Archived pre-race prediction

Historical forecast. Everything below this point is the model output saved before the race. It is preserved so readers can compare the recommendation with the recorded result above.
Leading boost candidate: George Russell — our highest risk-adjusted expected scorer at the Australian GP (~38 pts). If you use 3x Boost, this is the model's leading candidate. Autopilot instead protects you by applying 2x to your best actual scorer. For value, Gabriel Bortoleto offers the best points per million.

This was the model's $100M Balanced lineup before the race — the mean of deterministic projected points and the risk-adjusted simulation mean — with a normal 2x boost on George Russell. It is preserved for review and is not a current recommendation.
