I like to punctuate one long continuous drawn out failure with smaller, less important ones. It breaks the tedium!

Virtually everyone finished far too soon. No wonder your wives are unhappy

Actually mine is quite happy. Has been for the past four years, ever since our divorce.

Usually when the FIA boast about how their rule changes will make the cars slower, the cars get much faster. Perhaps they were telling the truth this time.

This week's winner is MikoSyko with a time 0.678 seconds away from Max Vertappen's pole of 1:28.997. Great job getting this one right! They have not been this slow at Bahrain since 2016.

Code: Select all

Pts	Error	Guess	Player
10	00.678	1:29.675	Mikosyko
6	00.886	1:28.111	Antonov
4	01.076	1:27.921	MonteCristo
3	01.109	1:27.888	Megallos
2	01.135	1:27.862	Mawerick
1	01.217	1:27.780	John
0	01.218	1:27.779	Picci
0	01.547	1:27.450	xcraigx
0	01.997	1:27.000	ErwinGreven
0	02.331	1:26.666	TomDA
The Accuracy and Points standings are exactly the same as the results since this is the first round of the year.

This should be an interesting year with RedBull finally challenging the Mercedes.

The next round at Imola is not for another 4 weeks (16 April deadline), so mark your calendars for the next round. The guessing page is already open if you want to get one in early.

Thanks to everyone for playing!

Craig

PS - @MonteCristo you can enter guesses for the entire season.

I had a random thought a few days ago, about whether Guess The Pole would still be a thing here. Didn't actually get round to posting a time, but good to see so many familiar names still around. Will try and get involved this season...
