I am curious about the race, Ferrari and RedBull look very strong, also in the race? The Ferrari engines seem very strong, which is also seen in the performance of the customer teams, for me very sad for Kimi, last year he had no chance with the car and Alfa also seems strong this year and it seems Alfa is ready for a good midfield team and good for points.

The current MotoGP standings already look very fierce through the number of points from each rider because in the two races that have taken place this month, there have been two different winners so the distance between the points from the drivers doesn't look that far and this will be very exciting for each race. in this season if the winner can always be different in all circuits.

I certainly hope that the injury he suffered will improve soon so that he can return to participate in the moto GP event. btw, the rain this afternoon (eastern Indonesia time) really delayed a lot of time and thank goodness the rain stopped before nightfall.

This is a snapshot of the lightning that struck the circuit during the rain earlier, fortunately, there were no casualties https://twitter.com/MotoGP/status/1505482724601176064
If only there could be casualties because of the lightning, then it is very possible that the MotoGP race will be delayed and that is something that is not wanted by everyone because the audience who came to Mandalika this time was also very large, including the presidential entourage as well. arrived there today.

Unfortunately Marc Marquez got injured due to the few crashes during the classification and he cant participate in the race today. Not really good news for his fans in Indonesia but at least the race is running now although it was delayed because of heavy rain in Mandalika. It is a wet race now, Quartararo did a great start but he is now down in 5th position. On top of that, this event is a big history for Indonesia.

My favorite is still the Ducati. Quartararo became a Yamaha rider who was surrounded by Ducati, Aprillia, and KTM. This is a question for me, why only one. The distance of the other Yamaha riders is very far even outside the top 10. Did they build a bike just for Quartararo? This is bad.
In addition, unpredictable weather problems made it difficult for some teams, which made it interesting. Maybe if the weather changes to rain the Ducati will be even better.
Yamaha has never made a special motorbike for only one Rider, Franco Morbidelli, who is Quartararo's team mate, was also in second place during FP2 in Mandalika.
And at the time of qualifying Franco Morbidelli had a crash and had to replace his motorbike, but unfortunately after he turned a few laps in the final minutes of qualifying, he had suffered a penalty which made him have to go down 3 grids at the start of the race.

Fabio Quartararo managed to finish in 2nd place after fighting with Alex Rins, Johan Zarco, and Jack Miller, so he could reach the podium in second and unfortunately he did that after the race left a few laps to go so he was not able to catch Miguel Oliveira from KTM who was in front of him .
And for Marc Marquez today was a bad day because he suffered a very severe crash during WUP before noon which made him absent from today's Mandalika race.

After the monsoon the cards would be reshuffled and you can see that Miller is an excellent rain rider, impressive. Very exciting race, I like rain races because the differences of the bikes are not decisive. 3 laps to go, something can always happen.

Of course, Quartararo has a favorite. but I think he will get a lot of resistance from Ducati. As I can see, Martin, Zarco, Bagnaian, and Bastianini, she is surrounded by the Ducati team. as we know, Mandalika has a hairpin bend with hard to beat it, Marquez has experienced it and got crashed twice. Fabio has skill with the bend, if he chooses good tires in this morning he will get the victory. 

#IndonesianGP
The Mandalika Circuit has a lot of corners, so that's what Fabio Quartararo will take advantage of today, considering that Ducati can't bring out much potential at the Mandalika Circuit, where the straights are not as long as other circuits.
So I prefer Fabio Quartararo as the winner today if he can be very consistent and don't make any mistakes during the race.

I was very surprised when I saw the Mandalika MotoGP qualifying today where a lot of riders fell, including Marquez himself, fell twice today and once yesterday.
And congrats to Fabio Quartararo who has earned the Pole Position this season after struggling in Qualification and FP, because during the race in Qatar a few weeks ago he also suffered a lot with the performance of the bike.

The beauty about this 2022 F1 season is that all the teams are well-scattered among the places. Since there is a new car and new regulations, all of the teams are placed on the drawing board figuring out the most plausible aerodynamic crafts to make their cars faster. Unlike the previous season, Mercedes and Redbull were among the teams that showed dominance throughout the entire grand prix.

But the biggest difference is, all of the teams currently have a chance to at least snatch the first pole position in 2022 Bahrain GP. It was such a good sight to see Ferrari back on track again- Leclerc getting that pole position into quali. That is why, I am so excited for this season!

New circuits provide new challenges, and the fastest learners will earn the ultimate reward! 🏆 Who will make history in Mandalika this afternoon? 🤔 #IndonesianGP 🇮🇩

I'm more sure that Yamaha will dominate here, especially Quartararo if he doesn't have an accident or other technical problems, because the time he made in qualifying yesterday has given a sign that Quartararo can be very strong to fight in front.

Everyone has seen the MotoGP Qualifier at the Mandalika circuit today and a lot of interesting things happened today at the Mandalika Circuit which led me to make a special prediction about Quartararo who will win tomorrow's race if he doesn't crash.
What about everyone's predictions here ? is there a different prediction with me ?

Don't underestimate Mercedes.

They have some problems, true but when they will figure out how to fix the porposing they will be the Team.

But we are still early and by the end of the season, these cars will probably be at least 1 second faster so the team who will get more "deep learning" will win.

The fact that Haas became a lot better this season shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. For the past 2 seasons (even a bit 2.5 seasons) they have been pouring every single possible money into making the next seasons car even better. This is not really that much shocking considering they realized they couldn't profitably keep on making some money while trying to be at the top, and they never really had a top place for a long.

This is why I believe that there is a good chance that they will be good this season, and if they can have a sustainable good season and another year, then they will be getting more sponsors and get money. If not then they will end up being bad again.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc finished first in the qualifying laps of the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix and won the pole position. Ferrari drivers performed very well in qualifying. Ferrari thus made a very strong start.

Ferrari performed very well today. And the last training sessions they have also been very good. It's different on Sunday when they race against each other, but Mercedes seems to be having a really hard time. Leclerc is a very nice guy, he will certainly be awarded to compete for the title. LeClerc still favorite to win the race tomorrow? Or Verstappen. Hamilton is a long way off at the moment, but it's only the first race of the season.

ya.ya.yo!

Awesome, sorry to all I really underestimated the personal performance. Honda was really weak for me which I didn't expect... but that's how it is and I think it's damn good and unpredictable. Perfect for a world championship.

I honestly don't know what to think about Mercedes. I can't imagine Mercedes being so much behind Ferrari and Redbull. It could also just be tactics today, and they'll be great tomorrow with Hamilton and WIlliams. It was to be expected that Verstappen would be good, but I didn't think Ferrari would be this good. It's nice that there are now several drivers and several teams that are closer to each other. In previous years it was a battle between Mercedes and Red Bull, that will be different this season.

I got the prediction correctly  Grin

I wasn't a long way off, either. Cheesy

I'd have Max to win, with Ferraris 2 and 3... and the same for qualifying, unless Perez can somehow split the red cars.

I don't think qualifying revealed any surprises, everyone is about where we thought they would be. Maybe I'm a bit surprised at Bottas being so high, but nothing really other than that.
So we've seen the raw pace that the cars have, the questions for tomorrow are what's overtaking and close following like, is it easier as intended? Will tyre deg be improved - I think early indications from the drivers are it's not as good as hoped. And then finally, will there be any reliability issues?
