Congratulations to @casperBGD for winning the yellow jersey in the Belgium race. Once again, Verstappen succeeded in winning the race, while Leclerc and Perez also managed to secure their positions in the top ranks of the Belgian Grand Prix. My bet today was in favor of Piastri, but unfortunately, my hopes were dashed.

Come on Perez, we only need you to fight a little against Max, man that was so easy to Verstappen to surpass him.

Sainz, what the fuck you do on the first corner, he ruined the Piastri race.

And yes, i agree F1 its very very boring now. Vettel its now fearing for his record.

Sainz, what the fuck you do on the first corner, he ruined the Piastri race.

Sainz really wasn't to blame for that one as he was heading way ahead into the first corner and Piastri tried to go for a gap, which wasn't really there as it's usually a tight corner.



Going for an overtake there on the inside is just too risky and will likely result in damage.

Unfortunately it ruined both drivers race because overtaking in that corner in 1st lap shenanigans has always lead to many crashes here.


Great race from Yuki, who was able to get a top 10 finish. After Ricciardo showed a great performance last race in Hungary, Yuki took a revanche now in Belgium.


Congrats @casperBDG as well, very good predictions

Congrats to Casper for winning this week yellow cap,personally I cannot complain either as despite a lot of things changed for my prediction because of Sainz and Piastri I still managed to be 3rd for this race too.The leaderboard is not update yet in Superbru website but personally I think as long as someone is able to be in the top 3 spots in many consecutive races,only benefits will reap toward the end of the season,so I am happy for myself no matter that it was an extremely boring race to tell the truth,the rain did come and unfortunately did nothing to change things.

Piastri and Mclearen risked it all.
Even without the collision, Piastri was doomed for their choice of fully committing the car to the rain.

If we got a full rainy race Piasti and Norris were probably end in 1st and 2nd positions, they gabled, and they lost.

Firstly, congrats to @casperBGD for taking the yellow cap this week!  As for the race it wasn't a very exciting one clearly. Verstappen was again unstoppable despite starting in 6th place. Perez couldn't keep his lead against him for a very long time. Verstappen was just too fast to overtake him comfortably. Perez couldn't defend him.

The incident between Sainz and Piastri was really unfortunate. Piastri pushed his luck too much from the inside and it didn't end good for both of them. It was a rookie mistake. He could have been more patient and go for an attack later after leaving that turn behind.

Sometimes gambling does not pay off and it was this unfortunate case for the McLarens during this race.Their error was to believe to much in the rain and when the rain did come it only lasted a few minutes without real intensity in the track although it rained quite a lot in the pit arena in the garages of the cars as we saw that.McLaren I think made the right choice in the sense that they wanted a win also in this season and they thought what better time than now to gamble with our setup for a complete wet race which unfortunately did not come true for them.

[CLS63]

Now we have entered a one-month break in the season. We are going to continue with Zandvoort track after this break.

Verstappen has opened the gap way more with Perez in the driver standings. He is so comfortable in the races that he even offered his team to do an extra pit in the latest race just for practicing. Perez has started to make some improvement recently which is important for him. Horner already announced Perez for next season as well though. But this is Formula 1 so everything can change anytime. Hence Perez had better keep this up.

[cryptofrka]

I finally watched the race yesterday, hoping for some excitement because the penalty to Verstappen. Still, his car is too good - and he's a great driver as well so it was the same again.

I don't like the TV broadcast of F1 - and therefore rarely watch it. Looks slow and is extremely boring for me.
Yesterday my friend showed me how he watches through the app, where you can choose the driver and watch directly from the top of his car all the time - and I had a fantastic time watching like that.

I plan to buy the subscription for that, so expect me to be much better in the pool next season when I'll actually be watching the races

You're so right. Spa race on TV was a mess yesterday and I barely watched it to be honest because we had 4 d/c on TV during the race and one of those was Max vs Perez when Max went on leading the race so that was a bit frustrating.

At least the F1 subscription doesn't have the last year problems were you couldn't watch the race or some driver camera perspective but this year I've read and heard only good news from their app and I'm thinking next year to buy it too. Another reason would be that my TV productions are missing a lot of overtakes , battles from positions , pit-stops and many others ...it's like they forgot what fans wants to see during a race , right ?

[püsür]

Another easy win for Max, F1 is quite boring now.

Was much better with the previous generation of cars, but this generation ruined the competition.

No one expected otherwise in this race and it is normal that a great driver which is now 3 times world champion as I doubt he will lose this one,he has no opponent,he pass his team mate like he is driving a Haas or Apha Tauri and not like the team mate is driving the same car as him,in this context is super boring the F1.This is super boring because the fault of all other manufacturers who are not keeping up with the Honda engine,yes the same engine we all made fun during 2015-2016 at McLaren which Alonso called GP2 yet now is winning Championships like crazy without removing anything to Redbull aerodynamics it is the engine power that wins you races.

Although I think Perez doesn't deserve the Redbul, we have to accept that there is a difference between the cars. As for the question of why they are doing this, examples such as the vettel webber conflict can be counted. That is, the message that you can't be fast if we don't want you to be fast, you have to follow our directives. Perez managed to lead the first 13 laps on soft tires, maintaining the difference with Verstappen. When they pitted and switched to the medium, Verstappen suddenly started to fly. Since the drivers and the track did not change, what can explain the emergence of such a big difference with only one pit? If anyone says that Verstappen did not push until the first pit, they must be dreaming. We all know that even if you tell this guy not to push Perez until the pit, he will not listen. Either Perez slowed down on purpose or there is a big difference in setting on the medium and this is not normal.

I don't think this judgement is right either,what about those races where Perez won and created a good distance against Verstappen?This means that Perez has lost it in the last several races and that is why you cannot explain it with the setting being that much different,of course is different as every driver together with his engineer choose one for the race and it can be different than his team mate yet not in the level to lose 1 second per lap in the same car as this is what happened yesterday in the race.It means Perez has to improve himself and the team got nothing to do to make him slower although I agree if they want they can but before the race and not during the race.

That's the thing with rookies on the grid.  They tend to be inconsistent with all the traffic around them even though they got some pace during quali or the practice sessions.  Even Verstappen had his misses from to time when he first got to drive for Red Bull.

But yeah, Piastri is the guy to watch this season...  Kinda like how Russell was some years back when he was still with Williams.  The guy looks promising but we'll see.

Anyway, Dutch GP next.  Verstappen at 1.25.  Lol.  I feel like something unexpected is gonna happen.

I am afraid you are going to wait some time as the Dutch GP is not near at all,it is after the holidays on 26 August and there is plenty of time until then  .I don't see any unexpected thing to happen here as he will be racing in front of the home fans,I doubt anyone else will be able to challenge him for the pole position which would in turn be an easy race win just like he did last time around.

The only thing stopping him this year are mechanical failures yet we have to see one as Redbull beside being super fast is also super reliable so that 1.25 may be a really big amount of odd seen from this perspective  .

[buwaytress]

No need to talk about dominance from this season's winner elect but yeah, Piastri let many, many of us down. And I slipped back to 8th, which I guess is my actual position -- two races in a row where I am way, way off the lead, but now we are past the halfway mark and absolutely looking good for those in top spots. Super round for you, CasperBGD!

Didn't know there was pp subscription for different viewing, I might ask cryptofrka for a peek if he really buys that... I remember a few years back when La Liga introduced player cams for football -- not my thing at all but I imagine it's a hell lot more interesting for F1, especially if they let you hear driver radio.

Next stop in a month, and in home territory...

[darxiaomi]

Sainz, what the fuck you do on the first corner, he ruined the Piastri race.

Sainz really wasn't to blame for that one as he was heading way ahead into the first corner and Piastri tried to go for a gap, which wasn't really there as it's usually a tight corner.

I have a very diferent view on that maneuver, for me its pure Sainz fault, he come to the turn really fast and he its gonna miss the turn so he put full breaks (destroying his tyres) and yes Piastri made the decision to take the inside line, much before but Sains breaking and turning so abruptly make him squeeze against the wall.

Russell hasn't been impressive for a long time. He did great things for Williams and deserved his place at Mercedes as well. His first times here were really exciting to watch. But this seasons isn't going on very well for him. He is 49 points behind Hamilton right now which is quite bad I think. Because Mercedes aren't doing the same Red Bull do now. They are giving both of their drivers a chance to compete with each other. But Russell can't bring the competition to Hamilton now.

Netherlands is Verstappen's home so I'm expecting a huge domination by him there. But there is still a long time for the race of course.

I don't have big complaints about TV broadcast of F1. Sometimes it's difficult to catch all interesting moments on track, but if they miss, we get replay of it. Only thing that annoys me - if something interesting happens in the middle of grid on final laps, they often don't show it because they focus on showing how Verstappen finish. And we don't even get replays of it as they show celebrations on podium.
F1 TV subscription with onboard videos is cool thing, but I think it can't fully replace main feed. But i think it's great option to follow race on second screen.

Yup, good thing the EPL will be starting the next weekend after the coming one.    I haven't really been following a lot of football a lot as of late but with how boring F1 really has been going, I could get back into the EPL again.  It could be an interesting season with City being City, Poch at Chelsea and Klopp go try to get Liverpool back on track.  There's also Arteta and the Gunners and the dark horse with Eddie Howe and his boys at Newcastle United. 

United will end 6th or lower at the table.  Lmaooo.

For me though August is the most boring month considering there will be no races or just on race in the last weekend of it but I also know that drivers need to get their holidays done and August is the best month,I go on holidays too in the last 2 weeks of August.

For football is great that is coming back but the initial games I think we will see a lot of surprise which is always the case in the Premier League,I agree though Newcastle is truly the dark horse of the Premier League and I expect them this year to be fighting for the top spot.
