Apparently all you have to do to get the most out of Alonso is to put Hamilton's rear wing in front of him. Maybe they should put an INEOS sticker inside his visor.

Perez is having a good race as well.

 

[forty_three]

Holy shit what a finish between Alonso and Perez

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, 43, you got your changes submitted in the nick if time!

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen takes the win, followed by Norris, then Alonso, and finally Perez. Another couple of laps and Perez would have caught and passed Alonso for Third Place.

A tie remains at the top. CKhokie remains in Third Place. In two weeks, F-1 come to Las Vegas. Should be an interesting race because this one will be the inaugural race. See everyone there.

I was wondering if this was allowed.
Was gonna also make changes. but didnt.
Wouldnt have mattered anyways because I would have went
Verstappen
Norris
Checo
Alonso
(this is the picks I almost originally made)

Man I thought I would have really messed up because I would have gotten a perfect score.
Luckily Alonso wouldnt be denied for the podium, so I didnt have to feel bad for not trying to make the change. LOL
Awesome race between the two. Finishing side by side. Dont see that everyday.

but now I know it would be allowed. So next time let Ferrari (its always ferrari) fuck up before the start again.
I will definitely put in my changes

 

[Retroram52]

The rule is that all picks or changes must be complete by the time they start their engines. Not after any laps have been taken. BEFORE engines are fired.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Schmoopy. If Perez catches and passes Alonso on the final lap, several of us would have received additional points.

Even though it was live for us this week, I still never watched until the afternoon. Too many NFL games in the AM, so I watched it along with the Dal-Phi game.

A heartbreaking afternoon all around...
