First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 1962. These notes are for F1RaceDraft predictions — fan-made, not affiliated with the FIA or Formula 1. Length and lap counts come from our circuit file, not from live timing.
Overtaking
DRS on the long straight. Altitude changes cooling and downforce — trust practice more than sea-level form.
Tyres
Altitude and the stadium section. Cooling and deg both show up in long runs.
DNF calls
Opening-lap packs plus cooling-related reliability as a theme, not a count.
Fastest lap
A points car with a late tyre.
Podium
Do not copy a sea-level race. Read who looks after the car in FP2.
P1, P2 and P3 are three exact calls. A driver who only “podiums” in the wrong slot scores zero for that place. Use the layout notes above, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page.
What to do with the notes
Overtaking, tyres, retirements, fastest lap and the podium are separate calls on the six. Read them as circuit character, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page. The notes are not a predicted result.
