F1 office pool
The F1 office pool that runs itself
Someone always ends up the unofficial F1 office pool commissioner, and one missed weekend collapses the whole thing. Podium Prophets is a free F1 pick em that scores every prediction automatically, makes every league configurable, and means nobody opens a spreadsheet on a Monday morning. One invite link and the whole office is in.
Scoring runs itself
Every qualifying, every race, every sprint scored automatically the moment F1 publishes results. No spreadsheet formulas, no manual transcription, no commissioner staying late on a Friday.
Always-current leaderboard
League standings refresh after every session. Nobody asks on Monday what the standings are — they're already there.
Nobody falls off on a busy week
Email reminders before each session. Carry-forward scoring keeps the last submitted prediction (with a small penalty), so a busy week doesn't wipe someone off the leaderboard.
Built-in session analysis
Race pace, long-run data, qualifying breakdowns, telemetry — built into the prediction flow. The office data nerds drop the Python, everyone else picks smarter than a gut feeling.
Your rules, not a rigid template
Every league season is independently configurable. Point values, sprint toggle, championship predictions, carry-forward penalty — every office plays exactly the way they want.
The clipboard-Excel office
- One person collects predictions over Slack or email each weekend
- Same person (or another volunteer) hand-scores everyone against official results
- Standings file gets updated and re-shared to the channel
- A single misspelled driver name throws the whole weekend off
- When the commissioner takes leave, the league grinds to a halt
After the switch
- Everyone submits their own P1-P10 before the session
- Scoring is instant and automatic when results come in
- Standings are always current — nobody asks where they stand
- Email reminders catch the people who are slammed at work
- The league survives the commissioner's vacation — it admins itself
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up an F1 office pool?
Sign in with Google, create a private league, share the invite link in Slack, Teams, email, or wherever your coworkers hang out. Everyone signs themselves up and submits their own picks — no manual admin. Takes a few minutes.
Is the F1 office pool free?
Yes. The full prediction system — leagues, scoring, session analysis, championship predictions, sprint weekends — is free forever. No premium tier, no ads, no credit card.
How many people can I have in one league?
There's no upper cap on league size. Anywhere from a 5-person team to a 100-person department or the whole company works fine. One user can join up to 5 different leagues per season — one for the office, one with friends, one with family, whatever fits.
What if someone misses a race weekend?
Nobody gets zeroed out for one busy weekend. The system carries forward the last submitted prediction with a small penalty, so consistent players don't get separated from people who skip a session. The league commissioner can configure the penalty amount or turn it off entirely.
How much time does it take per week?
As a player: 2 minutes per session if you want to fire and forget, or 15-20 minutes if you want to dig into session data and pick smart. As admin: zero. Scoring runs itself, leaderboards update themselves, invites get sent once and that's it.
Can we use custom scoring like our old prediction sheet?
Yes. Every league season is independently configurable. Set your own point values for exact / one-off / two-off predictions, toggle sprint inclusion, championship predictions, and carry-forward penalties. Most spreadsheet scoring schemes can be replicated one-to-one.
The office F1 pool, on autopilot
Spin up your office private league, drop the invite link in Slack, and never open another spreadsheet to score a prediction.
