What an easy win for Max. He had amazing start and after it he left no questions about who is going to win today. And some serious shit when he tried not to let Bottas to make fastest lap. Never seen anything similar. It's incredible how much even 1 point matters for teams this season. In general, it was boring race and Perez chasing Hamilton was only interesting thing.. Local hero didn't managed to overtake him, but 3rd palce at home race isn't bad result. Poor Bottas - lost 1st place in start, then hitted by Ricciardo and then stuck whole race behind him. And in constructor's championship, there is just 1 point between Mercedes and Red Bull.
Oh yes, Bottas is the biggest loser of the race. First, lose the start, then get hit by Ricardo, then get a loss of time with a wheel change at the pit stop. I wouldn't be too surprised if the apogee of all this would be the failure to get the best lap, but still the heavenly forces had a little mercy on the Finnish pilot and still the best lap was shown on the very last lap  I think Verstappen was not very disappointed by the fact that Mercedes still took away 1 point from him for the best lap  The Red Bull cars were clearly better during the race and Hamilton could well have been left without a second place. However, it is still unknown how the race would have turned out and what the layouts would have been if Bottas had not been knocked out of the fight at the very beginning. |

Milan is drawing a successful graphic in Serie A, but it could not show the same success in the champions league. They were able to collect 1 point in 4 matches. They are in the last row of group B. I even see the probability of finishing the group in third place low. It may be an early farewell from Milan. Beşiktaş could not score in Group C. They lost the chance to leave the group and the chance to continue in the European league. Liverpool and Ajax won 4/4 in these two groups and left the group with 12 points.
Nevertheless,am still seeing roma and juventus as the top teams to battle for the Titans of italians seria A. Milan has only had a chance to surpass few club in seria A doesn't guarantee their overtime success. If you said that they can also venture in the champions league,have you thought about how many clubs are they and the history of the former championship? Can Milan defeat Chelsea on their current form? If yes,then they can sail through In principle, no one considered Chelsea such a likely favorite of the last Champions League draw, but step by step the team first reached the final, and then was able to win the main match. And as for a separate match, with due luck and diligence, any team in the current Champions League draw can win against any team and the example of the Sheriff from Tiraspol shows this perfectly. Moreover, we are talking about a not-so-weak team like Milan, which is one of the two leaders of the not-so-weak Italian championship. Therefore, I can calmly and responsibly say that in one particular match Milan could well beat Chelsea in its current form. |

Spanish football is falling, no Cristiano Ronaldo at Real madrid and no Leonel Messi at Barcelona viewing pleasure is low at la liga with mbappe not coming to the league and Hazard not performing the tricks he did at stamford bridge, atletico madrid, Real madrid and Barcelona are not prestigious any more and their fans should not expect highly, Xavi will be announced soon to Barcelona, Real madrid and atletico madrid already have ancelotti and Diego simeone respectively but the charisma to the league is gone and any results even if it's these spanish giants losing is expected.
Who cares about Messi and Ronaldo? La Liga is past them now. La Liga was there and was entertaining before Messi or Ronaldo came into the scene, so it will just be fine even after. It's only the Messi and Ronaldo fanboys who think a league is all about those to players... Come on.
Real Betis only have 10 players, it's a shame if Sevilla can't score 1 or 2 more goals LOL
They have 2 goals La Liga will continue to be interesting for its fans even in the absence of such megastars as Ronaldo and Messi. Another question is that outsiders disinterested fans can simply switch their interest to other championships and this is unlikely to be a big plus for the Spanish championship. In any case, the popularity of Real Madrid and Barcelona and, accordingly, the entire Spanish championship has been held and is held not only and not so much on their interesting game, but on the number of titles in the Champions League that they won largely thanks to the game of Ronaldo and Messi, thanks to which these players have gained their current so high status. And the whole question is whether it is possible to build on the current La Liga players. |

https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1457040408484192256Christian Falks says that the former Leipzig coach Ralf Rangnick is one of the candidates to be the Manchester United manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is very likely to get sacked after losing to Manchester City by 2-0 and having a terrible performance. Manchester United are already in the search of a new manager now and I think it is the right thing to do. But I think that the manager is not the only problem at this team. There are some other in-team problems I think and they should solve them too. playing against Manchester city, the odds were never in favor of Manchester united and the board knows it too...if a win came through yesterday then that would have been a bonus but this time around Ole and team werent lucky. As for Ole being sacked I say if the next 4 games coming , come without any wins i dont see any room for giving him more time to manage the team his gone ! And the suggested replacement where did you find our man can he really coach a big club as United...coaching players like Ronaldo, i dont think so, but it might be worth a shot  It will be interesting to find out whether Solskjaer will be allowed to continue working in the upcoming matches or whether Manchester United will really have a new coach. There are big doubts about this. In such matters, the most important thing is not to miss and find a worthy candidate to manage a club with such a rich history and ambitions as Manchester United. In any case, whoever is appointed the new head coach, he will face a lot of pressure and inflated expectations from his future activities. With all due respect to the German specialist, I am not sure that the candidacy of Ralf Rangnik is the most optimal in the current situation and will suit everyone. By the way, his candidacy seems to have surfaced in connection with Newcastle and it seems that the specialist himself expressed interest in cooperation, but this did not lead to anything concrete. |

It seems almost everyone is quite surprised to see the result of the West Ham vs Liverpool match. If we look at the match statistics, it is clear that Liverpool dominated the match. Even Liverpool made a lot of shots in that match, but indeed the West Ham team work was very solid, so it's very difficult for Liverpool to score goals. What I admire about Moyes is that he can burn the spirits of West Ham players, it was very visible how the fighting spirit of West Ham players faced Liverpool. Even though football is full of surprises and anything can happen, West Ham's victory against Liverpool still surprised everyone. Liverpool's defeat makes Liverpool's points are only two points different from Arsenal who are in 5th position, after Arsenal beat Watford. So Liverpool's next game against Arsenal will be very interesting, we'll see if Arsenal can continue their positive results so far, but usually Arsenal often find it difficult to face big teams.
So far, no points are awarded to the standings for statistical data and they are also not going to do this in the foreseeable future. Therefore, while the old-fashioned way, the victory goes to the team that missed less than the opponent Therefore, this time Liverpool became an illustration of this principle, next time it will be someone else. Liverpool missed their chance to get close to Chelsea and on the contrary let Arsenal get close to them. Arsenal has gradually improved its position and has already risen to fifth place and can overtake Liverpool itself if it wins the full-time match. But recently Arteta was also scolded as passionately and fiercely as Ole Gunnar is being scolded now, but time has passed and the team's results have become much better. |

Both of the teams scored in the Milan - Inter game in the first half already and it is halftime now. The current score is 1-1 and it was obvious that both teams would score easily in this game. Inter scored first and Milan answered in 6 minutes. And Lautaro Martinez missed a penalty which was a big opportunity for Inter to get ahead. So far in the game, Inter seemed to be more effective in attacking. If Milan don't start taking the control, then Inter might even get a win here, who knows?
Finally, the match AC Milan vs Inter ended in a draw and this is a fairly fair result for both teams. Moreover, statistically the two teams are not much different, maybe Inter supporters are a little disappointed with Lautaro Martinez's missed penalty, if the penalty is not missed Inter can win the game. With this draw AC Milan is still leading by 7 points from Inter, and AC Milan is still unbeaten until week 12, it's a great achievement for AC Milan. And Napoli also drew with Verona, with this the competition in Serie A is getting more interesting, because Napoli and AC Milan still have the same points. It is very difficult to keep up the pace without losing points at all, especially for a team like Napoli, which clearly does not look head and shoulders above everyone in its composition. Therefore, losses at such a long distance are inevitable and, in principle, one should be glad that this is not a loss and yet at least one point for a draw was obtained. Milan played already knowing the outcome of the match between Napoli and Verona, but was able to win under the order and become the sole leader, as I assumed earlier. Which proves once again that the derby is a separate matter and there are nuances there that are not directly related to the tournament layouts before the match. |

Hot weekend in F1 indeed. Let's see how FP2 will end as the start is only 30 min away and I think RedBull won't sand bag this practice season as they say that they will bring all the power they got in order to take the pole and the victory but so far it seems that every practice Redbull have no power at all and suddenly when it's qualify day , they have extra power and all of that so no wonder Toto Wolff said that this championship will be decided by a crash because no one wants to inspect the RedBull car between practice season and qualify/race day. Strange ? yes. But this kind of "games" were always present in F1 so maybe Redbull simply doesn't want to show what they got because I'm sure that Mercedes can copy that in about 24 hours and improve it.
yeah this year the practice sessions have not been the benchmark for what we are going to see in qualification or raceday. when you look at Maclaren times they see them both not showing their full potential RB cars will be looking to show their full potential in Qualification specially Checo who have not been so impressing in quali needs top 3 qualification to help Max with championship and constructors championship as its still on the table despite that Bottas have been performing well lately just right after announcing his move to Alfa Romeo. The most important thing is to keep the balance and not to overdo it, because the main task of the practice sessions is not to dust the opponent's head, but to test the possibilities and see the behavior of your car on the track and, if necessary, have time to make changes to the settings of the car before qualifying. No simulators will be able to recreate all the specifics of a certain race track. The increased results of Bottas can also be explained by the fact that the pilot is no longer constrained by the need to prove every time with his results the validity of his stay in Mercedes to the team bosses, fans and the media, and some sports anger that the choice was not made in his favor. |

PSG's next match will be away to Manchester City, even though they lost in that match, I think PSG's points in Group A are still safe.
but they had to fight against Club Bruges in the last match of the group stage,because Club Bruges still have a chance to qualify if their next fixture can win the match.
I think it will be a big match. The first leg Man City lost 2-0. But looking at the next match I prefer Man City's style of play will better tahan first leg . The second game will be different maybe Man City will win. They will play in England. Of course, the victory this match will deliver Man City to qualify for the next round. While PSG also have to watch the match between Brugge vs Leipzig. If brugge lose then they will calm down a bit. But if Brugge win then the decision will still be in the last group match. Manchester City must be extremely mobilized in this game, because winning will remove all questions about reaching the next stage of the tournament and ensure first place in the group. Moreover, the desire to recoup for the defeat in the previous match with Paris Saint-Germain should be mixed with the factor of the home stadium. However, Brugge still has to win its match with Leipzig, which by no means looks like an unconditional result and Leipzig will certainly want to intervene in the fight for at least third place in the group in order to leave some chances for the Belgian club to continue the fight for getting into the next stage of the Champions League. |

Even though in the Champions League AC Milan played badly, up to 4 games have not won at all. But in Serie A AC Milan are a different team, in 11 games without losing a single it is a very good achievement. So this week's match between AC Milan vs Inter looks like AC Milan is likely to win, AC Milan certainly does not want to lose points against Inter. Likewise with Inter who are 7 points behind AC Milan and Napoli, definitely want to catch up on the points that AC Milan and Napoli have. What is certain is that both teams will try to win the match, and it will be very interesting to watch. I believe both teams will score goals in this match, and my prediction is AC Milan who will win the game.
By the way, Inter are not so bad either and suffered only one defeat in the match against Lazio, having achieved a positive result in all other matches. The Champions League clearly shows that according to the results shown there, it is hardly possible to say that the level of Milan is clearly higher than the level of Inter. In addition, this is a classic example of a derby, where the arithmetic of previous matches may not play a decisive role. Moreover, this match is a great chance for Inter to get very close to their arch-rivals in one step at once. Therefore, I do not have such confidence in Milan's victory and I am more inclined to a draw in this match. |

Conte can build new team on Tottenham Hotspur because many star pkayer there and Conte can continue with great team before wi dow transfer opening, different if Conte become and have agreement with Newcastle United because waiting on January for wi dow transfer open and need hard work how to make star player want play for Newcastle United without play on champion league and now they have bottom position on the table.
It is true. In Tottenham, Conte doesn't rely on signing top players on the next transfer window only, he can optimize the current players there. There are already some top attackers in Tottenham such as Kane, Son, Lucas Moura. And they also have some good defenders such as Eric Dier, Sanchez, and Ben Davies. While for midfielders, Tottenham has Alli, Ndombélé, and Sessegnon. Having these players must be very helpful for Conte. If they can perform well, Tottenham doesn't need too many players to sign in the next transfer window. The level of the current Tottenham does not go to any comparison with the current level of Newcastle, despite all future financial injections from the Saudi owners. It is almost impossible to expect that after the new year in January a giant transfer company will be held and the composition of Newcastle will immediately become at the level of such clubs as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and other giants. Therefore, it is understandable that Conte does not want to waste time in the fight for survival, which Newcastle expects in the near future and immediately join the fight at the top of the table, especially with the promised 150 million euros to strengthen the squad in the winter transfer window. |

Xavi is 41 years old, of course, this is still young in terms of coaches, but ideas are needed and I also believe Xavi can do brilliant things in future players and ideas are very much awaited and much expected at Barcelona.
There is no problem with Xavi age, 41 looks fine as the age for an ideal coach. Although Xavi experienced his career as a coach is quite early, but he has a lot of experience as a player. It is almost the same as people ever doubt when Zidane managed Real Madrid for the first time, but finally Zidane can show his capacity as a great coach. I predict that Xavi can do the same way as Zidane ever did in Real Madrid. He can be successful as a player and also as the coach in Barcelona. We all know that Xavi is a brilliant one and has a big role once he played as a Barcelona player. It means he probably has many ideas to improve Barcelona play of style. Specifically with regard to Xavi, the most important problem is not the young age, but the lack of experience in leading a team in more competitive leagues. With all due respect to the Qatar championship, it is still probably not the level of the top European championships to which the Spanish championship still belongs. The example of Zidane is rather an exception to the rule and not always successful football players turn out to be equally successful coaches in a short period of time. Koeman's latest example in relation to Barcelona is a vivid example of this, especially since Zidane did not have problems of this kind at Real Madrid, which Xavi is now expecting in Barcelona. |

I can only keep the Manchester United team ahead because it is their home match. Maybe they can win with the benefit of home. But they also conceded five goals in the home match against Liverpool. Guardiola is more experienced and smart than Ole. He knows how to perform well with the team. Varane and Pogba will be absent from the Manchester United squad today. My guess is that if Ole can’t sort out the match plan properly today they will be defeated.
Based on statistics, United will be better than City. Of the total meetings between these two teams, United's number of wins is much higher than Citi's. But, to be honest I don't think in this game they will beat City as easily as they imagined. The last game between Liverpool really disappointed me. Despite playing at their home, United showed a very weak condition in terms of teamwork. I have to say it is not really logical to check their historical situation. After all United has been a subpar team compared to City for a while now, sure there were a long time when they were actually doing a lot better for decades if you go back too much, but it is not something that I would actually expect to see once again and we haven't in a few years at least, 4 years or so it has been clear. This is why I believe that we should probably go with City pick here. Liverpool 5-0 game showed the world that we are watching a United team that is not bad, but not ready to be at the top neither and that is why I expect city to win with a big big margin. As long as you can remember the match with Liverpool, this match has already become an unpleasant, but already a story. After the match with Liverpool, two matches have already been played and the results of Manchester United were positive. In addition, the derby is a separate species and it has slightly different principles that are not directly related to the situation around. The most important thing is that the team did not slip into a long spiral of failures after the failure in the match with Liverpool and copes quite successfully with solving problems, even if the match is very difficult. Also, a lot in the match with Manchester City will depend on how Ronaldo shows himself in the game. |

I'm not sure about AC Milan because they look helpless against any team in group B. So far AC Milan still has a chance to qualify for the Europa League but they have to work hard for it and the only condition to qualify for the Europa League is by win the next 2 match. But obviously it won't be an easy game as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are strong rivals for AC Milan.
It will be very difficult to face from the remaining UCL matches so it is possible that AC Milan will not qualify for the Europa League because I am sure they will not be able to fight Liverpool and Atletico Madrid who are so strong as rivals, one of them must work hard to win because I admit that Milan in Serie A is no longer in doubt, but with the UCL and European leagues like that there is no hope and Milan must really focus on Serie A as the trophy he is aiming for this season. In any case, Milan should try to achieve maximum results in the remaining matches, because not only good money is at stake, but also such a thing as the reputation of the club. I think that the fans of the club will not be the most delighted if a club with such winning traditions remains in last place with the only point scored. It will be possible to concentrate on the domestic championship after the completion of the group stage matches, given that there are only two of them left. In any case, despite the difficult situation of the club, the situation can still unfold in three different scenarios. Reaching the 1/8 finals in the most favorable scenario, a worse option with an exit to the Europa League and the way of an outsider in the third variant |

Newcastle are now in the relegation zone and in 10 games in the Premier League without a win it is a very poor form. It is true that it is necessary to bring in some new players to strengthen the Newcastle squad, but the main thing for Newcastle management to do is to immediately find a quality coach.
To be honest I am quite surprised if it is true that Newcastle finally chose Eddie Howe as the new coach of Newcastle. After several main candidates such as Conte, Emery and Fonseca have failed to get. Newcastle with strong finances chose Eddie Howe was a bad choice, because I don't see Eddie Howe being able to get Newcastle out of the relegation zone. Without a good manager, it seems difficult to get out of the relegation zone.
If Newcastle are right to choose Eddie Howe as new manager, I don't see Newcastle's management being serious about removing Newcastle from the relegation zone.
I am also very surprise with this selection because right now they need someone who can bring them out of relegation and having some very good things in very short span of time about Eddie Howe he is not familiar with these things just have one job which also lost due to team's relegation, so it's big risk by Newcastle new management. But, after reading some details I am feeling they are having no choice because Conte is already settled with Tottenham and Emery and Fonseca are also not interested, so this is mission impossible for new coach and management if they fail in this experiment then surely they have to go in Championship for one season because after having Eddie and giving him sometime they can end in some horrible result. It just shows that famous coaches do not want to break away from their seats in clubs and risk their professional reputation in order to try to pull Newcastle not just from the bottom of the standings, but from the relegation zone in general. Despite the fact that, according to Sky sports, the contract with Eddie Howe will be concluded for a period of two and a half years, it is clear to everyone that this is most likely only a temporary option and the main task of the coach will be to maintain the club's participation in the Premier League and then most likely other vacant candidates will be considered on the coaching labor exchange. |

Milan really have one of their toughest matches this weekend against Inter. Things have been so far so good for Milan. They won ten times in their eleven Serie A matches and lost none until now. This match has the potential to be their first loss but I still want to believe in Milan here. Maybe they will have a really big difficulty against Inter but they should be able to get at least one point.
it's a pretty hot derby and well worth watching. I actually assume that Milan will win this match because indeed they are favored by playing at home and with full support from the fans. in the champions league indeed they can't do much but serie a is different, this season they have become a superior club even in the last 5 matches milan managed to winstreak and this is a positive thing that can ignite the spirit of milan to be able to win this match I agree here surely it's going to be very hot and entertaining Derby because AC Milan current form is also very impressive in this season and Inter is defending their title with some poor start of this season. AC Milan current form clearly favoring them but Inter's history is very good against them, they will try their best for having full points and close deficit between them and top two teams in League. In case of lost gape could be 10 points which mean they could be much behind them and their hopes of having successful title defend. Napoli is also had good match against Verona which can give them full points and some better gape between other teams for having very good for staying at top. Personally, it is difficult for me to name a favorite in this meeting, because on the one hand Milan has a great series in the championship with wins and only one draw. On the other hand, any series tends to end sometime and a derby with an irreconcilable rival is perfect for the role of the finisher of the series. Inter has shown good results in recent matches and, unlike Milan, has already improved the situation in the Champions League and has a good chance of reaching the next stage of the tournament. Therefore, Napoli has a great chance to become the sole leader of the championship again in the event of a favorable outcome of their match and a loss of points by Milan. But Verona is also a difficult opponent, as demonstrated by the win against Juventus in the last round. But I still think the chances of Napoli with Verona are more preferable, also taking into account the home status of the match. |

Laporta's decision to choose Xavi is a very smart decision.. and I consider it a decision to suck the heat of the Catalan street, which has become angry, as if he has lost confidence in Laporta from the ground up, especially after Messi's departure.
Laporta appointed Xavi because he is the only one with whom the fans will be patient and will be convinced of the idea of renewal and building the team, and he is the only one who will not hit his car in the street as happened with Koeman .. and he is the only one who will not be criticized in the way that would have happened if another coach was appointed Therefore, the new coach will keep the headache away from Laporta for at least the next two years. This decision shows that the president played on the emotions of the masses more than any special interest in Barca.
In the end, everything will still depend on the results of the team being shown. And if the results do not match the expected ones, then the fans will demand another coach. Another question is that the credibility in Xavi's case is much greater, but there is nothing worse than disappointed hopes and I don't think Xavi will have a couple of years to work at the club if the team's results are bad. Therefore, indeed, part of Laporta's headache about the coaching issue should disappear in the near future. However, if the information is correct, then by 12 million euros for the termination of the contract with Koeman, Barcelona will also have to fork out 1 million euros for compensation for Al Sadd so that the club releases Xavi. |

I wonder which one of the possibilites will come true in the Bayern Munich - Freiburg game this weekend. Will Bayern Munich destroy Freiburg in their home game just as they did the same to Bayer Leverkusen? Or will Freiburg make them huge difficulties and maybe even win a victory? We will find it out in only 2 days. Until then, my assumption is that Bayern Munich won't have a big advantage in the first half as Freiburg will be able to resist. But in the other half, things will start changing and Bayern Munich will defeat them by two goals at least.
Bayern has been the most interesting team in Europe so far. Either they win by 5 goals or they lose by 5 goals. But on paper, Bayern looks like the better team in my opinion. Also, Freiburg has been playing quite well, but Bayern on their day can thrash any opponent you throw at them. More so ever, Lewandowski is in good form. So I guess this match will go in favor of Bayern. Bayern knows how to intrigue the audience this season A positive factor for Bayern will be that the game will be played at the home stadium and the recent victory in the Champions League should also add to the mood of the club. On the other hand, a 5-2 victory over Benfica can dull the smell of blood and the desire to rehabilitate in front of the fans for the failure with Gladbach In any case, Bayern's chances are considered higher and Freiburg will need to try hard to take points in this match. But at stake is the opportunity to match the leader of the Bundesliga with a favorable combination of circumstances for Freiburg and therefore everything is possible. |

I wonder if Ole Solskjaer will get sacked in case Manchester United lose against Manchester City in a huge derby this Saturday. But maybe, the board can decide to give one more chance to him in that case. Anyway, Manchester City is the favourite side in this match I think. Maybe they lost to Crystal Palace but this doesn't show that they are weak. They are still very strong and showed it last night by finishing Club Brugge with a 4-1 result. I don't expect them to lose here.
He always got second chance and I see last warning for Ole when Manchester United defeat by Liverpool on Old Trafford with bigger score 0-5, but what happen keep safe Ole place on Manchester United until right now although got winning on Tottenham Hotspur last week and draw with Atlanta on champion league. I think keep safety place position for Ole how ever result get by Manchester United loss or draw. But keep waiting how long Ole keep safety place on Manchester United. And this is good, because everyone should be entitled to a second chance to correct a mistake Everything depends on the team's performance in the upcoming derby and, to a greater extent, the final score. I think that a draw and a small loss will leave Solskjaer at the helm of the teams and only a loss with an indecent score, such as a recent loss in a meeting with Liverpool, can fire the coach. Manchester United has a rich history and great ambitions, so any coach at its head cannot feel in constant confidence and only good team results can guarantee safety for a while. The only thing is that the club should not rely constantly on Ronaldo's role as a savior in the last minutes of the match and achieve the result more confidently. |

^ Barca has fallen into a loop. They cannot spend, so they cant get good players, so they cannot win, so cannot get the prize money, so they cannot spend. The only way to recover from this is to give it time. And I agree with you that for the next 2 or 3 years they need to aim for the top 4 spots and try to survive their best in the CL so they can at least get a sizeable amount of money from that. Nothing but only time can heal this crisis of Barca.
Barca already has players that are good enough to show result but the club needs a qualified coach. Real Sociedad is taking the 1st spot in La Liga table but the team doesn't have star players. It's quite interesting to see the La Liga standings this season, the clubs that used to be at the bottom and middle of the standings are now starting to dominate the top La Liga standings and it looks like maybe only Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are the two big clubs that are competitors for teams like Real Sociedad, Real Betis and Sevilla, it seems that now small teams are starting to take advantage of the barcelona slump in the league and they are trying to compete to win the La Liga trophy so far which has been dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid. As for the chances of Real Sociedad, we can say something concrete only after the end of the championship and there is absolutely no certainty that Sociedad will be able to stay at the head of the standings by this time and win the title. Because in this situation, coaching talent alone is not enough for such a long distance, and the factors of the level of players and the depth of the squad can also play a decisive role. Therefore, such victories, when thanks to the coach's talent in choosing a strategy and selecting a team of not the best players in the league achieve a result in the form of a title, are quite rare and it is difficult to put this on stream, if only because richer clubs will then lure the best players of the upstart club to themselves. |

There is not much time left for the new race weekend in Mexico to start. This is the home Grand Prix for the Red Bull's experienced driver Sergio Perez. He has a really fast car now and he would like to look for a chance to win the race here of course as it is a really meaningful race for him. But he has a really hard job to do here as he has very tough rivals like Verstappen, Hamilton and Bottas. I'm looking forward to watching the race!
@Spack17 I don’t think Sergio will win it, because he’s been tasked to play as a backup driver for Verstappen. However he maybe emotional about winning this, and hence it’ll be interesting if the team allows him to beat Verstappen for it, and of course he’ll have to also defeat a worthy opponent like Hamilton too. I agree with you. Perez's job is not to win the race but helps Max win the race - which he has been doing very reliably so far. There is no doubt that he will have emotions regarding this track but I don't think that Red Bull will want to switch roles just so he can win in his home track as there is a lot at stake in Red Bull management's POV. I also think Perez will try to give Verstappen an advantage over the Mercedes and take points away from Hamilton. If Perez is in front of Verstappen, he will probably let him overtake even without team order. Perez definitely wants a long-term contract with RedBull and also for RedBull to become world champion. He will only get the win if Verstappen is further behind and can take points away from Hamilton. It all depends on how the race develops for Max and if the race develops unsuccessfully for Verstappen, then Perez has chances to win on the home track. Another question is that in addition to Verstappen, there are Hamilton and Bottas, as well as McLarens and Ferraris, who, firstly, clearly do not want to let Perez and Verstappen arrange an inter-fight between themselves, and secondly, they also want to take a place above Perez. But all this cannot cancel out the fact that Perez will be set up in a special way at the Mexican Grand Prix at home in front of his fans and will try to squeeze the most out of himself and even a little more for this |
