It is a good thing I got Netflix at home I got to see Season 1 of the series, for me which is just new to the F1 I got to learn many things with this series which is why I am thankful that I have seen it, I think the Youtube Algorithm have known that I am searching the F1 in google while posting here in the forum so Youtube just happen to pop up that interesting episode of Romain Grosjean's Accident but miraculously step up from that burning wall like it was nothing, it was really a scary and relieving moment but it  should not happen again, well when I have watched it I was really interested about it that is why I decided to watch the whole season from the start, and I want to share it here in the forum and for the new people in the Community,


It was really a well-documented series about the F1 Race, mostly the drama, and right now I have seen a glimpse of the 2021 Abu Dhabi drama about the Verstappen VS Haliburton episode, I didn't know there are something like that happened but it was not really new because the recent incident with Max Verstappen was with George Russell incident, surely I will update you guys about the Formula 1: Drive to Survive series,

Yes it is a very well documented series for the F1 and they are on their fifth season as mentioned in this post back on the first day of the year!


It is still one of the reasons why so many people haven't cancelled their subscriptions to it yet waiting for their more well known series to start up again.
If you go back from the start of the first season you will see the more famous character of the show is Guenther Steiner the team principal from Team Haas.
You know the chap that is in the picture with Sportsbet.io's representative Steve, our very own from the forum a few pages back on this thread.

Oh! That was a great series on Netflix and I think this is to promote the F1 industry to the viewers of Netflix and have many audiences interested in the sports, I think I will watch it now, and looking at Youtube there are tons of great episodes story about the risk drivers involve and in an instant can be their last, and Romain Grosjean is one lucky guy surviving that crash because many have doubted that he will not get out from the car alive, and it was really a terrible accident, and I have watched an Episodes on the Drama's inside the F1 Grand Prix and I manage to get this on youtube and it was on Season 4, this surely is great to gain more fans in the F1 community,

It is good that you are back on track again, there are so many things that happen from Fernando Alonso in the year 2006, that you leave there are new faces and new machines, but still a great race to witness, and there are some rumors that Sebastian Vettel will be back for the F1 race again but will surely find some article about it, but right now look for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez because they are the F1 race leader for this season, and I think you should start on that,


If the Ferrari machines would be upgraded to a more aerodynamic base material just like the RB machines, then maybe Charles Leclerc will have a chance at getting that 1st place for sure because Charles Leclerc has shown tremendous skill In cutting corners and has managed to do that with those following corners of the Circuit, that is tremendous skills and technique for sure,

I was searching Netflix to watch something and I stumble seeing a title and it kind of reminded me of this forum, it was titled Formula 1: Drive to Survive it was by seasons and episodes and what I notice was an episode about Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash that was on Season 3 it was a horrific accident in the history of F1 Racing and there is a miracle that happens with that Accident and Romain Grosjean, here is the Episodes summary on Youtube,

I have seen the news about Esteban Ocon, and probably the management will need to fix their protocol to provide extra safety for this kind of incident will not happen again, for sure it could get dicey for the F1 community when Esteban Ocon just hits 1 personnel in the pitstop the F1 will surely dub this as the disaster in the pitstop, that this should not happen again,

Just like what I said in my previous post we should focus on seeing the next Circuit or track for the Miami GP, and that is the Miami International Autodrome Circuit length will be 5.412km, and there are 57 laps for this Circuit, and the 1st Grand Prix is on 2022 just last year and known fastest lap record was 1:31.361 and that is non-other than Max Verstappen last year, 2022 full schedule for the next GP is the same as the other GP's May 06 Practice 1 and 2, May 07 Practice 3 and Qualifiers and May 08 will be the Race,

Red bull has been dominating so far but Ferrari looked good this weekend and they are bringing more updates for upcoming races so we can maybe see a fight in future races. RedBull has smaller time in wind tunnel so that will affect them in later stages of the season, I just hope they won''t be to far ahead by that time.

Actually, 1st time to watch the F1 race again, after so many years of not watching a race, I manage to watch the latest Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and it was great looking at your favorite racers getting into it back then I like Fernando Alonso back on 2005 up to 2006, but seeing the new technology we are in right now and the new machines of the Red Bull I was amazed on the progress for many teams, and in 2010 Sebastian Vettel put Red Bull in the top and become champion up to 2013 then Lewis Hamilton has gotten Mercedes to the top for the Champion and right now Red Bull is on the top with Max Verstappen is now the champion, and pretty much this 2023 the champion for this season for the corresponding Grand Prix are

BAHRAIN GP
Max Verstappen

SAUDI ARABIAN GP
Sergio Perez

AUSTRALIAN GP
Max Verstappen

AZERBAIJAN GP
Sergio Perez

Now looking forward for the next week Grand Prix,

It was full of surprises actually there are many that happen in the Azerbaijan GP now Ferrari might have a chance in the future because of Charles Leclerc and now the incident on Esteban Ocon was really not his fault many are aware that there should be a last pit stop with Esteban Ocon going in, so it was the FI officials that made a mistake and let the people inside where Esteban Ocon should enter, actually Esteban Ocon was pretty much surprise by it aswell, so for supreme safety, there should be a personnel that need to say if it is OK to enter the tracks, well Esteban Ocon Expresses his concern about the incident and protocol should be made for the satefy of F1 personnel entering the pitstop,

Now regarding the next race the Miami Grand Prix, it said that many don't like its Circuit the Miami International Autodrome I just heard it but I will be investigating it further so I would know for sure,

Who said this Abzerbaijan main race was kind of static and nothing really different happened during the race.
There was an absolute mishap that occurred on the last lap of the race which could of ended horribly wrong.
Here is what happened to Esteban Ocon when his team told him he was the only car that had not gone to pit.
The incar camera footage shows you what it looked like from the driver's point of view.

FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX

It is already been settled The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix with Sergio Perez taking the 1st place, Max Verstappen in the 2nd place, and Charles Leclerc in the 3rd place, there was a lot that happen and Max Verstappen has gotten some issues aswell, and for this Azerbaijan GP surely there is a lot to remember from the Sprint format many are surely had a hard time with it for sure it will be a thing to remember, here are the Race Highlights | 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix if you haven't take a glimpse and want to see the summary of the race but here are the Race result,





Congratulations to Sergio Perez on making great success, and both Red Bull Racers on taking the W right now Max Verstappen got the Bahrain GP, and Australia GP while Sergio Perez got the Saudi Arabia GP and now the Azerbaijan GP, now moving on to the Miami GP that is next week May 7,

At this point I don't even know if it is possible to do a safe bet betting in both

Max Verstappen and
Perez

to end in positive money at the end of the season for the f1 World Champions title...

They should be both under 1:1.5

While posting this they are now on Lap 27 of the race and Sergio Perez is now in the lead while Charles Leclerc surely will be well known if he can pass the leaders but the two Red Bull is just tight with the lead and they surely don't want any racers to pass them, but for sure the race will finish with a Red Bull Racer winning in my opinion but how I love the idea for Charles Leclerc to win just this once,


I will surely go with your bet I will put Charles Leclerc in the Top 3 aswell, for me even if he doesn't get the Championship this time he can surely steal the 3rd place for this Circuit, and because he has upset the two leaders in the Qualifiers, Sprint Shootout, and Sprint racers, surely I want to put Charles Leclerc as the fastest lap just like he did in the Sprints format race, but it is really risky right now,

I have a pre live bet since this week with Leclerc to finish top 3 and so far so good. This early Safety car might change the outcome of the winner because I don't see Perez giving up his position anymore and most likely he will defend it until the end of the race.  

Insane restart after safety car ended. Max and Alonso are masters on the wheel!

So the teams and the drivers efforts all come down to this moment in the Grand Prix city circuit for their race to the season championship.

The odds for each driver hasn't changed by much when I viewed them last night but now it is about 40 minutes until the start of the race happens.

You can view those revised odds here:

Mclaren surely improved the performance of their machines but the drivers are not used to their new machines yet, but when the drivers do maybe they will have a sure boost in the following race to come, but right now Ferrari doesn't have any improvement at all but Charles Leclerc sure has a great performance in the Baku City Circuit's corners but Ferrari machine is still the same so if Sergio Perez or Max Verstappen likely seen an opportunity they can take it and pass Charles Leclerc eventually,


It was against George Russell that Max Verstappen had an intense battle, George Russell nearly got Verstappen into the barricade, because that incident made a huge hole in the side of Verstappen's machine, and he came towards George Russell getting for an explanation of what have happen, and Russell just replied that he has no grip at all and Verstappen said that they all don't have any grip, he could just give a huge space for me Max Verstappen is such a cry baby but on the heat of the race everyone is really not thinking straight and just aim for victory, that is why I should say Max Verstappen should be considerate about the situation even though that was intentional George Russell is not going to say something about it, here is the video,
https://youtube.com/shorts/ABE8R8qLQjQ?feature=share

Based on both Sprint Shootout and Sprint Starting grid results and watching the highlights of both Sprints qualifiers it was really a hard Circuit on the Azerbaijan Gran Prix, pretty much both Red Bull Racers Sergio Perez and mostly Max Verstappen that been caught in almost colliding in the barrier with George Russell is having a hardtime with the Baku Circuit I was really shocked seeing that right now Charles Leclerc is in the position where mostly we see Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez would be, and Charles Leclerc is really good at cutting corners, he surely some advantage when it comes to corners like these, even though he was caught by the Barrier at some point he still manages to get the starting grid because of his points advantage, this is pretty much crucial because that starting grid lead is really a racer's ticket sometimes in winning the race,

And because Charles Leclerc is pretty much skillful at something he has used that to his advantage in getting ahead of both Red Bull guys, but sure enough the Red Bull team had countermeasures about this, when Sergio Perez passes Charles Leclerc I think the Red Bull Machine is still kicking power than with the Ferrari ones,

I think it is obvious that Mclaren improved, but ferrari didn't had improvement as much as they claimed. I mean not the chasis at least, they said they thought about changing that but didn't really happen if you ask me and that is why we won't see them win the race. Pole position is great of course, but I think it is not that important to get the pole position because it would not be a big deal, I think it is important to realize that Charles got the pole before as well, and that means that he gets pole position but loses the race.

Red Bull doesn't have a single lap pace, they have a long term race deal, while other teams end up getting slower and slower, Red bull keeps the pace up for a very long time and manage to lap similar lap times for a longer period of time. All in all, I think unless there is a crash or a problem, Max may end up winning this one again.

Charles Leclerc is pretty much good at corners and pretty much great at this circuit, for him to stay in the 2nd position but Sergio Perez is the hero in this Sprint day and poor Yuki Tsunoda bumping his tires on the wall led to his tires sprung out that made him a red flag and not finishing the race, and somehow Max Verstappen had a one on one with George Russell slamming him in the wall on the start of the race,


Charles Leclerc is just so good at taking Corners but you are right this Baku City Circuit needs total concentration and the Red Bull team is having a difficult time but with the latest sprint Sergio Perez is showing determination and giving Charles Leclerc a total beating when he passes him, and for Max Verstappen passing away through George Russell for that wall collision he causes on him, but Sergio Perez is proven that Red Bull is still on the lead, but for getting so many points Charles Leclerc had taken the Starting Grid for the race,

I have a feeling the sprint qualifying is a bit too tight. And having scarce time for practicing I would expect red flags in pretty much all sprint week-ends.
And since Baku is quite narrow I expect red flag in the race too.

I was a bit disappointed by the sprint race. It was not bad, Russell added some drama, Leclerc started very good, Verstappen didn't manage to overtake him, Checo made a great (sprint) race... but the second half of it was rather boring. Or maybe it was just me, I don't know. Maybe I had too big expectations from it, it was quite a long time without sprint races...
