After hours of tests, Leclerc has been found ok and it will be allowed to race on the next GP.

The next Gp will be on this weekend again in Italy but this time in Mugello.

Great to see that he is a okay. It was really a hard crash with a lot of speed. I immediately had a Schumi flashback when it happened and hope he is ok.

It was such a fun race to watch, with very thriller end with Gasly and Sainz in the main roles and to be honest happy that it ended the way it did. Gasly deserved it considering what he went through in such a short time in F1 and Sainz had a bittersweet P2 where he felt both happiness and defeat at the same time. That is a bit shitty feeling, but he will bounce back and he will have more opportunities to get a win in F1.

Sad to watch for us Cavallino Rampante tifosi, but it is best to experience all the bad stuff at once (this season) then to deny and spread that over 4-5 season. I see all this as reaching the bottom, in crypto terms we have broken all support levels, dipped to tripple bottom and now is the start of recovery for a few years.

We will enjoy victories even more when they come after this much suffering. I experienced it all with Michael coming to Ferrari and climbing and then leaving.

It was a hard crash. I think he was lucky that he hit the barrier a little from the side and not frontal. Now he was bounced back a little.

I expected some more of such crashes after seeing the free praticies. A lot of drivers lost the cars in the corners.

KTM and Aprilia have already the concession rules, but KTM only more this year. And the other teams are not happy that KTM can develop already his engine also KTM and Aprilia have 7 and not like the other teams only 5 engines for the session.

https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/motogp-teams-wary-of-ktm-building-super-engine-for-2021/4866504/

So the naturalized teams are afraid of a development for a “super engine”, so that's a big advantage for KTM this year but nobody expected this leap in performance.

I don't really understand this. But why is this allowed? What makes KTM and Aprilia different? Meanwhile, other manufacturers do not have a permit. I thought this would create new problems. Other producers will feel disadvantaged.

Leclerc crash was really scary - big speed and big impact after he crashed. Good that there was tyres and not the wall. Good to hear that he is fine.
After his crash, I remembered huge F2 crash in Parabolica last year. It's not similar to Lecler accident, but it was one of the most scary crashes I ever saw:

It's unbeleavable that driver walked away on his own legs after this.

About MotoGP.
Some rumors from Germany.
Rossi will end his carrier this year and Dovizioso will take his spot in Yamaha.

This is a strange rumor since some weeks ago he said that he will stay in Yamaha probably on the second team.

Rossi now is at least 40 year old or 41 I don’t remember correctly but my point is that his is getting quite old for a rider to compete with other riders of the age 20-30 and it is clear that these new riders have better chances to ride better than Rossi.I have seen this pattern with Schumacher and the older he got the less he could repeat his great drives when he was young.The same is happening with Rossi and I think the decision to quit should be the best for him.

I think this is only speculation, last Rossis father says at the question, "When you think is the best time for your son to end his career?" He say, i think with 46 years  .

But i think he will drive next year and possibly the following year, as long as he is competitive with the other drivers.

He probably just wanted to watch the F1 race with just a bit more of emotion with a small bet.He never knew that the small bet can buy him a new car now.This is one true inspiration bet for all the gamblers as with just less than one Euro you can win thousands of Euros.

Well a 20 cents bet isn't really meaningful (although he got a good amount out of it).

Imagine if he had done a 20€ bet instead ! He would be rich !

Formula 1 released the lap don't from Ferrari at Mugello during the lockdown period.

It will be impressive on turns for the G Force, we will probably have the all-time record for it but idk if overtakes are easy here, let's see in 2 days.

Wow, incredible. Offcourse, it was just €0.20 bet, he had nothing to lose. But I have no idea how such crazy bet can even come to someone's head, because such outcome is such unbeleavable.

I think overtaking will be difficult - track is fast, but very narrow and there is some difficult corners. And there will be just one DRS zones.
Also, mistakes may cost very expensive because there is lot of gravel zones around the track. Once you're out of track, it's likely that your ended.

EDIT
Sergio Perez will leave Racing Point after end of this season:

We all probably know what it means - Vettel to Racing Point. And interesting where Perez will move? Haas maybe?

Too bad their 1000th GP won't be a party. Let's hope for them they get to the finish both and maybe someone gets in the top10. A podium should be nice but I don't see that happen but after last race, anything could happen.

It is official now and that is Vettel to Racing Point as this is indicated in the official instagram of Racing Point.We all would have preferred Checco and Vettel but when daddy is the owner of the F1 team things behave differently.

Good to see that Vettel isn't retiring. Let's hope Perez get's a seat at another team. He definitely deserves a seat for sure.

There are three oldest riders in MotoGP, Valentino Rossi, Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovizioso. It looks like they can still compete at the moment, and I think Rossi can still join MotoGP for nine more years if he wants. It is in accordance with FIM regulations that the racer retirement age is fifty years. But this is impossible, I see that he has really aged his abilities seem to have decreased at this time. If he is going to retire, I think this is natural and will definitely happen.
