Leclerc needs to keep his head down after making a pathetic error already in the first lap in Australia as he is having difficulties with his temperament,results do not come by yelling on radio or complaining there but by keeping your head down and doing your maximum on your part and only after doing such performance then you can ask your team a lot of things but not before doing so.Based on this I think that Leclerc is not a driver who can be fighting for winning Championships and Ferrari would be better in changing their first driver to Sainz who did an awesome race in Australia.

Pathetic error?

Wasn't Stroll missing the breaking point and smashing on him avoiding the crash with his team mate Alonso?

Exactly,his rushing brought him out of the race and as such he should learn from the best,tell me one race where Michael Schumacher has tried to win so many positions in the first lap,yes very few because he knew that Championships are not won in the first lap of every race.I used to like Leclerc but I don't anymore exactly because of his rushing,his team mate made an excellent race which was turned in vain because of race directors and all those red flags but he drove like he should and Ferrari was much better than the first two races.All the drivers who have won Championships have something in common,and that something is patience which Leclerc seems to not have so far,I hope he clears his mind and shows us much better competitions next race.

It is really annoying to see that not much thing has changed when it comes to the probable champion. Verstappen is already far ahead of all his competitors on the grid now.

Red Bull are getting faster every season. They are going to upgrade the car even more during the season of course. This will just make them unbeatable in normal conditions. This is really unfair for spectators because it just doesn't let any proper championship race to be seen. Even Perez is having serious difficulties against his teammate despite having the same car. I would really love to see Leclerc becoming a world champion at least for once in his career. I hope Ferrari can give him this opportunity in the future.

The battle for the world championship was already decided after 1 round. Then we already saw how stable the RB car was compared to the other cars. Of course you also need a good driver to win that victory. Could Perez also become world champion on his own, for example? What would happen if Verstappen drove for Mercedes and Hamilton for REd Bull, for example? I myself wonder how Verstappen would do in the Mercedes car. I would also like to see Verstappen and Hamilton together in a team again, but that is a uoption that will never happen I suspect.

I think we need to see a whole new calendar for this to really work. I understand that more races means more money so I am willing to make it as long as it logistically can become, but we need to make sure that the breaks are not this long.

I get why China would cancel and all, but not replacing it with something else is a weird decision, they should have put another race there instead, and not like we lack any tracks, there are tracks all around the world, some that were used just recently and never again. I hope that we have a situation where it's at most one week we pass up, then maybe summer break, but aside from that we have races all the time.

When you have 24 races, even with 1 week breaks here and there, that shouldn't take you more than 30-32 weeks at most, but even with more breaks and summer one month break, it should be at the very most 40 weeks, that still gives 3 months break off-seasons as well. I feel like that's the best we could do. All of this multi week breaks makes no sense to me at all.

Leclerc was seen as the greatest talent behind Max Verstappen, but perhaps we should refine that opinion a bit. He doesn't have the best car with Ferrari, that's true. Yet he has already made a number of mistakes that he should not have made. And those are mistakes that Verstappen does not make at all. Mercedes is partially back, with 2x a podium place for Hamilton. They are also way back at Mercedes, but becoming world champion this year is impossible. It is mainly about performing as well as possible with the car and seeing where the limits lie and finding the optimal balance. And go for 2nd place, which in my opinion is still possible for Hamilton.

There is a really long time until the next race in Azerbaijan. I'm really disappointed to come across a long break like this so early in the season. It is like a summer break I mean. Anyway I hope that Ferrari make use of this free time as good as possible to make an improvement. Because they look really slow and problematic still. Mercedes and Aston Martin both impress us more.

It is really funny to see Ferrari having the same kind of communication and call issues this season as well. Especially Leclerc must be having difficulties in staying patient despite all this.

And what's the news with China suspending their race? Pretty sure it isn't about covid anymore and if they say that it is, it's prolly covering up for something else.

They chosen to cancel the GP months ago when they had high cases of Covid.

As we know China has always been very restrictive with its policies against Covid.

Ferrari did an appeal to get the 5 seconds of the penalty to Sainz to be removed.

If they will win the appeal Sainz will be 4th again up from the 12th position.

It won't change much in the standings overall but the great news if it happens is that it will give a huge moral boost to Sainz which to be honest did a super drive in this last race and it was thrown away because of stewards and race direction.

It is a shame that China has suspended their race and that now we will have to wait until Azerbaijan race which is further away and I can't really wait that long for a F1 race honestly Grin

.

But it's something a team needs to do in order for the FIA or the whoever to second guess themselves before giving out penalties. These things shouldn't just slide to the side without at least getting some scrutiny. I think any team should always fight for an appeal if placed in the same spot.

Yeh, they could just race anywhere else as they did 2 years ago during Covid.
The next race will be in 3 weeks.

Ferrari already promised a massive upgrade for Baku.

There is little news circulating at this time that Honda and Yamaha will both try new components at the Jerez test later. As is known, Fabio Quartararo is currently struggling with a blunt weapon in MotoGP. Because of that, he hopes the official test at Jerez can provide fresh air.

Likewise with Honda after hearing the reasons from Rins who felt they did not match the Marquez chassis. So that Alex Rins was not completely sure of the Marc Marquez chassis provided for him at the Argentine MotoGP. He faced various problems that made him lose his chance to break into the top five. And the decision is that Honda will test the new chassis in the Test at Jerez which will take place on Monday (10/4/2023) and Tuesday, where apart from the Honda, KTM, Aprilia and Yamaha test teams will also take part.

Yes, Marco Bezzecchi surprised me. I thought Bagnaia would be the one to win again, but he was up on lap 17. Alex Marquez's performance is also not bad, he is quite able to carry the bike well. But I'm not sure Alex will continue to stabilize at the top because this is just the beginning. Bezzecchi's death and Bagnaia's fall made a blessing, Bezzecchi is currently ranked first with 50 points. Here's a table of the top 10 race results in Argentina and provisional rankings.

If it was a dry race, I think Pecco would have dominated the race and won the race again. Anyway he did a mistake that make him crashed and failed to earn points from the race. Maybe he would be finished on 3 or 4 if he was not crashed.

The results of the first 2 races make the competition become interesting, at least no rider is dominating so far. Bezzechi, Zarco and Alex did their best in the first 2 races. For Alex, it seems that this season he is finding his best bike (ducati) so he could gain significant points in the first 2 races. Lets wait for the 3rd race, I hope to see another new winner.

Breaking news.

Massa could appeal to a court after Ecclestone said the past week " I know about the crash gate and I've covered it up".

Massa wants to cancel the Gp of Singapore, if he will do so he will the world Champion. and a title will be removed from Hamilton.

Will Brazil be able to place another flag in the F1 ranking?
The last time a Brazilian won an F1 championship was in 1994 with the fabulous Airton Sena. Since then we have had Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa as the best candidates, but neither managed to be champion.
We know that F1 has many obscure things and that it will be very difficult for Felipe Massa to change this decision, it will be necessary to firmly prove these arguments and make a lot of "noise" in order to put pressure on FIFA's leaders.
If in fact the title is due to Felipe Massa, I hope he wins and receives what is rightfully his and that of all Brazilians.

Red Bull was also faster last season by force majeure, only it was such a crazy race that it could also fall on Mercedes' side, but such events naturally make racing fun. The next race will take a while, as it will only be held in Australia on the last day of April. Then the drivers have a few weeks off to recover. All that traveling does make you pretty tired of course. Daniel Riccardio will want to show what he can do in front of his home crowd, but I don't think he's good enough and a bigger problem is the car he's driving, which isn't good either enough is. He has also fallen far back when you consider that he was first and 2nd driver together with Verstappen.

Red Bull are expected to be 0.2 seconds faster in the Azerbaijan GP according to the news I have heard of. Because they are planning to bring an update to this Grand Prix. Red Bull have already had the fastest car by far and they are even getting faster with these updates now. I really don't have any idea how the other teams can keep up with this power now.

It doesn't look like there is a team that aim to fight with Red Bull head-to-head now anyway. For now Mercedes and Aston Martin are the teams closest to them in power but even they are falling quite behind. Verstappen is so comfortable in front of the other drivers as long as he doesn't have any issue with the car.

It was unlucky luck for Bagnaia. I bet on him, but he fell and it cost me to lose. I think the sprint race points can make him quickly move away at the top of the class. But his misfortune made it a failure. Supposedly, if he stays at number two at the end of the race, he will get an additional twenty points, he will stay at number one in the provisional class. I was also surprised that M. Bezzecchi was able to win, but I was not surprised about the bike. I feel Ducati is very promising to win this year.

Yes, that is more appropriate to say because bad luck is unlucky fate for Bagnaia in this wet race. And the victory that Bezzecchi got through the Mooney VR46 team was also very worthy because besides the motorbike being very supportive, he (Bezzecchi) also seemed so consistent in making his lap times better in these wet conditions. However, for the next race which will also be in America, to be precise at the Austin circuit, it seems that there will also be more surprises because several riders who were absent in Argentina yesterday will return for the next race, including Marquez.
