I think in Ferrari and in Aston Martin are gonna be really concerned about Mercdes performances, because if Mercedes really step up in this early..... they are gonna catch the second position in constructors easily.

Aston Martin main problem about this its.... Lance Stroll he its not being capable of score points, when Alonso its a mchine with this car.
Ferrari in the other side have much more problems, the car as always doesnt end to be the faster they need.

Mercedes did a new thing for them.
They copied the RBR car, Toto Wofff said that.

The 1st step of the "Mercedes" version of RBR has started with Monaco, in the following weeks we have more updates.

By the end of the year, the Mercedes will be very similar to RBR, at least outside.

[rdbase]

Yeah saw this too @coinlocket$

There was a video I just watched which basically told the entire race down at Monaco using the comms (they were faked in this parody of course) in only 1:42 minutes. So it tells you how the race went, if they can sum it up in this amount of time.

The drivers have been interviewed just ahead of the Spanish GP in their roundtable type conference between some of the drivers:
Part I - Esteban Ocon, Max Verstappen, Nico Hülkenberg, Yuki Tsunoda and Zhou Guanyu

I really love this visualization. I love seeing how it progresses and how it happens to go that way in Verstappen's way. It's fantastic to see. The RB car is the best out there. Other cars can't manage to come close. It's both driver and machine for sure.

Thank you for this.

Actually, I really love the Visualization and if it was accurate then Max Verstappen really was something, and that kind of driving skill comes once in a lifetime and Verstappen is doing it not because of the RB19 alone but also his skills in driving the RB19, I wish he can make another video like these and with the Spain GP this time,

As we approached the Practice race and I think it is today, I think we all need to know 1st the Circuit most racers will surely need to know some information about the Circuit I think they will surely get a grasp of the Track by watching some of the old race videos however I have seen a tutorial about the certain Circuit and it is the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya here is the video for the tutorial for the

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

And on the news, after his 1st podium this season Esteban Ocon was very optimistic that this is not his first and last podium for this season he is just feeling that Alpine and the team are now much more hungry for the upcoming race, that this is really it Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gastly are much more motivated in the upcoming race, for sure not only Alpine but for sure Fernando Alonzo is another champion that is surely motivated in the Monaco GP now Spain looks something that is different and I think the Leaders of the Monaco GP will surely be motivated in giving us a great race just like in the Monaco GP,

Now that we are still waiting for the Spain Practice session I think let's watch the classic races that have happened in the Spain GP, this is the
Five Great Battles At The Spanish Grand Prix

Great video's for analyzing the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya more and for racers to have a better insight into what they can do with the next Grand Prix, I think we can all agree with these videos to analyze the next Circuit, right now the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya doesn't have any last lap record so this could be the 1st time racers will have a race here if I am not mistaken, Correct me if I am wrong,

It was Ocon who surprised me most, I always thought of him as a below 7th guy, but you're right Stroll is also not meeting requirements enough I would say, one of the cases where it's driver and not car.

Ferrari still has to surprise us all I think also this season, but I'm waiting a few more races to see if I bring up support for them in my predictions.

It's funny that everyone thinks we have to wait for cars to perform, rather than to fail. Like, does anyone see RB failing?

I was surprised with Esteban Ocon Aswell and gaining the podium in the last Monaco race and this is surely his place, he indeed become more Motivated in the Following Spain practice, but even though he got 3rd place for the 1st Practice the 2nd practice was not for him but at least he tried, and we still had Practice 3 and the qualifiers that indeed will become more intense,


PRACTICE 1 Spanish Grand Prix - VIDEO

The first problem with the Circuit De Barcelona-Catalunya Sergio Perez had a bumpy ride and always bounced up and down the final corner of the track, many of the Racers are not comfortable at all, and on the Ferrari Carlos Sainz was the Guiniepig for a lot of upgrades so they can get analysis on what is great with the new upgrades, well the 2 Red Bulls is leading the 1st Practice of their life and Esteban Ocon was really motivated in the 1st practice, for sure,



PRACTICE 2 Spanish Grand Prix - VIDEO

George Russell was not so lucky enough in getting into the gravel, but it was OK maybe change the tires with Hard this time so he can be safe from those gravels, got this race it was Max Verstappen who lead again followed by Fernando Alonzo, and Nico Hulkenberg at 3rd, Sergio Perez at 4th and on the 5th place Esteban Ocon,

We need a new bet, can RBR win all the races this year?
Yes/No, yes should be under 2.00: 1 


Btw we will have a small probability of rain this weekend, but very slim.

I would love to take even 100x on that bet, but no bookie will go for it, too bad we can't just make a multibet for every race until end of the season!

Ocon seems to be doing very well in practice again, very tempted to put him very near podium but with the unhappiness over the roads and as you say small chance for rain, maybe better to leave my picks alone.

I think the Probability of Rain is taken off right now as the 3rd practice is at its end, all F1 Machines at in their Red Soft tires, right now as life continues, and after seeing the 1st and 2nd races and looking at the progress of P3 Max Verstappen is still on the lead and on the 1st place for all the practices race, maybe there is an expected rain but I think will be later and will fall after the race,

Right now we can not make a bet because the market is not available, well I want to get into qualification betting but right now it is not available,

Esteban Ocon really did well with the 1st practice however on the 2nd practice he landed in the 5th, and with Practice 3 is making progress Ocon right now seeing the live he is in the 16th Position, here is the live LINK,


News for F1 right now the Ferrari has some great upgrades and it feels good right now they are targeting the qualification right now, but in Practice 3 I think they are likely checking the upgrade quality in action, here are the LINK

This would probably be the only bet which seem viable at this point since Red bull had a thing called bounce off the wall boosts during monaco.
Sounded like something out of a mario kart video game upgrade so to have your speed increased in game.

Your right, they are anticipating rain during qualifying atleast which begins in less than two hours.
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.fp3-verstappen-leads-perez-and-hamilton-in-rain-affected-final-practice.75xOeA0UkwWIgBDelPsXPV.html

Practice 3 results below:
1 Max Verstappen Red Bull Racing    1:13.664
2 Sergio Perez Red Bull Racing    +0.250s
3 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes    +0.408s
4 Carlos Sainz Ferrari    +0.576s
5 Fernando Alonso Aston Martin    +0.600s

Nothing had really changed from the previous runs expect Hulkenberg being in the top 5.
This looks more like what we can expect it to be after the race tomorrow.

I think the Probability of Rain is taken off right now as the 3rd practice is at its end, all F1 Machines at in their Red Soft tires, right now as life continues, and after seeing the 1st and 2nd races and looking at the progress of P3 Max Verstappen is still on the lead and on the 1st place for all the practices race, maybe there is an expected rain but I think will be later and will fall after the race,

It rained in Practice 3 but it was not a heavy downpour so most of the cars didn't switch with the Wet or Intermediate Tires, and likely it is a great decision not to go with those tires, but Qualifier Race has already done and I will surely post who has won and will be on the 1st position for the Race,

Right now we can not make a bet because the market is not available, well I want to get into qualification betting but right now it is not available,

Esteban Ocon really did well with the 1st practice however on the 2nd practice he landed in the 5th, and with Practice 3 is making progress Ocon right now seeing the live he is in the 16th Position, here is the live LINK,

Esteban Ocon really didn't lose any hope yet, even with those tremendous mistakes and wrong calls it is really part of the race, but this is his last chance because the race is going to be tomorrow and he must show something but Qualifying Race is not for me he just needs to find a way to turn this over,

I wasn't able to watch qualifying today, so, I can only comment it from highlights. I can't believe how Russel and Hamilton colided. It wouldn't be something strange during race, but qualifying - c'mon. No questions about Verstappen's pole, but some results surprised me, like Perez out of Top 10 or Norris in 3rd place.
As I understand, rain is expected tomorrow, interesting how it's going to change things.

It's unfortunate that you missed the qualifying session,rain can definitely change things in a race, introducing additional challenges and opportunities. Wet conditions require different driving techniques and can mix up the order of the grid. It will be interesting to see how the drivers adapt to the rain and how it affects the race dynamics.

The weather will be like today.
Cloudy with some drops of rank, 30% of rain according to google weather.
Even with rain is the car to beat.

Wanna go crazy? If heavy rain will drop bet on Mclearens, high risk huge reward.

In an interview with George Russell, it was said that it was a miscommunication from Mercedes Radio and George Russell was looking at the Ferrari car and not looking at the side mirror where he could see his teammate Lewis Hamilton Here is a brief explanation for the collision of the two Mercedes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5zmmHkfcvw

Verstappen and Perez might have the same type of RB19 cards but their skills and talent are not the same as Max Verstappen is really a genius in driving and surely not only in the actual F1 machine but also with the Race Sim I think Race Sim can surely help in memorizing the actual tracks with the Race Sim,

And their Decision to change the right sets of tires when the raindrops, is surely a big aspect added when it rains, but for me, Max Verstappen will always be number 1 in this race, rain or shine this man has proven that he is really good at qualifying in both conditions while Sergio Perez keeps on making mistakes even though they have the same RB19 machine,

I want Ferrari to surely take the lead but after watching this video The SF-23 keeps on bouncing the track on the Curb and white stripe on the other hand the RB19 keeps its composure and Verstappen keeps the RB19 in control while they have the same position their car performance is very different, and we can surely say that Max Verstappen is accustomed to his RB19 while Charles Leclerc it's and SF-23 that is ride height sensitive on the rear floor, like in the video provided

Boring, another pole for Verstappen, so I don't see him losing this one. What sort of surprised me more is Sainz taking second place on starting grid, and Leclerc having a tough fight from the near bottom. And of course we were talking about Stroll, now he is looking in a good position (but still don't trust him to take points).

Everything for Ferrari rests on Sainz now!

Sainz in P2 is special for the fans in Spain.
Surprising this is the first time Max has taken pole position in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Gasly had penalties for blocking two drivers during qualifying so that moved Norris and Hamilton up on the grid.
Funny to see all the team's high on the leaderboard (Red Bull, Mercedes & Ferrari) have their wingmen in the bottom 10.

According to the weather forecast it is a mixed bag with clouds rolling in and from the screens they just showed the track is sunny yet you can see rather dark clouds on the horizon. So we just might see wet conditions near the end of the race.

Aston Martin main problem about this its.... Lance Stroll he its not being capable of score points, when Alonso its a mchine with this car.
Ferrari in the other side have much more problems, the car as always doesnt end to be the faster they need.

Hamilton is likely to see podium in this race, mercedes has good straight speed and top 3 is not impossible for Hamilton. I think that checo will push the top 3 by relying on the car a bit below it, but now I can't trust checo because of what they've done for 2 races, this man was planning to chase the world championship. Verstappen will probably finish first if there is no problem. As for sainz, there is a lot of stress when there is someone behind him, especially if they fight with hamilton, hamilton eats raw sainz, it doesn't give any confidence. I hope grandpa alonso sees the podium again. Another race that will be very unpleasant and boring as it has been since the beginning of the season.

Race Highlights | 2023 Spanish Grand Prix - VIDEO

At the beginning of the race, Lando Norris has broken up his front wings and actually, this is one great race because there is no one that got into an accident so for me it is a very great sign for that to happen, and lap 26 when Red Bull Max Verstappen is stopping into the pits, changing into Hard tires, and in lap 38 I was really surprised with both Mercedes to landed both on the 2nd position and the 3rd position and taken the seat of Sergio Perez, those upgrades for Mercedes that they made really is worth it, while Lap 52 was an action when Fernando Alonzo pass right into Esteban Ocon, it was an incredible move, Yuki Tsunoda has given a penalty by forcing Zhou Guanyu off the road, but I think it is not Yuki's fault at all, and surely Max Verstappen won again Lewis Hamilton will get onto the Podium by getting the 2nd place and George Russell is sharing the podium with Max and his teammate in the 3rd place,

Not a surprising performance for Max Verstappen to take another win in the race, Carlos Sainz must be on the 2nd pole but eventually the other driver keeps on passing them it was a frustrating sight for them and what surprises me is for both Mercedes getting into the podium and taking the 2nd and 3rd position, those upgrades really improve their cars,

Hamilton is likely to see podium in this race, mercedes has good straight speed and top 3 is not impossible for Hamilton. I think that checo will push the top 3 by relying on the car a bit below it, but now I can't trust checo because of what they've done for 2 races, this man was planning to chase the world championship.

And Lewis Hamilton eats Carlos Sainz Raw again, actually, both George Russell and Hamilton eat the Ferrari even, and even outraced Sergio Perez Straight into Podium for the Mercedes, it is quite surprising for them to get the podium right now here in the Podium videos,
