Hamilton is talking about his new contract and according to the online edition of the Daily Mail, Lewis Hamilton's contract includes a £15 million bonus in case of winning the world title.

Hamilton for signing the new contract wants this bonus to the base contract and not only in case of wins of the world championshiop.

Well, a good option is to get a qualifying  driver already, but for me, I want to still give Sergio Perez a chance in the next round Daniel Ricciardo has also announced his desire to still drive in F1 if he has an option I think this is a likely his option and getting in the Grid in 2024 with Red Bull, but what about Sergio Perez is he gets back on track well this is getting Checo all Frustrated and tense at the same time many really wants his position with the team,


If Daniel Ricciardo would ever think of Sabotaging a driver in Red Bull I think the team would likely see it, he can not do it in the open but I think Daniel Ricciardo will just behave for now and wait for the right time to strike, For me I want Red Bull to get Lando Norris aswell I think just like Max Verstappen he is a Sim Racer too, and he is still young so good choice in my opinion,

Aw! sad but it is likely could happen if this is really the 1st time Bianca Bustamante goes on an actual race, even though she is driving and racing the official race is very different, with training and this is a whole new field for her, so no pressure and because this is just a starting point for every girl in the F1 Academy, at least her teammate Marta Garcia is still in the podium,

As Owengtam09 has said it is unlikely to happen even though there is much speculation that Daniel Ricciardo is a likely candidate Red Bull will surely play this smart instead of going to Daniel Ricciardo they may likely go with Alex Albon or Esteban Ocon, but still as a 3rd Driver for Red Bull, maybe he can be a replacement for Sergio Perez, but I am just saying that Red Bull has a lot of option they can take,


Maybe, we can not say for sure but as a part of team Red Bull all he needs to do right now is to support the team and not sabotage a driver because of his hidden ambition to get back to the F1 Machine and race, but likely Daniel Ricciardo has a huge chance in getting that position, for sure but if Red Bull can get another option this is just for me I want them to get Lando Norris,

F1 Academy RACE Result

My Girl Bianca Bustamante landed in 10th place in the race

Sad to say but Daniel Ricciardo is unlikely not fit to be in F1 as a driver well this is from Tom Coronel's viewpoint and the likely candidate that has tipped on him was Alex Albon to be the one that could be a replacement and if Sergio Perez will not come through this next race and keep it all together the unlikely replacing thing would surely happen, that position of Sergio Perez in the 2nd driver of Red Bull is in danger for sure even though Horner is saying that Sergio Perez should focus and let his thinking straight and not be pressured with things is not working because there is a lot of pressure around the news is spreading like wildfire that Checo will be replaced if it didn't go well for him, and many are speculating that Daniel Ricciardo could be a likely candidate but that position of Sergio Perez is likely many F1 driver would surely want,

But there is 1 F1 Driver that has boldly said that he can see himself fighting with Verstappen for the world championship if they have the same car and that was Esteban Ocon, I don't know if this statement was him saying to give him a chance to likely be at Red Bull,

There might be some reconciliation happening when he is still the current third driver. Maybe there's some behind-the-scenes thing? I remember that they always had beef with each other, especially in the documentary and then it's all downfall for Ricciardo.

Ricciardo's coming back to Red Bull as the second driver would be really interesting. I know that we didn't have the same old competitive Ricciardo in his last times with McLaren. But returning to Red Bull might change something for him. Because he will be in the most powerful team on the grid then. This might start the fire in him to be competitive against Verstappen once again.

I would love to see such thing to happen as well. Because there is no competitor for Verstappen who can drive as good as him now or who has a car like he has. Ricciardo can be more successful about bringing more points to the team compared to Perez thinking of his recent performances. I just hope we don't see personal issues between Verstappen and Ricciardo again in that case.

The F1 Academy Practice Series has already started and because there is no way we can see the race live, and I don't see any bookies available either well I think this is just an Academy for starting racers but hopefully in the future this can be changed, but still I want to see our own girl from the Philippines Bianca Bustamante and what is she doing now,

Right now Practice 2 is on the go and the results posted are provisional and can tend to change, so I will wait for the last result finished and waiting for the replay video so I can watch the action,

Well, Max Verstappen doesn't really want something like this to happen I think he will avoid the bird if he can but this little bird was really close to the front of the F1 Car, that it is really inevitable to avoid it, and it really happens even though Max Verstappen doesn't want it to happen there is nothing he can do,


Well, I really felt sad about it but thinking about it the 2nd time it is better to hit some small creature than hitting larger ones or worst even people, and I remember what @jakelson said about the Azerbaijan Grand Prix incident when Esteban Ocon nearly hit the F1 personnel on the pit stop, it is surely the securities and management fault and not Esteban Ocon but that incident can be avoided the bird incident can not,


Sergio Perez needs to improve if he doesn't want to be dragged to the bottom again if this keeps up then the option for Red Bull is pretty much clear saying goodbye to Checo Perez, but Horner is very patient with him but that patient surely has it's limits so Sergio Perez needs to know his problem or else it is not really looking good for him,



I know the incidents on the Bus but for me, it is really gruesome to tell it here, but it is a true story I heard of it for sure, and for me, the government should investigate this,

That Azerbaijan incident should never happen again and personnel and the Management doesn't want that to happen for sure,

I feel sorry for Sergio Perez for having a hard time catching up to Max Verstappen, surely Christian Horner really is giving him some advice on what to do, to stay calm and not worry about anything, I think Horner surely is giving Sergio Perez sometime before giving the Verdict in evicting him to the team, there are still Red Bull fans that want Sergio Perez to stay as the 2nd driver for Red Bull, but I think even though Horner is giving Checo the advice you can not take out the pressure that Checo Perez is having right now if you are on his position I think you would like to feel the heat because your teammate is doing great with the RB19 while Checo Perez is stuck at not getting some improvement,


I feel likely that you don't really like Max Verstappen that much that you are wishing him to be in the 2nd or 3rd place of the race, well we will see in the next race, but if that Bird did not stop him from being at the 1st position and getting the win for the Canadian GP,


In the Philippines not only have animals been killed by road kills mostly a person was killed, I can say by killer busses because they intentionally will kill the person they would hit by their bus so the bus company will just pay for the funeral service of the victim and not the lifetime support if the victim becomes bedridden for life, sad but it is the truth

So I think it is more OK to hit some animal than to hit some person in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Esteban Ocon take evasive action to avoid hitting F1 personnel in the pit lane, this is a dangerous scenario that could lead to a gruesome incident, so call it harsh but it is always OK to hit animals than people,

Yeah, predictions are always fun, and I win freebets every now and then also from just randomly choosing the right side (I always view right side of UFC as the "least favorite".

Not a good pool strategy however


Definitely going to enjoy the gigachadness for as long as it lasts. I guess there really is such a thing as beginners luck, but lets see if I don't talk too soon and start slipping down. For as long as Verstappen continues to win, and I have faith in him, it'll work out.

Crazy bird stories indeed, you would think it would have slowed him down at least 1 second every lap, weird right?

From some of the past races I have seen some close calls when it comes to birds being on the track.
The most talked about one on this very track was a gopher or it could of been a beaver since the track is so close to the river way being hit on the track.
Now this would cause heavy damage to an F1 vehicle traveling at such high speeds so you would not want to hit an animal at anytime during your career during a race because it can cost you those milliseconds off your lap time plus cause downforce the engineers have tried to minimize during the season.
As for being saddened by these incidents @YuginKadoya . Think about how many animals get killed on normal highways considered as a part of everyday driving as they penned the term road kill.

Nothing a driver can do at such speed to avoid such a bird impact. I think Max didn't even saw the bird , he just felt the impact and it's not the first time this happened in F1 and most likely it will not be the last time. Unfortunately , I remember that only the one who were leading the race were having sad impacts with birds so next time Max , please be 2nd or 3rd

It surely is, Sergio Perez is in serious hot water right now regarding his career at Red Bull and Christian Horner is not happy with what is happening with Checo right now, and many in the community that I have seen are talking about Daniel Ricciardo right now a backup driver for Red Bull saying that he was to go back into the grid and likely drive a car, and it is a fairy tail for him compete for the number 1 team, this will surely give pressure to Sergio Perez, but maybe he also is talking like that as wishful thinking, but surely he can also be a replacement for Alpha Tauri because Nyck De Vries is not doing fine, what do you think Daniel Ricciardo will replace Checo, or Sergio Perez will finish his contract until 2024,


I have heard the news about the bird it was poping on my youtube news feed but I surely ignore it for some reason, but after seeing this photo, I feel saddened about it was really tragic for Max Verstappen to suddenly have something stuck in his car, and it is really unfortunate for it to happen I think this is the 1st time that a bird got stuck in an F1 machine, and I think it was the speed for the F1 car that the bird didn't notice the F1 car approaching, because of its speed,

I think it's a lot more about predictions being right compared to other people that must be making it even more fun. I mean we are talking about so many people predicting and you are being right more than all the other people, which makes it so much more fun.

I had the same thing with my NBA fantasy league last season, I was right and I knew that my draft looked weird because everyone assumed that I would not be able to get as much wins as the other people, and picked the wrong guys. I knew that my guys were wildcards but because I was lower on the ranks I had to pick those guys and I was right in the end. So being right is good, but if there is no context then it's not that fun, but if you are right when others are not, that's actually quite fun.

Yes @slaman29 is top on the leaderboard of the F1 pool for the forums so it would be very strange if he wasn't happy and enjoying himself in the slightest.
So the rest should let him talk smack if he wants too now since he has earned it.
Like a gigachad until the next race starts that is.

Hadn't heard about that bird until @owengtam09 mentioned it actually on here a day later. But apparently he was driving around with stuck inside the car since lap 11!

They even posted a picture of it after it was removed from the brake duct with the captions:
"Red Bull it gives you... eww"

This is another very important topic, yeah. For a couple of races we have all seen how bad Perez has been against the other drivers from their rival teams. Red Bull looked confident about saying that Verstappen and Perez had the exact same car. Maybe they aren't interested in Perez's wishes as much as Verstappen's but this can still be true I think. In this situation we actually see that Red Bull can be defeated by Mercedes on paper. But it is still quite difficult while Verstappen is this great.

I think Verstappen is the most skilled driver on the grid as well. I believe he has even a serious potential to break the championship record decently no matter how many times he says that he doesn't have such goals now. 

They still need time to make preparation in beating Red Bull, but for me, it is not with the Car performance or speed it was on the pure talent of Max Verstappen right now they need to beat Max Verstappen I really think they have beaten that RB19 right now but they can not beat the true Genius in Driving and that is the Driver for me he is the one releasing the 100% performance of the RB19 if Mercedes and the other teams wants to secure the lead and win in a race they need to know Verstappen even more, this is what I am seeing how the other teams can secure their win, they surely defeated Sergio Perez but I think Max Verstappen is the real deal,


That is good to hear, the F1 Academy doesn't have enough engagement and the only global partner of the sports was Tatuus - an Italian Chassis manufacturer, Pirelli - a long-time partner of Formula 1 an Italian tire manufacturer, and Autotecnica Motori Italian manufacturer of engines for motorsport, for now, the purpose of F1 Academy is an all-female driver series to ready upcoming young drivers for the next level of sports, I really want them to engage with some betting option just like the WNBA but surely I really don't see any kind of Betting option for the F1 Academy, unlike the WNBA that has, because it is a good really a good alternative just like the NBA to the WNBA, so this is going to be an alternative to the Formula 1, but I really wish we could somehow engage with betting aswell,


That is good to hear, I think that is enough if you are truly enjoying what you are doing, and for me, we are just here if you need some advice and I am surely a great listener you can surely say to me if you are having trouble with something

Well, I haven't seen the bird in the news aswell, but I have seen it on youtube being the topic of a certain video, but I guess it is also applied in meme I have watched the video and the bird was really down low, actually down the track then when the bird spotted the RB19 it was too late it flew in the direction of the car that is why the RB19 struck into it, it was really too late for it to evade Max Verstappen

Yeah of course I'm enjoying it. Anyone who can't be enjoying things while on top must be some kind of weird inhuman thing.

Then again, one should also be able to enjoy being bottom, as I did in BSFL lol.

Anyway, rdbase wth haha strange that I read the news and none of them mentioned about the bird. I know they get caught in airplane engines all the time but this is first I heard it getting inside a car. They must have been flying really really low!

Seen this mentioned during a breakdown of the race from one of those funny moments videos.
That does seem to be a Max thing to do:
Run into a bird having it stuck in your brake/tire wheel and end up winning the race.

Didn't know the F1 Academy were on this track before the F1 lads come to lay down asphalt the first of July.
Interesting and they probably scheduled it this way so to bring more attention to the ladies and to have the F1 fans know that this academy racing actually do exist.
As for the markets availability for women F1 driving, I did a search on the bookmakers that I am on and didn't see it available on any of them.
Maybe they should consider it since the WNBA is a good alternative when the NBA is on the offseason so to watch and place bets on for those who need their sportsbetting fix during the dog days of summer!

Mercedes just need to be patient until getting closer to Red Bull's level in time. It won't be easy to close that big gap in a short time even as of now. They have got faster recently but it is still not enough to keep a good distance with Verstappen. After Hamilton overtook Alonso at the start already we all saw how Verstappen was comfortable with opening the gap with Hamilton. But this is indeed progress. Currently Mercedes' direct opponent is Aston Martin and Ferrari comes right after it.

As for Ferrari it was nice to see there was an improvement in strategy. This helped the drivers gain so many places. But the key is consistency. We have 4 races in July so let's see how consistent they can be in this time period.
