I selected Verstappen to win the pole position in Japan and he did, but difference was very small by only 0.066s less than Perez.
Unless some malfunction happens or mistake in strategy both RedBull team members should be on podium.
It should be a hard battle between McLaren and Ferrari for third place.

Red Bull one two once again, as we all know as long as they do not have reliability issues, it's nearly impossible for Max to lose any races, just like last year. Good news for Mclaren, Norris will start third on the second line, that seems to be very good place to be at the start at Japan, could be very beneficial, the difference between second and third place is not that much considering the turn here, so I think it's a good place to be.

They are also showing that the yare good from the start of the season this time around and not at the end of the season. That should be something that people could focus on and we could definitely consider that to be something we could consider as a better way to go at the moment for sure.

Whoa!  Thanks for the update on qualifying as my television schedule is even screwed up because they said pre-qualifying was 6 hours ago but are still showing qualifying as if it was still live and not done yet in real time.
Had Verstappen to finish first in Q @1.35x on my acca today so that leg is done.

Don't mention it mate.    The qualifying time was so early for me as well so it wasn't easy for me to get up and watch it from the start to the end. 


Aaand the race is also over!    The podium didn't surprise me much to tell the truth.



Leclerc tried to do his best really. Despite being able to take only 8th place in qualifying he had a great race and reached right behind Sainz by climbing 4 places. This resulted in his being the driver of the day too. If he had a better qualifying I'm pretty confident that he would be on podium instead of Sainz.

Red Bull drivers had a really comfortable race as the expectations. Verstappen is back at top again after the terrible Australia GP weekend.

[rohang]

Honestly tired of max winning every race ever 

Gonna bet on him next F1 just so he loses 

[rdbase]

Just watching the race right now and they are half way done on lap 25 but from the looks of it another formal Verstappen race in the making.
There was a red flag at the very start where Albon and Ricciardo went into the barrier.
But since then it has been a clean race so far.

Wasn't surprised to see another one two by Red Bull on the podium yet again. Their cars seem to love this track in Japan.

Yeah @rohang best to bet on Verstappen so he ends up losing.
Think many did last race on the track that his car gave up on him. The only way for him to lose a race all season.

I think we all need to do that is like a tribute we had to pay.

The worst part is seeing Max dad complaining about Red Bull.... come on man they give you and your children everything, the most winning car for 2 years in a row.

Are you saying that when you bet on something, it's a tendency to lose?  Maybe you can start now for the next race and hopefully we get to see the race be exciting in terms of racing, like equals with other cars and it's all up to the strategy and the ability of the driver.

No F1 this week so there is their void to find something else to fill for those F1 fans this weekend.
Seen Gasly in the crowd at the PSG match in UEFA Champions League the other day enjoying the night watching football with his girlfriend Kika Cerqueira Gomes.


You know it is a slow week in F1 when we begin talking about driver's girlfriends.

I see this like a meme because here in south america most of the transmitions only comment about Ronaldinho and nobody knows or talk about the guy in front who was Pierre Gasly 

Poor Pierre, nobody recognize him outside F1 lore.

Yeah breaks in F1 are very sad to follow, pure talk of non sense, we just hope to reach the race weekend as fast as we can.

[wiss19]

Lol, I have seen that shot of Gasly and I was laughing like crazy, dude stole the scene from Ronaldinho in one of the most important UCL matches of the day lol.

All jokes aside, while we do have the break, we should reconsider what seems to be the team orders for next season because that seems like something people are not talking about all that much. What do we know so far that is guaranteed? Hamilton is going to Ferrari, that's okay, that is a done deal and signed.

This means there are two things that we are not sure about. First of all, we do not know who will get Sainz, that part is still unknown, but we also know that in 2026 Audi will get him, we just don't know who will get him for 2025 just for one season.

Secondly, we do not know who Mercedes will get instead of Hamilton. Anyone has any clues about these two?

The most discussed option for Sainz is Mercedes now to tell the truth. As Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari his seat is going to be available. Mercedes has Mick Schumacher as their reserve driver as well but would you expect him to get the seat? I don't think so.    He still couldn't prove himself to be reliable to drive for a big team.

Especially while Sainz is doing wonders at Ferrari this season I believe he would get more attention by Mercedes. Probably there won't be any space opening at Red Bull or McLaren next season so Mercedes would be the best option I think.

Agree with you when it comes betting on the F1, when available to watch how the drivers feel on the track and also a preview on how their cars perform driving out on the surface first before making any decisions on your selections are key.

Pity for the promotion for this race you can't bet on Max Verstappen to qualify.
Just goes to show you how dominate he really is when even the bookmakers can see a big advantage when placing bets on him.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/formula-1/formula-1/chinese-grand-prix-2024-race/matches

Yes, it is time for some action again!    Sprint race and qualifying are on the same day which makes me feel different. There are only 3 hours between the sessions however it will be nice to see performance changes in 2 sessions by short time gaps - except Verstappen though as he would probably be dominant in both sessions. 

Mercedes drivers couldn't make a good start at all you know. I'm wondering if we will see some improvements finally by the 5th race in the season. On the other hand Sainz is 3-0 ahead against Leclerc so far. Do you expect that this would be the race for Leclerc to finally finish ahead of him?

This will be the first time these drivers would have seen this track since back in 2019 due to lockdown of the region. So don't know really what to expect.
Yes it will be the first time for this new sprint format and the first for the 2024 season:
China will also stage the first sprint of 2024, and the format for this year has been tweaked.
The shootout for the sprint will now take place on Friday afternoon after a single practice session earlier in the day.
The sprint itself will be held on Saturday morning, with the main qualifying for the grand prix following later in the day.

Sprint qualifying just ended and it was a fight in the rain since the very start.
Hamilton was looking like he was going to be taking pole position but then Norris came up clutch to take it away from him in the end.
All cars including Verstappen were unsteady in every turn and slipping and sliding all over the track.

[emrecemsan]

Indeed! Sprint qualifying session was really interesting thanks to rain. Seeing really surprising results can make the sprint race more exciting at the same time. However it is too early I'm afraid and probably I won't be able to watch it.  

The current weather predictions for this race weekend:



It looks like there isn't much chance to rain tomorrow and on Sunday. It could have really made the race much more interesting if it was to rain. The weather tells us that Verstappen will take pole position and win the race for now but we will see.

I would have loved to have some rain on Sunday as this circuit on rain is mega enjoyable to watch but also to drive. Maybe with a bit of luck , weather will change but like you said , the chances for a rain are actually very low.

Congrats for Norris for winning sprint qualifiers and personally I didn't expect Norris to win but I usually don't expect much from him in general as I think Piastri is way better than him and in time , he will show this.
