Tsunoda got an ultimatum.
He has no more possible errors in his line.

The boss of Alpha Tauri chose the hard way, if Tsunoda will keep making mistakes during the season, he will be out from the team.

I think he is right, so far he has shown almost nothing for deserving a spot in F1.

Helmut Marko has also said about Tsunoda that he occasionally loses control on the radio with swear words and therefore has to/should undergo therapy. So there is not much to be said for Tsunoda, a big reason for Tsunoda getting a seat was probably Honda?

I think that can be called normal under the circumstances of racing,the adrenaline is super high for all the drivers and when you talk to a driver in a difficult moment in the race is not only Tsunoda swearing,we have heard Vettel,Leclerc,Verstappen and a couple of other drivers do just that.I agree though that Tsunoda shouts it loud even though he is not fighting for the win like Leclerc and Verstappen are so most probably he should not be swearing that loud as it doesn't make any sense.

Not probably but it was because of Honda providing engines to Redbull.

Yes , thta is right. Tsunoda has a very fiery character but a very calm outside the track. Funny right ? Well , kinda. For us , is funny to watch but for Alpha Tauri team and RedBull advisors to Yuki , it's kinda hard to work with a person like that so no wonder why they hired different people to take care of his personal health , emotions and all that. He is still young and has plenty to learn but he needs to change a bit and I'm sure if the timing is great , he will drive a championship car at some point.

Maybe he doesn't really know how to speak English and all the English he's learned is from hip hop music with explicit lyrics.    He should be careful.  The 'n word' might slip out of his mouth while talking on the radio.    That would def mean the end of his F1 career.  Lolol.

Anyway here's the schedule for this weekend's race.

At MotoGP are news about Rins and Honda. It's now official and Alex Rins will ride for LCR Honda for two years from the beginning 2023. I hope that Rins now again has the head clear and can ride again carefree. With the new contract, it could go uphill again with Rins after all the failures this year.

These people come from a background of a good amount of money. You do not become an F1 driver by having parents who are poor, even Lewis Hamilton who cries like they were dirt poor, had a dad 10x richer than mine, not even remotely close.

Hence, I am sure that he got a good English lesson from teachers, even tutors that came to their house to teach him English. Sure as you grow up you listen to English songs, and I am not American or from any nation that speaks English, and yet I grew up with eminem and do not swear when I speak English. It means it's a bit of a personal decision and if he is warned, he should be careful, there is no legit excuse for it at all.

There are only a few days to go for the French GP. It doesn't have a very attention getting track maybe but I still hope to see a competitive race. Leclerc is in the competition again finally by his result in the previous race. I expect him to maintain this great effort against Verstappen once again in this race also. I will be wondering about Hamilton's performance also by the way. He has been doing a good job recently by being on podium. We will see if he will be able to maintain this here. However he needs to get lucky about Sainz and Perez threats first.

From what I remember reading somewhere, English of Tsunoda isn't that good. Yeah, he should be careful not just on radio, but also while gaming, as we already saw, 'n word', even not directed to anyone, can cost contract. On the other hand, Vesrtappen called Stroll Mongol, and nothing didn't happened. But Tsunoda isn't Verstappen .
Next race in France, one of the most boring tracks. During one of previous races there, I literally fall asleep. I hope it won't happen this time .

This is very good news for the LCR Honda team and also for an experienced rider like Alex Rins. I have also read this news in several local and foreign media.
But I want to know if the Suzuki team that handled Alex Rins will also join the LCR Honda team? Or will they return to their respective homes or go to other teams next year?
Because so far I haven't found any news about where Alex Rins' own team crew is going

[karabiber]

Rins who has three MotoGP victories, will race for LCR for the next two seasons with the support of the Honda team. I glad to hear that news. Rins is an experienced and fast driver. Regularly on the podium. In addition, Rins will contribute positively to the team's more podium challenges and motorcycle development by sharing their experiences and giving feedback to Honda LCR engineers. I can't wait to follow Rins next year.

I believe we are going to see a great race in France this time,the cars have not that big difference and we have seen from quite a lot of races during this year the maximum extreme gap between 1st and 2nd has been some like near 20 seconds in Miami if I am not mistaken.It means cars follow each other much better compared to the old versions of the 2021 F1,Ferrari is the strong favorite in this track which has a lot of turns but they have an inside enemy which is called reliability which can turn things around.Now it is time for Redbull to bring new upgrades as the new Ferrari engine is going to crush them in this track if they are still without any significant upgrade.

[Distraction]

The point gap between Verstappen and Leclerc is 38 now. This is not a huge gap at all. Leclerc just needs to keep up the good work in the coming races. I liked his performance too much in the Austria GP. Despite everything in the final laps he still managed to win. I will be expecting another tough competition between them in the French GP. I'm thinking of supporting Leclerc for the win. I really want to see him as the champion this time. Ferrari are having their best season after many years. This is time for a Ferrari driver to shine.

I read once that Suzuki has forbidden the transfer of employees to other teams, but I think it will be like with the riders, if I don't have a valid contract anymore, I can move wherever I want and I will also try to get a permanent job again.

But also LCR Honda has its permanent people, I think it will be a matter of negotiation for Rins which trusted team members he can take with him from Suzuki to Honda.

But last year's race in France was exciting tho with Verstappen making a DRS pass at the last lap or I remember it was the last lap to get the win.

But yeah..  Last year was an extra ordinary season with lots of the races having that 'something extra' for the fans because it was a race for the WDC between two drivers who wouldn't budge.  I think it's gonna take three straight Leclerc wins before we see Verstappen in villain mode again and make the season as fun as last year.

this weekend will be an interesting one for the cars.

The temperature will be very hot maybe over 40°C, so the engines will be stressed out.

Also, the use of tires will be different with this temperature.

I think so too, it will be a problem for some teams, last season Mercedes always had problems in very high temperatures because of their slim design. Mercedes has a very reliable engine this year, let's see if the high temperatures cause them problems. With Ferrari, I'm not sure if they will have problems in high temperatures, but the Ferrari engine has not been very reliable lately.

RedBull is difficult to assess in the high temperatures, but the high temperatures are a big burden for man and machine this weekend.

Rins is an experienced rider in MotoGP. But when he starts with a new bike next year, I think he also needs a little more adjustment for himself because the character between the Suzuki GSX-RR bike and the Honda RC213-V is very different. And you can also see how many Honda riders are able to ride the RC213-V motorcycle well

But also LCR Honda has its permanent people, I think it will be a matter of negotiation for Rins which trusted team members he can take with him from Suzuki to Honda.

Now I'm starting to find the answer where Alex Rins is prohibited from bringing Suzuki crew to his new team. In fact, he wants to wade through MotoGP 2023 with crew chief Jose Manuel Cazeaux. Maybe Cazeaux will reunite with Vinales. The signal is getting stronger along with Rins' confession, to Motorsport.com.

Ferrari will have a new back wing from this weekend.

Also Sainz will may take a penalty for using a new engine, nothing sure yet but it is possible.

If he doesn't get a penalty all the other drivers will complain as when they changed the unit even when it was not their fault like in the case of Sainz they still got penalized from 5-10 positions below from the one they will make in the Pole Position.I doubt this will be different for Sainz.

Beside the back wing I think they will also have the upgraded engine where we saw it last race at Austria how great it was at Haas,don't know if Leclerc will get it but Sainz who is going to be penalized most likely should test it,it can be the winning factor in this track.

[Zackgeno96]

It will be a fun race between Red Bull and Ferrari. Those are the teams that normally call the shots and fight for the win. We should not expect too many things from Mercedes. I still don't understand how it is that Mercedes is so far behind Red Bull and Ferrari because of the new regulations? after all, they also had to adhere to the new rules and all teams seem to have become stronger and Mercedes weaker. Very weird. Maybe Toto Wolf mismanagement?
