Arthur is on loan from Juventus to Fiorentina.
What an end of this player... he was a promising star at Barcelona 5 years ago, and he is so lost.
1 year and he will be back, hoping he will shine again this year.

So much time without seeing this good level on qualyfication, i mean, we have like 3/4 drivers fighting for pole, long time without seeing that.
McClaren confirm his step ahead, and more surprised by Alfa Romeo, from where they took that times?, i think they put the perfect set up on the car for this track.
It always happens when the track is short, short tracks are great for getting cars closer in timers. Alfa Romeo was the surprise of the day indeed. Not clear yet why they were so fast, maybe they got an upgrade on their car. This is only what they need, do you remember Mclaren at the start of the season? they were the slowest car in F1, not they are the second car.

Sir Lewis Hamilton!
Did a super pole position, and scored another record, 1st time for one driver to have 9 pole position in a single GP.
Mclaren is a the moment the second team as strength in the circus.

3rd hour has gone and it is not so clear if Max will do the pole.
RBR seems to have some problems with cooling down the tires so they don't have the perfect grip for the entire lap.
If they can't fix the problem, they will risk it.
Also interested in the new format of they qualify.

Mbappè has been left out of the list of players going to Japan for the preseason tests.
Considering how bad it is for the marketing of the team, this decision is one step closer for the end of his contract with PSG.

Piastri and Norris have a good start on first practice will be an interesting weekend overall, not sure that it will be rainy dough, today yes, but clear as it can be is forecasted for Sunday
will think it through and put some for the top6 on Piastri, still good odds and looking interesting Norris for podium seems riskier
Mcleare with the latest improvements seems to be the second car in the track after the RBR in every condition. RBR at the moment is not so fast but they are maybe hiding themself. It will be interesting tomorrow to see if they can compete, also anything can happen with the new format.

There are more and more news about Vlahovic leaving Juventus. Hard to tell at the moment whether they are clickbait or not.
3 teams seem to be interested in him, Real Madrid, PSG, and Bayern Munich

Tomorrow we will have a first new time if it doesn't rain during qualifying.
It will be the first time for testing the new qualifying format where the drivers will be forced to use a different tire compound at each stage of qualifying.

1st hour has been completed, heavy rain on the track as predicted.
The second hour will be done in 1 hour and the weather should be similar.

Is he fast in the rain? What I remember from him is that season when he was assured a podium and it started to rain and how he stayed out, didn't box and drove on with slick tires on. He was sliding around the track, it was so hilarious. I could be wrong but I think the fastest guys on the wet track are Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen. Norris is like Russel under the rain, he likes to change tires earlier than the others. It may be not the fastest but he likes to take risks so if the rain comes and go the can be in 1st spot or in the last spot

Rain is expected for the qualify. Crazy bet on Norris? Anyone?

Cuadrado is now officially an Inter player. Something that seemed impossible given his previous 8 years spent with Juventus.

According to Google, we will have another weekend characterized by rain. We should have days with rain on Friday and Saturday, therefore during both qualifying sessions.
There will be two because the sprint race will be done.
On the other hand, the sun is expected on Sunday.

Alvaro Morata's agents were in Milan today and had a meeting with the Inter management. It seems that an agreement has been found with the player, now they just have to find an agreement with Atletico Madrid. The player has a release clause of 21 million but the inter only wants to pay 15

Interesting fact. This will be the final Champions League as we know it.
It will be dead if the superleague wins or completely different if superleague will lose.
From the next year, we will have 2 big groups, where the team will play 8 games, with 16 teams going to the playoff.
It will be such a bad show...

This week we will have the GP in Hungary. The track is very boring after Monaco is the one where is almost impossible to overtake.
Not only this, but they also decided to do the sprint race on this track.
