New season finally starts tomorrow.Guys, do you feel gossebumps already? I haven't been so hyped for a long time.

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.

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.

Incredible. Russel 5th, (12.00). The guy who was "always the last" over the years now has the chance to (regularly) fight for the podium. It was enough to change the car...

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.

@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)

Fabio: "I feel good and ready to start racing in Mandalika again. We did a good job here during the winter tests. We got a lot of work done and finished a lot of laps, so we'll make good use of it"

"I don't want to think about what happened in Qatar, also because I know that we have a good starting point for this weekend. I will focus 100% on getting a good result. Our pace was good here during the tests, but we have a lot of rivals. fast, so every detail and every second counts"

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.

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.

So what about the new track in Indonesia this time, guys? Is Marc Marquez able to finish in front as the first because considering the test last month was also won by Marc Marquez's team mate, Pol Espargaro. Huh

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.

In terms of winning chances, you must always look at a motorbike with great power, but in this case I will also look at each rider with different potential because when a motorbike with high power is ridden by a rider who does not have more potential, then he will also not be able to win.

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.

Maybe this Mandalika series will be the first time I see a Moto GP race done during the day, with a time difference of 2 hours in my province. Although I won't see it in person, I'm looking forward to this moment. Of course I will feel proud, maybe this is the first time I know MotoGP is done in my country, although if I read there was once a MotoGP event in Indonesia.

The MotoGP event had indeed existed in Indonesia during Doohan's time at the Sentul circuit in 1996 and 1997 where Doohan had won the race there and at that time Valentino Rossi himself was still in the 125cc class (if he now calls it Moto3). So Mandalika this time will be a new series for Indonesia in the world Grand Prix event.

Quote

The chances of a race result are probably me to remain favourites for the bike with great power. The results of the trial conducted by Pol Espargaro became the fastest rider in quartararo. But maybe for the main series it will be very different because the speed of each lap does not necessarily determine the outcome of the race.

In terms of winning chances, you must always look at a motorbike with great power, but in this case I will also look at each rider with different potential because when a motorbike with high power is ridden by a rider who does not have more potential, then he will also not be able to win.
