We are now in the midst of the next event for the F1 race and it is the Qatar Grand Prix this week actually I am very excited after seeing a video for the F1 Academy for sure I want to see some race, and for this upcoming F1 Race let's look at and dive into the upcoming Circuit that we will be having and it was called

Lusail International Circuit



Number of Laps
57

Circuit Length
5.419km

Race Distance
308.611 km

Now these are the highlights of the Qatar race Lewis Hamilton won in this race while Max Verstappen got in the 2nd position and Fernando Alonso in the 3rd as those 3 drivers ended up on the podium, and back then Fernando Alonso was on Alpine instead of Aston Martin, so back then it was really an exciting race for most here in the Forum, as Red Bull is not that Dominant back then,

RACE HIGHLIGHTS

For sure the position of Sergio Perez was both great and miserable, great because he landed a position in the Red Bull team as 1 of its drivers for many drivers it is a privilege driving a fine machine like the RB19, and because Max Verstappen is doing such things Sergio Perez can surely do it aswell, and lastly Miserable because many is surely expected to you and Perez will surely be compared to Max Verstappen for sure that will land the pressure in Perez case and surely Sergio Perez in the recent race can feel it because it was showing with his performance,


It was coincidental for Liam Lawson to become a Driver that fast and that is by showing off with the race, and there are likely rumors that Daniel Ricciardo  is collaborating with an injury stint for Lawson to showcase his driving talent but this is just rumors as accident like that can happen, while landing head 1st on the barrier,


Actually, I like Yuki Tsunoda but if Liam Lawson is skillful than him then I is good bye for Tsunoda for sure, while Daniel Ricciardo will be a replacement for Sergio Perez, or maybe Tsunoda will stay along with Lawson next year, let's just wait for further announcements,

Yeah.
I think he can take the spot of Tsunoda or Riccardo, with Riccardo going to RBR over Perez.

I don't think Perez will stay in RBR more to be honest.

I admit I was wrong here. I thought Lawson would actuallyl just prove to everyone they were overestimating current Alpha drivers but he has exceeded expectations to the point even I want to see him drive properly next season


We need more new people in it for sure, and even though I was not a believer in this guy even after so few races I agree, he must be a fixed driver next year. Better for us.

He will probably be an F1 driver soon.
Horner has already spoken about it and according to the man, he will be a permanent driver very soon.

I think maybe already next year.

I think Sergio Perez should be the one adjusting to this kind of thing for sure Max Verstappen will be the priority driver because he has proven much in the F1 race they will surely pour in the mechanical specific to him and because he has shown progress with the recent match for sure Red Bull will be more into Max Verstappen than Checo, for me Sergio Perez is kind of OK about it for sure he is aware with his situation and knows that Max Verstappen is the prodigy for the Red Bull team,


Liam Lawson has surely proven that he is the big deal which is why Yuki Tsunoda is kind of in danger of getting his seat next season, as Daniel Ricciardo is returning for sure in Alpha Tauri and surely they have a hard decision towards this, and I Liam Lawson just did what he can in showing his true performance in the race for sure it is their own accord that they will be expecting for sure,


Sergio Perez is clearly under pressure with so much to be expected of him because there are many drivers who are surely jealous of him for having such a fine machine but he is underperforming on it, for sure it will put a kind of pressure on him to give it all what he got and for sure this can produce a lot of mistake towards the race, and so the budget for Redbull for those parts change will surely add up to his thinking as well,

Nice explanation on what is happening with Sergio Perez for sure in a different set-up for the car for each driver for sure and pretty much Sergio Perez is not accustomed to the way Max Verstappen handles the Strong front end car while Perez is having a difficult time towards it and is the race in Shizuka Perez was caught up with the first-lap incident resulting in a damage with his car and it was a wing damage and so a wing replacement is needed so going into the pit stop while the safety car was out He picked up a time penalty for a Safety Car infringement during this phase, having overtaken cars both coming into the pits and exiting, in it

Another one was with the Haas Kevin Magnussen Sergio Perez made an illegal overtaking attempt so he got a five-second time penalty for the incident, and because of that another collision he needed another front wing to change but because he had not served his second penalty by the time Red Bull opted to bring in his car and retire him from the race on Lap 15,

I have to say after one not so good first race, im really impressed by the performance of Lawson, he beats his teammate in his home race, i think he is doing a good job and he maybe can deserve a seat in the next year.
What do you think?

I think the data and performance at the beginning of the year gives a more realistic picture, of course it's not at the level of max but the development in the car is usually done according to the champion driver. This is a very important detail and you have to do this if the champion pilot wins you every race. As the car improves, max's performance improves and for Perez there are question marks, which probably creates more question marks in himself. Max prefers cars with a strong front end, while checo feels comfortable driving cars with a strong rear end, as many drivers do. At the end of the day, the driver's self-doubts also increase and the result is obvious. Perez is a driver who gets demoralized quickly and loses his in-season stability, but if we saw him at Aston martin for example, I think he would have scored as many points as Alonso.

Japan Grand Prix for Red Bull is pretty much amazing for them they surely got an effective win over this Japan GP, and from the P1 to the Qualifying Max Verstappen is dominating currently because of the down point they got from the Singapore Grand Prix he is giving his all and showing the other teams that Red Bull and Max Verstappen is still number 1 for sure after what he showcases in the Japan Grand Prix for sure all debate on the number 1 Driver and team for sure is still Red Bull,


For sure the 2 McLaren won the podium and for sure Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri with the best machine upgrade can surely get into the level of Max Verstappen now, well for sure on Carlo Sainz winning in the last Sigraporean Grand Prix for sure Carlos Sainz have gotten the upgrade he wants but right  now for sure after the return of Red Bull Max Verstappen McLaren for sure also have an upgrade,


Sure this is another addition for Red Bull to go and celebrate for sure but the losses they got from that Singapore Grand Prix were because of the Mechanics' less time on preparation in getting those changes for the machine of Red Bull for sure but I think they all move-on and just accepts that lost and surely in this Japan Grand Prix they have shown that with longtime given on them in getting this wins, they are a number 1 for sure

Sergio Perez made another mistake and this time it was clear that he didn't want Kevin Magnussen to get by so he bumped his tire into Magnussen for sure even if he said it was not on Purpose that move is still a bummer for sure,

With a first place finish for the race at the Suzuka track Verstappen wins the Constructors championship for the Red Bull team.

Sergio Perez had to retire after trying to continue the race even being out for 6 laps. He was not on the podium to celebrate with Max and Christian with their Constructors trophy.

From Practice 1 up to the Main Race Red Bull's Max Verstappen is truly dominant in his pursuit of the number 1 position for the Japan Grand Prix for sure and Max Verstappen has shown that the Singapore Grand Prix was just a fluke, just as I thought if there is a problem with the Red Bull that the Singapore Grand Prix is not really the same, we all know that the indicator for F1 is the Red Bulls they might be dominant in the F1 Race but they are likely the indicator for the strength of the machines in the F1 for me I would likely want to see Ferrari or the other teams to defeat Red Bull in their most powerful state and not in their miserable pace,


If there could be a rule that would not allow an upgrade for the machines and the F1 would provide a 1 set-up for all then we would likely know who is the really fast and genius driver in the F1 for me I am OK with this kind of Scenario but for sure there is something about it that the Mechanic was included in the given race for sure,


It is surprising that the 2 McLarens both got into the podium for sure and right now their upgrades have proven good in the Japanese Grand Prix, while Sergio Perez has gotten a red flag because of the collision on the tire with HAAS Kevin Magnussen, it was a great performance for both McLaren for sure

Im not 100% sure about that, but not because you are wrong, because in the F1 sadly you relly on some other things that are not in your hands, like having a good car, a good team, and also how much contenders you have that year.
But yes i agree with you , he is showing real skills and surely he is a diamond.

Massive qualifying session for Piastri and a well deserved P2 for him. At this point , I'm sure it's just a matter of time until Piastri will be a world F1 champion.

Max and his RedBull are back to life and honestly, if nothing happens after start of race , Max will have clear way to win it.

Here are the final results for the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying which just wrapped about an hour ago:

Logan Sargeant ran himself into the wall as the video above shows right from the very start.
From the looks of it Verstappen and the Red Bull are running very well on this track. The weather conditions stayed nice & dry and doesn't have any rain in the forecast for tomorrow's season championship race.

I am not entirely sure if Ferrari would have lost "easily" if overtaking was simpler, I am not saying they wouldn't neither, I just think that they raced very well, Sainz did I mean. When you are that good , when you literally calculate Norris DRS to make sure Russell can't catch you and all that, I feel like that is something you should be considered good even in the wildest overtaking possibility tracks.

Plus, it is not like Monaco where race ends nearly identical to pole positions, even that changed in the recent years but I am guessing that this was a bit easier than that, we have seen some overtaking here side by side, which is hard at Monaco. Ferrari was just simply way too good for that track and Sainz raced perfectly.

Mercedes looked sort of lethargic and you can't blame this slowness on the tires.
Ferrari looked like the second fastest team during these practice sessions.
As you had mentioned in your earlier post, Red Bull had won here last year.
So would a year really make a difference from now since then for Verstappen to have forgotten how to win here?
Very doubtful.

So I have to change my predictions once again and say Red Bull will atleast get a podium for this race.
As I can see qualifications having a similar outcome as the last practice 2 session I had watched goes to show how good they are still on this track at Suzuka.

Atleast Lewis Hamilton mentioned if Max Verstappen didn't perform well in Japan then they all knew there was a problem within the Red Bull camp:

Because with this race Red Bull and Verstappen have already won the F1 season's championship title.

Today in the first practice Verstappen was again outstandingly fastest and also praised the car and the setup, which you don't hear so often from him on Friday. RedBull also said, as you wrote, Singapur is a very special track for RedBull, so it will be very difficult to beat Verstappen again this weekend. Mercedes didn't use soft tyres in the first practice so I wouldn't really judge the times yet and Ferrari still has the problem with the big tyre wear.

Mmmm the main problem with that its in the last race, Ferrari can win because in that track its very dificult to overtake, if was in other track Ferrari can lose easily, Norris and Mercedes was having much more pace than them in the race. But yes we also have the tyre management.

Last year RedBull was superior in Japan, in Singapore RedBull also had some problems in 2022 but not as severe as this year. I think that RedBull will win again in Japan, it will be interesting to see if Ferrari can confirm its performance and finish on the podium or if McLaren and Mercedes are faster than Ferrari, which is difficult.
