Bottom post of the previous page:
I must confess that earlier in the day I read an article on F1.com that started talking of 1:28s being the talk, so I chopped 4 seconds off my initial guess, to make it a high 30, not game to go for the 28s I had read about. Now it seems that with a 1:31.098 after P1 it is likely even the 28 estimate was a tad slow for pole. The accuracy of everyone is going to take a hit today with no one having guessed lower than a 1:30.Guess the Pole 2022: Round 5 - Miami USA [+Results]

I'm not worried.
The whole thing is Micky Mouse.
Just a matter of time until the harbour springs a leak and floods the circuit to slow them down...

But yeah P2 and we are already seeing times into the 29's and near enough a second faster than any of us guessed for pole.

Yeah me too.... I was going to edit to 1:28.888 after my late finding the estimate online had dropped to 1:28's (ok I like 8's) but Ichickened out. I ended up going for the slowest time I could that was faster than everyone else when I posted.

I did think it would be similar to the Bahrain time. Did I take notice of that? Apparently notEverso Biggyballies wrote: ↑1 year agoYeah me too....

**Gloating noises**. Bring me my grapes.
All I can say is scouring the internet for info Friday afternoon my time and finding a revised prediction of 1:28s on F1.com helped. Even if I didnt have the balls to post even a sub 30 in the end. My original guess was 4 seconds slower than my edited time.

As many of you have already surmised, this weeks winner is @Everso Biggyballies with a time 2.092 seconds away from Charles LeClerc's pole time of 1:28.796. Great guess on a first time ever track EB!
The full results for this week:
==========================================================================
In the Accuracy Championship, MiÑardi stays WAY out front thanks to his amazing rain guess last round.
In the Points Championship, Everso BiggieBallies has been racking up the points and has broken out to a nice 3 point lead this week over previous leader Star, who also scored this week.
It appears we have lost @John, @megallos, and @Mikosyko. Drop me a PM if you are out for the year and I can drop you from the table. If not, use this mention as a reminder to get in on the next GTP round for Spain (deadline on May 20)!
Thanks for playing everyone! And thanks for your patience this week! I'll get the new thread going next weekend for Spain! Look out for that.

I cannot accept this result! The fact that @XcraigX refuses to count hanging chads as part of my guess adds to the outrage! Onwards to the Supreme Court who will surely recognise the voice of the people!
...
@XcraigX - Maybe mention everyone who has entered during the season (and last season as well) in the first post of a new GTP race topic?
