Guess the Pole 2021 - QATAR (Round 20) [+RESULTS]

[XcraigX]

The third part of the 2021 Trippleheader is in QATAR. We venture to the Losail International Circuit for the first time with an F1 car. The race is planned for evening time under the lights (5 PM local time). So we can expect setting sun vistas similar to Bahrain. Qualifying will be at a similar time just to keep things even.

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? Will the Merc fresh engines continue to dominate here? 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 morning time at the track, so expect a GTP deadline similar to Euro continent races this weekend.

[Star]

Almost forgot this, sorry, had personal stuff going on.

[Picci]

Is there any scientific basis for all of us revolving around the 1:21-1:23s? Or did someone just randomly type in 1:22 and everyone just went oh yeh let's make a guess somewhere around that time

JFK Jr. came back with the alien visitors in a flying saucer and told me times would be in the 1:22's.

[Star]

I put in a time, had second thoughts and totally scuppered myself. I know I shouldn't change my mind, it almost never works out well when I do

Oh well, I have had a lot on my mind. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!

[erwin greven]

I had a 1:15 in mind first. Added 2 sec to it.

Looks like we're book-ending everyone else. I'm waving hello not goodbye to you from the other end of the group

[MonteCristo]

I'll gladly take second.

I had no clue what lap times they would drive.

Me either, that's apparent by the time I put in


Congrats to @Mikosyko, nicely done

[XcraigX]

In Qatar, "None is greater than Alah", but @Mikosyko comes close with an amazing guess .973 seconds away from Lewis Hamilton's pole time of 1:20.827. None of us were close, but Mikosyko was closest! Great guess!
