Here in Romania we have a weekend dedicated entirely to Scuderra F1 Ferrari and right now you can go and visit the SF 21 car that is being exposed for public view ( without paying any entry ticket ) and I'm glad I went to see this beauty live but also couldn't maintain myself to buy a Perroni because this entire event is being sponsored by them. What I didn't like is the fact they had little things to actually buy ...no lego cars and no hoodies as this was the 2nd reason I went there but overall , very glad that I've saw the car live.

Last time I've went to a such event was back in 2005 with my dad where we were able to see LIVE Alonso's car but I remember my dad has to pay a very expensive ticket because the event was entirely about cars and Alonso's car was the main point of attraction , followed closely by a full simulator of BMW Sauber of Montoya but unfortunately there were way to many people that wanted to try that simulator and my dad didn't have the necessary patience to wait his turn hahaha

It is nostalgic to read your story, for several things, one of them is that era of Alonso, it was incredible, he is without a doubt one of the most charismatic champions in Formula 1, something that Max one lacks.

Max, by the way, I'm not sure, but he has never won the fan-voted driver of the race award. 

The other thing is, the issue of simulators, they were something exclusively at specialized fairs, today it within the reach of those who can pay for it. Although there are different prices, it can be said that with a small effort any fan can start with a basic one.



Incredible or not, a Formula 1 prize has not been held in Argentina since the last century... But there is noise, imperceptible...

some little news regarding formula one:

Magnussen is at risk of suspension for his Formula One driving licence, with everything he did last week he lost a lot of points and if he reaches zero he will be banned.

Kimi Antonelli could take Hamilton's place next year, tests will be done during the year and the human benchmark will be Mick Schumacher who is currently Mercedes' third driver.

Lecler changed the track engineer, out of nowhere. The reason is not yet clear

This isn't just because of Miami GP, it's within the whole season, right? From Saudi Arabian GP up until now in Miami. He accumulated at least 10 penalty points IIRC. That's close to the limit. We will see how he will do with the upcoming GP.

That is some great story to know and a thrill for any true fan of the sport to see in person.
So very lucky you as there are F1 public exhibitions popping up in some major cities around the world from the popularity of the sport grabbing hold and they don't want to left behind.

Those are some interesting tid bits of news especially Kimi to me as it gives where Mercs headspace is at with who they might choose to replace Lewis's seat. As you had mentioned, tests will be done first to see where Mick could fit in and who could be lead driver for the team.

I'm so glad to hear that Leclerc has finally got rid of Xavi.    Because I believe he is one of the worst race engineers ever in F1. We see that not only in real life, but also in F1 Manager game. 

Xavi is just terrible with communication and strategies. I have no doubt Leclerc has also been fed up with him. Bryan Bozzi is Leclerc's new race engineer now. He has been with Ferrari since 2012. He has been working on wind tunnel, aerodynamics and more until this time. I hope that Leclerc doesn't have similar problems from now on.


According to recent news, Domenicali wants more sprint races in a season. Maybe even a sprint race on every race week.

That is some concerning news to hear out of the Ferrari team but probably welcomed since that is were they are lacking this season and in the previous ones.

Ahead of their home race at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola.

Yea it is nostalgic , especially with that Alonso car but I think in general Alonso is a good guy and has a great character but the people around him made him look evil in that period , especially the one with McLaren ( 2006-2007 ).

@rdbase , So true bro. It was a great experience to see SF 21 in live person and the amount of young people and kids that were at that event was insane and I'm glad the new generation is picking up with F1 and hopefully they will turn out to be forever fans of this great motor sport.

Let's look at the weather forecast for the upcoming event in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.


https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/what-is-the-weather-forecast-for-the-2024-emilia-romagna-grand-prix.6bj26UxnbMhdTWTXSkZS7l

FRIDAY, MAY 17 – FP1 AND FP2
Conditions: Partly cloudy. Dry conditions likely throughout practice. Moderate southwesterly wind for both sessions. FP1: 24°C // FP2: 23°C
Maximum temperature expected: 25 Celsius
Minimum temperature expected: 16 Celsius
Chance of rain: <20%

SATURDAY, MAY 18 – FP3 AND QUALIFYING
Conditions: Mostly sunny. Dry conditions expected all day. Light southerly wind. FP3: 24°C // Q: 24°C
Maximum temperature expected: 25 Celsius
Minimum temperature expected: 15 Celsius
Chance of rain: <20%

SUNDAY, MAY 19 – RACE WEATHER
Conditions: Partly cloudy. Slightly unsettled with a chance of showers, mainly in the afternoon and evening. Light easterly wind for the race. RACE: 23°C
Maximum temperature expected: 23 Celsius
Minimum temperature expected: 15 Celsius
Chance of rain: 40%

As long as there will be no flood then it's good. The Friday and Saturday Practice and Qualifying matches might be all dry but the Sunday Race on the other hand seems to have a higher chance of rain.
There has been no wet weather yet for the F1 race in this 2024 season, this might be the first one if ever rain comes on either Friday or Sunday but it seems like all forecasts I've checked are telling that Saturday will be dry.

Regarding odds, where do you prefer to bet?

With Max Verstappen.


Without Max Verstappen.


Take the high risk or keep it safe.
Good luck everyone!

The track at Emilia-Romagna at Imola should commence for this season as scheduled.
Apart from the flooding last year which caused it to be cancelled.

Still nothing interesting or rewarding enough in the just win section, going to wait for the combinations

Ferrari both points is 1.22, a bit too low and still risky, McLaren is 1.57, for now, the one appealing will be is the the triple for the same driver winning with pole and fast lap combo, but I'll wait for the practice while throwing pocket change at Max taking this and Lando top 3.

[boltz]

I'm looking forward to see Sebastian Vettel driving that legendary McLaren MP44 of Senna as that would bring so many memories back and hopefully he will do it a bit slow so the public will actually have the time to admire the car.

Regarding race , I can't see Max losing this one so I think he will take pole , fastest lap and also win the race. I could also see McLaren having a better race than Ferrari and I can also see Mercedes not even catching top 6 with either of the car. 

[FanEagle]

The fact that Max is getting those odds is making things a little boring to bet, thankfully there are some podium bets and that is what I like to do, because betting on who will win doesn't really mean anything to me. Perez is also making it boring this season so far, he has been quite great, last season seems to be a fluke where he had a few unlucky situations, this season he is much more careful and doing better as a result of that.

I believe that we are not going to end up with anything nice when you think about it, it is going to be boring for people who like to bet on these. In any case, I do believe that Max will win, but that is not a shocker, I believe he will win all races, and only be shocked when he doesn't end up winning like last race.

Vettel has only retired several years ago but him driving the McLaren for one last lap would be an instant classic to see.
The resurgence these two young drivers in Norris and Piastri have put back into the McLaren fanbase is undeniable.
But this race is in Ferrari's backyard so you can never count them out on this track.
We will see when the first of the practice races takes place in about half an hour.

@FanEagle
Agree with you on the podium bets as Max is in the zone.

Totally agreed! 1.03 for Verstappen?    I would never want to add such meaningless option into my outrights parlay. I wouldn't add any other options either though because there is no way Verstappen is losing the title to somebody else with a car like this.

But from now on, it looks sensible to give chances to other drivers such as Norris, Leclerc, Sainz to win a race. At least it would be more exciting to watch the race in case of safety cars and other game changer situations. 



I'm thinking of giving a chance to Leclerc @10.00 for this race for example after hearing about the big upgrades. 

Betting on him @6.00 to take pole position is another option I'm considering...

As I said bookies are not impressed by those and not even by the first run in practice, Ferrari just slided to 1.33 from 1.22 for both drivers in points which is really weird but we're only 15 minutes in it. Nobody from the top 10 is shorting in the market other than Max for the winner of the race, but I feel tempted about the qualifying winning team, RB is 8/15.
