Maybe he doesn't really know how to speak English and all the English he's learned is from hip hop music with explicit lyrics.  Cheesy  He should be careful.  The 'n word' might slip out of his mouth while talking on the radio.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  That would def mean the end of his F1 career.  Lolol.
From what I remember reading somewhere, English of Tsunoda isn't that good. Yeah, he should be careful not just on radio, but also while gaming, as we already saw, 'n word', even not directed to anyone, can cost contract. On the other hand, Vesrtappen called Stroll Mongol, and nothing didn't happened. But Tsunoda isn't Verstappen Cheesy.

Next race in France, one of the most boring tracks. During one of previous races there, I literally fall asleep. I hope it won't happen this time Cheesy.

But last year's race in France was exciting tho with Verstappen making a DRS pass at the last lap or I remember it was the last lap to get the win.

But yeah..  Last year was an extra ordinary season with lots of the races having that 'something extra' for the fans because it was a race for the WDC between two drivers who wouldn't budge.  I think it's gonna take three straight Leclerc wins before we see Verstappen in villain mode again and make the season as fun as last year.  Cheesy

This is very good news for the LCR Honda team and also for an experienced rider like Alex Rins. I have also read this news in several local and foreign media.
But I want to know if the Suzuki team that handled Alex Rins will also join the LCR Honda team? Or will they return to their respective homes or go to other teams next year?
Because so far I haven't found any news about where Alex Rins' own team crew is going

I read once that Suzuki has forbidden the transfer of employees to other teams, but I think it will be like with the riders, if I don't have a valid contract anymore, I can move wherever I want and I will also try to get a permanent job again.

But also LCR Honda has its permanent people, I think it will be a matter of negotiation for Rins which trusted team members he can take with him from Suzuki to Honda.

The point gap between Verstappen and Leclerc is 38 now. This is not a huge gap at all. Leclerc just needs to keep up the good work in the coming races. I liked his performance too much in the Austria GP. Despite everything in the final laps he still managed to win. I will be expecting another tough competition between them in the French GP. I'm thinking of supporting Leclerc for the win. I really want to see him as the champion this time. Ferrari are having their best season after many years. This is time for a Ferrari driver to shine.

I believe we are going to see a great race in France this time,the cars have not that big difference and we have seen from quite a lot of races during this year the maximum extreme gap between 1st and 2nd has been some like near 20 seconds in Miami if I am not mistaken.It means cars follow each other much better compared to the old versions of the 2021 F1,Ferrari is the strong favorite in this track which has a lot of turns but they have an inside enemy which is called reliability which can turn things around.Now it is time for Redbull to bring new upgrades as the new Ferrari engine is going to crush them in this track if they are still without any significant upgrade.

Rins who has three MotoGP victories, will race for LCR for the next two seasons with the support of the Honda team. I glad to hear that news. Rins is an experienced and fast driver. Regularly on the podium. In addition, Rins will contribute positively to the team's more podium challenges and motorcycle development by sharing their experiences and giving feedback to Honda LCR engineers. I can't wait to follow Rins next year.

At MotoGP are news about Rins and Honda. It's now official and Alex Rins will ride for LCR Honda for two years from the beginning 2023. I hope that Rins now again has the head clear and can ride again carefree. With the new contract, it could go uphill again with Rins after all the failures this year.

There are only a few days to go for the French GP. It doesn't have a very attention getting track maybe but I still hope to see a competitive race. Leclerc is in the competition again finally by his result in the previous race. I expect him to maintain this great effort against Verstappen once again in this race also. I will be wondering about Hamilton's performance also by the way. He has been doing a good job recently by being on podium. We will see if he will be able to maintain this here. However he needs to get lucky about Sainz and Perez threats first.

These people come from a background of a good amount of money. You do not become an F1 driver by having parents who are poor, even Lewis Hamilton who cries like they were dirt poor, had a dad 10x richer than mine, not even remotely close.

Hence, I am sure that he got a good English lesson from teachers, even tutors that came to their house to teach him English. Sure as you grow up you listen to English songs, and I am not American or from any nation that speaks English, and yet I grew up with eminem and do not swear when I speak English. It means it's a bit of a personal decision and if he is warned, he should be careful, there is no legit excuse for it at all.

Tsunoda got an ultimatum.
He has no more possible errors in his line.

The boss of Alpha Tauri chose the hard way, if Tsunoda will keep making mistakes during the season, he will be out from the team.

I think he is right, so far he has shown almost nothing for deserving a spot in F1.

Helmut Marko has also said about Tsunoda that he occasionally loses control on the radio with swear words and therefore has to/should undergo therapy. So there is not much to be said for Tsunoda, a big reason for Tsunoda getting a seat was probably Honda?

Yes , thta is right. Tsunoda has a very fiery character but a very calm outside the track. Funny right ? Well , kinda. For us , is funny to watch but for Alpha Tauri team and RedBull advisors to Yuki , it's kinda hard to work with a person like that so no wonder why they hired different people to take care of his personal health , emotions and all that. He is still young and has plenty to learn but he needs to change a bit and I'm sure if the timing is great , he will drive a championship car at some point.

I think that can be called normal under the circumstances of racing,the adrenaline is super high for all the drivers and when you talk to a driver in a difficult moment in the race is not only Tsunoda swearing,we have heard Vettel,Leclerc,Verstappen and a couple of other drivers do just that.I agree though that Tsunoda shouts it loud even though he is not fighting for the win like Leclerc and Verstappen are so most probably he should not be swearing that loud as it doesn't make any sense.

Not probably but it was because of Honda providing engines to Redbull.

The Honda team's dependence on Marc has now become a big loss for them after Marc could not make a big contribution again after suffering a serious injury, and it is likely that in the future Marc will also be the same because it is difficult for a rider to be able to return to his best form after a serious injury. even i say it is not possible.
but to replace someone who has been prioritized for a long time is very difficult it takes time for the team to recruit new drivers and adjust accordingly. but I have no doubt that the Honda team will be able to bounce back in the next few years, I believe in what the team is doing.
That's why the Honda team has started to change its thinking towards dependence on a Marc, because Marc also needs special training for himself so that he can become more fit while understanding the character of the existing bike and also the character of the new bike next year because next year the Honda team will also will make changes to their bikes in order to get good performance.

It is time for the French GP this weekend. It is a track that Lewis Hamilton dominated in the last two races. Mercedes are getting stronger now as well but they still need time to reach the level of Red Bull and Ferrari both. Hamilton must just get very lucky to be able to win again. Unless there is any surprise I expect a rivalry between Verstappen and Leclerc as usual. Verstappen would like to have his revenge after the Austria GP. On the other hand Leclerc would do his best to keep winning. I think he will win as well.

Can be only propaganda.
We already got similar news back on days, even after the 1st surgery and we already know how it went.

Moto GP is losing viewers so they need to generate hype.

(in the other hands F1 is gaining views)

It is possible, nowadays, many media are smart to make news with interesting titles but very contrary to the content. So at this time we have to read the whole article so as not to misunderstand. Indeed a few weeks ago I saw the news that he had removed his arm support aid. Even Marquez was already on vacation.
Of course it would be a surprise if he came back soon. But if you look at the injuries I think it still takes some work to come back. Overcrowding will make marquez's body even more damaged. If the Honda impose then it's the same they're destroying Marquez's career.

Yeah well the were words swirling around that one of the bigger reasons why Alpha Tauri, which is really Red Bull's sister team, is because of the deal they had with Honda before.  Now that Red Bull is taking over the whole power unit operation and starting a partnership with other engine manifacturers, they don't have an obligation to keep him after his contract expires.  And it looks like they're planning to even get rid of him before it expires.  Lol. 

I wonder who Tsunoda's replacement is gonna be.  Any talented Vettel - Verstappen type in Red Bull's junior team on the rise?
They had Vips but he said some racist stuff during a twitch gaming session and he is basically out for the time being. Plus, I know it's not like "that" much better, but Haas has Mick, and Red Bull really wants him. So, the offer could be "get the spot from Tsunoda for the remainder of the season, and then get the place of Perez next season if you show any improvement with a new and better car"?

This would have made a lot of sense last year when Alpha Tauri was "that" much better, but as we all know, Haas is not doing that bad this year, if you look at the standings they are literally above AT right now, hence it wouldn't make sense for Mick to move for the time being.

Yeah I heard about that...  And I saw the Twitch video that he was in when he said the 'n word'.  It was totally not said in a way to offend black people.  It was just said in a way how black people say it.  He was playing his game and was like 'c'mon n***a'.  That's it. 

And Mick Schmacher to Red Bull?  Who said?  I don't think it's even a possibility since he's a Ferrari academy driver.  He could get a Ferrari drive within 5 years.

As happy as I was when Leclerc won, I was just as upset when Sainz's engine exploded on lap 57 when he was so fast. If the race was 75-76 laps in Leclerc, it would seem like it would have gone towards the DNF. Ferrari gives no confidence. Though, Leclerc really races like a champion. This is the biggest difference with Sainz. If Sainz continues like this, he will be doomed to become the 2nd pilot. As Tifosi, I must say that Max is still a better pilot than Leclerc, but I think Leclerc will catch up in a year or two. I also think that if Leclerc had been in Redbull, he would have won many more races as a team, Redbull is way above Ferrari.

The big loser this year seems to really be Mercedes. They have not won a single race so far and they are happy every time Lewis is on the podium. The chance of winning the world championship is even smaller than small. This year it will mainly be trying to make the car drive as well as possible and then with full luggage to next season. I thought Max would definitely win the title, but in 2 races Leclerc seems to have come pretty close again.

Actually, Mercedes is now recovering and they are very competitive.

With this car they can win some races during the season when Max or Leclerc will have problems/penalties, they are already ahead sometimes, especially in qualify.
