Morbidelli hasn't had the perfect feeling for the Yamaha bike this year so he's clearly lagging behind with the rookies, as well as the other riders who are also going through the same thing as Morbidelli's where there are some riders adjusting to the bike this year.

I hope that Yamaha will be able to overcome its deficiencies to a certain extent. Aside that, I don't think it'll be enough for the Championship. Puig is right, if honda hadn't given MM93 a bike that have to be riden beyond the limits in e every race he may not have had all the crashes and nearly ending his career!

This week we will also continue with F1. I am very curious whether Mercedes can get a good car on the track this time. They are really the big losers of the season so far, and have little perspective. it must be horrible for hamilton to drive a car that doesn't do what it wants. Mercedes is not even close to the championship. If this continues, there is a chance that he will be gone from Mercedes next season. But not at Ferrari or Red Bull I think.

but I think it's all inseparable from the skill of Fabio Quartararo who is able to ride a Yamaha motorbike very well, maybe it's all because last season he was also with Yamaha so he already got a very good feeling.
different from Morbidelli who was unable to compete even though he was scattered in the back row even though he was using the same motorbike as Fabio.

The Aprilia that Alex has used this season is really fantastic, now he is in 2nd place in the standings to win the world championship and he has already got 3x podiums from 6 series this season.

Now look at Maverick Vinales who also rides the same bike as Alex, I see that the two are very different in every race that only an Alex is really seen in Aprilia, as well as Honda where Pol Espargaro also shares the same fate as Maverick Vinales .

It is a good poster, yeah. One thing I don't understand is why the guy from Ghostbusters is in it.

There are rumours of Suzuki pulling out after this season, and Dorna has now officially asked Suzuki to what extent this would be possible and whether a unilateral termination of the existing contract is not possible.

It would be a great pity if Suzuki left MotoGP, especially after the last world championship title.

I also regret that if this actually happens, because basically Suzuki itself has also signed a contract with Dorna until 2026 to compete in MotoGP, but only because of economic factors that are no longer possible, Suzuki must make a statement like this in order to withdraw himself from MotoGP.
Hopefully, Suzuki will still be there next year with a better update, because Suzuki has a very good motorbike in terms of handling and stability at corner speed, so it would be a shame if they had to leave MotoGP.

Michael Schumacher in the end of his career he joined Mercedes a German team to give his expertise in developing the car and it was mostly because of him that Mercedes in the year 2014 and up had a winning car,Schumi invested a couple of years developing the car together with the technical team.Now with all the experience Hamilton has he could do the same as a bare minimum for McLaren but I would like to see him win another title with McLaren before he quits.

I don't think that's right... It wasn't really Schumacher's expertise that shot Mercedes up to dominate F1 starting 2014. It was the engine rule change from the V8 aspirated engines to the V6 turbo that gave Mercedes the edge as the technical team had more advanced R&D with the V6 than the rest of the teams.

Yes, definitely it was the engine change and Merc's technical edge that propelled them to the front of the field in the last era. I wouldn't credit Schumacher with much if anything there.
As for Hamilton moving or retiring, I think what he wants is that 8th title. If that doesn't look achievable at Mercedes, I can't see him going to another also-ran team if the car can't compete, even McLaren. What would be his motivation?

Indeed, I loved the poster prepared for the Miami GP. Cheesy

As it is in Miami, it wouldn't be good not to mention Grand Theft Auto. Grin

Anyway, I'm excited about this race in some way but we will see if we will have an exciting race here. I hope that the drivers would come here very ambitiously and we would watch a solid race. I feel like Verstappen will win another race here and Leclerc will finish right behind him but let's see. And I hope we can see some improvement from Mercedes drivers too.

There will be 3 DRS zones in this track, so, we probably won't see lack of overtakes like in Imola.

Gerhard Berger spoke yesterday and he said interesting things.

According to him:

Hamilton could retire after this season

Porsche has a deal done with Redbull for joining the F1

Yup exciting times ahead for Red Bull Racing but I think we'll have to wait for another 4 years tho when the engine freeze is lifted. Porsche bought 50% of RBR but I think Porsche has its hands tied and could do nothing for the team as of yet. Not sure up to what extent Porsche could help the team at a technical level.

And on the rumor about Hamilton's 'retirement' I think it could depend on Mercedes' car development. If they improve it as the season goes by, Hamilton might run with his contract til 2023. He could retire then but I'm hoping to see him back where it started... At McLaren.

I would also love to see him back at McLaren.Michael Schumacher in the end of his career he joined Mercedes a German team to give his expertise in developing the car and it was mostly because of him that Mercedes in the year 2014 and up had a winning car,Schumi invested a couple of years developing the car together with the technical team.Now with all the experience Hamilton has he could do the same as a bare minimum for McLaren but I would like to see him win another title with McLaren before he quits.

It was the engine rule change from the V8 aspirated engines to the V6 turbo that gave Mercedes the edge as the technical team had more advanced R&D with the V6 than the rest of the teams.

And there's a difference between Schumacher's switch to Mercedes and if Hamilton returned to McLaren. Hamilton was groomed by McLaren since his karting days so it's going to be like a homecoming. Schumacher went to Merc mostly because of Ross Brawn and had a good working relationship with him when they were at Benneton and Ferrari. I'm not sure so feel free to correct me but I think he was.

We are in another race week in F1 thankfully. We are going to watch the first ever Miami GP at the weekend. I must also add an information like I'm not satisfied with the track already now. But it is going to be easier to rethink about it when the first event starts. But it is obvious that this won't be one of the tracks that are beloved. I wonder who will be able to win this race. The favourites would be Leclerc and Verstappen again as usual. But it is still early to say that as F1 is always full of surprises. Grin

@swogerino I wouldn’t be surprised if Hamilton called it quits, because even if Mercedes do improve their car his confidence looks shattered, plus Max and Leclerc are only getting better with each and every race hence it makes sense for him to quit at the end of the season. Furthermore even if he continues I don’t expect him to win, and I believe that he’s already achieved his legacy, hence no one will mind if he decides to retire but I hope that he yet remains a part of F1 in some capacity.

Yes I know, although it's not so big a problem and cured, it's a bit disturbing his performance when recurrence while driving. What is the change? I don't know exactly because I don't focus on Honda, when the change made him too difficult to adjust, I think Honda must rebuild back from the past. It's a matter of who's driving, Maybe a significant change was made for speed but it can't handle it even faster.

For this year in general, Honda motorcycles have undergone more changes and everyone can also see that because in terms of the model alone between last year's Honda motorcycles and this year's Honda motorcycles are clearly very different, as well as the engine, chassis, and also some additional equipment. others, such as the Hole Shot device, which almost all teams on the MotoGP grid have used this year.
So this is the difference so that Marquez himself also has to adjust himself again to the bike in order to get the performance his team wants for this year.

While Marc, I still doubt this guy, we know his eye problem didn't fix yet, the possibility his rank is not far away from the last session and Miller is what Quartararo watch, he going to be more impressive than before which can make a problem for him.

Personally, I look more at the new Honda bike that Marc is using for this year where the difference is so significant that he seems to have a hard time riding it in every race.
Even though Marc had problems with his eyes, but when the doctor gave permission to race and declared Marc was fit, it meant he could be said to be cured.

This season's race is very interesting, even Quartararo, who is at the top of the 2022 MotoGP, is only 7 points away from Espargaro and that makes Espargaro's chances of shifting Quartararo even greater. Miller and Marc's competition in the race was amazing, both of them performed well even though they didn't make it into the top 3.

Alex Espargaro who is at the Aprilia factory in general will not be able to replace Fabio Quartararo even though the Yamaha engine power is the lowest in the current MotoGP Grid, because Fabio Quartararo is very consistent in the race so it can always be a very good lap time for him. Did you not see that Fabio Quartararo was able to stick to Bagnaia who was on Ducati in the front row even though he didn't win and the gap for third place was very far (10 seconds more) which could reflect that Alex Espargaro would not be able to stay in the front row during the Race takes place even though the distance of points in the current standings is very close for fellow riders.

Hamilton only lies until the end of this season, will it?
The pilot himself has already said that his career should not exceed his 40 years, but he is still 37, with 3 years left.
Besides he has a contract in place until the end of the 2023 season, why would he want to leave before then?
Hamilton was already quite disappointed last season, unless he has a really bad season in 2022, I don't think he will retire anytime soon.
To decide to retire, either he has to do very badly to want to disappear from the tracks, or else close the season with a flourish, to say goodbye like a champion.

A true Champion like him should not retire even if he has a very bad season this year which I doubt it as Mercedes promised massive upgrades in the second half of the Championship and also they promised to fight for winning races during such time,this should improve his mood a lot if it happens to be the truth.

Rather than Porsche basically it is VolksWagen joining F1 because it is their group which owns Porsche and many other great brands like Audi since a long time now.

Too early for Espargaro to defeat Quartararo even has 7 points left. I know both of them to have the same achievement with 1st winner and 3 podium, but I know what Quartararo did in 2021, he going to move fast after beginning. While Marc, I still doubt this guy, we know his eye problem didn't fix yet, the possibility his rank is not far away from the last session and Miller is what Quartararo watch, he going to be more impressive than before which can make a problem for him.
