indeed it was been the craziest qualify ever.
We have 6 red flags and the qualify was longer than the past year GP.
We almost got 2 hours of qualify. Crazy.

About the race, at this point Max should easly win, and we should have big recoveris from Ferrari and Mclarens.

game ended 1-1 for Juventus and Verona.
They leading the leaderboard but they could easily had 2 more points.

Milan is playing right now and they are winning 1-0 against a good Udinese.

only 1-1 for Juventus after the 1st half.
The managed to score the 1st goal but after that they did a dumb mistake and conceded a penalty to Verona.
In the last minute of the 1st half we are missing a red car for Verona, let see if VAR will call in at the start of the second half.

what a weird but exiting qualify we got.
Pole position for Max, Carlos second and Liam 3rd.

Disaster for Ferrari with slow Hamilton and Leclerc mistake.
Even worse for Mclaren.

Atleast it will be a good race tomorrow.

Mclarens back on the top.
Interesting fact that timers are slower this morning than yesterday.
Pole position soon, with Max closer to the top.

Who will make it?

My top 4,
1 pia 2 nor 3max 4lec

Cagliarni managed to win the game against LEcce.
2 goals from Belotti gave them the 3 points.

Many people were thinking that Belotti was a finished player, but he will prove them wrong.
He will score over10 goals this season.

The turn will start today with Lecce Cagliari.
A game that nobody wanna watch.

Tomorrow we will have interesting games.

Eyes on Sunday with Roma Lazio derby, both teams need disparately the 3 points.

Is still early but that is.
This is the leaderboard so far.

Ferrari in top with Hamilton, what a strange feeling
Both Mclanres touched the wall

As predicted on this track should be only Mclanres-Leclerc thing.
Quite surprising seeing Lewis on top

As expected, Mclarens and Leclerc in top 3.
I don't think that ferrari can fight for the pole but I also think he will be very close.

Games are almost over for today, and some are already ended.
Bayer Leverkusen managed to tie the game, losing against Copenhagen was such a terrible thing to do.

Now the big matches of the day.

Manchester City as expected is beating Napoli, for 2-0
Barcelona is beating Newcasle for 2 nil in an away game.

Galatasaray is losing 4-1 with 2 own goal conceded
To be honest I was expecting more form them

José Mourinho has landend in Portugual for Sky Sport.
He will the new manager of Benfica.

It has no passed a long time since he has been sacked, again, in Turkey.

Can't he relax?

Big eyes on Mancehster City vs Napoli this evening.

yeah he is very strong in this track and actually, since we dont have high turn speeds, he may have a chance this year too.
If the track has many high turn speed then Mclarens make the difference.

On a single lap he may have a chance but we also have a long, very long straight here and it may change cause of it.
IF a team decide to sacrifice a driver then the team mate can easly gain 4 tents there.

easy wins for INTER and Psg this evening.
once again psg proven his strenght vs a good opponent.

Atletico close to recovery the game after conceding 2 goals in the first 10 minutes.
Bayern defeated Chealsea with a dominating 3-1.

Yeah that is the ongoing rumor.

Hadjar and Max in to Redbull
Tsunoda in to Alpine with Gasly
Visa cash app. Lawson and?

Not sure if is a good call going to RBR the next year with the revolution that will come.

Even today only 6 games, for sure eyes will be on PSG - Atalanta.

They confirmed the 6, again, sprint races for the next year.
Now we know where they will be hosted.

China
Miami
Canada
Silverstone
Netherlands
Singapore

And looks like we will have 2 races in Saturdays?
Am I missing something?

Azerbajian and Las Vegas.

Strong win for Arsenal in an away game agaisnt Athelic Bilbao.
They won for 2-0.
Even if they scored 2 goals they suffered and they were able to score only in the final stage of the game.
But as always the only important things are the 3 points.
