You can't have a championship race with only a very good driver without a good car. But with a very good car and an average driver you can do this. For example I think Perez can collect the needed amount of points for a championship even if there isn't Verstappen ahead of him. He finished the driver standings in the 2nd position in the previous season. He managed to take the 2nd position after Verstappen in the first 2 races this year too.

I like more the direct translation to spanish, who give me something like "terminado, no listo". Maybe in english can be better  say "finished, not ready". But is difficult to translate phrase.

Its funny because "habis" also means finished, but usually just to say something is over. And 'siap' means finished or complete but also means ready, but really depending on the style you say it, so yes I understand I think what you mean.

Sometimes our movies have subtitles and in English it sounds so retarded, and the same way other, English movies with our subtitles sound totally wrong lol

We have sometimes local commentators for F1 and it's so silly. They end up just borrowing English phrases a lot so it doesn't sound weird. Like 'overtake' and even 'safety car' because the local versions are not usable.

He did so last year where difference with other teams was much bigger than it is now.I think right now Perez will have quite a lot of difficulty to come second especially as soon as we enter the European races where Perez had big trouble during last season.This season is quite different and I am sure that the Ferrari is much stronger this year and I am sure in Europe we will see much stronger battles even against Verstappen himself.

Perez first issue is qualy as always, he ended up starting froma not so good position so he has to recover this positions very fast or the gap build in front is imposible to cut after in the race. And now this year is worst because seems like they dont have anymore that super advantage against Ferrari or McClaren at least as we see until now.

Ferrari is the only team that can seriously challenge RedBull team, and I think Sainz will have additional motivation because this should be his last season with Ferrari.
People think that drivers are the only thing important in Formula 1, but there is so many things that need to click for someone to be on podium in the end of race.

Ferrari really looks like the second fastest team right now. Things have started really badly for Mercedes. Aston Martin couldn't make a similar start to the previous season. You know how competitive Alonso was in the first times of that season.    McLaren is also behind Ferrari now. When it comes to Sainz he has been really impressive so far. Do you think that Ferrari even rushed about their agreement with Hamilton?

I think that McLaren is not that far behind,they were racing extremely fast in the last few laps of the race making fastest lap out of fastest lap until Leclerc managed to get the better lap out of them.The problem was that both Ferrari was running very fast like McLaren was and judging from what they have achieved last year I am sure they have gathered valuable data to implement better upgrades than last season and who knows we may have a trio this time,McLaren and Ferrari like old times however in this case both fighting the Redbull "evil".The more teams upgrade their cars during this season the better for us all.

Kick Sauber and Alpine team are one of the worst F1 teams this season.
I said it before season started that it is not enough to change the name and design and expect to win points in this competitions.
What do you expect is going to be the last placed F1 team in the end of the season, Kick Sauber, Alpine, Williams or other?

I dont know because for me in the bottom always relly a problem in which team is worst, because sometimes a team score a few points in only one race and they are by far the worst but with only that points they can stay out of the two last position for example.

By far no matter what is Alpine, because they are a HUGE team with a factory behind and they have always to step up no step down in this way.

In points or performance...... is gonna be dificult, Alpine i think is gonna upgrade a little and grab some points and get out of that bottom, for Sauber and Williams....... i dont really know but for now Kick team is a top contender for last position.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Williams, Kick Sauber and Alpine all have 0 points now. I don't believe Williams will stay like this. Albon is really trying and I think he will collect some valuable points for his team. But I'm not sure about the other 2 teams. I'm not too surprised with Kick Sauber's condition but Alpine have started just terrible...

Alpine have really skilled drivers like Ocon and Gasly also but because of having a really slow car none of them can show their skills properly. 

I still don't think Alpine would be at the last place among them. They would improve the car in time and be more competitive. It feels like Kick Sauber will finish the season as the worst team for now.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Well i think in this season all the teams have very good drivers in their squads, we can only do a few expections and that expections are clearly two guys, Lance Stroll and Logan Sargeant.

THis two for me dont deserve the seat in F1. We can discuss some others like the Haas drivers or Ricciardo but not because they are not good only because they are old and they already had their chances in F1. So we want to see new faces.

[swogerino]

I believe that Stroll since the time he was driving for his first car like BWT sponsor,it was Force India I believe his performance has been only downgrading and never in upside so I think he is in Formula 1 only because his dad is a Formula 1 team boss,that of Aston Martin and I find it hard he will be replaced no matter his poor performance.

For Sargeant,USA had never any good driver in Formula 1 that Sargeant to be a good one so I would not expect much from him,also the car he runs never performs well during these late races and also the fact that Williams decided to give Albon a chance to drive his car can only impact negatively in him.

Yeah i agree with you, but i also think Logan Sargeant time in F1 finished in the past season, this one is only a gift because Williams doesnt found a better driver or one with good money to replace him, he last season was horrible.
Albon makes look him like a F4 driver.
Yes the car doesnt help so much but he doesnt make any good.

Stroll is a very bad driver with a few fits of lucidity like when he do the pole, but that is clearly not suficient to stay in F1, for worst for him like in the other case Alonso makes him looks like a person who doesnt know how to drive.

In the last race the gap wasn't huge of course. But it is going to be really challenging for McLaren to get ahead of them in constructor standings. Probably it won't happen either as long as Ferrari don't mess up big time. But there is a really serious chance for McLaren to finish ahead of Mercedes after this great start. Especially if McLaren get another big update like in the previous season it can be more possible.

I wonder what's going on with Mercedes. This is a really terrible start. Russell's crash was unfortunate maybe but Hamilton got an engine failure.

Or Red Bull will not eventually ruin the advancement for Ferrari to keep on winning just like what they did in Australia and maybe McLaren could get on with the pace and takes the lead with Ferrari for me Ferrari wins this by luck it wasn't for the big screw up on what happened with Max Verstappen's tires then I think the domination run was still for the Red Bull if Ferrari and McLaren would want total control of the situation the engineers for both teams needs to equal the playing field and match the new and improved RB20 because last time will not repeat to happen but for sure if that could happen again, Ferrari and McLaren has a chance in snatching the lead for sure.

FORMULA 1 MSC CRUISES JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 2024

As we are heading for the 1st practice for the Japanese Grand Prix let's dive in with the following track that each team will drive on and that is the Suzuka International Racing Course, which has a number of 53 laps, a Circuit Length of 5.807km, Race Distance of 307.471 km while Lewis Hamilton is familiar with this track and for the track record on 2019, with the snaking ‘S’ Curves, the two commitment-rewarding Degners and the white-knuckle ride of 130R racers surely love this Circuit and in this Suzuka Race where the controversial race of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost have surely left fans speechless.

Today when i wake up i hope to see some consistent results from the FP...... and well the FP2 was a joke, so i have to wait until FP3 to have any clue on which team car is the better option.

The only problem is surely i cant see or either check the FP3 so im in a big trouble...

[ILuckyGuyI]

Another early race for me and probably most of us here... I guess I wouldn't be able to get up before qualifying so it is better to make the picks today.    EBP is very important in the end.

FP1 was dominated by Red Bull drivers. Seeing some progress at Mercedes side was also nice. Sainz was ahead of Leclerc also by the way. I wonder if he will finish this race ahead of him too. FP2 didn't have anything to show us as we didn't watch anything proper because of rain. Predicting the exact podium is really important for me as I have come down a lot in the standings. Hopefully we have a good race this weekend. 

[CLS63]

Don't forget to make your predictions as the qualifying session is going to be at an early time tomorrow. The Suzuka track is a quite suitable track for Red Bull cars. Besides Red Bull is coming here with a new update package. However Red Bull didn't have enough chance to try the car because of the weather conditions in the second practice session.
