As the Canadian GP is very likely to be cancelled due to the pandemic, there are two alternatives for its place now, Nurburgring GP and the Turkish GP. And it's said that F1 is considering to reach an agreement for the Turkish GP now. It would be really fantastic to see it again in the calendar.

I am curious whether it can start in Turkey, in Turkey there is also a 2-week lockdown in May due to the pandemic, I heard. The GP track is very nice there, but I'm not sure whether it can be driven, maybe later this year?

I think Turkey GP will be held sometimes this year but I doubt it can be in May so lets wait for an official response from F1 and liberty media.

Regarding the Sprint Qualifying format, it will be only for 3 races and the response from the 1st one will decide if they will go on with the 2nd and then with the 3rd one. Personally , I have nothing against this but first I need to see one in order to make my decision if this affects the show of F1 or it will boost it.

Kimi Raikonnen winning at group 3 in quali priced at 3.1 seems like value.  Need some inputs from you guys before making the bet and while FP1 hasn’t started.  Both Williams finishing above him at the last quali seems like an anomaly and flukish to me.  What do you guys think?

Everything is set up already.    The Turkish GP is going to replace the Canadian GP and it is on the same race week, June 11-13. I'm very excited already now. In the last season's race, the asphalt of the track was new and it was a big problem for the drivers. But now, I assume we won't see the same thing and it'll be even a better race.

Despite canceling the Canadian GP, they renewed the Montreal contract for another two years, this is good news! It is a pity that this circuit is again out of F1.
Wel... I'm looking forward to seeing how the riders are going to run at the Istanbul circuit this year, I even liked what I saw last season, let's see now that the track is "more mature" (I don't know how to say it in English).

Uhm , couldn't you pick another group ? This group seems way too balance so I feel like I picky randomly. If I were to chose I would go with Russel because he has something to prove after the last race and this is the best occasion for him to do so. Regarding Kimi ( still my fav driver tho ), I don't like the team strategies so even if he has a good start like the previous year, I still can't trust his engineers and strategies to put him in the right place in the right moment so it's a pass for me regarding this group.

It's easy to talk about qualification, but I think that pick between these drivers isn't that difficult. Choose between Russel and Kimi. Haas car this year isn't competetive at all this year, so Schumacher have no chance. While Latifi is worst driver in F1 after Mazepin IMO. If there will be such bet in next race, I would pick Russel, it's not first qualification when he showed solid result.
Race is after just more than hour. Does anyone really believe that Bottas can win it? Personally, I hardly see such scenario.

[boltz]

Yea , but I made that prediction before the qualifiers and I gave tokeweed a good reason not to pick Kimi and I hope he did not pick him.

Are you ready for the race ? I call it now! Max Verstappen will win! Ham will not reach top 3 , nor will Bottas and I believe in a podium for Norris or Sainz.

Norris is having a great few races. Dan needs to work out his problems and catch back up..

What was Kimi doing? did anyone here him after the race? I haven't had time to check out what his side of the story is..

Raceweek again!

Oh...  But I did!  I just couldn’t help myself.  Rofl. 

Anyway, I think some lines that could have some value could be  the ‘who finishes with points’ market aka the top 10.  I think Alonso was lined at 5 or something.  It’s looking like the teams to finish with points consistently are Merc, RBR, McLaren, Ferrari and Alpine. 

[darxiaomi]

I really cant believe how bad is Bottas. He made a horrible re-launch for his teammate, after that he cant push in the front of the race and lose the possition to Hamilton so easy.

Norris seems to be so confident , and Dani Ric needs more job to do.

[NeuroticFish]

I really cant believe how bad is Bottas.

He simply shows everybody how good the Mercedes cars are, if George Russell wasn't enough last year.
On the other hand the Aston Martin cars are disappointing and Ferrari is impressively good (compared to last year) and pretty much constant.

Perez and Alonzo has great races and the golden raspberry award goes to Mazepin, although Kimi is also near...

Bottas is good enough to secure the constructor title for Mercedes every year and does not pose a threat to Hamilton. Mercedes does not need more, the car can become world champion with almost any driver pairing.

In contrast to last year, Aston Martin has a big problem with the rule changes at the rear, Alpine has solved that better and is rightly ahead of Aston Martin. The Ferrari-powered cars are still having problems, if not as blatant as last year, but are still lagging behind.

So , who is ready for a POLE from Max ? I sure am because Max needs to turn the wheels on this race and qualifiers or Lewis will understand that this hype around Red Bull was kinda fake than real so I doubt they will stop him from winning the 8TH Championship so it's kinda now or never for RedBull. If they win this race , they are for real but if they lose , the rumors that they have some illegal on the car might be true and they already removed it.

It will be interesting to watch this qualifiers.

I just checked the weather in Barcelona and it shows Rain and A Thunderstorm in aprox 1 Hour from now so half an hour after the start we should have rain. Last time it rained during an F1 race in barcelona was more than 15 years ago if I remember correctly so I do hope it will rain as it will be Max a heavy chance to win it. Also OCON performs so well in wet tyres.
