I told you guys Ferrari has a good chance to do something in Spa-Francorchamps and Leclerc won the first place in qualifications and pole position.
One of my picks was also on Hamilton and I placed a nice bet on him in Sportsbet, he is starting from third place and I think he can win tomorrow.
It is going to be interesting to see what Verstappen can do starting from 11th place, but maybe Perez saves the day for team Red Bull.

Anyway there are three possible options for redbull right now: Ricciardo, Tsunoda, or Lawson
Tsunoda is trying to make Red Bull realize his existence recently. He says he is the best among the possible candidates for the seat there. But I don't know what Red Bull thinks about it for now.
By the way Leclerc has taken the pole position. I was never expecting this to happen to be honest.
But track conditions were wet mostly and after it started to dry it was really difficult to predict who would win pole position. Perez was also close to win it but Leclerc got past him by a very small gap. McLaren drivers couldn't keep a good pace in qualifying. There is no rain expected for tomorrow as far as I can see. They can still climb to top.

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.
I don't know if it was because of Verstappen or becaue of the new power unit or because of the rain that he was on another planet making the fastest lap half second faster than the second guy.Sure McLaren did well as a car but their drivers unfortunately both fail to give their maximum in the rain as they are not experienced drivers in the rain like Hamilton or Verstappen.I had Norris as the top guy and keeping him although in here starting from the 4th place is no big problem considering how fast this track is and how many DRS zones are in this track,it should be a good one,one thing I am sure,it is not going to be anyone getting more than 20 points from the starting line up in here.

McLaren has really made a big progress recently as you have also seen. Do you think they can become the champions this season? 
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 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.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.
Thanks for this info.
In other things guys i want to share and invite all of us to this new contest i open.
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:
https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13184366/formula-1-red-bulls-max-verstappen-set-for-10-place-grid-penalty-at-belgian-grand-prix-after-exceeding-engine-allowance
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.

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. 
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.

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. 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.
