Yes the pressure is high, but I thought this year as world champion some of the pressure should already be off and he will have a consistent year, unfortunately it was not like that and he now has to perform well and safely until the end of the season.

And what I can't stop thinking about this season is that when Bagnaia crashed, it was Bezzecchi who won the race. This has happened three times this season so Bezzecchi still has to be considered as a candidate to win along with Martin because both of them always put more pressure on Bagnaia. And the rest of this season will be even more exciting in MotoGP because the points gap is getting closer now.

Every now and then a safe second or third place is better than a crowbar to first and maybe a crash, at least in view of the world championship. I also think that Bagnaia will finish close, but Bezzecchi and Martin have "tasted blood" and have little to lose and are currently very safe and fast in form.

In the remaining races this season, Bagnaia has to consider this because he must always be on the podium in order to secure points and himself in the standings. Because if he crashes and loses more points it will make him unable to defend the world championship for this season again, especially now that Bezzecchi and Martin are still very thirsty to continue to win in every race and Sprint race.

Small news.
After taking the Moto Gp, India is thinking big.

They want the F1.

I think this marriage will be done, for sure they have the audience considering how big is their population.

[Davian144]

Bagnaia should be very careful right now and even be a rational rider rather than chasing the win.He should not only think about this season Championship but also for the upcoming one next year as another crash will not cost him only this title but most probably he will become like Marquez then,keep falling and crashing and the damage will be hard to recover.

This week the MotoGP race will take place in Japan where it is the host country for Honda and Yamaha manufacturers, but European manufacturers such as Ducati could also surprise there at the end of this week. Because looking at the track, it is very supportive for European manufacturers which in fact always rely on greater power in each race, apart from that there will also be test riders who will get wild cards such as test riders from the Yamaha factory with special liveries.

Based on this I think higher chances to win this season MotoGP are for the runners up as they have got nothing to lose,they are second and third and they can only gain if they push a little,of course they will take such risk as they have not had a bad crash as of yet.

My personal prediction is actually the same, but I look more towards fierce competition this season because Bagnaia will also continue to try to defend his title and continue to give his best in every race this season. All the riders are in Japan and we will see what the weather is like tomorrow for Practice1 to Practice2 because manufacturers like Honda will also work harder to be able to win at home even though so far Honda is not doing well.

When F1 started in India back in 2011, I already thought it's here for long. But everything ended just after 3 year contract. But if India now have serious intentions, it probably will be different story. As I understand, they're using same track like in past.
One important question - what track from current calendar they're going to replace?

They do look to be serious. And I think that's because people in India currently are pretty crazy about cars. There are a lot of really good drivers in India as well. 2011 was a very different time. if I remember correctly, even the Internet was not accessible for the majority of the population in India. But now that is not a problem. So a lot of people are actually going to be interested and will also be able to watch the competition. Of course that is going to attract a lot of sponsors as well. So the earning is going to be good as far as I am concerned.

[Distraction]

There is still one week to go until the next Grand Prix in Qatar. This time we are going to be watching a sprint race also. I hope we can enjoy some good race this time because the Japan Grand Prix was so boring.    The last time we watched an F1 race on this track was the 2021 season. Hamilton got a really dominant win in that season.

That season was really amazing as we watched a wonderful competition for the title between Hamilton and Verstappen. But I'm afraid we are back to another dominance season.

This time the dominator is Verstappen. So I expect him to dominate this race this time. I hope at least we can watch some competition for podium unlike the race in Japan.

[FanEagle]

Formula 1 already has a lot of tracks and that means that it is going to be hard to get one more track in there. Look at this year, they tried to have more tracks than any year before and they were so much in trouble and so much compact that after not having one race, they had to cancel that race instead of move it some other time.

Normally when they had more time they would just cancel it that week and put it somewhere else and that would be fine, this year because they have so many tracks, they just simply ended up cancelling it all together. If they try to grow it even bigger, we are going to end up seeing a lot more this type of stuff happens and the result will not be good for them neither, they should be careful.

This has happened three times this season so Bezzecchi still has to be considered as a candidate to win along with Martin because both of them always put more pressure on Bagnaia. And the rest of this season will be even more exciting in MotoGP because the points gap is getting closer now.

In the last race Bezzecchi was ahead of Bagnaia when he crashed, Baganaia probably wanted too much, so it would probably have been better to take home a safe 2nd place. But Bagnaia can prove again this weekend that he is still there and wants to defend the title. But the next few years will be interesting because Bezzecchi and Martin will continue to fight for the title.

In Japan last year Bagnaia also dropped out, but Ducati is very strong on this circuit, as is KTM, so it will be exciting again, unfortunately getting up so early...

But the next few years will be interesting because Bezzecchi and Martin will continue to fight for the title.

Tomorrow I will also see two races in one day with very different times, because the race for MotoGp will be broadcast a little earlier than the WSBK race so I can watch both in one day and it will be very exciting to see how Bezzecchi and Martin fight in set the best time for tomorrow in qualifying and try to win the Sprint Race, although Bagnaia will probably also continue to enliven the competition at the front because he needs to create a gap with the two riders (Bezzecchi and Martin).

In Japan last year Bagnaia also dropped out, but Ducati is very strong on this circuit, as is KTM, so it will be exciting again, unfortunately getting up so early...

I will also wake up early to watch FP2 and qualifying because the time for the MotoGP event in Asia (especially Japan) is very different from the time in other countries. And I think all the European manufacturers will be quite strong at Motegi because they will all really take advantage of the straights that are available at the Twin Ring Motegi for tomorrow.

Riccardo may race the next GP after the crash he got.

This week he will do hard work on the simulator and if he passes the test he will race.

Daniel Joseph Ricciardo will race the forthcoming motor GP game. After the crash, he is okay now, though the only thing that will tell us whether he will ready the next race is the test. Motor GP is a game that you have to be fitted in all areas of sport. Mostly the Cognitive and Psychomotor must be effective and active because when driving you to know what you doing so when there is crash in the GP, they are always well taken care of.

Noone, the play they said a few years ago was to extend the races nearly to 30 per year.

Jorge Martin from the Pramac Racing team was unstoppable in the Japanese MotoGP Sprint Race today and even Brad Binder from the KTM factory was unable to catch him after approaching Jorge Martin in the early laps of the Sprint Race. Meanwhile, Bagnaia almost didn't get third place on the podium in today's Sprint Race because there was a fight with Jack Miller, and I saw that the Twing Ring Motegi circuit was sometimes a bit difficult for riders to overtake if the number of laps was small. Tomorrow's main race will probably be much fiercer than today's Sprint race because the number of laps will be greater and hopefully the conditions will not be much different from today.

Twin Ring Motegi is one of the legendary racing tracks as it has a lot of different layouts and the one for MotoGp is one of the best ones.I think that the race will be much different than the Sprint race as we have seen such happenings also in F1 where in Sprint race some people do well in getting first or second while in the race they are nowhere to be found in these top positions.The Japanese manufacturers can't do much if they were not doing well during all season I highly doubt they would be doing well just for one race despite this race being their home one,sure they will try to be better in performance while winning the race sounds almost impossible.

Riccardo may race the next GP after the crash he got.

This week he will do hard work on the simulator and if he passes the test he will race.

If we look at his performance from the simulator, we can say that he is ready for the next race, but the simulator is just a simulator, it might be different from the real race and his performance could be better or worse. But of course we all hope that he can give his best performance compared to what Lawson showed and hopefully he can show maximum results.

[Koal-84]

Martin is currently in top form, pole position and also won the sprint race. Bagnaia has experienced a good and important third place, tomorrow Martin and Bagnai will race for the victory but will Bagnaia also finish?

Congratulations from me also to Binder for a good performance 💪

Bagnaia can easily lose the title at the moment.

Remember when I said he has been so bad at the start of the season when he slipped 3 times when he was in the top 2?

He almost deserves to lose it.

I've heard that these simulators are as close to what the conditions of the track plus the actual car that the drivers are racing can be. I'm pretty sure that the team is only testing Ricciardo's reflexes at this point and would love to know whether he is already fit to drive once more. By the looks of it, he seems to have recovered pretty good from the crash. Although of course it would be under AlphaTauri's discretion on whether or not they'll put him in the next race.

[Spack17]

As far as I know Liam Lawson is very likely to race in Qatar in Ricciardo's stead once again. Because it is said that Ricciardo's injury still exists.

This is a golden opportunity for Liam Lawson on one hand. It wasn't easy for him to find a seat before but now he has a chance to prove his skills. So far his performance has been really decent as well. There are even rumours on the internet like Lawson could be the one to take Perez's seat as of the 2025 season. Do you think that we can really see him there?

martin and bagnia are only 3 points apart at the moment, which is a very small gap. if bagnia is unable to win first place in the upcoming mandalika race, it is certain that bagnia will lose his first place to martin. and it is possible that martin will be the winner this year if we look at how martin has performed in the last few races.
