The most attractive battle was for the 3rd position between Alex, Marc and Miller.
Marc tried really hard to overtake Miller since the first lap, it took so many laps before Marc did it but unfortunately he did a mistake and almost crashed.
Alex was lucky to take the opportunity of Marc's mistake and take the 3rd position.
This season is more interesting as any rider may win a race and compete with others, no rider is dominating too much so far.
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.

Miami is working so hard to build a Monaco like track that they literally posted fake water pictures for where the water will be. I do not think that it will be ready any time soon, but in the future Miami may have something that is basically Monaco 2.0 and nothing else. Maybe it will be better I do not know, I always disliked Monaco because barring some unexpected stuff, 99% of the time the race ends with how it starts and nothing else happens.
So, if Miami is trying to be like them, at least have some spaces for people to pass each other, if not then they picked the worst track to copy if you ask me, Baku is a street track as well but you can pass each other there, should have picked that if they wanted street track.

Good race from Bagnaia and also from Fabio, the two have driven home the first and second place sovereign. Think Fabio thought rather the 20 points than risk everything and no points. Or has the Yamaha not given more to attack Bagnaia?
Also, Alex has again driven out on the Aprilia a podium, now the special status for the development of Aprilia should also have expired?

In fact this season Yamaha has provided a very good package for Fabio even though in terms of engine power it is still far behind Ducati, so Fabio has difficulty in making sudden attacks for Ducati because Yamaha does not have the same power as Ducati.
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.

And for the Aprilia factory I think it's very clear that the concession period has also ended because the Aprilia rider (Alex) has got another podium today.
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. May 01, 2022, 12:23:54 PM

We are only a week away from the next Grand Prix in F1. It is going to be the first ever race in Miami GP and I'm quite curious about what will happen. It would be meaningful for a driver to win the first race here as it is going to be the first in the history of this place. But I must admit one thing too that I don't like the track at all. It is like there is almost no turn on this track. It is like driving on autobahn. 
This might decrease the joy of watching this race but hopefully I turn out to be wrong after the race. My favourite driver to win this GP is Leclerc by the way. He would make up for his big mistake in the previous race.

I remembered Jack miller (his partner Ducati) on starting grip 2021, he was in 2nd grip place and the result was Bagnaia as the champions. but if we compare Bagnaia and Quartararo, you will have surprised, Quartarao starting in 13th position grip in 2021 and able to be runner up. So in 2022, He was on 2nd grip, when calculating it on paper, Quartararo is better performance and I believe he will stand in 1st if don't have a problem with tire.
Please note that I discussed the Race predictions specifically for the Jerez circuit and if you look in the mirror last year (2021) where Jack Miller won the race at that time because Quartararo had problems with his arm pump so he had to be willing to finish in 13th place.And for this year I see Bagnaia and Quartararo both have potential in terms of keeping the rhythm of the race very well so it's only natural that they are both at the forefront of the grid until the end of the race.

Bagnaia is only doing well in qualifying, we don't know if during the Race he will be able to maintain his good form.
Quartararo is also in good form, chances are we will see an interesting duel from Quartararo as well as Bagnaia.
Both of them were consistent in the race because they were able to maintain the Race Pace very well so that Quartararo and Bagnaia were always closer in front and both were unstoppable by the others so they were able to make a big gap of about 10 seconds more for third place.Quartararo is also in good form, chances are we will see an interesting duel from Quartararo as well as Bagnaia.
So in general Quartararo has strengthened himself at the top of the temporary standings.

Very good start from Bagnaia and Fabio, Miller also got away well from the start. Will be an exciting race, wait and see if Fabio can build pressure on Bagnaia and Ducati.
Jorge Martin and Stefan Bradl have unfortunately already fallen.

A dream lap yesterday of Bagnaia, I hope he has found his form and now also understands the Ducati 2022 better, Bagnaia was and is my world championship favorite this season. But he had a difficult start to the season and has remained behind expectations, last season he is only strong at the end, maybe it goes earlier this year with the top form?
Hopefully Bagnaia's best performance will not stop after Jerez because there are still many races to take place this season even though 5 races have been completed this season with Bagnaia not being in the position desired by his own team.But this time Bagnaia will be fighting for victory so the race will look fierce today.
I think we will watch so tough race today, first 5 riders are so competitive. It is hard to predict who will win the race but the first 5 riders has equal chance. Tires selection and machine of bike will be the keys for riders to win. I'm not sure about the weather, but hopefully the weather will be OK so we can enjoy the race.
The weather will be good and the race will definitely be exciting, especially since there is Fabio Quartararo in the front row so he will also be fighting for the Back to Back win after winning in Portugal last week, so I'm sure this race will look fierce from the start.Quartararo is also in good form, chances are we will see an interesting duel from Quartararo as well as Bagnaia.

What a great day for Francesco Bagnaia where he was able to make pole position as well as break the lap record of Maverick Vinales which was set in 2020 with a time of 1'36.584 seconds at the Jerez circuit when he was still with the factory Yamaha.
But Francesco Bagnaia did something really extraordinary today with the factory Ducati by scoring a best time of 1'36,170 seconds while placing him as pole position for Sunday's Race.
Who do you think will be the champion in Sunday's race at the Jerez circuit? Francesco Bagnaia or Fabio Quartararo ?

We have a new rule, it will start in 2023 for F1.
I mean they are already doing it but whatever.
FROM 2023 drivers must all the compounds in the qualify, in 2 GPs.
I don't know what is the reason but whatever.
It will be the following.
Q1 HARD TIRES
Q2 MEDIUM TIRES
Q3 SOFT TIRES
Maybe it is only an entertaining thing, to get bigger gaps for casual spectators and don't have the risk of having a Q2 faster than a Q3.
It will be valid for all the GPs from 2024.
