible as of now.

I believe the fastest car on the grid is McLaren at the moment. Red Bull is far away from those strong days. We are in a new race week now. It is on Spa-Francorchamps track and after this one we are going to take a break of a month.

Nice McLaren drama in the end, I think the team shouldn't have meddled and just pitted and let both drivers race, they'd both have been happy. Now you have two possibly unhappy drivers. But this season has to be something of a record for number of different champions and maiden wins (that's 3 already if I recall correctly?). And we still have many races to go!

Nah, Piastri is without a win and he wouldn't have been happy with 'let them race' method.
I'm all for it, don't get me wrong, and I consider F1 to be primarily an individual sport and secondly a team one. However, the team decided to pit Norris first to protect the team from Hamilton, it was clearly told to both drivers that the order would have to be restored.

From a team perspective, letting Norris win would have been the right call - after all, he's got a theoretical chance of pushing Verstappen for the title. Piastri does not, so I was really surprised by the call.
