Thanks for the notification  Smiley

Congratulations to darxioami and goodpunt on winning a free bet on this challenging week.

Thanks just got really lucky here.

Congrats hsh1 for winning first place in superbru!

Thanks I was indeed very lucky.

Not sure if he had any technical problems but Perez was very underwhelming.
He couldn't even get past the two McLarens...

Was good to see Verstappen out, it leads to more interesting races. Ferraris did well and took what was offered, but I do feel it will once again be RB's season.
Honda engine used in RB Racing is very reliable but humans can make mistakes and Verstappen is not perfect.
I said this few days ago and than they had first mechanical retirement since 2022  Tongue
This was a Ferrari day but they need to win a lot more races if they want to be in serious competition for title.
Leclerc is now in sandwich between Verstappen and Perez with 47 points  Grin

Congrats hsh1 for winning first place in superbru!
I was 4th and this is my best result of the season, and I will try to continue posting my predictions early in future.

The problem with the Redbulls, apart from the failure they had today, seems to be the earlier degradation of the tyres compared to the Ferrari.
Especially with the softer tyres.

Maybe they can adapt quickly and will win all the next races but in some races we could have close battles like today, even without the brake failure it would have been a tight race.
The thing that attracted my attention is that Max could not get ahead of carlos after the start and was also passed by Carlos. Seems like Redbull dominance is coming to an end. It was a track where ferrari could close the gap with Redbull, and when perez got a grid penalty, there was hope. Carlos got up very clean and comfortable. Max could not open the drs distance this time. I think from the very beginning that teams like redbull are against the understanding of this sport, they are not producers. They are not rooted and they have no culture.

I highly doubt it would have been,I am sure Max with the hard tires would have driven much but much better than Perez who is happy with those poor and mediocre performances during all his late years in Redbull,the guy is never having a real go at fighting against Verstappen.

Nevertheless it would have been perfect to see a battle between the Ferraris and Redbulls without that mechanical failure of Verstappen,there is only one good thing out of this race and that is now 4 drivers are just 11 points difference from each other,something was not the case in the previous season.

It was interesting to see a guy retire the previous race and put him in first place after appendicitis, someone noticed how Sainz got out of the car.

On another topic, there are specific reasons for leaving our F1 pool out of G&R; MMA, MLB,  I understand the football ones.

We have 2 Asian races next - Verstappen was convincing in Japan last season but China will be interesting - it's returning after a 5-year pause.

The China track in theory should favor Redbull as it is a very good track for the best aerodynamics in a F1 car if the layout has not changed.In Japan also Redbull is going to be the favorite again yet this mechanical failure is a big red flag to Redbull to start thinking of how to fix these things in order to not happen again as you can be doing great in most races but let's suppose 4 races you have a problem like this one and boom that is directly -100 points off the standings so in order for Redbull to fully maximize the best car they have they need to fix reliability issues which were shown in Australia today morning.

I don't regret that I wake up so early to watch race. Verstappen issue looked strange because such things rarely happens in early phase of race. I'm wondering did problems with breaks already started when Sainz overtake him because it looked so easy. And after that there was no questions about today's winner.

I regret to wake up so early to watch the race,at the beginning I thought now that Verstappen is out of the race we are going to see some real racing and competition but Ferrari with Sainz looked like another Redbull dominating the race,so for me nothing changed and we should not blame Verstappen for winning so many races,it is not his fault,like it was not Sainz fault that executed a perfect race in Melbourne today early in the morning.

Man, this is sports. You can have one guy completely satisfied with the way things turned out, a surprise retirement by the supreme F1 driver hoping to equal a record 10th consecutive. Then you have another guy who completely feels dissatisfied that different winners didn't change the aesthetics of F1.

I'm with swogerino here, I think. It does matter that the winners should be different, but it matters more that winners are pushed to their limits by rivals. To see a different winner, but only because the usual suspect is not racing, and to see the same domination, is a poor, poor spectacle.

City winning Prem League over and over got less boring because they got pushed to the very limits by Liverpool and now Arsenal. Doesn't matter they won 6 of the last 7, it's still brilliant to watch because it's so close.

It is difficult to wake up for sure tomorrow,while the race in the last years have been in 7 AM tomorrow because of drivers complaining it will start 5 AM so most of us will be in REM deep sleep at that time in Europe however I have put the alarm on in my Xiaomi smartwatch so I really want to wake up and watch this race.

Those EBP if not gotten can hit you hard as I said as that means 2 points minus and in a pool like this 2 points minus is a big impact overall when it will come to the end results of the pool.I am waiting to see if anyone will beat my absolute record of 20 points for a race so far  Grin,in this one it is highly unlikely so most likely let's see in the next race  Grin.

I couldn't get up before the race and missed it.  Cry  I at least watched the replay of the race by fast forwarding it and saw all the incidents happened during the race.

EBP is very important indeed. Thankfully I didn't forget it. Yeah, your record is really unbelievable. I will do my best to break a new record in the upcoming races.  Grin

As for the race today we got very surprising results indeed. Despite the Verstappen DNF today I don't feel like we will see it so often. Red Bull makes the least problematic cars.

I hope that Red Bull have a mechanical failure. Cheesy


Verstappen was out of the race because of a mechanical failure he had just at beginning of the race. If only I wished a different thing. Cheesy Verstappen's being out of the race and Sainz's winning the race after the surgery were results that nobody expected. So everyone collected very low amount of points this week. Congratulations to darxioami and goodpunt on winning a free bet on this challenging week.

Congrats to goodpunt for winning the Yellow Cap for the Australian GP @ Superbru

Congrats to darxiaomi for winning the Australian GP Challenge @ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetio-australian-grand-prix-prediction-contest-5489561

Thanks J!

I dont know how i ended up winning the contest  Grin

For me it was a "good" race but it can be better, after the Verstappen retirement i thinked we can see more fun in the top, but Sainz was in blesing mode and he amde a magnificent race.

Ferrari seems like the find the point in their car, lets see if was only for this race or if is a real step ahead.

Bad race made by Perez, he cant not be on podium positions when Verstappen is out.

Mercedes..... no words, and Russel..... man is not the first time he made this shit in last laps being behind a slow car.

For the pool not much has changed as I believe 90% of us had Verstappen to win from what I saw from the race results in the Superbru now,3 races already gone so soon and next race now after 2 weeks again early in the morning for us in Europe,hopefully we will see not such a race again.

Alonso got 20 seconds penalty for accident with Russell. IMO, it's not right, I don't think that Alonso early braking was dangerous, it's more about Russel who failed to react.

Due to the two mechanical failures of Verstappen and Hamilton, the cards have been reshuffled in our prediction round. Sainz is currently driving towards victory after his operation, Ferrari are generally very strong this weekend and will probably take the double victory this weekend, I'm curious to see if they can confirm it at the next race.

I got the lowest score of people who submitted, I saw MoSala forgot to submit his picks, and casperBGD of course has already left, can't believe I was so dumb to miss the timing, but even as it happened, I love the results!

Anyone who supported Ferrari will be hoping this RB mechanical failure is more than just this race, any details yet if it's permanent or something?

After I watched the last two practice races where Leclerc won, I then took a chance on him winning the pole position. The bookies had both Leclerc and Verstappen with odds of 2.2 on who will win the Qualifying.. When I saw the odds, it gave me more hope for Leclerc to win😂Unfortunately, things went wrong 😁 But we have to take some chances too, otherwise it will be boring 😁 I also took a chance that Leclerc will have the fastest lap, so let's see what happens in a few hours😁

I was really indecisive between picking a Ferrari driver and Verstappen for pole position first. Verstappen outweighed the other option later on.  Grin  Even if I picked a Ferrari my choice would be Leclerc. He was really disappointing in Q3...  Sad  It turned out that his car wasn't configured properly so he couldn't be much competitive for pole position.

What a return by Sainz, right? I really want to watch the start of the race but I'm not even sure if I can get up that early haha.

It looks like tomorrow can be a good day for Ferrari but it is up to not messing things up on strategies also.
