Guess the Pole 2021 - Brazil (Round 19) [+RESULTS]

#1

Post by XcraigX »

The second part of the Trippleheader is in Brazil. We return to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace after a 1 year COVID absence. Now renamed the Grand Prix of Sao Paulo, it makes me wonder if they are planning another GP somewhere else in Brazil? Hmmm...

Short time to get your guess in by Friday (or early Sat morning in Aussie), so do that before you forget!

Brazil has been a RedBull strong ground these past couple years. Even with that the Mercedes seems to be having a bit more Saturday pace. Will that translate to a quicker than usual pole time? Get your guess in early!

==============================================================================
Round 19- Formula 1 Heineken Grande Prêmio De São Paulo 2021, Autódromo José Carlos Pace, São Paulo - 12 - 14 November

Track Length: 4.309 Km (2.677 Miles)
Race Laps: 71 (305.909 Km)

2019 Pole time: Max Verstappen (RedBull) 1:07.508
The deadline for entries is before the start of Friday First Free Practice (Friday 13 November 3:30 GMT / UK time)

Will have to have a think and come back to this one, the weather looks a bit uncertain at the moment.

Dont forget it is a Sprint format weekend, so the actual traditional Q1, 2 & 3 qualifying part that GTP is based on is Friday after only one practice session, with p2 on the Saturday and the Sprint race to set the Sunday grid (and official Pole) after that.

Thanks! So the Friday Q3 time will count as pole. No sprint results. It's just a shorter race.

On the other hand if it is dry, Star is looking...... :whistling: It is forecst to be raining now, but only 0.3 mm, and it does not seem to be raining right now. I have not heard any mention of it being wet in any way.

Now I wish I hadn't edited my time slower an hour before the deadline. My original guess was 1:08.081.

Ha same! I actually revised my time because I remembered the track may still be green given they qualify on a Friday. It’s okay though!

So (provisional) pole was a 1:07.934. But I guess we cant pick a winner until Lewis's stewards enquiry is over. Oh and Max's separate summons outcome, given they both might be in trouble.

If Lewis is DSQ'd from qualy he will be out of the pole equation, but what happens in the GTP rules if Max's time stays but he gets a grid drop? That is one for @XcraigX to work out! :haha:

For info Max's actual time was a !:08.372. If he is rubbed out as well it would be Bottas on pole with a 1:08.469.

As they say, 'poop' happens. Still a few hours until they wake up in Brazil and get these enquiries going....

Yup, same here. I had totally forgotten the qualifying was on Friday instead of Saturday, and when I remembered it I edited my time. Oh well.
