There is a higher chance of having rain. The previous two were 7% while there is a 24% chance according to some gp blogs for this one. So we might have a soggy one for this Australian GP.

Yes, we are finally back with another F1 action this week! 

The odds for qualifying winner:



The odds for race winner:



The current odds for the 'biggest favourites' are like this. However there is actually an overwhelming favourite like Verstappen.    I would really like to see a different winner this week. Apart from that, I think that it might be nice to try out Leclerc's taking pole position @3.50. Ferrari has a car which is more powerful in single lap times.

By the way it is still not completely clear whether Sainz will be ready to race. However he was seen in the paddock so this could be a positive sign for him to race. I see Bearman's name in the odds for now though whatever gambling website I check.

[rdbase]

Don't think they have released who would be racing for Ferrari yet.
As with what happened to him, it wasn't released until the day of qualifying. I remember that cause there was a blank spot on the markets without Sainz name there ahead of the Q1 race for a couple of hours.

I would suspect they will have the rookie continue on until Carlos fully recovers. Why put stress on him since with the sitting in the car and the vibrations of the track while in the cockpit of the F1 car could cause those stiches to reopen.

Wish for a different driver to get pole position this week and if it is anybody then it is Leclerc.
Looking for somebody to step up so Verstappen odds for the next race gets lower than 1.50x again.
So I can bet on him. But not for this one since 1.18x is still to low of an odd to place any amount on.

[FanEagle]

Australia, back in the day first race too, is quite tough at the first turn and that's the place where all the "fun" could happen if anything happens. I do not see how that would change any other way, if the first turn of the first lap, like right into the race, nothing big happens then the rest of the race nothing will follow. Because, we already know Red Bull is good, and nobody wants to risk making a pass there, they will just pass at the straight and not really put any danger anywhere else.

I think the race also has pretty good and less risky places to pass all over, so if nothing bad happens at the start then rest of the race will be boring to watch. At this point the only thing we care about will be who will be the second and third team, and Ferrari may actually do better here.

There is an update on Carlos Sainz's condition.

Source: Formula 1 official website

It looks like he is set to be back in his seat for this race week.    He made a statement about his current condition and it was positive. This is pretty good news for Ferrari. I really admired Bearman's performance in his first experience but it is much more important for the team to have one of their main drivers back.

We can see Ferrari collecting many more points this week if things don't go south. Because you know how often Ferrari has had problems in the recent years.

It seems that I missed the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia GP and missed out on all practice runs and qualifying for the Australian GP that is going right now but even though I have missed that I still have the main race for this Grand Prix, I was not surprised in the following 1st two events because many really are expecting this to happen and this is the result for people that missed the 1st two races

BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2024


As expected Max Verstappen was still in the lead in this 1st race and dominating the race in Bahrain, with his co-teammate Sergio Perez I really thought that Sergio Perez would never recover back again, but just like last season he also was dominating at the start of the season with Ferrari in this case Carlos Sainz was in the 3rd position for this race.

SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2024


Another event was Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez leading the race with Verstappen in the lead and 2nd was Sergio Perez while the 3rd place was still for Ferrari but this time it was Charles Leclerc in the Podium.

AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2024

Now in the Australian Grand Prix, most practice runs were not for the Red Bull team because Ferrari was forcing their way in those practice races but in the qualifying Max Verstappen managed to get his way in the starting position when he managed to snatch the 1st position in the qualifying next Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, and Charles Leclerc in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th position while Sergio Perez was on the 6th position for this Australian GP.

Think it was in the first lap which all the problems started happening to RB & Mercs.
Hadn't watched the race as it was freaking 1 am in the morning and nobody has got time for that nonsense after a fun Saturday night out.
They will re-televise the race in it's entirety so will be able to witness what occurred then.

He must of recovered quickly enough so that he took this race and on home ground, so well done to Sainz because from what I remember an announcer saying earlier it had been only two weeks since he was cut open to have his appendix removed.
https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/sainz-wins-melbourne-weeks-appendicitis/story?id=108441778

You were spot on with your predictions for a Ferrari collection of points from Melbourne.

It was really an unbelievable race. Verstappen lost his brakes and was out of the race very early. This was where the fun was starting.  

After his recovery Sainz made a huge comeback. He even won the Grand Prix which was top work by him. I wonder whether there was any team order for their drivers to maintain their places. If there wasn't then Sainz was really much faster than Leclerc during the whole race.

It was a nightmare for Mercedes on the other hand. Engine failure for Hamilton and Russell's terrifying crash in last lap... The interesting thing is there wasn't any red flag after. Just imagine Russell being hit in his car in the middle of the track.  

You were spot on with your predictions for a Ferrari collection of points from Melbourne.

Yes, but I didn't expect this many points though.

So many bad spots for Redbull in the last 2 weeks right ? They have internal problems ( bigger and bigger ) , they have a bit of drivers problems ( Perez seems to be forgotten in that team in 2024 season ) and now they seems to have small car issues that might transition from a race weekend to another. Also , I'm very mad on McLaren and hopefully Piastri will keep this in his mind for the next races and whenever he will get that full green light , no one will be able to stand and face Piastri on track. This kid is the next gem in F1 and I pray Max will still have a championship car where Piastri will have his.

They had just replaced the power unit on Verstappen's car so this could of caused the problems in that turn when Sainz overtook him causing the problems like a domino effect.
Just look at what his rear tire looked like when he pulled into the pits on the lap where he had to retire:

Way too much damage to the entire wheel well. The brakes caught on fire and of course the tire melting causing the cloud of black smoke while driving into the pit lane.

Just finished seeing the crash at the end of Russell and surprised they didn't red flag it either. Cars were still coming in and had to avoid the Mercedes turned on it's side.
Instead the race ended under a safety car for the last lap where Leclerc was only a second and half behind Sainz.

We will be having another two weeks off before the next race.
Enough time for Red Bull to figure out the issues and get Verstappen back on course.

It is inevitable when a sudden problem occurs even the engineer of the car can not do a thing or doesn't have any explanation on what may have caused the problem, in that issue with what happened to RedBull, many were really surprised at what happened I was really surprised as Max Verstappen is pretty much well known in this kind of sports and losing, the last time Verstappen gotten a DNF was at the Australian Grand Prix in 2022 and this time it occurred again at Australia.

Oscar Piastri on the other hand is getting there even Lando Norris may become something big in the future even though those names are well known in this sports after max Verstappen have said something about his early retirement I think those new faces will become something big in the future or if they could attain a Red Bull machine.

Enough time for Red Bull to figure out the issues and get Verstappen back on course.

The cause of that fire can be determined by the engineers but could they apply a solution in time as next is the Japanese GP Suzuka Circuit where Max Verstappen has done a perfect job and dominated the Practice runs, qualifying runs and the main race but if his car would not be ready by that time this will end up in a bad way for the Red Bull as Sergio Perez also was causing problem aswell.

[emrecemsan]

I don't think Red Bull will have a big difficulty in solving this issue. I assume they have the best engineers now to figure out a solution. This didn't happen in the first 2 races so it was a bit surpising to see this kind of a brake issue. Ferrari really had a good opportunity after this incident and they took it very nicely.

But if Red Bull have a run without much problem in the rest of the season I don't feel like Ferrari will be able to keep up with them.    Verstappen is already unstoppable under normal conditions and Perez has also made a really good start to the season. Even Verstappen was able to collect enough amount of points for Red Bull's championship last season you know.

[rdbase]

Wonder if Red Bull had enough time to collect all the data so it runs smoothly for Max at the Suzuka Circuit as @jakelyson has mentioned where Verstappen had been flawless this past season.

Should make for a rather interesting race week that's for certain!

The Japanese Grand Prix is about to begin tomorrow with practice sessions and the final race on Sunday,
Here is the Suzuka track they will be racing on for this race weekend:

This would be a challenging track for the drivers with the S-Curves around the first sector, it's pretty amazing to see some action there. Most cars would have to change in configurations with elevation changes and DRS zone positioning. I can't wait to watch the race.

Nice track I would think they run their Suzuka crotch rockets on so it would explain the S-Curve.

Both the practices were run and just waiting on the third one which will take place in around 14 hours from now.
Looks like Verstappen took the first one and Piastri the second:

Never expected that many teams and drivers didn't try the wet track as RB Honda RBPT's Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton, and McLaren's Oscar Piastri were the only drivers  that had time, and tried out the wet track on the 2nd practice and finished the race it was evident that RB Racing Honda RBPT Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez the 2 leaders didn't try out the wet track ASTON MARTIN's Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll didn't show up in the 2nd practice while George Russell was the only Mercedes that didn't come out on the track,

While the results for Practice 3 are out and just like in Practice 1 Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez dominated the scene, and Mercedes's George Russell has come in the 3rd place for sure the cooling upgrade of the RB20 has again proven very effective as the Red Bull don't need to risk it in the 2nd practice to prove themselves that they are the fastest team but not risking it has a better reward.

Qualifying was this morning and Verstappen captured pole position as expected.    Perez really deserves to be appreciated this season to tell the truth. Because it looks like he has cleared his mind finally.

The only doubt I have about Perez is his performance in the second half of the season. He started great in 2023 too but started to get stuck below the expectations after a while. I hope we don't see the same scenario again. Leclerc is still having problems in his car. He is still not able to show his full potential while Sainz is doing much better. It looks like Sainz will make the rivalry with him 3-0 in the races so far.

Nice work by Norris as he took 3rd place, maybe a podium might be seen who knows.

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.

Race is in 15-16 hours from now so those who wish to listen to it and watch it live as a graph with the drivers as dots on the screen can do so on this yourube channel:
