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.

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.

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.

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.

Quote

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.

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. Cheesy

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.

If it is like driving in the autobahn then the most favorite driver or team to win in this track is Redbull as they had the top speed and also because of a massive upgrade they were doing well in turns too.I also hope Ferrari starts bringing improvements as this track one sure thing can provide is extreme enjoyment for the fans to watch.The fact that it is the first time we are racing here next Sunday means it will be an equal opportunity for all drivers.

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.
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.

Quote from: Bitinity on May 01, 2022, 02:27:53 AM

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.

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.
