With Alonso being on 3rd place , I'm sure we will have one hell of a start as he won't back down to take the lead in turn 1 as long as he had a great start.

For Max and Lec this race can count a lot if somehow Max won't finish the race but for me I think one of the McLaren cars won't finish the race and the odds are pretty attractive for this :

Due to penalties, the starting grid will not match the qualifying results:

Verstappen, Max 2.80

Sainz Jr., Carlos 3.05

Perez, Sergio 3.95

Leclerc, Charles 12.00

Hamilton, Lewis 12.20

Russell, George 17.90

Therefore, we have quotes that are very different from quotes in previous races, but at the same time, Verstappen, starting from 14th place, is still a favorite even in relation to Sainz, who will start first. It seems absurd to me, despite the fact that Verstappen won the qualification by a wide margin from everyone else.

This is history. Imagining what would have been happening if this or that would have been different is counterproductive.
I'm just imagining what he could've been but that's history and it's best to look forward now.

The new car (for the 2022 new rules) did behave much worse (compared to the rest) than the previous (2021) generation, so that's correct.
It was also bad luck for Ricci because (from my understanding) each car behaves different, has different balance and so on; Ricci had to adapt to the new McLaren when he left Renault, then he had to adapt again to the completely new McLaren in 2022. He didn't.
I remember that he had a hard time on Renault as well and it just hasn't been well since then. It's probably adjustment after adjustment. I know that there are certain rules always getting updated by the FIA which makes it harder for drivers as well.

Haas and Williams are just not competitive enough. Alfa Romeo has an experienced driver and one that brings big bucks, I don't think that anything will change there. Alpine is in turmoil and since I expect Ricci is disappointed and may not be searching too hard, they could both intersect for a "let's give each other another chance".
It's still all about the money that you can throw at the design and other essential parts in the car. They are still not there yet. I guess Ricciardo can just wait for a great opportunity. He still hasn't decided upon checking recent news.

If he could've stayed in Red Bull before

This is history. Imagining what would have been happening if this or that would have been different is counterproductive.

but Mclaren said that they share the responsibility of Ricciardo not having performed well

It could be these teams: Alpine, Alfa Romeo, Haas, or Williams.

Hamilton literally took off

He is still adjusting with the new car. Quite funny to think, but it looks like Russel has adjusted better.
It depends on how many failures will Ferrari still have, but Mercedes are actively hunting for the second place. It looks achievable now.

Ricciardo hasn't really done well with the season. Check this out from F1


If he could've stayed in Red Bull before and just accepted that he is #2 from Max, he could've had a better season on the previous years since he would have a better car. I don't know but Mclaren said that they share the responsibility of Ricciardo not having performed well. [1]



Quite shame, I hoped Ricci will do better sooner or later.. and it didn't happen. Let's see what will happen next, will he go back to Renault/Alpine?
It is quite a shame. It's a matter of time if some team would get him or something. He is a good driver but with the current season, does it look like they are going to sign him? It could be these teams: Alpine, Alfa Romeo, Haas, or Williams. Since they haven't announced their future drivers yet. [2]



Hamilton literally took off and started from the last and beat everyone and then made like 10+ seconds difference on that, I do not remember a dominance like that since early days of Mercedes new engine thing 6-7 years ago. All in all, if they fixed it, we could see something like that again.
A lot has changed with the other teams and Mercedes had a sloppy start this season. Maybe the reset could've given them a new start? Check this out by Wolff.[3] They are out for it to win so it could really mean that they have probably discovered what to do this half. I know Hamilton has a very hands-on approach when it comes to reviewing the previous races this year and still wants that 8th championship if he can.

Really missed F1 already. This is going to be pretty nice for Mercedes as well. Everyone is expecting Ferrari to have a better comeback but I feel like they would still make some mistakes eventually, whereas I can see Mercedes getting better and if they really fixed their bouncing issue then there isn't really any team that can stay ahead of them. Remember Brazil last year?

It's not a new thing.

Hiring former champions or good drivers doesn't mean you're gonna get the same result or even better. We already have a few example on the grid, so don't expect to much you're getting a good result from champion driver.

Most of the time, after a few season bad performance they're gonna to take retired.

Its really sad, yes, but we have to say the truth also, the pace of Dani Ricciardo this year was pure shit, i really cant undestand why he cant go back to his peak, i know the car doesnt fit well for him, its okay, but its seem a little more thing its passing.

The main problem if he stay in F1 its he can be in a worst car, so cant compete.

After Piastri story with Alpine, this message was only matter of time.

Well, he had the contract on his side and could have been keep an overly strong fight for his seat. But I guess that he has proven, yet again, that he's a nice person.

It's indeed sad that Danny didn't done well on Mclaren. And in general, how his career went down after Red Bull.

So true.

I think it's very likely that we won't see him in F1 next year.

If this happens I fear we won't see him in F1 ever again... on the other hand with his bad year and current situation, the morale is probably also very low and may not even care to start looking. That's why I also think that Alpine is one of this very few chances.

The first step has been done: Ricciardo is leaving McLaren at the end of this year. It's official:

Some news that I have seen regarding 2023 is a lot. Maybe some of you are interested to see it as well.

Let's see if their decisions would lead them to the right results.  Shocked
Confident is number 1 ~XD.

Come on guys, at least give a good cheer for "Tifosi" we just make F1 more fun. I think, only in F1 you have a clown & circus not only in the cars but also on the team itself. Summer break is really long, could be there has some change.

Or, we just entertain you guys again like usual.

Finally the break is over and we can get back to business in the F! season and in a challenging track in Belgium.
.....
Yeah, the circuit in Belgium is considered by many F1 connoisseurs and even racers to be the most interesting of all the circuits in F1 competition.
By the way, this route has existed for over 100 years.  Smiley
And on it, for example, the legendary Michael Schumacher won - 6 times. And Hamilton drove it the fastest in the history of the track a couple of years ago.
So expect an interesting spectacle. It will probably be one of the best races of the season.

Yeah, happy to see the summer break is over.

Red fans are gonna take this on the first race after the break. Did you guys see other red fans of Manchester United win Againts Liverpool and Ducati take a podium. Could be Ferarri taking the podium on Spa ~XD.

I'm hoping Tifosi are gonna to celebrate for the win after this break ~XD.

Lol.  Not with their team's bad decisionsin the heat of the race they won't.  It's just blunder after blunder with those guys.  And don't fade the books when it comes to F1.  They have a strong sense of what's going on.  Trust me...  I know.  Cheesy

So if the books say Verstappen is 1.90 to get pole at quali this weekend and Leclerc at 2.75, just stick with Verstappen.  But I wouldn't touch that line.  No value.  Leclerc has some value but at 2.75, def not enough meat in the bone to make it worth it...  But I'd say watch out for the Mercedes.  I think they're finally getting it together.

I like what delfastTions described this track as one for the connoisseurs of F1.
Enjoy it just like a fine wine... Inhale it all in and sit back and relax.

But I agree with you Tokeweed, the lines don't lie and the oddsmakers know exactly what is going on with the races.
Their analysis of each and every track and how all drivers have performed on it year in and year out for each and every team they had been on.
This is why I haven't put in my selections for the predictions contest nor the pool yet:
Still analyzing what could possibly happen during qualifying and who can stand to get pole position which will decide on who the winner is of the race.
It does sound quite simple but I will sit on it for a few more days until the first practice begins before putting in my picks for both. Grin

I have waited for this for a while now, and finally, have something to look forward to on the weekend. I do believe that it's going to be an exciting comeback because for sure they are really studying the season and what they could've done to improve everything to have the best results.

new iteration will be releasing soon

I would suggest not the latest version if you want as many people as possible to attend and to be able to attend then we want the easiest common base or lowest bar to entry.   I know the games companies want to sell the same game updated every year but strictly speaking its not really needed for people to play and develop any community.  
   If I spot any F1 car game on offer, even free I'll mention it because I definitely have some copies I've obtained for no charge in the past and then absolutely everyone on the thread can be involved.  Even if people get the game license in their library to use on future hardware then thats a positive.https://youtu.be/FZ8xQ2Qk2nM
  Is Monza still the fastest average speed circuit in F1.  I used to play Geoff Crammonds F1 when he was still an active programmer, I think he was the best because to begin he was a physicist who learnt to program
