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,

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.

The contract with Sainz is not clear yet.

The Ferrari boss spoke and said they will decide before the end of the season if continue with him or not.

What I mean about a special car was a F1 machine that is provided by the Olympics it self and not by the team or country that will have their drivers on buy for sure we likely don't know the rules yet on the upcoming F1 race for the Olympics so I am just speculating things if the car will be provided by the Olympics and not the team it self but because that would be too expensive I really don't know what will they do, but I think the Organizer are already looking at this and will be having a conclusion whether they would put the F1 to the Olympics or not,


This is a great opportunity for Max Verstappen getting this record and in his home soil surely he would be very motivated about this because this is his home turf for sure he will do his best like a Max Verstappen always do, the Flying Dutchman is at it again in another record target for sure,


For sure this will be investigated by the FIA, and the management everyteam have a budget cap available for them so they need to comply, about this but yeah maybe the engine was at fault but let's wait on further investigation,

For me it will be boring if you don't want Max Verstappen to win again, but for sure Max Will be on the top again, but what I interest me is if the other teams will make it on the 2nd place or  who's making it to the podium is it Sergio Perez or McLaren again,

Finally we have a race in looking forward to this weekend making a stop at the F1 constructor leader's home country of the Netherlands for the Dutch Grand Prix.

I am not sure if the teams keep the budget limit correctly, there is money shifted back and forth in the group (no matter if Ferrari, Mercedes or RedBull), so you are under the budget limit but money for marketing has come from another "company". Now that RedBull also wants to build the engines themselves, I can't imagine that the budget limit will be adhered to.

This week is finally a Formula 1 race again, but Max's home race will probably be a rather boring race and Max is a big favourite there again.

You know summer is coming to an end when we have F1 weekend returning so to continue the rest of the season.
F1 official website has been hinting this could a golden win for Max on his home soil with seeking to tie the record of consecutive wins by a driver which is currently still Sebastian Vettel.
F1 NATION - Verstappen goes for gold again on home soil with another F1 record in sight – it's our Dutch GP preview

A special car for the Olympics? Then the teams would have to spend a lot of more money on a development of a new car for the Olympics. I hope that it would be really worth it. Because teams are already spending a great deal of money for a season in Formula 1. In addition spending extra money for a new car would be a bigger load on especially smaller teams.

But even there I wouldn't be surprised if Verstappen continues to dominate.    It is up to Red Bull's preparing a stronger car than their opponents. But I would like to watch some more competition in the Olympics at least.

Red Bull and Red Bull racing are different companies. Which means that red bull can do however marketing they want and spend whatever amount they want and nobody can say anything about it. It's like saying Mercedes can't do marketing, there is no relationship there, mercedes is a car company, mercedes amg is a f1 club and that should be remembered, the difference is there.

This is why Red Bull constantly does marketing, it is not going to cost them a dime since it will be the red bull drinking company that pays for it, not the red bull racing company. They have at least one ad every year related to f1, but usually they may end up using their drivers and Horner on more things as well if they want to during the season.

It was really a long break but for sure every team is aware of the break and all teams needed this break for sure they will have time to upgrade their machines, make preparations, practice the track, and to surely rest so drivers can be at their 100% focus when they make their race, but the long wait is surely over and this week we are going to the Netherlands the Dutch Grand Prix and for sure Max Verstappen will surely perform his all in this race because this is his home turf,


For sure the F1 teams have their own cap on how much they can spend this season and aside from that they can not go further that is why they need to consider saving a lot until they reached the final race for this season, for sure Red Bull have already outsmarted their way in the league and outsmarted the entire F1 Grid, for sure there is a lot that is anticipating the return of the F1 race again,

F1 has a cap on how much they can't spend.
So no I don't think Redbull can do a huge marketing. 

Season of high work for the marketing team of all the teams of F1. But well we already know the most active as always its the RedBull team on all this kind of promotions.

We need the comeback of the races, its so long the break, luckily this its ending soon.

Well, this is just speculation, and they can surely choose whether they will let their best F1 driver go there to race or if a country will get a new driver as a representative maybe an amateur driver that cab race for F1, but they can surely pick if they want to use a professional F1 driver instead, or if an F1 driver can volunteer if he wants to represent the country, they can surely do it,


Actually, it is kind of refreshing the new commercial for Red Bull and kind of light-hearted there is no commotion between Horner and Perez, good for Red Bull in making this kind of commercial looking at it surely all the cast and crew really did have a great time making this video, and even the extras were really something else upon seeing this commercial I have seen a video of Maybe Sergio Perez giving his F1 wheel to the ballet surely giving the key to the ballet his wheel was the key of the car for sure, here is the video and it was hilarious https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aSfk-1mCQpg

Summer Break right now in F1 and the Pit Crew is having some summer activities in Monaco this is really relaxing indeed,

Only a handful of countries can really compete in this sport if it ever makes its way into the Olympics. Lots of countries typically don't have that big of a budget when it comes to their national sports team, let alone some of the teams they focus on. It will be a convention of rich countries able to afford the development and training of F1 racers in fhe Olympics, and there's only a handful of them. Not going to be enjoyable if it's only a few people in the track.
