Another race showing the difference between Max and Checo. He needs to get bounced.

So after Imola, the only changes in the WDC/WCC standings are that Leclerc passed Perez for P2, and Hamilton passed Alonso for P8.

These two changes caused considerable shuffling in the prediction rankings. While MikeD leads again for the seventh straight race, sorantable and busbeepbeep made big moves up the charts from P7 and P8 respectively, to P2 and P3 podium positions!

Glad to see Mclaren performing.

I was all in on RB/Max breaking Mercs dominance a few years back, but always said once that happened, I wanted Mclaren to be the team to peak next.

Is there a season long standing or for now just week to week?

Your prediction is just for the final standings at the end of the season. After every race I score your prediction against the current WDC and WCC standings just for fun. These in-season ranking scores don't mean anything except "if the season ended after this last race, this is your score and where you are in the rankings." This is just to show how your predictons are trending as the different teams/drivers rise and fall in the rankings over the season.

For next year I am considering a more active prediction contest where you predict the finishing order of each race (instead of predicting the championship order). Your race prediction will be ranked, and the top 10 guys in the ranking will get F1 points. This way you can accumulate points for each race. If you forget to submit a prediction for a race, your prediction from the previous race will be used, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to predict a race. I think this will be a lot more fun since you are engaged to predict each race, and you can account for teams getting faster or slower over the season.

That race at least had something on it at the end, Lando was pushing Red Bull


Nope, Max was cooling his tires. Even if Lando catches Max, he's not getting around him. It's sometimes easy to catch a competitor, much harder to get around.

Made up drama, outcome was never in doubt, Max all the way.

I watched the race today, very boring, nothing like Miami.

I felt this as well. I think the days of max being able to pit and not lose position are over though. He's not going to win races by an average of 15 seconds, but I think rumors of RB's demise are being greatly exaggerated.

RBR will actually have to use strategy again. That's a game changer.

Got a link?

All I have seen was that Max had trouble getting enough heat into his fronts on the hards.

Other teams had trouble getting the hards heated into the right window as well.

Max ran away on full tanks and medium tires. Things reversed once the fuel load went down and the hards went on.

Agree, think they won't runaway with things the rest of the year, but they won't lose. They've built too big of a lead already.

Mclaren is the one to catch them and they are over 100 constructors points back.

Max will continue to win a majority of races, Checo being the wild card. But going to take a while of him coming in 5-10 and Mclaren being in the top 5 to make up that deficit.

That is a very sharp livery, the Google Chrome wheel caps look out of place on it tho.
