I know I don't follow F1 and I did not expect much from this pool but I feel like there is almost no point in playing this. I mean everybody is picking Verstappen always which is boring but you must do it and then hoping you get exact placement for one of the other guys. I did not watch a single race or read a single article and still I am in the middle of the pool. Basically all I know is that Verstappen is winning every race and then I pick other guys just by their points that are written in Superbru.
Is there something more to this for those of you that understand the sport?

Red Bull have the fastest car on the grid by far now. As Verstappen is one of the most skilled drivers too this combination brings about a huge domination in this sport. It was the same for Hamilton when we were in the turbo hybrid era. Now Red Bull have captured the domination from Mercedes. This is a domination sport I'm afraid so there will always be someone who wins nearly all the time unless the cars are equal.
Right now there is only a competition among the other drivers. As for the pool it is simple to predict the winner and pole position most of the time. But the more difficult part is generally to predict the whole drivers in top 10 and their placements at the same time.
It looks like the new tyre format in qualifying didn't affect Verstappen's performance in a good way for now. But maybe it has something to do with the new changes in the car as well. Red Bull were expected to gain more speed actually but we will see it more clearly in the race.
