A bad news, a difficult start the season for Honda and Marquez. Whether Marquez's fate will be the same as last season is a mystery, hopefully he will recover soon. Then will they have a temporary replacement driver? Otherwise it is a big loss if he goes through many races. Marquez has a great chance to win this season because he is still able to compete.

Yes, that's obviously bad news and I've also seen it on the official MotoGP website where Marquez won't be participating in the Argentine Grand Prix later and this clearly has something to do with the concussion and diplopia that came back after Crash in the mandalika during the warm-up session.
For replacement riders, there has also been some news stating that Stefan Bradl is very ready if he is called by Honda to replace Marquez in the Argentina race.

Rossi has not left MotoGP and will be a part of it for a long time. Just in a different function, team boss. There are so many talents from our own #46 academy that all can cheer for it, like Bagnaia for example. I don't see a problem with that, but the yellow Rossi caps will definitely be around for years, but I also see at this no problem.

It's official, Marc Marquez will pass the next Grand Prix in Argentina.

It is sad to say it but I think we saw the peak of his career.
He will probably never be the same and who knows if he cannot reach the top again he may retire too.

It was clear that sector 1 was the main place where ferrari did their best. However, it is also clear that the difference between the cars is minimal. I mean you could say ferrari is only slightly better when you look a few things, but both cars are quite on level. This is why we have such huge competition right now, before Max retired in bahrain, they had a great fight there as well and now this happens. So saying that ferrari is better there and red bull is better here would be futile, they both have their powers, but at the end of the day the races will come down to who drives better that day. At least for the time being, don't know how it will happen later on.

It's a pity for the fans of Marquez, but even if he had won one or two races this year, I don't think he would have a real chance to win the world champion titel this year.

Due to the many injuries I think the career of Marc Marquez is soon over, Marc is a racer and always wants to win, and if that is no longer possible, he will soon end bis career early like Lorenzo. I think so anyway.

it makes me happy to see Ferrari get back on track and challenge for the championship again. I'm happy to see any team win but the Mercedes. Lol.

I'm really happy they're back, too. The red car belongs at the front, challenging for titles. You're happy for anyone but Merc to win, I'm happy for anyone but that arrogant, entitled d*ck Verstappen to win Cheesy

.
But really now that we have Ferrari back where they belong, I'd secretly like to see Alonso back at the front too, where he belongs, fighting for race wins and for the title. Doesn't look likely, though.

Quote from: tokeweed on March 28, 2022, 06:35:10 PM

I think the Ferrari has the slightly faster car.

I think RB had the faster car here. I know Perez had an inspired qualifying lap, but there's no way he takes pole ahead of both Leclerc and Sainz if the RB is slower.
But it's certainly quite close, and some tracks will favour RB more, some Ferrari.

I get the hate. I hate Hamilton too no matter how good he is on the track. The other driver I like was hated a lot too when he was still winning, Vettel. Lol. And Alonso was somewhat of a d*ck too in his day when he was winning. These personalities is what really makes it all more exciting.

And I dunno man... That Ferrari power unit looks like it could still go faster as the season passes.

Anyway.. I have a feeling Leclerc wins the Aussie GP.

It depends on the layout of the track,Ferrari was winning in the technical part of the track while on the top speed parts Redbull completely crashed it and it was just for the bravery of Verstappen that he won the race.Perez has a lot to offer I think but he needs just a bit more time,maybe he was "drunk" from the success of being the first Mexican to ever get Pole position in F1.I think the layout of the Australian GP offers both technical parts and both top speed parts,DRS should play an important role here also and I think from what I have seen in the first two races the win will be either a Ferrari or a Redbull.

I think you got it wrong... In quali the both Ferraris were faster in sector 1, which was the part with more straights, both Red Bulls was faster at sector 2, the more technical part of the track then at sector 3, it was Perez followed by Sainz, Leclerc then Verstappen. But we'll see in a couple of weeks.

They must forget and have to be realistic to do not hope too much he back to the circuit. We know he was a hero in the heart of fans, but Rossi is a human have a normal life. The company also has to start looking for new talent like Rossi. We know Italy has several talents like Morbidelli, Bagnaia, and Dovizioso. Maybe this is a good time for them to start to find a place for Rossi fans, even though it's hard but impossible is nothing.

I think so too because it was very clear that it was time for Rossi to leave MotoGP like the previous Legends and in the past few days Rossi himself also revealed that he no longer misses MotoGP because he is now a GT World racer.
And the previous Rossi fans obviously have to look for other talented riders if they still like MotoGP for now.

Pol Espargaro said:

“This year's bike is definitely very different. I don't know if it suits Marc, but if you are fast on the old bike you should be super fast on the new bike. Because it offers extra grip, which is always very helpful."

“It is safer, faster in acceleration and top speed. Better cornering speed. It's easier to stop because the rear tire stays on the ground longer.”

"I think we will get back into the game this year. I feel the bike is much more adaptable to the tires and it took us a year to understand the problems we had. The new bike builds on the solution we thought of last year. What we wanted to achieve, we have achieved."
^{Source: Speedweek & gpzone.id}

Maybe what Pol Espargaro said could be true, but because this refers to some very good tests and performances at the start of the race in Qatar, but now that it is closer to the Race in Argentina, I also want to see how Honda performs there because of the data in the past, Honda looked very good and suited the Argentine circuit.

based on the number of TV viewers and live broadcast viewers, an Italian media concluded that half a million Valentino Rossi fans are expected to no longer follow MotoGP after the Italian superstar retires.

Ah yeah. But third place was given back eventually after 3 or 4 laps wasn't it or did Sainz passed Perez under DRS? I can't remember... So it all worked out in the end for Sainz. So there's really no 'robbery' there.

But don't worry coinlocket$, I know you're a real Ferrari supporter and between you and me, it makes me happy to see Ferrari get back on track and challenge for the championship again. I'm happy to see any team win but the Mercedes. Lol.

So I already like the new regulations, the drivers can now finally drive close behind each other again and over several laps without the driver behind being disadvantaged. The fight between Verstappen and Leclerc was on a par and very nice to watch, both drivers were simply top, and you could also see that they are stronger than their team colleagues, so the position at Ferrari will soon be taken, at RedBull it was clear, even if Perez was unlucky in this race.

For the moment yes, they can but in the future who knows, the Aerodynamic will improve again and if will improve a lot the problem caused by the dirty air will come again even if probably less dominant.

Quote from: tokeweed on March 28, 2022, 06:35:10 PM

Overall if we're talking about a 'robbery', it was Perez who got ultimately robbed of everything. He had pole at quali but got nothing after the race. That sucks.

First safety car favored Leclerc and he had the pace to take first all the way to the end. Second safety car favored Verstappen as it got Leclerc and Verstappen closer together and a higher possibility for an overtake. All in all it was nobody's fault... On to the next.

Edit: I think the Ferrari has the slightly faster car.

Besides the fact that what happens to Perez is a thing that can happen to anyone in the race, a safety car can be an advantage or disadvantage for anyone.

Unlike that what Perez did with Sainz was dirty as hell and against the rule.

Big difference.

Max won but I think they "robbed" the race with the safety car, they were 1.6 behind and after the virtual safety car they were on DRS range.

Fun race but feels like a robbery, they also did same shit with Perez vs Sainz before the 1st safety car

It was a great race to watch yesterday again and the new season could really be a very exciting one. I kinda feel bad for Sergio Perez though. After his great performance in the qualifying he was also leading the race pretty comfortably i would say but then he was just extremely unlucky that he went for the pit stop only 1 or 2 laps before the crash of Latifi happened and the safety car had to come out. He lost his leading position just because of that. The battle between Leclerc and Verstappen was also really exciting to watch and could have ended with either one of those two as the winner of yesterdays race. Maybe it will really be a fight between Ferrari and Red Bull this year. Mercedes needs to step up.

That's exactly how I see it, a very good race, something that has been very rare in recent years. But let's not write Mercedes off, they will get their problems under control, especially the porposing, they will get it under control the next races, then they are good for the podium again.

Quote from: el kaka22 on March 28, 2022, 11:08:02 AM

The funniest scene of all the race was Max declining to pass Leclerc before the straight Cheesy

. Both of them literally reached near stopping levels before they continued and that was a very smart chess play by both racers. Leclerct went ahead and took it further than the overtake levels but that allowed Max to not be close enough next lap around and allowed him to pass Leclerc during the pit straight.

It's really a good race when you know that it could have gone either way. This was really what we were missing from F1 for such a long time, people racing close to each other, having fights, not just at the top, we have seen so many overtakes from every single position.

Leclerc did this maneuver in front of the line very cleverly the first time, only Verstappen didn't fall for it a second time, but that's what distinguishes of the two, there are fair tricks on both sides, which makes it exciting.

I agree with the people who do not like Lewis and say that his car was the only reason why he got 7 titles

If you genuinely believe that, then I think it's a pretty stupid comment. You don't have to look any further than his debut season to tell he would be a great driver and capable of being a multiple world champion. You can usually see it with the best drivers. Same with Max. Another thing that helps to distinguish great drivers is how they perform in the wet.

Quote from: ingiltere on March 27, 2022, 05:19:02 PM

Today's race was fun and it's good to see Mick Schumacher in the event after yesterdays awful crash. It could've been Leclerc's win but Ferrari still got two spots of the podium and first in the team standings. The competition is long and we've just started. Sometimes Leclerc will win, sometimes Verstappen, but I'm sure we will watch a great season this year.

I thought Ferrari had the fastest car, but now I'm leaning towards RB... but it may just be that it's quite finely-balanced, and different tracks suit different cars better. Ferrari are fastest in the slower corners, RB fastest on the straights. It is certainly shaping up to be a good fight, although Sainz maybe needs to step up a bit.
