Ferrari is shining right now but probably RedBull and Mercedes are hiding.
It is not only to be on top for Ferrari, but it is also very reliable in its mechanic, has no problems so far, AND is very easy to set it up.

We have the impression that Ferrari can go in the track and to the time with only 1-2 laps.

Tomorrow will be the last day of the tests, will they push?

Monring session.

So far teams have a lot of problems with the management of the tires.

lap timing quickly increases lap after lap.

Some teams use one driver in the morning and one in the afternoon while others use one driver one than the second driver the day after and both on third days.

Different strategies.

I don't think teams can copy each other at least for this year, the cars are too much different from each other.

They can easily copy the mirror thing they used, but for the sides of the car, they can before the end of the year.

If a team wants to copy them they need to change all the mechanical inside, they can't just copy the outside.

And we know it is a surprising thing but we don't know if it will be the best solution, for example, they are already talking about possible overheating problems.

I get it, this was the strategy of the Mercedes, to get the secret car on the second week, it is the second time they did it also in 2020.

But isn't to risky? I mean they already lost 1 week of tests in this car.

The new Mercedes is unique for sure but it will fast/faster than the other cars? Who knows. Bigger cars can use more air to its advantage.

Morning times, Haas got a problem with their transfer logistics and they lost the morning, they asked if they can do a test Sunday to recover their loss.

Not so easy games for Juventus and Inter, especially for Juventus and the 10 missing players.

After the 1st leg, nobody was expecting this result for sure.
In the first leg, PSG could easily win 3-0.

Never underestimate a Lion. A lion will always be a lion and it is never concerned about the sheep.
Hala Madrid.

Unexpected indeed I thought they were going for Giovinazzi, even 1-year break in F1, the duration Magnussen got, is a lot of time.
Anyway, good luck to him.

Final test from tomorrow, Mercedes is rumored to have a lot of new things coming up.

Game 1:  16' 1-0 Southampton
Game 2:  16'  2-1 São Paulo FC
Game 3:  16'  1-1

I wrote it wrongly yesterday.

The GP of Imola will be in the calendar UNTIL 2025 from this year and not FROM 2025.

As predicted Inter is out from the Champions League and now they can focus in the final part of the season and easily win the SerieA.

Tomorrow we will have the game of the games between Real and PSG, and after tomorrow every day will be a good day where we can know where Mbappe will play the next year.

Actually, it is 15 games without losses.
If we hypothetically remove the first 4 games of the season, Juventus is 1st ahead even to inter.

Maybe they needed only some time for adaptation.
But the squad is still weak and they need to change at least 2 players in the midfield to be able to compete with anyone.

It is official, Imola will be back in F1 from 2025.
It is a historical track but I really don't like it, hard to overtake.

Haas may go for Giovinazzi or Magnussen for replacing Mazepin.

We are in the final week ok the F1 test and most of the cars will uncover secrets this week.

The test will be in Bahrain, where the 1st race of the season will take place.
8 hours per day since Thursday.

Also, is it rumored about (already) an irregular car, in this case, Redbull.

I don't think he needs a cut on his salary.

Can't find a reliable source about it and Pogba should earn around 20m € with taxes, so it means 10 net.
With the current taxation in Italy, it means 13m to Pogba and it is a normal salary for Juventus.

All above this IF he earns 20m €.

Milan won and now they are again ahead in the league.
They are 2 points above inter which has 1 less played game.

Inter is still the favorite for the final win but they can't make any false step during these games considering they will have to play with a probably solid Juventus in an AWAY game in Turin at the end of the season.

The problem of Juventus is just one, since 3 years: The midfield.
They have 3 players (2 are currently broken) and 2 of them ARTHUR and RABIOT are not able to play in Serie A, they can be good players in other Leagues.

If they can't keep the ball in the mid they need to pass the ball to defenders and restart the action. That's why they have high ball possession but they can't score so many goals.

Expecting 2 players next year in the midfield.
