2019 Formula 1

[DoubleK]

I'm out of town, put me down for the same results as last race.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Yet another front row lockout is lame but 2-8 represent 7 different constructors. Here’s hoping for a chaotic race.

[FLAMESRULE]

BOO! All the red flags meant it went long and PVR timed out right after Q2.

Yeah, the lockout is lame, but the 15-18c drop in track time because of it led to some pretty interesting results behind the top 4. Toro Rosso looks quick, Renault followed their FP results and they cant seem to stop the cars. Perez loves Baku and had another very good qualifying. Not sure what happened to Haas at all.

Last call for picks!!

[DFO]

Happy with the front row lockout. Funny how Perez is so good at Baku - would be cool to see him on the podium.

[btimbit]

Rethinking my picks already. It's definitely one of those races where you'll see some unexpected finishes by people usually in the bottom 8 or so

[jayswin]

Yep, crucial race for Stroll to have finished higher, but got knocked out in q1, again.

Just imagine what he could with those opening lap overtakes if he was starting 4 or 5 places higher every race.

[DFO]

Wow - a clean first lap!

[DFO]

Curious as to why RP wouldn’t have started Stroll on the mediums? Seems like a mistake

[btimbit]

Ugh, didn't get a single pick right.

I think from now on I'm just going to always go for the Mercedes 1-2 and Verstappen in 4th.

[3thirty]

Got 3-5 right, just had the mercs swapped around.

(Actual results in red) Just in case anyone wants to express sympathy for the number of picks I had off by one place, lol.

Don't worry, I didn't exactly hit it out of the park either

Rocciardo gets a 3 grid place penalty in Spain for taking Kvyat off the track then reversing into him. What a brutal start to the year for Ricciardo, I really feel bad for him. Hopefully he can bail on the 2nd year of his contract and get a seat with a team that can finish races

[jayswin]

I wonder if he'd go back to Red Bull if Gasly continues to struggle? Too much bad blood between them at this point?

[FLAMESRULE]

Well that felt like an anticlimactic race after just an incident filled Free Practice and Qualifying. Here are the latest standings...

@BagoPucks continues to crush. Got 5/10 correct and jumps into first overall after not having picks for Oz! Also has the most correct picks total.

@Fuzz had a solid weekend as well picking 4/10 and could've had a monster weekend had the Mercs been flipped.

@Fuzz & @3thirty also got the first fastest lap points of the season for Leclerc in P5.

As always, let me know if you guys see a mistake.

Spoiler!

Yep, all my picks....oh you meant a mistake inputting them.

[Fuzz]

Had Hamilton been 0.059 faster in Q3 he would have probably led off the start and won the race. Amazing the small difference over 100 seconds and 6km.

[DoubleK]

Is Nicolas Latifi the real deal?

He's won on both race weekends this year.

[speede5]

What's the deadline for picks again? I kinda wanted to make a couple changes after Leclerc blew qually but left it alone.
