Guess the Pole 2021 - Saudi Arabia (Round 21) [+Results]

#1

Post by XcraigX »

Last week we ventured to the Losail (Qatar) International Circuit for the first time with an F1 car. This time we venture to Saudi Arabia and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for another brand new adventure in the middle east. This circuit is billed as the "worlds fastest street circuit" and even with 27 "corners" they are expecting time to distance ratio second only to Monza.

The race and Qualifying will both take place in the evening under the lights.

"No experience on this track to understand the surface, tire wear or dominant car characteristics. Therefore the times are wide open! What do you think will influence the lap times?" (same statements from last week still apply) Will the Merc "Brazil spec engines" provide a gap to the rest of the field here like it did in Sao Paulo? Will RedBull relent and take a fresh engine also to give Max an extra boost? Get your guess in early as this will be a wild ride!

Free Practice 1 will be afternoon time at the track, so expect a GTP deadline just a bit later than Euro continent races this weekend.

==============================================================================
Round 21 - Formula 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2021, Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Jeddah, Saudi - 3- 5 December

Track Length: 6.174 Km (3.836 Miles)

Depends what 'magic tricks' Mercedes have up their sleeves ;)


Looks like @MonteCristo could be in a good place for this one.

They are already into the 29's so I reckon @Star @Minardi @Mikosyko and @John are all in the ballpark. Just sayin'. :wink:

I think they'll be faster than me.

But I had to do something to try to break away from the others to stand a chance in the points standings. No point gaining a couple points here and there.

Hopefully you're right though!

Well we will find out soon enough who got it right and who didn't. Obviously we'd all like to think we were right, why play if you don't?

With his win this week, it puts Mawerick in a lead for the Points Championship that only an exact guess can beat (with him not scoring). xcraigx and MonteCristo better pull out a miracle if they hope to take him over.

The Abu Dhabi GP is next weekend and that means we only have a few days to get our guesses in. Make that guess now!

They're estimating the lap times to drop by around fifteen seconds
