Guess the Pole 2021 - Portugal (Round 3) [+Results]

#1

Post by XcraigX »

Accused of looking too much like the Spanish Barcelona track, F1 decided to end the Portuguese GP at Estoril after the 1996 season. However with the great COVID pandemic of 2020, F1 was desperate enough to try new or old circuits/venues to fill its calendar. This time however F1 decided to try and host the Portuguese GP at the Portmao circuit in Algarve that had much success in Motorbikes and Sportscars. Last year we were able to see a bit of action with the various sweeping corners and undulations. But it all starts with the Saturday qualifying event. Can Max continue his hot form and take the pole over Lewis? Will Mercedes have the answer to the High-ended RedBull? Will Bottas finally get his act together and be able to challenge more than the Williams? It's all to be answered on Saturday!

Take your best stab at the pole time at the link below!
