I can't wait to see what happens in the Sunday race because seeing the practice sessions they have really improved their car. Mercedes being P2 and P3, Russel leading, they have definitely done improvements to the car. I hope that they are able to somehow compete this season and have a podium, especially Hamilton. It has been a while.

Additionally, I'm excited to see what Perez could do starting at the last position with the RB Car. Are they really overpowered and it is their season or do some teams have a chance? 

I like that quote as it is like a limerick.. but just a bad one for Nyck.
Alot of drivers found their way off the track and this was in sunny conditions so maybe they are just not use to this track is all.
But Perez did end up in the gravel and said he had technical issues(had something like an engine lock up during a turn) which took him out of qualifying.
Checo is in the back row at the start of the race on Sunday.

Max did have some harsh words for the governing body who decides how the races should be organized when it comes to starting positions.
He mentioned after qualifying if they keep making these sprint races mandatory inorder to qualify who starts at pole for the final race, then he will probably quit the sport. They want to institute this as soon as the race in Baku this season.
Here is what he had said to the independent linked site:

Well well well , it seems Mercedes really improved the car over a weekend! Not only this , but it seems the entire team is focus and determined to improve this car as fast as they can. Sure , they won't fight for titles but overall , after what I saw in qualifiers today , I can say for sure that Mercedes are not tight or even slight better than Aston Martin.

Tomorrow , it should be a race where everyone from top4 might have a chance for victory.

An impressive run from Esteban Ocon who took 3rd place in FP3. Perez was frustrated because of some problems with his RB19 and ended in 6th place. Max Verstappen taking the top rank.
The drizzle seems to really give them a horrible run, especially in the turns where drivers are finding themselves in grass or gravel after turns.

The debris pun was hilarious. "Debris came from de Vries." 
Red flag. When a part of the body was found loitering on the track at Turn 9. It was dangerous though and later it was found out that something was loose and not from a hit.

They really had a hard time with Turn 11 and also the traffic jam that could cause disaster. There are just a lot of happenings in the Australian GP and I can't wait to watch the race and what would happen with them.

I was completely busy for the past couple of days and I certainly lost track of what is happening now, I am certainly not aware that the Practice was already starting, so what did I miss, but certainly after a quick review of the current practice here are the results for the FP1 and FP2 for the Australian Grand Prix and Albert Park Circuit,

FP1 Results and what did happen

Max Verstappen took a spin complaining about his tires, it was because of the gravels in the turn 11, but again he still finish with the fastest record of 1:18.790, well at 1st thing that I have seen this racer I thought that Keith Thurman was switching career from boxing to F1 do I am the one who's seeing a resemblance? but again Lewis Hamilton landed in 2nd place for the F1 Practice 1 while Sergio Perez landed in 3rd place,

FP2 Results and what did happen

The Red Bull Team was shocked to see an Aston Martin vehicle in front of pretty much Max Verstappen complaining about traffic, while Charles Leclerc on the Ferrari cut Max Verstappen and gained the upper hand and got the 2nd place for this practice run, while Fernando Alonzo was really happy in getting the 1st place but I think because of the rain many surely have struggled a lot, and rain could be a real bummer sometimes, while Logan Sargeant was on the last place because of an electrical problem that got him stuck and could continue,

Those were one of the first posts on the thread so was surprised to see an Aston Martin on there instead of the Red Bull or a Mercedes.
So it goes to show you Aston were destined to make waves the way are now 2 years later.
Thanks for showing that post but now we have a much more experienced driver behind the wheel so you know he will make the team proud of his performance as he has for the first two races in the season.

As for the Australian track, it looked as if there was going to be a wet track for the weekend but it has cleared up enough to have the qualifying in about 7 hours from now being dry enough for Max to do his magic.
Have flipped between him and Sainz on who will take pole position for this GP Sunday but stuck with Verstappen since I have him for all my first picks.

Hi maxre, if you really like F1 you can come and play with us the next season in the prediction pool sponsored by Sportsbet, we have really good prize this year, and we are a lot, nearby 30 people.

The winner takes like 50 mbtc and we have prizes until 10 position plus every round have freebets and in this particular one the winner of the round its gonna win some merchandising from SB.

McLaren had a problem with the front wing and were the first cars to pit in the last race. So there is definitely an issue with the front end of the McLaren cars. Hard to say whether it is the drivers or the engineers when you have such serious problems right at the beginning of the race.
But yeah, they need to get their stuff together if they don't want to fall even further behind the other teams so early into the season.

I wonder if McLaren will have a good round here because they really need it! There are also rumors that a lot of their sponsors are not happy with how this team is currently evolving in F1 as last year was a light of hope for them after a decade of not fighting for podiums and then this year started and they are almost the slowest car on the grid. Like , how can that happen with them ? I would say bad engineers and not having a STEADY constructor engine as they shifted from Renault to Mercedes for so many times in last years...

Anyway , Albert Park circuit always delivered high entertaining races and I hope this one will deliver as well! I'm also waiting for more news from paddock to see who changed what on their car.

Next on the F1 circuit we are going to the land down under for this end of March spring into April race weekend!

**stretches to go back to Superbru and see what picks they're suggesting (assuming that the chronology in the drop down is ranked by probability?).

Australia, if I remember, made some changes to their track last year, but I can't remember if it was to make it harder or easier haha. Headlines are calling fastest race in Melbourne ever, so I suppose that means wider tracks, maybe straighter?

AT dead bottom after 2 races, if they get nothing from here, I'm really going to have to rethink my support...

I think Max Verstappen just recently became champion in the 2021 season and the last year 2022 season and if he's going to be in 2023, champion it will be the 3rd time Max Verstappen champion, right now he won the Bahrain GP, then landed 2nd place with the Saudi Arabian GP, the next GP will be the Australian GP that may start on April 2nd, right now Red Bull machine are dominating the scene because of its unique design aerodynamic body and lightweight composition that keeps it on top, while Max Verstappen is only delivering with his great driving experience, so pretty much if not Max Verstappen it could be Sergio Pérez of the Red Bull team would be triumphant with the victory,


Well, both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are teammates in the Red Bull Team and because they both got an F1 Machine that is aerodynamic and got lightweight bodies these two drivers can surely be equal in terms of, but surely it will be shown in their driving skills if what may happen I think the Aston Martin machine is 2nd to the Red Bull machine that has great features, as back in 2020 when Lewis Hamilton won the championship with their Mercedes machines,

Here is a prediction contest for Sportsbet.io about the upcoming Australian GP

I also agree with your expectation of a fierce battle between Max and Perez, similar to the Hamilton vs Rosberg rivalry in the past. It's always exciting to see two talented drivers pushing each other to the limit and fighting for every inch of track space.
and yes you are right, a documentary or movie about such a season would definitely be a treat for F1 fans. But for now, we can look forward to an exciting season ahead and hope for some unforgettable moments on the track.

I have a feeling that Max will dominate from FP1 until Race ending because frankly I don't see Ferrari or Aston produce any type of surprise yet and be competitive but I do see Ferrari improving a bit and hope for more updates on Barcelona track.

Yep , agree with Max vs Perez and I do hope we will get a fight like we had with Hamilton vs Rosberg which was quite the battle until the last corner of Abu Dhabi.

Ohh yes! That would deserve a documentary itself and maybe a movie in the coming decade but a season from Netlix will do for now <3.

Adrian Newey's design and ingenuity have proven that his aerodynamic design and lightweight body machine surely if there are some blueprints for the other teams think this is a great machine to copy, well if other teams would surely know the Aerodynamic design to it, but let's not takeout the credit for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez's performance if not for them for taming the Red Bull machines and their talent in great driving this is not possible as well, because we all know the driver is more important and without them that car ingenuity will not surely be shown,


Aston Martin is no joke if they could get the blueprint for RB18 Machine then Fernando Alonso will have a better chance of getting a win as well, but for sure Aston Martin machine are not really behind the great RB18 machine and I never know that the machine has have gone to evolution to make it, even more, better, because it looks just the same as the other vehicles I never imagine that it has a major change at all,

Fernando Alonzo is an honorary RedBull driver back then, whom Aston Martin has acquired I think Fernando Alonzo surely has some common knowledge just like the two RedBull drivers in all getting the win, and pretty much I was really surprise about it,

The next track on the F1 tour is the Australian Grand Prix, so this is a totally different beast.
Ferrari won it last season and did it in good form, but with all of what we have seen from the red side, I don't know if they can pull it off again unbeknownst a miracle from down under.
Not sure if Verstappen and Perez are in good terms with eachother from after the last race.
But that just might be the media trying to stir some drama between the two red bulls for the DTS netflix show making a soap opera like storyline they have concocted or maybe for a behind the scenes.

Yes, it's really impressive, especially considering how easy it is for Aston Martin to beat Ferarri.
It's really a bit sad how Ferrari performs compared to last season. While Leclerc had a good fight (and even a big lead) early last season, Ferarri seems to be way slower compared to last season while almost all teams improved this season, especially RedBull, Aston Martin and Williams but also Alpine, Haas and Alfa Romeo to a lesser degree. There are currently only few losers: McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari, of course. 
And when we consider how weak Ferrari's in-season development has been going for a few years (Mercedes and RedBull are known for a very strong in-season development), Ferrari might not even fight for a podium in a few races, when in-season development from other teams gains traction.
Ferarri really needs to get shit done ASAP...

Since they've attracted onto their payroll a lot of smart people from all the teams they could this is not much of a surprise.
The only surprise is that they've managed to do the car this good this fast.
