Firstly, congrats to LTU_btc on their yellow cap with a full podium prediction. 
I think it was really impressive because it was quite an unexpected race week.
I see most of us relied on Leclerc rather than Verstappen on podium. Both of their performances caught me by surprise. Leclerc had a poor qualifying and it affected the race badly.
I thought Verstappen might still lose pace during the race but it only helped Norris get a comfortable win. Not any of the other drivers were able to get even close to Verstappen. I collected only 11 points which cost me 1 place before the break.

Not sure why I felt going with Leclerc agead of Norris was a good idea..
I'm doing worse and worse in the pool but at least I won jeremypwr's contest
Looks like it's going to be a great finish to this season's F1 after all.
RB without a win in the last 8 races, and paying the Perez price after all. The main question is whether Norris can push Verstappen - seems unlikely.

I did the same on my podium choices.
But actually I think it wasn't a bad try. Because Ferrari was really looking solid during free practice sessions. It felt like them and McLaren would fight for the victory. But Ferrari really messed up. It looks like most people weren't expecting to see Verstappen on the podium naturally. But he surprised us after a long time. After this result, I'm losing 2 positions.Now there is no race for a month. I wonder what kind of changes we will see in the last part of the season.
I doubt we will see major changes in this period of the season, most teams I assume are already working on the next season car especially cars who got nothing to do anymore here and they fight for nothing like Aston Martin who already signed Newey and I am sure he already is doing his job there. Maybe Redbull is the only team who needs desperately to upgrade as out of these 6 races left only one is in the city and in the other tracks they can suffer.

I think that is exactly what we are going to see in the race, Verstappen losing positions to the Mercedes cars and to the other McLaren and if things go well I see Ferrari surpassing him too. I also put him very low, maybe number 7 in the finish line because I have seen how bad Redbull has performed here during the race, their last race win is with Vettel if I remember correctly in such track and now that they are in free downfall chances are high we are going to see him losing positions.
Personally I would be vary happy with 14.5 points in here comparing to how the starting grid is aligned as these last races being consistent is key to finishing in a good prize spot because I don't doubt that I will finish in a prize spot, I only have doubt if it will be below 5th or above 5th.

Too bad it didn't happen like we wanted, funnily enough the odds on Max to win the whole thing is still quite high so clearly the sportsbooks still think he is winning in the end.
Now I'm very confused also on how to place for the next race. Either Max gets another couple of wins, or he keeps podium all the time. 3 weeks is a bad break for Mclaren. RB could use it to improve everything.
@Reatime it's always bad betting for me in F1, so I hardly bet on it lol but we got the season we all asked for. Unpredictability and so many different winners. I won't be surprised even if we get one race where Sauber wins lol
It can improve or Redbull can make dramatic mistakes now that Newey is not anymore with them, they may be thinking that the changes will bring better performance to the car when in fact it may create a bottleneck. Personally I will continue to place him down the grid as I think it is him now who can make a difference regarding the points in these last races. Personally I am betting in non positive results for both Verstappen and Redbull as a team.

Damn it, nothing is going in my favor with F1 predictions, and I am woese even than mafia man cryptofrka 
This season has been bad for bettors lol. It’s so unpredictable! I mean 5 months ago, it was Max Verstappen who was putting in 20+ seconds on whoever is at the 2nd position and now it’s Lando Norris. Hard to believe because Mclaren was never at the front these past few years. It has always been Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari on top and suddenly Mclaren is leading the championship after years of not doing so. Quote
I dont know how LTU_btc had so many correct predictions but congratulations to him!
I expected more from Ferrari team but Norris and team McLaren Mercedes dominated in this race but Verstappen is not giving up.
Verstappen can win the driver’s championship with a little ease now. Lando not being able to take the point for fastest lap might just have cost him the title thanks to Daniel Ricciardo. Which by the way, does anyone believe he’s actually leaving F1 already? Quite a bit of a sad goodbye, to be honest. Despite his performances. I expected more from Ferrari team but Norris and team McLaren Mercedes dominated in this race but Verstappen is not giving up.
September 22, 2024, 04:37:17 PM
What a beast of a car McLaren is having right now , right ? To put over 20 seconds between their car and Max Verstappen car in more than 2 races is incredible and at this point RedBull is surely focusing only on Max taking the world championship because Constructors championship seems already in the pockets of McLaren.
Big congrats for those who got the predictions right and unfortunately we have 3 weeks break until next race.

Norris didn't missed start and in general after that there was no doubts about his win. Not the most interesting race, even 4 DRSzones don't help much in track like Singapore.
If it was last race for Daniel Ricciardo, he ended it on high note by taking fastest lap. And it's a bit help for Verstappen, because before that fastest lap was made by Norris. Will miss Ricciardo in F1
Now we have another 1 month break. F1 calendar sometimes doesn't makes sense. We have two 1 month breaks and on the same time very intensive calendar with multiple triple headers.

LTU_btc, I don't recall such a dominant round win. In this pool, half points matter and you smashed it out of the park with a 2.5 point lead. I know Superbru tends to settle late but this was impressive. Podium bonus is big man!
Congratulations to LTU_btc, 17 points is impressive,
Congrats to LTU_btc for winning the Singapore Grand Prix Yellow Cap @ Superbru
Congrats to LTU_btc for winning the yellow cap and finding the exact podium which gives you a whopping 8 points and now he is in the prize spots zone with 4 places jumping above, 17 points is only because of the podium correctly found,
Hahaha, first to all congratulations to LTU for this amazing performance.
Thank you all guys! When I realized that I got right Top 3 prediction, I thought that my result will be good, but didn't thought about yellow cap. It help me a lot, before it I was stuck outside Top 10 all season long. 
September 22, 2024, 10:36:26 AM
Guess a lot of us went against good ol' Max (we do want to see the leader gap close, don't we?) but Norris is going to have to be happy with the gap reducing only by 7 points. With six races to go, maybe the Dutchman holds on to this after all...

Man super race made by Colapinto, what a start, a bad strategy prevent him of taking points. I dont know why Albon said that in the radio because he was miles aways from him, maybe in the rush he see other blue car like a Rb and he was confused.
A boring race anyways to see, nobody can suprass so much. And Lando..... i really want not to see Verstappen winning again the championship, but we have to said this now, i dont know if Lando deserves to be the champion also, so many mistakes made by him, today he was 1 milimeter of crashing alone and destroy his own race.

What a horror of month upcoming, one month without racing, I thought the last 1 month without racing is in August, really bad for us F1 fans.

Congratulations to LTU_btc, 17 points is impressive, I'm also happy with my 13.5 this week, had put Leclerc and Ferrari in second place, but the qualifying was too bad for that, but that's how it goes on now, even if I'm already very bering on the chance of a better place in the final standings.

Norris beat them by a mile, a lap to 8th place and among them a Red Bull, Checo was on the verge of "preferring" to crash (sarcasm...) If something good can happen to all the teams is to have 3 weeks for the next Gran Prix.

I think Norris will once again miss the race start and Verstappen will take advantage of this and most likely secure P1. However , I don't see Verstappen holding much even if he makes that pass because McLaren clearly has the fastest car on track and Norris most likely will convert the race into a win as long as he is composed during the race.
Guess he did not
Main problem for me now is Verstappen did very well in qualifying and I picked him quite low in the ranks so now I guess I'm gonna hope for the others to continue making good decisions and for Max to continue finding issues in his car.Fastest cars should get the podiums, Max 5th at best, but without any incidents happening.
One crash, for sure. People gonna get desperate.

Main question before tomorrow's race - will Norris will miss race start again. We already saw his slow reaction starting from front row in some previous races. In track like Singapore regaining 1st place might be much more difficult.
After Sainz crash teams had just 1 fast lap attempt. It made qualifying even more exciting and left no room for mistake.
After Sainz crash teams had just 1 fast lap attempt. It made qualifying even more exciting and left no room for mistake.
Ferrari drivers had a terrible day. Sainz crashed and Leclerc couldn't even finish a lap properly. Mercedes looked really decent. It is really hard to predict them. Sometimes they are good, sometimes it is the opposite...
Another day to forget for Ferrari. After succesful Italian GP they're falling down again with their performances.I think Norris will once again miss the race start and Verstappen will take advantage of this and most likely secure P1. However , I don't see Verstappen holding much even if he makes that pass because McLaren clearly has the fastest car on track and Norris most likely will convert the race into a win as long as he is composed during the race.
Ferrari...what can we say...they had a very big chance to be on 2nd and 3rd place or at least 3rd and 4th but once again Sainz made a rookie mistake that eventually cost them a lot and also it might cost them important points in Constructor Championship. Same goes for Leclerc who has been struggle with his car since Practice 1 on Friday so I'm not really surprised on his side even if he could have make it in top 3 easily.
