Well Max has drived the entired race very good even tho his car isnt mercedes and he risked with his tires for i think more them 17+ laps to try and get a bigger lead over hamilton and i heard hamiltons pit crew told him at i think 41/56 lap that max will overtake him in 10 laps and that happened lol
Was an amazing week

Redbull is better than Mercedes right now. At least in this race, it was.
Let's see in the next races but so far it is better, the slight change in the regulation of cars penalized Mercedes a lot.

I think Mercedes is a little bit faster than RedBull and the RedBull looks not as stable as Mercedes, but yes we see that at the next races. But what is wrong with Vettel, he seems a bit at a loss again?

I think its quite contrary because the Honda engine is much more powerful this year but the question is that is he durable ? So far so good but Mercedes doesn't have the same power like Honda but its just the start of the season and we all know that in 2017-18 Ferrari had the best engine and yet they fail to secure any of the titles so this tell us that the real battle is about to begin in the next 2-3 races.

I don't know that Honda engine is better/stronger than Mercedes, we also don't know about Mercedes run at there limits? But I think this year is more balanced than the last and several drivers have the chance to win, not just Mercedes. And also RedBull announced the next update for Imola.

Engines progress should be frozen this year too. So if Honda is faster now it will be till the end of the season.
For sure is not slower.

Redbull strength is usually in tracks with a lot of drag so imagine if they can be equal or faster than Mercedes in a fast track...

Anyway, with the budget cap, the first thing they did is to fire people as Horner revealed in an Interview, well done FIA people lost their job for a cap already explored by the team. Clap.

I remember there was some talk here about Perez earlier before the race in Bahrain and recall seeing this video about how driving styles really do play a part in a race as you can see a clip from the screen I took of this quote:

Here is the entire video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU3vSjQ84n8
As he was coming from Aston martin to race for team Red bull so it was quite the pre-race interview and liked to hear about how he transferred his skill over from their team to the current squad.

It is really good to see Honda being back strong.I hope they continue this way as we really need some competition back to the F1 after so many years of Mercedes full dominance.I don't think they will be weaker and they are trying hard to come back to common victories like they did in the distant past.

I agree with you. And I've read a statement from Red Bull side like they couldn't show the full performance of the car in Bahrain race. Then it means that very exciting races are waiting for us.    There could be a huge competition between Verstappen and Hamilton for the title this season.

[rdbase]

The next race in Italy just 10 days away for practice runs and with it not being soon enough, I'll put up the table of the odds for our favorites to win.

April 16-17th practice runs
April 17th Qualifying laps
April 18th Race

Max and Lewis are tied at 2.22x in a dead heat according to the odds makers.
I would suspect this to change to be in favor or Hamilton as we draw closer to the start time of the race.

I agree they are great odds considering that Imola this weekend is a technical and legendary track.Mazepin is driving for the first time a F1 car in Imola so the dangers are real.I would try a small amount on this bet without worries.

Lolol.  Brilliant!  I like how that head of yours is working.  I mean it’s something most F1 fans would root for every race day anyway cos they hate him.  Might as well make a bet.

It is really a shocking thing to see Lewis Hamilton not being the clear favorites, I have been used to seeing him as low as under 1.6 for some races in the day and now seeing him tied with someone else seems just a bit weird honestly. I still think that he has a bit more advantage, I can't speak about if Red Bull car finally managed to reach to a level where it is definitely better car, or if we reached to a level where they are at least tied, however I can say that he is by far the best driver as you might imagine, and he will want to be alone at the top so it is going to take a lot to actually take it away from him.

Max Verstappen is one of the best drivers as well, and he has a good car as well, but I do not know if he is there yet. Bahrain was definitely a good show, if Max races once or twice like this, it will definitely be a close season for sure.

Yes its really a strange thing, but i think its correct. This year regulations destroy the low rake cars (Mercedes and the copy of Mercedes,AM).The RedBull car its clearly ahead but LH is more driver than Verstppen for the experience he have in your back and Mercedes its more team than RedBull in terms of management of decisive moments and comebacks. After all i think Mercedes can come back and destroy RB in the season like before they are made vs Ferrari in the past seasons, but this time RB seems really strong and MV really want to fight the title and he knows he have the car this year for that.

Race in Italy is only 5 days away at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

The practice runs have been changed due to the two organizations wanting to pay respects to the prince's funeral being on Saturday.
So just the qualifying races will be moved by a few hours while the finals race will still be held on Sunday.

this schedule has been updated from the official F1 site as of 15 hours ago. So if it changes I will revise as necessary.

i'd love to put some mbtc on this promo but, there seems to be a small problem


anyone else getting this?  is it a promo related to AlphaTauri's pilot Yuki Tsunoda? 👀

Got the same here, so it is not just on your side Tomahawk9.

Just popped it into google translate to see what the bet is for:

At 2.50x odds I'd take it from his last performance in the Bahrain race comes to tell how good he is.

[tomahawk9]

⌃   i was too lazy to google it but i expected it to be about Tsunoda  

yeah good odds, but i'll wait some more and see if the promo's still active after the quali next saturday. In the Bahrain GP, Pierre was 5th on the grid while Yuki didn't make it to Q3, but unlucky Pierre during the race dropped to 19th place in the 5th lap and couldn't recover. On a good day i believe he who woulda finished above Yuki 🤔

Imola it was, at least it was heavy Mercedes favorite.

If this year RedBull manages to be close to them or even ahead in this track and this kind of track, this year IMHO they will win the title.

I have heard of some news that the Canadian GP has been cancelled due to the risk of covid-19 spread. And it is said that the Turkish GP could come back and take its place on June 13. I hope that we can see this happening. I love the Turkish GP and this time we could watch an even more enjoyable race as it will be in the summer.

True news.
The Canadians asked to remove the GP due to the COVID risk (a street circuit).

Now the turn is in the hands of FIA who will make the decision official, is not confined yet it will be canceled or changed (I think they have some GPs for replacement like Mugello and Instabul) but it is only a matter of time.

Tomorrow will probably be official.
