P1 for Max in yet again what was clearly not the fastest car on track. G O A T

I enjoyed that race.

High tire deg made it interesting.

Spain this weekend. Easy track layout with soft entry turns pretty much everywhere. Huge run-offs.

I took "no retirements" @ 7.0

Also took Oscar to win qualifying @ 14.0

There was also zero cars off the track through all 3 practice sessions, so I doubled my wager on "no retirements" @ 7.5.

Just need no mechanicals.

Big win on that no retirements bet.

Between Canada and Spain I was able to recover all my losses from Monaco qualifying LOL.

Back on track.

Edit: gambling season so far - because I track this stuff like an autist.

Bahrain: +72.6% ROI
Saudi Arabian: +2.4% ROI
Japan: +40.1% ROI
China: +9.1% ROI
Miami: +120.7% ROI
Imola: +49.4% ROI
Monaco: -100% ROI - loser
Canada: +226.6% ROI
Spain: +453.5% ROI

The ROI per weekend is:

(total weekend profit) divided by (total weekend wagers)

This is needed for people to start truly appreciating Max's talent. The other cars have caught up so much that Checo can no longer beat any of the Mercs, Ferrari's and McLaren's. Just shows what a massive job Max is doing.

Norris winning driver of the day today just shows what I'm talking about.

Max said today that Checo hasn’t suddenly gotten worse, everyone else is now that much better.
While I still don’t believe Checo’s pace is the true pace of the car, I do think it lies somewhere between them…which just shows how ridiculously good Max is.

Edit: No idea how/why Norris keeps winning all these DOTD’s. His fangirls must be a serious voting force.
Fastest car on track. Starts P1. Finishes P2. Driver of the day. Smfh.

Alright boyos....

Austria + sprint weekend.....

Red Bull always struggles with set-up on sprint weekends, combine this with the bumpy-ish track here, and McLarens recent strength, I thinking taking Lando for sprint+quali+race wins is value. He's anywhere from 3.9 to 4.3 on all those, so 25% implied odds. I'll take that.

I also snagged Oscar for quali winner @ 17.0 and sprint winner @ 31.0.... not so much because I think he will (especially based on recent performances) but because it's so damn cheap.

Potential for some rain - maybe we'll have another fun race like Canada.

Edit: oh yeah, Lando loves this track, too.

Yes, but:




















Max verstappen

Well yeah there's that. But turns 1, 3, and 4 are not going to be nice for the RB20 relative to McLaren and Ferrari.

I expect that first sector to be painful for Max.

Turn 7+8 he should have the biggest advantage, but I think it'll be too little, too late.

Mercedes has been difficult to predict. They're suddenly strong, but not mogging anybody yet.
