Congratulations on the first pole position for Acosta, Marc Marquez set the fastest time, but was rightly penalised for the track limit and so Acosta has pole position ahead of Bagnaia. Martin crashed and Bagnaia will try to make up points in the championship standings.

Starting the Sprint from first position was clearly very good for Pedro Acosta even though at the start of the Sprint he was immediately overtaken by Bagnaia, but he also had a better time to catch Bagnaia again after a few laps. But unfortunately Pedro Acosta could not maintain his first position while leading the Sprint today so he crashed with four laps left to go. It was really very painful for a rookie Pedro Acosta and Marquez also almost got second position in today's Sprint, but Bastianini did not give that opportunity to Marquez because Bastianini also wanted to be in second position. Now Bagnaia and Martin's points have been cut again because Martin could only finish in the top four in today's Sprint.

Crashes seems to be a common thing for Acosta, I cant really remember how many times he crashed this season but I think he crashes more than the other riders.
More unfortunately, most of his crashes were self accident which means there is something wrong with himself or with his bike.
He is a great young potential rider and as a rookie, he should take this season as a learning season where he can get more experiences to improve his skills for the upcoming season.
The best moment in today's Sprint Race is exactly the duel between Enea vs Marquez but unfortunately it was happened in few corners only in the 11th lap.
It would be much more interesting if there were more laps to go hopefully tomorrow will be much interesting race to watch.

With the confrim of Antonelli to Mercedes we have only 2 free slots for the moment.

1 in Sauber and 1 in Visa Cash app

Yeah, currently the only undecided seats are there. I don't know who would be eager to race for Kick Sauber.    Maybe they would bring another young driver from F2.

For Racing Bulls, isn't it already decided that it is going to be Liam Lawson?    Or was it just for the remaining part of the season?

Ah thanks for pointing that out...  Mmm ok, so we already saw how their car performs in a street circuit.  I wanna see it perform in a proper F1 track and I guess the next race will def show just that at Circuit of The Americas in Texas.

But if Norris is still fast in his McLaren then we'll def have some interesting races coming up til the end of the season.    It's gonna be the start of Red Bull's down fall imho, thanks to Jos Verstappen for disturbing the peace within the team.  I hope Horner leaves too.

My pleasure. I hope McLaren keeps up the good work by the next race also. I don't want them to gift the constructor championship to Red Bull.    In fact, I'm okay with McLaren and Ferrari both about winning the title.
