in the pre-season test at the Mandalika circuit some time ago Yamaha gave the 2nd best time and it proved that this circuit is suitable for Yamaha motorcycles, in the Race which will start this weekend I think Yamaha will be able to rise and compete in the front row especially for their rider Fabio Quartararo who was very down in the first Qatar Race 2 weeks ago.
If you look at the results of the pre-season test at the Mandalika circuit, I predict that at the Race weekend Yamaha will compete closely with Honda in the front row, I leave Ducati because in the pre-season test Ducati did not give a good time at this circuit.

And what is seen now is also very clear that the Honda manufacturer has shown an outstanding performance in the FP1 MotoGP at the Mandalika circuit.
But something very surprising also happened to the two factory Yamahas in FP2 MotoGP at the Mandalika circuit today by occupying 1st and 2nd positions.
So it's very clear that Yamaha's motorbike is also very suitable for the character of the Mandalika circuit and I'm sure Yamaha will not have any difficulties there unless there are other factors such as weather.

Two Yamaha riders dominated FP2 MotoGp Mandalika today although Quartararo was thrown outside the top 10 during the FP1 session where he used the wrong tire at that time, but as soon as FP2 progressed, he tried to use Medium - Soft tires and his Lap time was very good compared to the Hard - Medium tires in the FP1 session where he was the only one who used such a combination of tires during the FP1 session.

The flowing layout of the Pertamina Mandalika Circuit has received special attention from MotoGP racers and Brembo, as the brake supplier, provides vital data ahead of the Indonesian Grand Prix, this weekend.

Based on the information provided by Brembo, the Mandalika Circuit, which will be the venue for the Indonesian GP, the second round of the 2022 MotoGP, only has a few braking points, between Turns 3 and 9.

Based on Brembo information, as reported by Speedweek, MotoGP racers use the brakes for 28 seconds in one lap at the Mandalika Circuit, which has a track length of 4,301 kilometers (km).

In percentage terms, according to Brembo's projections, the brakes are used by riders at 31 percent of the race distance, both in WSBK and the MotoGP World Championship.

What is very striking from the Brembo data is that, from Turn 3 to 9 of the Mandalika Circuit, there is only one braking point at Turn 7, in which it is only used for 1.8 seconds.

With a flowing track layout and minimal braking points, the Indonesian GP race at Mandalika will be interesting, because there is more potential for overtaking at corners.

Vettel did not travel to Bahrain at all - he still tested positive in Switzerland - and Hülkenberg will drive for Aston Martin in Bahrain instead.

I think Corona will be around for a while this season and Hülkenberg could be in a Formula 1 cockpit more often this year.

https://sport.sky.de/formel1/artikel/formel-1-news-sebastian-vettel-positiv-auf-das-coronavirus-getestet/12568268/34130

I expected to see Hulkenber guest appearance during the season, but definitely not in the first race of season. Getting covid is bad news for Vettel, but I'm always happy to see Hulk racing.

Not a good start for Sebastian Vettel
He is positive for covid19.

Hulkenberg will take his spot. Only 14 ish hours left at the start of the season.

Favorite team? RedBull.

To me that looks like they think maybe Ferrari have the best car, but Max and Lewis can compensate for that because they are better drivers in slightly worse cars.

My feeling is that Red Bull have the best car, with Ferrari second, and Mercedes some way behind. I fully expect Mercedes to catch up and maybe even become the top car at some point, but I'm not convinced it will happen in the first race. I'd have Max to win, with Ferraris 2 and 3... and the same for qualifying, unless Perez can somehow split the red cars.

a lot of people who are eagerly looking forward to the start of the new season. I am also very curious, in several ways. Would the engines of Red Bulle and Mercedes be the best again or will Ferrari finally compete for the world title again? It would be nice if we have 3-4 teams that are a serious contender for the championship, and not again the clash between Hamilton and Verstappen, because that gets boring pretty quickly.

It will probably come down to who will be the one who fixes that proposing thing first. Whoever fixes that, will be able to get many points at the first races, obviously other teams will figure out a way eventually after that, but by that time the team with no problems would be ahead.

I keep saying that I feel like this could be the year for Ferrari, Sainz is a great racer as well and finished 5th behind two big teams, and I believe that they could technically win this year if the cars has less dirty air. They always manage to get close, but overtaking red bull and Mercedes is almost always a trouble, with these new designs, we could see Ferrari do a lot better.

Daniel Ricciardo is positive to COVID.
If he can't recover Oscar Piastri will be probably his substitute for the race, borrowed from ALPINE.

He is an elite driver.

So I just heard Vettel got covid too which really sucks for both drivers as they'd be losing crucial time and with knowing the quirks of these new cars and how to adjust.

I think there's a lot of value for 'Mr. Saturday' in quali if you guys know what I'm talking about. Him in potentially the fastest car on the grid is a winnaaar. Lol. 10 bucks win around 100. Not bad imho. I think he'll be no push over like Bottas.

I am super excited to see the F1 season starting this weekend. However, with still nothing known about which car being faster than the other, and which teams figuring out the problems and which ones who haven't, it is going to be hard to wager on the first race. We will obviously see which team will be better after the first race a bit better, but it also doesn't mean that we won't have changes after the first few races.

Even if this bouncing problem exists for most teams, after the first one or two races, we will have all teams figuring out a way to stop that, which will be the real season start. Bahrain will be more like testing 2.0 instead of being a real race if you ask me.

Yes mate, a lot of people who are eagerly looking forward to the start of the new season. I am also very curious, in several ways. Would the engines of Red Bulle and Mercedes be the best again or will Ferrari finally compete for the world title again?

@FanEagle my gut feeling tells me that this is the season Ferrari rises and dominates all the other teams, because if they fail to do that then I’m surely going to be disappointed cause they promised a lot for this season. @BitcoinAccepted you’re wrong Hamilton and Verstappen clashes were making F1 interesting last season, and I’m pretty sure their that rivalry is only going to get nasty once the season resumes.

each racer has a different racing style, so it must be adapted to the bike, of course, motor power is also needed in order to compete optimally in the front row.

In any race, engine power is needed apart from a racing style that can adapt the rider to a motorbike, because every manufacturer has a motorbike with a different character.

Quote

I saw Yamaha's performance decline this season at the Qatar Opening Race a few weeks ago.
for the next race at the Mandalika circuit it is very difficult to predict who will be in the front row because this is a new circuit.

Mandalika is a new circuit which is a little less worthy to be compared to the Qatar circuit and the Qatar race also cannot be used as a basic reference because almost all the riders at the Qatar Race suffered including Marquez himself as well so he also did not get any podiums there.

Quote

Even so, I still prefer Ducati to be in the front row or compete in the front row because they have very high power.

Many people will indeed choose Ducati this season because the Ducati manufacturer currently uses three engine models on four different teams (three of which are satellite teams)

Some of the marshals on duty at the Mandalika Circuit received training from firefighters (damkar) of Central Lombok Regency, MGPA, as well as instructors from IMI.

Fire fighting training is very necessary in racing, especially when there is an emergency there is a spark that can ignite a fire on the rider's motorbike. This anticipation is also carried out for the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia on March 18-20, 2022 later.

A total of 42 marshals on special duty to extinguish the fire that spread across the track along with 10 people who are on standby in the paddock area.

These marshals are part of a team, consisting of five people who will be assigned to a guard post on the 4.31-kilometer Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit track.

The training and simulation focus on the basics of recognizing the type of fire according to the material being burned, the use of APAR (light fire extinguishers), and techniques to extinguish the red rooster.

Decent odds for Max Verstappen actually. He's is at 3.00 the last time I looked with Hamilton around 3.45. And yeah that's the thing, we're all guessing here... Even the sports betting sites are guessing here. Cheesy

It's why I think some value could be had before qualifying. And the sportsbetting sites could also be slow in adjusting the lines for the next couple of races if either of the Ferraris win at Bahrain.

Yeah, you might be right. 3.00 is decent for Verstappen. I wouldn't put any money on Hamilton though, I do think some of the Merc problems are genuine and they will be behind Ferrari and Red Bull at least in the first race. And yes, if Max storms through qualifying and takes a dominant pole, those odds would deteriorate significantly. But I'm still not willing to bet yet... a Max win certainly seems possible, but so many other things seem just as possible, too.

Are both (Suzuki and Yamaha) still using the same machine, Inline-4?. when I look at a year ago, Suzuki looks aggressive than Yamaha with the same machine, but for sure it depends on who the racer in. Mir said Yamaha is more than smoother, maybe because Yamaha especially Quartararo choose right tires so that when being around in bend, Yamaha looks smooth with no slip.

Yes the Suzuki and Yamaha have the same engine concept the 4 cylinder inline engine. But it seems that Suzuki has improved the engine a lot in the last two years, last year the engine development was frozen, so the last engine was in use for two years and this year there is a new engine, and all teams except apparently Yamaha have made a step forward, whether the Yamaha is smoother than the Suzuki is hard to say.

Here is a very good comparison between the V-engine and the in-line engine.
