Alternate Pick for Azerbaijan Grand Prix?
Yesterday, I made this post on Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix. As I showed, there is a strong riddle for Lando Norris this weekend, as we just had the death of James Earl Jones, a famous actor from Star Wars.
There’s another very intriguing alignment, however, for the driver who happens to be the second-most favored to win the race. Charles Leclerc, who is coming off of a stunning win at Monza (unless you saw this video), makes this race a little bit harder to call.
My last post goes over the connections to Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian).
That post also discusses some links to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, the 4th in the nation’s history. 323 is a number important to U.S. President Barack Obama, the former and 44th Commander-in-chief of the United States.
The race falls on a date with 32/23 numerology:
The Grand Prix will have Primary numerology of 68:
Charles Leclerc will be a span of 9832 days old and 32 days before his next birthday:
And again the race has date numerology of 32:
My F1 Streak
Back in early June, I made this post on the Austrian Grand Prix, which took place on June 30th. As I mentioned in a video, this was the largest 119 / 911 riddle I had ever seen – maybe even bigger than the 9/11 attacks themselves.
As a result, I theorized that Max Verstappen would be chasing his 61st win, but Max actually entered that race having already won his 61st. While I was wrong about that, I was right that this was a significant riddle, because Verstappen’s three-year reign of dominance ended that weekend, and Austria was the first of a string of consecutive losses that extends to this day, which has held him at 61 career victories.
In Part 3 of that post, I go on about various connections with other drivers for that race. I started with Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes teammate George Russell, who ended up getting his second career win. I never really picked a winner, but I think that work showed I was on the right wavelength.
I’ve made four actual bets on winners since then in F1. First, I picked Lewis Hamilton to win his first race in almost three years at the Spanish Grand Prix at roughly 15-to-1, given his immense Skull and Bones riddle that weekend. Instead, we got this news story reporting that Hamilton’s team might be trying to kill him. Okay.
Hamilton did not win that race, but did win two weeks later at Silverstone. Coupled with George Russell’s win in Austria that I thought I should have figured out, I decided to give it another go in the next race at Hungary.
I successfully picked Oscar Piastri to win his first-ever Grand Prix at 18-to-1 that weekend. See this video to learn how I came to that conclusion. Primarily, it was a riddle connected to Robin Williams, who starred in the film Jack, which is Oscar’s middle name.
Thrilled with my win, I looked at the numbers for the Belgian Grand Prix the next week. To my bewilderment, I was unable to find any interesting riddles and decided not to bet. That turned out to be a good decision, because although George Russell crossed the line first, he was disqualified for his car being underweight, and Lewis Hamilton was promoted to victory.
F1 then went on summer break before returning at Zandvoort. Again, I was unable to find anything solid, but I noticed that it was 16 weeks since Lando Norris’s first win (where 16 was the main number), and 16 is 4 squared, which is Norris’s car number. After Lando achieved pole position, I took him to win at -140. Not the best odds, but as I suspected, it was a dominant victory.
Then came the Italian Grand Prix. See this video (also linked above) to learn why I picked Charles Leclerc before Qualifying at 14-to-1. I made that video after he qualified 4th, which actually lowered his odds slightly to 15-to-1. Sure enough, McLaren blew their strategy and essentially handed the race to Leclerc, who has shown an exceptional ability to manage his tyre wear this year.
The odds of me winning the last three races at those odds are 432-to-1. That’s incredible. It seems impossible to continue this run, doesn’t it? I can’t be right EVERY week, can I?
So who do I have for Azerbaijan? Or am I going to pussyfoot it and claim victory if either Norris or Leclerc win?
I’m going with Lando Norris, whose odds now sit at +125. However, I’m hedging this bet with Leclerc at +400. So if Lando wins, I’ll come out plenty ahead, and I’ll lose just a small amount if Leclerc wins. I will only claim a victory, however, if Lando pulls it out.
