Azerbaijan GP 2017
The new modelling approach used in the Canadian GP offered accurate predictions especially for the qualifying session. Following Mercedes’ 1-2 in Canada, a Ferrari is again expected to split the Mercedes in qualifying with Hamilton having 72.4% chances of starting in front of Vettel. However, Sebastian has a slightly higher probability (56.7%) to actually win the race. Race predictions have been updated after the qualifying.
I think the Ferraris will bounce back and Vettel will fight straight up against Lewis Hamilton. Further back, Perez and Ocon will probably finish ahead of the Williams.
It’s also absolutely amazing news that Robert Kubica might return back to F1, no matter how unlikely this may seem. Let’s hope his situation is as good as he says it is. You can read more about this story here.

Well, as usual unpredictable results in qualification. I started betting and bet (5 usd) on Sainz vs Kvyat (lost), and Kimi vs Seb (won). Scary to make any prediction on the race, except that fact that it will be SC :).
Amazingly unpredictable race. I think nobody can predicted such results.
