Podium Prophets

Podium Prophets is a free F1 prediction game built for friend groups who want to compete across every race weekend without the spreadsheet headaches.

Before each qualifying and race session, you pick your predicted finishing order. After the session, scoring is fully automatic. Exact position calls earn the most points, but being one or two positions off still counts. Nobody has to volunteer as the scorer, chase people for their picks, or update a shared spreadsheet on Monday morning.

What makes Podium Prophets different from other F1 prediction apps is that it combines predictions with actual session analysis. Most prediction games give you a leaderboard and nothing else. When it comes to actually preparing your picks (studying practice pace, comparing qualifying runs, understanding which teams suit a particular circuit), you're on your own.

Podium Prophets has that analysis built in. Race pace charts, long-run stint data, qualifying breakdowns, team pace comparisons, and circuit intelligence profiles are all available inside the app. You can study the data, form your prediction, submit it, and then after the session review what your analysis got right or wrong. That feedback loop is how casual guessing turns into informed prediction skill over time.

Leagues are private and fully configurable. Your league leader sets the scoring rules: point values for exact, one-off, and two-off positions, whether sprint sessions count, whether championship predictions are enabled, and how carry-forward penalties work for missed sessions. Every league plays by its own system.

The app started as a solo project to replace a friend group's Excel-based prediction league. The scoring was manual, the standings were always late, and nobody wanted to be the admin. Podium Prophets automates all of that, and the project has grown well beyond the original group.

It covers every session type (qualifying, race, sprint qualifying, sprint), supports championship predictions for the full season alongside session picks, and is actively expanding. The public roadmap shows what's coming next: more prediction types like safety cars and custom league-specific predictions, configurable grid depth, global public leagues, and user profiles.
