Now for the Main event we likely didn't see Curtis Blaydes have a hard fight with Tom Aspinall because Aspinall has broken his knee, but for me, Sergei Pavlovich is more devastating than Blaydes, but for sure Curtis Blaydes will be showing some ground game that could be a weakness for Pavlovich, but I will surely look into this for now, and Bobby Green VS Jared Gordon is another fight that I will look into, Jared Gordon is likely the underdog right now but this will surely get more attention to Bobby Green but for this, It is very unpredictable but I will further look on this

On the News Charles Oliveira had an injury so he withdraw from UFC 288 agaisnt Beneil Dariush, well this is not good for many fans expecting Charles Oliveira for that fight, well if Oliveira is not available there are rumors spreading that Beneil Dariush's opponent could now be Islam Makhachev and this could be a title shot for Dariush,

Now the the link for the latest Multi-Master Challenge
UFC Fight Night 222 Multi-Master Challenge



I still prefer Curtis Blaydes on this event  and just like you have said he has wrestling that can counter Sergei Pavlovich Pavlovich doesn't see making any wrestling attempts but for sure he got counters for this and have ready his takedown defense I still see Curtis Blaydes got so many tools that he can use against Pavlovich so for me I would surely go with a well-rounded fighter,

While the veteran Bobby Green will surely fight Jared Gordon, for me Green had sick moves and with that experience inside the octagon with Islam Makhachev I think this will haunt him and could fuel him to change his fighting style for good,

I am indeed excited and curious about what may happen with this fight but here are my prediction and pick for the upcoming fight for the UFC 287

Alex Pereira (+115) VS Israel Adesanya (-135)

For me, this is one of the most awaited fights in this event, and no wonder because these two have a history in their kickboxing career, Where Alex Pereira won those two matches, and history has repeated itself in the MMA rules where Alex Pereira Knocks out Adesanya in what I see Alex Pereira is forcing Adesanya to keep the pace and just aggressively following Adesanya when Adesanya decided to back up this really force Adesanya to always throw a jab, but I think Adesanya's game plan this time is going to be wrestling and he going to drown Alex in his wrestling game, so I would go with Israel Adesanya,
 
Gilbert Burns (-475) VS Jorge Masvidal (+350)

Now, I don't really know Masvidal's style going to Burns for me Gilbert Burns is like a wall if Jorge Masvidal goes to him he would likely get hurt that is what I see well because Jorge Masvidal's age and focus and because he said he would likely retire when he losses in this match, that is why I don't see Masvidal getting focus with their fight, but Masvidal can likely win this if he is still younger because he got a decent takedown defense, but for me, I will go with Gilbert Burns.

Kevin Holland (-260) VS Santiago Ponzinibbio (+210)

This is one great match to watch in my opinion this will be one of the best striking matches to watch because both fighters are knockout artists, but I can see Holland as a great technical striker than Ponzinibbio, for sure that is why this could be a good fight to watch but maybe Holland can mixed up his attack to Santiago, so my pick is Kevin Holland,

Raul Rosas Jr. (-260) VS Christian Rodriguez (+210)

Now, this 18-year-old is surely the favorite and he is still going to be great going forward and getting his age mature, surely Raul Rosas Jr. is one of that kids that has a bright future in the MMA even though if he losses a fight he will just return for more and even stronger than before, for me Raul Rosas Jr. is a great grappler so man Christian Rodriguez might get a chance on 1st but Rosas will surely get on this one and will find a way to capitalized on Rodriguez,

I was out and busy with some other things so I really missed round 3 for F1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2023, it was really a surprising turn of events, and Sergio Perez was what I liked about him from the bottom he gained momentum and passing on to many drivers, but before that he surely have a difficult time in the practice session where he can not control his machine but in the particular race, he did a great job in picking the pace, here is the video on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JngrCqJ84



So now that the F1 Australian Gran Prix is settled here are the results for the whole season so far,

ROUND 1 - Bahrain International Circuit


ROUND 2 - Jeddah Corniche Circuit


ROUND 3 - Albert Park Circuit


Well, the Next ROUND 4 - Baku City Circuit will be on April 28 to 30,

WOW! Israel Adesanya is still the favorite to win I really thought that the odds will be siding for Pereira this time it was not, Israel Adesanya is still the favorite, and we are seeing an Underdog champion, I never expected even in Sportsbet Adesanya is still the favorite, well pretty much I am excited on what may happen right now, some rematch where the champion has lost to the challenger the recent champion can not reclaim his belt anymore because some champion have let their defeat gets into their head so much that they think that they are dominant towards the fight and not admitting their lost but for Israel Adesanya, he is completely OK with his lost and wants to reclaim his title so much as a challenger because there are some recent champion mindset that they think that they are still the champion and that 1st fight was just a fluke, but Adesanya is not treating Pereira that way, he is treating him as a true champion, that is why he is preparing for this fight so eagerly,


Well, I think the odds were on Adesanya's side because he is still winning in those times he owns the rounds and dominating them, even though there are times that Alex Pereira was constantly forwarding to put him to the corner, he always finds a way to trap Pereira with those right and left straight just like in the 1st fight, for me I think people are seeing a chance for Israel Adesanya to redeeming himself, and right now seeing Israel Adesanya not breaking his will, and accepting his lost to Alex Pereira, he is accepting to be a challenger,

And Pretty Alex Pereira is not as invincible as all other fighters things and he is not that scary if you look at his fighting records he is not unbeatable because he certainly still has losses, in his amateur kickboxing career he lost to Sergej Maslobojev, in his Professional Kickboxing career he got plenty more Jason Wilnis, (that is 2 losses) César Almeida, Artem Levin, Artur Kyshenko, Yousri Belgaroui, and his rematch with Artem Vakhitov, and in his debut, to MMA he lost to Quemuel Ottoni, with a rear-naked choke

I was completely busy for the past couple of days and I certainly lost track of what is happening now, I am certainly not aware that the Practice was already starting, so what did I miss, but certainly after a quick review of the current practice here are the results for the FP1 and FP2 for the Australian Grand Prix and Albert Park Circuit,
They really had a hard time with Turn 11 and also the traffic jam that could cause disaster. There are just a lot of happenings in the Australian GP and I can't wait to watch the race and what would happen with them.

It was a hard turn on the gravel part of the corner, but still, Max Verstappen looks really ready in getting the fastest lap again, but yeah I think Sergio Perez is kind of salty about it even though they are teammates there is some kind of drama inside Red Team, but that Turn 11 to 12 was the focus of this Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit,



Now here are the results for the Australian GP at Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, before the real race starts today,

That near crash of Sergio Perez on Nico Hülkenberg though has really cost Perez this run and was struggling with his car on this practice not looking good for the Saudi Arabia winner, while Max Verstappen is setting another fastest record here on Melbourne,

FP1 Results and what did happen

Max Verstappen took a spin complaining about his tires, it was because of the gravels in the turn 11, but again he still finish with the fastest record of 1:18.790, well at 1st thing that I have seen this racer I thought that Keith Thurman was switching career from boxing to F1 do I am the one who's seeing a resemblance? but again Lewis Hamilton landed in 2nd place for the F1 Practice 1 while Sergio Perez landed in 3rd place,






FP2 Results and what did happen

The Red Bull Team was shocked to see an Aston Martin vehicle in front of pretty much Max Verstappen complaining about traffic, while Charles Leclerc on the Ferrari cut Max Verstappen and gained the upper hand and got the 2nd place for this practice run, while Fernando Alonzo was really happy in getting the 1st place but I think because of the rain many surely have struggled a lot, and rain could be a real bummer sometimes, while Logan Sargeant was on the last place because of an electrical problem that got him stuck and could continue,




830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: March 27, 2023, 11:04:08 PM

I have a feeling that Max will dominate from FP1 until Race ending because frankly I don't see Ferrari or Aston produce any type of surprise yet and be competitive but I do see Ferrari improving a bit and hope for more updates on Barcelona track.

Yep , agree with Max vs Perez and I do hope we will get a fight like we had with Hamilton vs Rosberg which was quite the battle until the last corner of Abu Dhabi.

Ohh yes! That would deserve a documentary itself and maybe a movie in the coming decade but a season from Netlix will do for now <3.

I think Max Verstappen just recently became champion in the 2021 season and the last year 2022 season and if he's going to be in 2023, champion it will be the 3rd time Max Verstappen champion, right now he won the Bahrain GP, then landed 2nd place with the Saudi Arabian GP, the next GP will be the Australian GP that may start on April 2nd, right now Red Bull machine are dominating the scene because of its unique design aerodynamic body and lightweight composition that keeps it on top, while Max Verstappen is only delivering with his great driving experience, so pretty much if not Max Verstappen it could be Sergio Pérez of the Red Bull team would be triumphant with the victory,


I also agree with your expectation of a fierce battle between Max and Perez, similar to the Hamilton vs Rosberg rivalry in the past. It's always exciting to see two talented drivers pushing each other to the limit and fighting for every inch of track space.
and yes you are right, a documentary or movie about such a season would definitely be a treat for F1 fans. But for now, we can look forward to an exciting season ahead and hope for some unforgettable moments on the track.

Well, both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are teammates in the Red Bull Team and because they both got an F1 Machine that is aerodynamic and got lightweight bodies these two drivers can surely be equal in terms of, but surely it will be shown in their driving skills if what may happen I think the Aston Martin machine is 2nd to the Red Bull machine that has great features, as back in 2020 when Lewis Hamilton won the championship with their Mercedes machines,

I think uncle Dana White has something to say about who's going to fight who, but surely now that Khamzat Chimaev is moving up to 185 to the Middleweight surely to face Paolo Costa and Alex Pereira, now Colby Covington in the 2nd rank is getting at Leon Edwards, well even though Leon Edwards has express that he doesn't like Colby Covington as an opponent well he is champion now because now he is nit-picking a fight for himself, and Edwards wants Jorge Masvidal, but yeah the UFC and Dana White fuck it they want a Colby Covington VS Leon Edwards fight instead,


I think that Khamzat Chimaev VS Paolo Costa is in the works right now Well Khamzat Chimaev is moving to the Middleweight because of this Then I think if Colby Covington became the champion if he beats Leon Edwards then I think it is alright for Khamzat Chimaev to take the belt for him and in an interview with Ariel Helwani that Colby Covington will be an easy fight for him, and right now he isn't getting any fight yet, because it is Ramadan so Khamzat Chimaev is on fasting that  means it is a hard time for him if he accepted a fight right now without taking any food at all,


Based on his training I think he is enhancing his cardio more and readying into an all-out wrestling for sure, right now he can apply a Merab Dvalishvili kind of style to Alex Pereira, I think he can really dominate him with that kind of tactic it will surely disrupt Pereira just like what Petr Yan, did but what if Alex Pereira would be accustomed to wrestling as well, but surely because he just recently entered MMA I think Israel Adesanya will be more advance than him, just look at that intense training,


I also watch his training it was really intense alright, and I have noticed that Israel Adesanya seems buff right now his muscle seems bigger now, so this is a good sign that he is going to have more durability, and stronger so he can rug dolled Pereira, but yeah he still needs to lower his weigh for the fight he might get heavier but I think this will be very effective on wrestling now,

Toto Wolf basically said that Red Bull having a big domination is not something they should be guilty of, or FIA be guilty of, that's the nature of the sport and they had it from 2014 to 2020 as well and sometimes this happens and its part of the sport. I think he is right and this domination that Red Bull has will go on for as long as other teams can't catch them, if other teams start building better cars and reach to their level then we can have some difference. Look at 2021, sure you can argue if FIA gave the title to Max or not on the last lap, but it is true that Red Bull reached close to Mercedes that year, so other teams should try to do that towards Red Bull as well. This year is already over from just two races, we know Red Bull will win, but they should work on next years car right away.

Adrian Newey's design and ingenuity have proven that his aerodynamic design and lightweight body machine surely if there are some blueprints for the other teams think this is a great machine to copy, well if other teams would surely know the Aerodynamic design to it, but let's not takeout the credit for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez's performance if not for them for taming the Red Bull machines and their talent in great driving this is not possible as well, because we all know the driver is more important and without them that car ingenuity will not surely be shown,

Aston Martin's car seems to be a hybrid between three different cars from last years variants:
Alpine, Mercedes and Red Bull.
Alpine for their pod concept with the curve on the top which is not similar to any of the above mentioned car designs.
Mercedes for the front wing design but has slight variations to make it even more aerodynamically superior in every sense of the word.
And last but certainly not least the Red Bull Racing RB18 in it's over all body structure from the 2022 season.
Hence the joke from Sergio at the end of the premier race back in Bahrain.
https://www.planetf1.com/news/sergio-perez-joins-aston-martin-banter-bahrain

Aston Martin is no joke if they could get the blueprint for RB18 Machine then Fernando Alonso will have a better chance of getting a win as well, but for sure Aston Martin machine are not really behind the great RB18 machine and I never know that the machine has have gone to evolution to make it, even more, better, because it looks just the same as the other vehicles I never imagine that it has a major change at all,

Fernando Alonzo is an honorary RedBull driver back then, whom Aston Martin has acquired I think Fernando Alonzo surely has some common knowledge just like the two RedBull drivers in all getting the win, and pretty much I was really surprise about it,

Surely I was really too surprised by Max Verstappen he climb 13 places and went ahead of Fernando Alonso in lap 25
I don't think it is so much surprising from Max because he won from P14 to P1 last year right? In the Belgian GP 2022? That's what he could do especially with a great car, he really has performed so well. What makes me more amazed is how it was handled with the overtaking. Just wow.

Well, this is the 1st time that I am seeing it because it is the 2nd time watching a race, well like I have said I was a fan of Ferrari back then and well Michael Schumacher was number 1, so that is back in 2003, I think until Fernando Alonso take it on 2005, well Max Verstappen really has great talent and I am still seeing the recent champions that I have missed in the F1 back on 2003, so relearning history I guess, and watching Max Verstappen he surely got  quite the skill in taking the lead one after the other, but I guess he was out of time for the final lap and Fernando Alonso got penalized and manage only the 3rd position, but still Red Bull still on the lead and won with Sergio Pérez as the lead in the Jeddah Corniche Circuit,

Surely I was really too surprised by Max Verstappen he climb 13 places and went ahead of Fernando Alonso in lap 25 while Fernando Alonso has given a penalty which is why George Russell has given the 3rd place, while Fernando Alonzo was very frustrated, on what has happened, while Sergio Pérez was the champion for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2023 the way he handles Jeddah Corniche Circuit and keep the lead for himself was really amazing but the most impressive was really Max Verstappen cutting pass 13 or 12 cars ahead of him, that is one incredible feat for him, here are the video highlights for the race on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxGpi0racMc]Saudi Arabia Grand Prix
Max is Max and he did the exact same thing last season on the Belgian track. The Red Bull machine is just too strong and if they need a climb 15 places they can do it, not a problem. It is really quite remarkable really.
On a dime for what he has achieved so far with only his own team mate one bettering him shows you what their engineers have on their hands.

@boltz Yeah, they have 100% record of having a safety car deployed on that track. So I don't know why I thought Sunday was the day to not have one to cost me a nice payout on my betslip.

@crwth Alonso was very lucky at having the team of Aston Martin requested a review by FIA committee on the 10 second penalty.
https://www.wtf1.com/post/fernando-alonso-podium-reinstated-after-aston-martin-wins-review

Fernando had fun time with what happened as you can see from this hilarious tweet he put out after all was set and done:
https://www.planetf1.com/news/fernando-alonso-funny-tweet-podium-trophy
source: https://twitter.com/GeorgeRussell63/status/1637549585819217923

"Hola boys!"
https://twitter.com/alo_oficial/status/1637827068653084673

He was a good sport and took it all in stride. Didn't seem to be upset or argue too much at having his 100th podium place taken away from him at the time.
Very cool and chill nando!

Max is really Max, well Max Verstappen really has some skill and potential but yes the Machine or the vehicles of Red Bull right now is quite powerful and surely this is the design of Adrian Martin Newey that the machine of red bull is so much powerful Adrian Newey has focused more on Aerodynamics that the body of the car is pretty much lightweight, he ingenuity for Newey have Mercedes and Aston struggle surely a lot,

Fernando Alonzo, instead of being upset about what happened well is surely all fun and loving, while right now we are entering the Australian GP and the track is  Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, and we had a long break because the next game will take place On April April 2

Leon was confident that he was going to be able to defeat Usman again and he did it even if it was by majority decision and not KO as before. I think he has become used to fighting Usman and then not as much fear as he did the first time they fought were Usman dominated three rounds and would have won by decision had Leon not pulled the Magic kick that Knocked him out. Leon's win settles any doubts that he won the first fight by luck, he deserve the Welterweight title.

For Usman, It is going to be another difficult time for him, he really thought he will be able to reclaim his title, a title held for a long time by him. He worked hard for this fight and prevented Leon any chance to knock him out again. It was a close fight and he could have won. Kamaru Usman after the fight said he was not done and was going to get back up, I will be looking to see maybe he will want to fight Leon again.

Very entertaining and competitive fight from both fighters, Good to watch.

What I have seen was a win for Leon Edwards although not a perfect win because he just got to resort to making those fouls and stuff the number of groin kicks, the number of grabbing the glove and grabbing the ring cage, and the eye pokes which have some history with Belal Muhammad to received a No Contest because of an accidental eye poke, because for me if you did it once that is just an accident and you are in the heat of the battle but Do it multiple times well, I think that is something that needs to be penalized but I am not here to judge just because I go with Kamaru Usman this doesn't make me hate Leon Edwards as a champion but what he is doing with those fouls,


It really was an unbelievable event, Herb Dean just call 2 groin kick against Leon Edwards but I have seen 5 in all, and Kamaru Usman was really complaining the whole fight that he can not focus so much, it goes to show how badly Leon Edwards wants to win this, that he resulted in glove grabbing that Herb Dean doesn't see, cage holding to secure those crucial takedowns from Usman, and an eye poke that Herb Dean also doesn't call that Kamaru Usman needs to shrug off because it wasn't called, while there are a groin kick that Usman fell down and struggles but he eventually needs to shrug it off aswell because it wasn't call as a groin kick I really think Kamaru Usman is feeling really frustrated, I really don't know what to feel for the fight but yeah Leon Edwards still has a great performance Through in through despite all of that fouls he committed, Well we can not blame him in the heat of the battle,


It was really an unbelievable event where Herb Dean doesn't see the glove grabbing of Leon Edwards I think Kamaru Usman could protest about this but surely Dana White doesn't like him anymore, so yeah he surely wants Colby Covington to fight and compete for the belt against Leon Edwards like he used to want, or maybe Conor McGregor to be back again just like what Jon Jones did, in the same manner of fashion, but yeah it was really the officials of the UFC that is deciding who's fighting who and not Dana White,

Ferrari is still down in engine, lets see if they can compete.

Excluding RBR, the rest of the grid can be in 1 second-ish


It was clearly going to be domination for Red Bull again, Max Verstappen set up yet again another good record and he is getting used to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit cutting off perfectly to every corner, while Sergio Perez is also OK with it both Red Bull racers surely have some tips for them in navigating to the Jeddah Circuit, while rival Aston Martin Fernando Alonso is having the 3rd position for this 3rd practice, Sad to say I love Ferrari (the car) landed yet again in a close position Charles Leclerc in the 6th position while Carlos Sainz in the 10th position, while Nyck de Vries a driver that didn't drive and set no time,



Verstappen had just had problems with his transmission. He was shifting into third gear then it just locked up on him.
Announcers are saying it could be a drive shaft or a transmission failure in qualifying 2.
This could be detrimental for how the grid formation goes for race. Red Bull needs a new gearbox to fix it.
Alot of people had him being in pole tomorrow but no more. His day is done for qualifying for today.

Even with that kind of problem Max Verstappen really did a great job with the 3 practices and this has assured Red Bull that their 2 drivers will land another 1st and 2nd position tomorrow, this is for sure if there would be just smooth driving and no technical problem with their vehicle because Aston Martin is just behind the corner, and it was said that Fernando Alonso can still drive more than an hour on the Circuit because his car is really performing very well we will surely see what may happen tomorrow,

My pick and prediction for the UFC 286

Kamaru Usman (-260)
Leon Edwards (+210)

For this event, it is very tempting to bet for Leon Edwards because you know his odds and a likely surprise that he may cause for this event, because of what happened in their 1st match, but likely Kamaru Usman is still the favorite to win and I really don't know if Leon Edwards has already change in this fight this is why it is likely hard to predict this fight Leon Edwards could have the champion mentality entering the octagon, for me I will take Kamaru Usman because of his potential and dominant performance on their 2nd game,

Rafael Fiziev (-235)
Justin Gaethje (+195)

Both fighter can fight intelligently, so this is going to be a banger of a fight and likely Justin Gaethje will surely fight with those experience that he has, he will surely go near of Fiziev more cautiously, but for me I will go with Justin Gaethje, Rafael Fiziev is surely not unbeatable, so my pick is Justin Gaethje,

Marvin Vettori (-285)
Roman Dolidze (+230)

Now in this fight, Roman Dolidze doesn't have any game plan he is a kind of fighter that will surely throw everything at his opponent and when Vettori could get a take down Dolidze will surely jump on you now Roman Dolidze have the power he might have the power to knock Vettori in one go, but because Marvin Vettori now has a ground game and pretty much he can defeat guys bigger than him as we have seen to his recent fight with Paolo Costa, he surely have the speed than Dolidze, so my pick is Marvin Vettori,

Funny how Ferrari is going from "this season is screwed " towards " we have such a package that we can continue to improve it during all races from now on" . Well....we're waiting , don't we ? I think all Ferrari fans desire to see them winning a championship one more time but having such a confidence in your car after in first race they had a DNF , makes me thinks maybe they are insane or trying to hide their mistakes or that car really have something special that can be improve during this year... Grin

Not really looking good for the Ferrari team Carlos Sainz landed 7th position on the FP1 while Charles Leclerc landed in the 11th position for the FP1 it was really a struggle for most drivers and for their 1st drive in the Jeddah Corniche Circuit 1st practice run so it is really complicated putting your bet for them and even though Sergio Perez got a hard time in his 1st run he still manages to land on the 2nd spot, while Max Verstappen is putting a great show and making a 1:29.617 time while in the FP2 Perez now landed 3rd, while Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso makes a great job and getting a hang on this Circuit,



Many are really complaining about this track and this Circuit was then modified and has less change than the last one so racers that have an experience in the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, will have a difficult time with these little changes, for many are really having a difficult time in dealing with this Circuit, here are the results for the FP1 and FP2 Pactices you can click the picture for provided videos,

UFC 286: Pre-Fight Press Conference in 17 hours from now for the major event happening in alittle under three days since this UFC starts very early
at 12pm EST for the early premlims. A friendly reminder for those who want to put in their bets for these matches.
UFC 286: Pre-Fight Press Conference from the Official UFC channel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VcOTNgr538

UFC 286: Ceremonial Weigh-In on March 17th in the afternoon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFs2Y_nWydY

Can not wait for this to finally start kicking off tomorrow.


Is it just me or do I feel Leon Edwards is scared inside he is showing the spirit of a fighter but he can not hide his trembling when you look at his hands it kind of gives a trembling vide on him while Kamaru Usman is just calm and ready to do this, that is what I see when I watch the Press Conference It is really a simple one just the 4 fighters non-other else was there,

And with the Weigh-in we still got 22 hours left and I got to see this first before I can get my pick and bet on there, because if there are missed weigh there are some advantages with certain fighters when it comes to wrestling they could just rely on their weight to do its bidding, so that was it,

Here are my full picks for the upcoming UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3 event highlighted in green are my picks,

   
MAIN EVENT

Leon Edwards VS Kamaru Usman

CO-MAIN EVENT

Justin Gaethje VS Rafael Fiziev

MAIN CARD

Gunnar Nelson VS Bryan Barberena
Marvin Vettori VS Roman Dolidze

PRELIMINARY CARD

Muhammad Mokaev VS Jafel Filho


And here is the Multi-Master Challenge,

In all of that fight these 5 that I left for me can surely outstand in this event, but surely I could be wrong, but yeah I might go with Leon Edwards and get his luck back again, in winning this, but you can not look behind the domination of Usman in those 3 rounds,

while the Justin Gaethje fight will be very epic, Justin Gaethje has shown have good striking and also have control over his opponent, but for Rafael Fiziev, this could be a great opportunity to show what he can truly do in this fight,

What makes it challenging is the track itself, for sure. Like the long straights and flowing corners, you really have to be careful by maintaining high speeds while doing those corners you know. There are tight turns that really push you to the edge and I think there would be some action in the actual race or something. The track is definitely hard, and it's a new track so less practice for them and less reference data.

Yup! that is why there are initial Practices so racers that are new to the Circuit or have a new vehicle will be familiar with the curve and when will they turn to corners, I think the 1st practice tomorrow will be crucial for most racers, and their vehicles as well, well the fastest recorded time in the Jeddah Corniche Circuit was and Audi RS 3 LMS TCR (2021) with a time record of 1:16.986 that was driven by Gilles Magnus, in the 2022 WTCR Race of Saudi Arabia event,


Ferrari should be stronger on this track cause they are the fastest on the straight line. Now the thing that will decide if this race will be close is tire management. If Ferrari has better tire degradation then in Bahrain we can have a interesting race in our hand this weekend.

What straight line? I think this Circuit just has 3 or 4 straight lines and I think Jeddah Corniche Circuit is composed of 24 corners that are really absurd for new racers, but I guess F1 vehicles can out-maneuver this kind of circuit, it was really exciting to analyze the Circuit that racers will go race on and I think they already devise a tactical plan in approaching such obscure Circuit, and I think Sergio Perez already has some idea about this track because he surely got the 2nd fastest time recorded on this track with 1:28:200, using the Red bull Racing RB18

Well ,this season is already kinda over for my boys Ferrari and Charles really don't deserve this as he just got a penalty.

Quote " BREAKING: Charles Leclerc set for Jeddah grid penalty following a switch to a third Control Electronics unit of the season 🛠️ "

I really feel sorry for Charles man as the kid deserves a strong and reliable car because he was the only one who beat Max during kart days and man...I really want to see these 2 fight with almost equal cars.

This was really a bummer well it is not Charles Leclerc's fault it was the idea of the Ferrari team was forced to be replaced the Energy Store and Control Electronics on Leclerc’s engine which is a big No for the F1 Racing community, when Charles Leclerc shouted no power on his vehicle, this is not really looking good now for the Ferrari, and right now Max Verstappen is the championship, leader.
