Redbull deserved the victory today, too many mistakes by Ferrari.
But I don't understand who likes this track, I hate it.
It is almost impossible for overtaking, look at Hamilton with Gasly.
I hope Imola will never go on the calendar again.

It looks like the massive upgrade promised by Rebdull seems to have worked during the race of today.While many Ferrari fans will be disappointed let me tell that it was only because of individual drivers errors and not the car,Ferrari was still great as a car although in this track Redbull excelled and was a perfect race from them.For the Championship this was good in the sense that it closed quite a lot of gap and the next race is going to be the new track after two weeks in Miami,which promises even more spectacle to watch.
This race today was not as spectacular as the other ones of this season so far but still nice to watch. Sainz was unlucky again and this time it was clearly not is fault that he had to quit the race after only a few seconds. He really needs to make a good position next race or he will be the clear number 2 driver already for the rest of the season. Verstappen had a very dominant race today and was never in danger of being attacked by another driver. The performance of Mercedes was pretty poor again today but i somehow still believe that they will present an amazing update to the car in the next weeks and that they can still fight for the championship. We will see.

Bad day for Ferrari at home. Red Bull did the double. Verstappen didn't have any problem finishing first, Perez was second and Norris got third position after Leclerc's dramatic spin. Sainz was out in first lap, what a disappointment. Red Bull is trying to catch Ferrari and this 1-2 finish was a great result for them. Mercedes looks pretty weak, even CEO said sorry in radio to Hamilton after the race. I wonder how they will fix issues for next races.
these two red bull racers (verstappen and perez) completely dominated the race from the start, while ferrari (leclerc) had to settle for finishing in 6th position. GRAND PRIX EMILIA this time belongs to the red bull team.

Perfect weekend vor Red Bull and Verstappen. Max got everything what is possible - pole, sprint race win, race win and fastest lap. Solid race for Perez too.
Bad home race for Ferrari. Sainz out, poor start for Leclerc, spin later which cost podium and more places.
Max aren't able to overtake Gasly for so long and it was fight just for 12th place. On the other hand, P4 for Russel isn't bad result.
In general, a bit disappointed that predicted rain didn't come, there wasn't much action when track got dry. But Leclerc mistake made race interesting again.

Congratulations to Fabio Quartararo for winning the MotoGP Portugal 2022 on the Algarve circuit. I'm a little surprised by what the commentators say that this is Quartararo's first win of 2022
Of course the awaited victory after the start of the season which was quite difficult for Quartararo. Actually I'm not surprised because the character of this circuit is very supportive of Yamana. Today they took advantage of that and Quartararo proved he can still use a bike with a power that is considered low in the Moto GP class.
I was just surprised that he was able to move up from starting at number five and ending as number one. Even quartararo was able to have quite a long gap after being ranked one.

Congratulations to Fabio Quartararo for winning the MotoGP Portugal 2022 on the Algarve circuit.
A boring race with less overtaking among riders, Quartararo won the race almost without any pressure from other riders.
The most attractive action was on the battle for 2nd position between J. Mir, Zarco, Aleix Esp, and Jack Miller which is won by Zarco.
Poor Miller to be too aggressive while trying to overtake Mir but unfortunately he crashed down and made Mir crashed too.
Unlucky for Enea Bastianini who was also crashed that make him failed to get additional points.

The track is wet at the moment but is not raining.
They will probably start with intermediate and they will go with slick.

Very strong performance from RedBull, was a strong response from RedBull against Ferrari. Once wait and see if it will be the same tomorrow in the long race. The race is long Ferrari and Red Bull are fast, but can the RedBull also make it to the end of the race and if so the pace and engine hold?
Keep also in mind that was the Red compound.
What will happen if they go with harder tires? Probably Ferrari will have not the problem they got today and they will stronger, we will se tomorrow.
Right now is raining.
Of course there was a bit of luck involved, but that's also part of it, see the season finale last season. But you have to take advantage of situations like that, and RedBull usually does that well because they feel like they're risking more than other teams.
RedBull and Ferrari very I on par this year only Ferrari has a little more reserves and the most reliable car, think RedBull has already caught up a bit.

ROSSI EFFECT 👍
Valentino Rossi was seen present at the Algarve Circuit, Portugal. The presence of Rossi then made two racers for the Mooney VR46 team, namely Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini, immediately motivated to achieve good results in the MotoGP Portugal 2022 qualifying session.
Bezzecchi, who ranks sixth, said he was very happy. The 23-year-old racer revealed that the presence of Rossi's figure in the Mooney VR46 garage made him even more motivated. He is also quite sure that his team can appear competitive in any conditions.
“I am very happy with the qualifying result and have a good feeling in the wet and mixed conditions. That's one of my characteristics of the lower class."

This week showed us that Mclaren may have figured some stuff out, there is no guarantee and they are still not out of the gate yet, but it shows that they are not as horrible as they used to be and they were like out of top 10 for the first two games nearly, just got lucky here and there with DNF of other cars.
So, I am guessing that if Mclaren managed to figure out a way, then it must be close for Mercedes to figure that out as well, after all they are using the same engines if I am not wrong and if one team fixes it, then other could as well even williams may end up figuring it out eventually. That will make the season very entertaining to watch.

I have seen that the rain probability is given around 50 percent after the race starts. It would be really interesting to watch this race under rain. It might not be that fun considering the qualifying session. Drivers were having a really hard time staying on track. But under normal conditions, I think that Leclerc would overtake Verstappen and win the race too. The sprint race shouldn't be misleading. Leclerc is still faster than Verstappen.

I could not watch the sprint race live today but from the stuff that i have seen now in the clips that are available it looks like Red Bull has the stronger car this weekend. That Leclerc was on the first place for the most part of the race was the fault of Verstappen on the start and had nothing to do with the car. Closer to the end of the sprint race it became obvious that Red Bull was able to manage their tires better and 2 laps before the end Leclerc had no more chance to hold Verstappen behind him. If the race would have been a few laps longer then i think that Perez would have been able to overtake Leclerc too. This definitely indicates that Red Bull is stronger this weekend. Now of course the car also needs to be able to finish a whole race without breaking.

It was good to see some action in the sprint race. Leclerc started very nicely and took the lead but he couldn't maintain it until the end against Verstappen. But if he didn't have any problems with his tires, then I was pretty sure that he would secure the pole position. But in the big race tomorrow, I'm confident about one thing that Leclerc will manage to win this race. He is still faster than Verstappen now and this wouldn't change here too unless there is a big surprise. But I hope that it doesn't become a boring race at the same time.

Leclerc got problems with his tires an he was unable to fight with Max in the final part of the race.
Good recovery for Sainz.
For tomorrow is not clear which wheater they will face.

Ferrari did show that they could be fast on the wet track so I'm not really worried about that if I was betting on Leclerc. He has the pace, he has the car and they're faster than Red Bull overall in all three tire compounds. I don't know why the books have Verstappen at 1.76. Lol. That's a lot of money moving the line that low. My favorite bet which I'll prolly do if I win one of me UFC tickets would be the grid position of winner market. Leclerc at 2.60 looks good imho.

It's a shame that @marcmarquez93 and @fabioquartararo20's lap times were canceled because they were both Yellow Flags. Yes, even if it's not Yellow Flag, Marc is still not pole, because his lap time (1:42,295) is still at P4 but at least the starting position is a little better #PortugueseGP #source: gpindonesia.id
Will Marquez make a tougher match in this race ? because he will start the race in 9th position so there are 8 riders that he must overtake in front of him tomorrow.
