As I (a425couple) see it, there was a followup posted to my post,
that was, , , maybe, shall we say mistyped?? And certainly confusing.
My (a425couple) post and prediction, is & was:

a425 predicts

pole Lando Norris

P1 Lando Norris
P2 Oscar Piastri
P3 Max Verstappen

I would suggest that pP85PrR (darryl johnson) resend his prediction.

Interesting.
If I can count correctly, we have 24 participants, an increase
from last year.

So, it appears we have a newsgroup that is increasing in
participation in this time of dying newsgroups.
Way to go Mark! Great job of finding an interest and
an attraction.
