Actually, I am running a thread in another forum. It has been years. I posted same 10 questions on each race. No prizes game. Just for fun. I have few guys joining me to play the game. All prediction has to made before FP1 so that to be fair. Any prediction after the FP1 scored half point. No point if the result is made known. I was saying "Race Weekend" to remind myself to made prediction of the upcoming race.
Got a tip for us?

Starting in 1996 I used to run a game at a board dedicated to F1. I called it "Dark Horse". You could pick 2 drivers but they had to be from the back markers. None of the big 3, or 4, depending on the season. You're first pick was your primary driver and if he scored points you'd get whatever points he scored. If he didn't you could then use your secondary driver. And we used the same points that F1 did at the time. Had to have your picks in by the start of qualifying.
Most of you will never know the joy of Pedro Diniz finishing 6th...

So looks like Max and Lewis couldn't wait until the race to start the rivalry on the track in Austin. Max again letting his temper get the better of him on the team radio.
Sadly due to the time difference qualifying highlights are on at 8:30 in the morning for me and the race highlights at midnight. Just as well I'm not at work Mondays for the rest of the year!

The name calling is revealing and immature as usual. His teammate seems like a much nicer sportsman.
The funny thing was Max overtook Lewis a few corners earlier and then moaned when he came back through. All seems rather silly and I bet Lewis is secretly laughing and knowing he’s winding him up lol.
Sky have put the qualifying on one of the channels we have on Now TV, Sky showcase, so I can watch tonight if I can stay awake!
So nice not to have to get up at like 5AM (or earlier) for qualifying.
Mercedes PUs looking a bit fragile? A number of engine and component swaps this weekend...

Solid performance by the top three and glad to hear the crowd roar for each of them.
Agreed. Hope we get a good clean battle between the top two. Hate to see them come together again!
For sure but Hamilton will have the inside line so is going to be close around turn one (any takers on Hamilton running Max out wide?), will be very interesting if Perez can get involved off the line. Should be a cracking race and the start of a great eight weeks of F1.
I feel like I'm on ignore but ok...
MotoGP riders didn't like the surface at COTAS but I guess the F1 guys are fine with it?
GO MAX!
GO LANDO!
GO CHECO!!

I don’t think the drivers love Austin. It’s a nightmare for MotoGP. It destroys rear tires and your off the seat every lap when your back end steps out on one of the many “whoop dee do’s” under power.
Entire track just keeps settling. It’s not going to stop given the geological conditions.
Ditch Austin and let’s race in Miami.
Yeah this is a race I usually miss due to the time it’s shown on a Sunday night. I haven’t seen this race live in years!! Sad as it’s a fairly decent circuit.
My comment was about an incident in Free Practice, not qualifying. Just woken up to the results though and it’s looking like a good race with nothing between the top three. Hopefully we get some good wheel to wheel action without silly crashes.Who‘s on Pole.
I haven't watched the race yet, but what an awesome battle in quali. Go Perez go!!
Not sure what Lewis was doing during practice? I guess he was trying to get into Max's head and failed, I haven't seen it though just read about it.
EDIT: oh never mind I see the race isn't until later lol! Stupid time differences haha. Looked fairly good weather wise though at the track yesterday.

Lewis can't, the entry into that first corner is huge, if he tries to run Max off he risks leaving a huge door for Perez and everyone else to pile through, Lando doesn't need much of an invitation to take on Lewis for example.
Gonna be a good one, don't think I'll be able to watch it live though.
