Or Ferrari could always let Carlos Sainz stay at Ferrari if he can do well in the remainder of the season, which is hard for him to accomplish for sure if we look at the things that Charles Leclerc has already accomplished with Carlos Sainz's near collision with McLarens Oscar Piastri, and is viewing this as only Oscar Piastri's fault which in my opinion he was the one solely that needs to blame in that incident and not once but with the following Dutch Grand Prix the near Collision would happen again with Oscar Piastri yet again is not a mere coincidence,

As many have not noticed Carlos Sainz is not driving his SF-23 in Practice 1 of the Dutch Grand Prix, This is because the Ferrari is accustomed to giving a chance to newer drivers to get a feel of F1 and this time it is Robert Schwartzman's turn to likely get a change in the near future to be the next driver of Ferrari, Well Carlos Sainz is in good condition and not injured well this is just 1-time thing and after the Practice 1 Carlos Sainz will be back on the Practice 2, so yeah Sainz did compete in the Dutch Grand Prix,


This kind of Injury  is pretty much common in the F1 world because if they can not take their hands on the wheel of the F1 car while they are about to Crash then it is likely injury for the Driver and for sure this is likely F1 team knows about because the crash on the barrier is pretty much common, and can surely happen, so for Ricciardo, it is really interesting if he can return or not, for this season,

You're right, but Ferrari's strategy has been very weak for years, either the wrong strategy or a strategy change too late. And as you say, you can't always blame the drivers. RedBull has invested years of training in the pit stops, Mercedes is also very constant with the pit stops, a mistake like in the last race, when Mercedes changed to the intermediates too late can happen, but with Ferrari this has been the negative standard for years.

Being in a good car and team would really be 50/50 as the wrist injury is a lot to be considered for the new team. Even though he heals by that time, it's possible that other teams would still refuse to give him a seat. He's a great driver and has become aggressive lately, albeit being on a car that is relatively slow compared to the rest of the teams. I think he'd be a great fit to Ferrari or even a second driver on Mercedes, but the chances are preeeeety slim.

Especially with their pitstops.
I remembered briefly while watching the race over this past weekend seeing the mishap by the pit crew forgetting what they were doing out there. Causing Leclerc not get his tyres on his car in time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5WGWXqoVNA
This was the extended version showing exactly what happened.
That is unacceptable for any team in the F1 to do. They have faster tyre changes during practice let alone during a live race.
You really can't blame the drivers for all the errors the Ferrari team has done to themselves this season.

What a bad luck for Daniel Ricciardo, when the luck seems to be shinny for him, he suffer this crash and the injury on his wrist. He was made a really good performance in the Alpha Tauri, now he lost again the seat and time to show he can be again in the F1 for the next season.

I hope to see him again in a good car in 2024, not in Alpha please.

It's still hard to say who will replace Sainz, Ferrari won't take on a top driver in the current situation just to have driven a Ferrari once. At the moment Sainz and Leclerc still have a contract until the end of 2024, I don't think Hamilton will drive his last two years in a Ferrari, the car doesn't meet his expectations and Sainz would have to be paid a lot.

So it's going to be difficult for Ferrari to get a good driver, Perez doesn't have a contract for 2024 yet, but there's no reason for either of them to do that. First and foremost, the Ferrari team needs to improve internally in all areas.

For sure that was a fan-made theory and we are not sure if that could also happen to him for sure it is just a coincidence that it could happen every time a driver could win this Season or year he will surely lose that race next season or year but let's see if Verstappen can cut the curse or he will be a victim of it this week in Monza, let's just hope that a Fatal crash won't happen,

Updated to Daniel Ricciardo's condition, After Practice 2 of the Dutch Grand Prix Daniel Ricciardo suffered an injury when he saw Oscar Piastri in front due to a barrier collision so Daniel Ricciardo decided to intentionally crash his Alpha Tauri into the barrier but because he didn't let loose of the steering wheel he injured his hands in the process, and the X-rays revealed the extend of his injury and needed surgery the next morning so for sure Liam Lawson will still be driving Alpha Tauri this weekend and hopefully Daniel Ricciardo will come back in September for the Singapore Grand Prix

According to the current weather forecast, there could be another rain race in Monza, and due to the high TOP speed values, the RedBulls are once again favourites. But in terms of TOP speed, which is very important in Monza, Ferrari and Mercedes are also close to RedBull. I am rather sceptical about Aston Martin and Alonso being able to repeat the good result, the Aston Martin is not one of the fastest cars on the straight.

Red Bull has as good as the nose in front with the DRS.

Off to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix but can Verstappen avoid the track's curse this weekend?

Wet or Dry I think it is also the Drivers decision when to go to the pit that keeps this Dutchman alive and with no crash for sure he is still simulating what he is going to do That is why Max Verstappen is a different racer for sure Compare to the rest of the drivers we have now, he is breathing and eating racing all they all thinking about it 24/7 because he will never be this good if he doesn't think about it for sure, I feel like he will surely reach the goals of the past champions or even surpass the likes of Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, and for sure if there are Max Verstappen in the F1 Lewis Hamilton will not get his 9th championship for sure,


I thought that my eyes were deceiving me when I saw Peire Gasly on the Podium instead of Sergio Perez on the Podium, but upon reviewing what has happened and confirming it with your post getting back on the divers It was Sergio Perez  penalty deduction that have cause I'm but for me it was the heated of the matched and I think he still did a great job with his RB,

Truth be told he will surpass Vettel having the record with the next race.
This one was a real mess from beginning to end with Leclerc retiring his car from an earlier incident. And Perez getting a penalty from the restart of the remaining 5 laps to conclude the race after the red flag from the collision into the barrier.
Gasly moving into the podium place due to that 5 second penalty to Checo moved him out at the checkered flag of getting a third place finish.

Overall, no one can say it was a boring race. Because if you saw it that way you are certainly not watching the race and just going by the podium and finishing places.

There was no shock at the end result, Max got the win as always, no matter what happened during the race, he kept his lead and just won it as expected. I am guessing that as long as he finishes the races with no crash, he will just keep on winning. This makes it 10 for the season if I am not wrong, and that breaks the record Vettel had, and that's another record Max broken. Unless something major happens, this dude could get to 8 titles as well, he will have just 5 left after this, and 2026 is the season big changes will happen, if Red Bull can stay even just a bit decent during that time, I bet that he will break that 8 title record without a doubt, he is unreal.

I was so busy with other things that I completely forgot about the F1 and yeah because of the Summer break as well I got bored with it but upon returning I was surprised that Daniel Ricciardo got out back because of a hand injury on the Practice, to be replaced by Liam Lawson and looking at the 1st race of Liam Lawson on the 3rd Practice he was on the 18 places, then on the Qualifying  he was drop to the bottom because he got a red flag,

DUTCH GRAND PRIX 2023 - QUALIFYING RESULT

For sure the thing that Carlos Sainz did to Oscar Piastri needs to be investigated when he is going outside the pits and Oscar Piastri is going straight Carlos Sainz just gets into his way, another incident for Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri indeed, for sure there is something that Carlos Sainz doesn't like about Piastri for sure back on their recent clash, Q2 eliminated was Liam Lawson, Valtteri Bottas, Kevin Magnussen, Esteban Ocon, and Zhou Guanyu, then the start of Q3 Logan Sargeant finds the barrier and brought out the red flag, then Charles Leclerc got the Yellow flag all of a sudden, and finishing the Qualifying they though that Lando Norris will be on the 1st position and because both the McLaren 1 and 2 are in the 1st and 2nd position until Max Verstappen got his time, then the last result on the qualifying was

1st) Max Verstappen
2nd) Lando Norris
3rd) George Russell
4th) Alexander Albon
5th) Fernando Alonso

It was really unfortunate that Daniel Ricciardo got his Hand injury Well it is a coincidence and a debut for Liam Lawson to be driving in the Alpha Tauri this is his chance to prove himself but surely he doesn't have any training or preparation for this, for sure this could be a good thing for him if he does well


It was really a sad thing for Daniel Ricciardo to be injured in the 2nd Practice it was a sad thing for sure Liam Lawson is ready to replace anyone who is injured in the RedBull or Alpha Tauri, and for sure the 3rd driver or the replacement driver is ready for this but I sure wish he got training for this because it is a coincidence that Ricciardo got injured,

but in the following qualifier Lando Norris is looking great and Max Verstappen is doing his best in getting this win in his home Turf I think he will not let this opportunity slide for sure and get this win in a dominant fashion,

Correct @YuginKadoya
There was some weird circumstances which happened in practice 2 where both Ricciardo and Piastri were parked parallel from each other on the track. When I tuned in they were already this way and a red flag had just been put on the P2 session. Didn't know what had happened until they mentioned about his hand being broken.

"Daniel Ricciardo has been ruled out of the Dutch Grand Prix due to a broken hand sustained in a crash during Friday practice, handing Liam Lawson his F1 debut with AlphaTauri in the process."

Practice 3 is about to beginning in about 10 minutes. The future markets for the Dutch Grand Prix are below -

The Mentality of doing it and loving while doing it surely has a big impact on someone's performance so maybe you are correct I tried to think of how Verstappen was doing all this well it is because he truly loved the sports, from childhood, you can really see his interest in driving a car and additional to this his loving parent supported him to this is 100% you can surely see that at a young age his interest with racing just grew, and not only him Lando Norris also is getting there with a good setting on his Car,




For sure they are thinking about this, if they just let Carlos Sainz lose and just put a random driver in there is no difference in getting Sainz out, Maybe they are briefing about this on who will be the next to drive for Ferrari, Now that Charles Leclerc has his big deal of a contract for Ferrari Carlos Sainz is real pressure to perform until the 2023 ends, there is IndyCar frontrunner Alex Palou, Felipe Drugovich the F2 championship winner last year, or RedBull Junior Liam Lawson, if Ferrari could snatch him on RedBull,

A Crash that injured Daniel Ricciardo's hand and right now he will be change with Liam Lawson for the remainder of the Grand Prix,

https://youtube.com/shorts/nTpjlcX6ezg?si=i4NOC2TEqfsovv-n

Because Ferrari is not having a good season, Sainz should not be held accountable for it. Not like they gave him a great car and he started to suddenly lose races, they have a terrible car and that is why Sainz is not getting any good results. They had nearly no points for like first 3-4 races if I am not wrong and after all that was done they still didn't had a top three car, red bull, Aston martin and Mercedes had better cars, now McLaren has a better one too.

So, if they are thinking about not extending Sainz's contract because of the results, they should do that to the engineers as well, they have terrible engineers that make the worst cars every year and no driver will get good results with cars those engineers make.

Who can replace Sainz right now ? I mean , sure , Ferrari will leave Sainz from next year , but who could join ? I don't see Ferrari taking another young driver just to let him go after 2 years again. In my opinion , they should let Sainz to finish his contract but on the same time Ferrari should be able to provide a decent car for both of their drivers because no matter what driver you put in that Ferrari right now , none of them will do great . The more we look at Ferrari the more we can see that they have real internal problems that fans and media don't know about them. 

At the moment I don't see many reasons why Ferrari should extend with Sainz, not only the performance of Ferrari itself leaves a lot to be desired, but also Sainz is not in form and gives top performances, but that seems to be a problem with the whole Ferrari team.

I won't make my prediction for this weekend until tomorrow morning, let's see how the teams have worked over the break in practice.

Netherlands will definitely be the perfect chance, I do not know where he lives, but if he lives anywhere near, I bet that he will just race, win, and go home and start racing at computer lol. He is that type of person, he never stops and I think it's quite important to his success as well, dude does this for hobby.

How many people go to work because that is all they love to do, not because they are good at it or they are paid, but because they love doing it. This dude all he knew while growing up was racing, so he doesn't do anything else, even his "fun time" is racing on PC, so he is definitely great because of it. He will get this win unless some miracle happens and he will be regarded as one of the best to ever drive when he retires.
