agree, it is a right decision, probably only viable decision at the moment
you can't have race, when people are endangered by floods, and cannot live normal

not sure if it will be possible to have on later date, or season will end-up without this race? nevertheless, let's first see flood situation resolved, and race will have to wait

According to the statement they have shared with us it looks like it is possible for us to see this race again this season. However the calendar is quite tight you know so I don't know if they would like to make it more difficult for drivers and teams both. But one thing is for sure that this isn't a postponement to a near date as it is rather a cancellation.

It is a really unfortunate incident indeed. We have seen so many race tracks under heavy rain conditions but we don't see this kind of emergencies very often. I hope they can solve the issues as soon as possible.

Well i think we have a little bit much of rain....

And yes you cant make a race when the people around are suffering by a flood.

So the "new" Mercedes with side pots needs to wait a little bit more to showing us what it is.

It was definitely the right decision to cancel the race, the Grand Prix could only have gone ahead with a lot of effort and helpers, but the helpers are needed elsewhere more urgently, so it was understandable, even if the teams have not yet arrived in full, that the cancellation was made in time.

~snip~

It is really sad to hear about this but I also agree that it is the right decision. There is flooding in the region and it looks like it will take them a long time to prepare the track for the race. Besides even if they deal with the current problems there it is said that there is still a risk of downpours in the region later.

The Imola GP can still take place later in the season but now we are just going to continue with the Monaco GP which is in a week also. We even have two weeks full of race weekends ahead of us. Right after Monaco we are going to Spain. Hopefully we don't get such news from Monaco also thinking of a race under heavy rain there recently.

In a season that Red Bull dominates heavily I think only rain can make us watch more entertaining races.

From now on in case you make your predictions before 1st practice session the prize can be 2mbtc. Making predictions before seeing the last condition of teams is making things more complicated but exciting as well.

Ah good... Could make for an interesting race. And Verstappen drives well under wet conditions and so does Alonso and somewhat Hamilton. I guess we see these three on the podium come Sunday? Grin

I just hope they don't postpone it, it's a really nasty situation rn in Emilia-Romagna. Sad

Ooh, another race and another prediction contest. I'm probably going to play it safe with the pool predictions, but for the freebet picks, I'm taking Perez on for a win, even if Verstappen will take pole, I'll even give him the fastest lap.

Rain, no rain, all the drivers seem able to take it on well, Googling tells me Hamilton is the best in wet conditions -- biggest percentage of his wins have come in rain, but I suspect it's going to be car/tyre that has the final say (as usual).

Thanks for the next chance to win, Imola is very hard to judge, it's very hard to overtake, last year RedBull were dominant, Ferrari were second and fourth on the grid but can they repeat, so far I've overestimated Ferrari and Ferrari have been consistently disappointing, maybe they can turn it around and I'm going to guess about unconventionally at your freebet.

And I guess there's a higher chance for Alonso to get the fastest lap than what the line suggest..? He's lined at 8 for fastest lap rn. What do you guys think?

It really looks like we are going to have a rainy race weekend this time. There was a probability for the Miami GP as well but it dried up earlier. This time I wonder if we can see a race under rain. Rain can make races much more interesting most of the time. Just remember the Singapore GP last season. Verstappen had really big struggles despite dominating the season normally.

Maybe he can have problems in this race as well which can make the race more competitive than we expect. Perez might see a big opportunity to win another race in that case.

Nice to hear that, because we need it, Imola can be really boring circuit without some chaos, in this case rain can make the chaos part.

Lets see for how much RedBull wins again sadly.

We can only see a good fight for the third spot between Alonso aginst Ferrari and Mercedes drivers.

Well i think now FIA really need to take care about this issue. What issue? The tyre life.

Man, we have no strategy on the race, the compounds are really hard and lasts until the entire race without dropping so much in term of performance.

Verstappen yesterday only pit, because you have to do at least one pit stop by the rules. But also one pit stop its really low, and now that its the normal.

Pit stops and strategy are one of the most beautifull parts of the F1 without them its also more easy for a dominant car to win.

And why not get the Q2 fastest lap tire rule back again. It adds for some interesting tire strategies during quali in anticipation for the start of the race.

I have been hearing about some changes to be made by FIA in the future. But I haven't heard anything about tyre strategies yet. Instead FIA have some plans to reduce the weight of cars by making them smaller at the same time. They are aiming to make races more watchable than ever as we would see many more overtakes in number.

I believe that this is one of the positive steps they can take for the sake of Formula 1. However this means that Red Bull drivers can overtake others even easier than before also. Grin

But even if they dominate the sport at least races can get more enjoyable to watch for us.

Not really... It makes for a boring season. I haven't really paid a lot of attention for F1 as I know it's gonna be another year for Red Bull. What F1 needs is a tough rivalry just like the one we had during 2021 between Verstappen and Hamilton. It brings some spice. Overtakes won't matter if we already know it's another easy win for RBR imho.

Congratulations @rdbase on winning the yellow cap in the pool for this round. You deserve the best. I also managed to climb seven places and I hope to continue achieving more good results. However, it seems that getting it in the long run is almost impossible. Grin

Got my first yellow cap with only the fifth race of the season.
So I am surprised because the user with the name of Lemmings could of had the share of it. They had to only put their predictions in before qualifying, for those two extra early bird points which would of brought them up to the amount I had by the end of the race.
So got over that bump of getting that first cap.

Congratulations for the yellow cap. You deserved it. EBP points are definitely very important especially if we think that the two Red Bull drivers are dominating the season. The important thing this season is to predict the 3rd place. I thought Leclerc would be on podium as I thought it would be rainy. However Ferrari were very bad as a team.
