Verstappen is going well this weekend. Lets see if he can turns this form into the first pole of the season. I think when he got pole it will be an easy race for him.

We'll see mate
Well done Max Verstappen has the first Pole Position in 2021. Hamilton second and Bottas third.
That is going to be be a very interesting race tomorrow.
Good job Max!

For a while there I thought the Ferraris had mad pace after Q2.  Lol.  

[Koal-84]

I'm a little bit surprised, Red Bull is stronger than expected and Max is in pole position. It seems to be a little more balanced this year. But now it's getting really interesting with MotoGP.

[AakZaki]

Franco Morbidelli is again the fastest in Free Practice 3, after previously in Free Practice 2 Miller took it. In 3rd place is Luca Marini, he is Valentino Rossi's younger brother, this year is his debut in the Moto GP. From the results of Free Practice 3, maybe other racers should start considering Marini as a potential competitor. Unfortunately Valentino Rossi is at number 16.
Below are the results of Free Practice 3 in losail, maybe this can be a consideration for you to bet

Lets hope Red Bull have a really competive car. Verstappen is a very good driver but didn't had that much poles. If he gets some more poles in this season it could be a great season to follow.

As told you times ago, aware of Honda engines.
Ferrari is decent sadly Sainz made a mistake on his lap otherwise he could be in top 6.

I think Verstappen will win, Red bull should also stress less the tires.

Vettel, disaster.

Good job Max!

It was great to see Verstappen literally nailing the pole position. And an interesting statistics says that Hamilton has had big problems on the first events in a season so far. By saying "problems", I mean having problems on winning. So, I think Verstappen has a really big chance to win the Bahrain GP if something terrible doesn't happen.

If nothing weirds happen Verstappen will just cruise to a win. At least we wont see any extreme weather in Bahrein. ;-)

Honda is really doing an awesome job on its engines. Red Bull is getting more powerful every year without doubt. I agree that Verstappen will win the race also unless things get worse. Ferrari still did a good job despite Sainz's unlucky lap. I think Leclerc and Sainz both will get nice points in this race. And when it comes to Vettel, it was a devastating start for him. He mentioned before that he is still not accustomed to the car and it looks like the problem continues.

Yep, every time or almost every time Honda left the F1 they did as F1 Champions, last time was with the Brawn GP.
This year can be the time with the Redbull.

This is what they do, do a big boost on the last year, wins and leave.

[LTU_btc]

I'm really hyped before the race tomorrow. It was interesting qualifying session and I'm happy to see Verstappen on pole.
Lot of things already said about Red Bull and Honda engine, but I think it's also worth to mention that Alpha Tauri with Honda engine also looks fast this year.
What is sad to see - Vettel will start only 18th :/

[Luzin]

maybe other racers should start considering Marini as a potential competitor. Unfortunately Valentino Rossi is at number 16.

Can't wait for this season's GP. Even without an audience it might still be interesting. I am a big fan of Valentino Rossi until now even though he is old. Until now I haven't found a replacement for him to be a fan, I hope I will find him in this season. Maybe the new riders this season can attract my heart, one of them is like Luca Marini. For Valentino Rossi Even though in FP3 he is in position 16, I hope that in tomorrow's race he will be able to be in the top 10.

[Koal-84]

Franco Morbidelli is again the fastest in Free Practice 3, after previously in Free Practice 2 Miller took it. In 3rd place is Luca Marini, he is Valentino Rossi's younger brother, this year is his debut in the Moto GP.

Yamaha looks very strong again this year like at the beginning of last season, Rossi in first qualifying at the fourth place, could be a good season for the old champion.

Yup.  I see some people saying that he might not even finish the race.  Dunno...  Perez’s car has some problems right now and the commentators are saying that Verstappen could have the same problem.

Anyway, first lap, Mazepin spins at turn 3 and is out of the race.  Lol.  

[Koal-84]

Good start from Verstappen, it looks like Red Bull can set the pace. Alfa Romeo also seems to be stronger this year and can compete for points, I'm happy for Raikkönen so i hope he also drive next year.

[swogerino]

It looks like a linear race,everyone at the top made their pit stop while Hamilton is extending as long as possible.Probably a losing move from Mercedes as Verstappen having pit is only 3.5 seconds behind.I don't think there will be any history to this race except a massive crash from Verstappen or a car failure that can stop him from winning.

[tokeweed]

^  The overcut turned out to have worked in Hamilton’s favor.  Brilliant performance from him and it really showed how Hamilton is really good at managing his tires towards the end.  Can’t wait for the next one.

This season’s gonna be close between RBR and Merc.

Definitely, and it's great to see the top two teams so closely matched. Red Bull I think do have the better car, but Bottas was crucial to this race, giving Mercedes that 2:1 split strategy advantage early on. Superb work from Hamilton to just about keep Verstappen at bay at the end. Crazy last few laps.

[LTU_btc]

First race of the season didn't disappointed. I would have liked to see Verstappen win today, but Hamilton did great job to keep him behind. Hope to see such fight all season long.
Perez had to start last from pits, but he managed to finish 5th, very solid.
What a poor start for Aston Martin, just 1 point from first race. Honestly, I expected much more from Vettel than 15th place.
Great debut for Tsunoda, 9th place.

[yayayo]

That was a very close one. I hope we will see many more races like this to come!
What a sensational victory for Mercedes.. again.

ya.ya.yo!
