Are you setting up a prediction competition this year?

Yeah, I've been a little slow in generalizing my code to handle multiple years with different teams, drivers, races, etc. I think I'm almost done.

Players from last year are already set up. You will use the same URL as last year to log in and save your predictions. I will send an e-mail to all of last year's players with this information that they are all set.

I hope to announce the new season by tomorrow night, so I'll have two weeks to add new players and add a reminder in this thread every couple of days.

Also, I will announce that I am taking donations to make a bigger prize fund this year. Last year the P1, P2, and P3 finishers got to choose an F1-related prize worth up to $40. They all chose the Bburago 2024 McLaren Lando 1:18 scale diecast (they are always a year behind). This year I'd like to extend the prizes to the top six or even the top 10 in the rankings, to keep the interest up towards the end of the season. It just depends on how big the prize fund is.

Just saw that DTS comes out the 27th. Does anyone watch this anymore?

I don't think I've finished any of the last 3 seasons. I was a handful of episodes and get bored with all the fake arse drama and Will Buxton's analysis

Same. I'll give it another chance, but don't have much hope.

Who is buying into the Ferrari hype?

Really like seeing them taking different approaches than the other teams and I think there’s a really good chance they end up with one of if not the best car for part of the season until other teams replicate it.

But we know they’re screw up the strategy and embarrass themselves.

Imo, Ferrari is overhyped until proven otherwise. Just going on history. I'll eat that crow if proven wrong.

This year is our year!

Only a “Ferrari fan” because Seb drug me to them and at this point it’s been so long that they’re basically underdogs.

Even if not, they will find a way to frick up the strategy.

As a Cadillac fan I’m starting to buy into the hype that Ferrari have built a strong reliable engine.

I hope they’ve built a car that Charles and Lewis can fight for a title in. Wondering how Ferrari will handle having 2 drivers at the front, or if their strategy will prevent them from getting to the front.

I’m hoping for 10th place this year for Cadillac

10th place ahead of Aston Martin wouldn’t be a bad season ha
