Unfortunatelly BTC Bitcoin car didn't get the winner on Indy 500 race car Indianapolis.

I thought where do they get their Bitcoin sponsorship? I think this is absolute from the individual.

Yes, of course, Team owner Ed Carpenter has invested in Bitcoin. He gave an idea to build cryptocurrency to be a sponsorship Indy race in the future. When you see the detail, Veekay car using Chevrolet which No. 21. Yes, 21 is identical with bitcoin limited supply 21 M. fortunately, it is no forbidden to put the bitcoin logo in the car because isn't a trademark. Maybe next time we can see a lot of cryptocurrencies to be sponsorship Indy 500 car, football club, motoGP, F1 and etc in the future.

Mercedes will definitely be stronger than in Monaco last weekend, no race in Azerbaijan 2020, but in 2019 the result was clear and the course will definitely benefit the design of Mercedes.

Toto released an interview these days saying Mercedes will be not the stronger car there too, and I think it is true.

Mercedes are very strong in very fast tracks.
Ferrari is very strong in slow tracks.

Redbull is the most competitive everywhere and Baku is a mix with high speed and slow turn, they should be dominating the game.

Verstappen thinks that Mercedes will come back to Azerbaijan much stronger than they were in the Monaco GP. He has been really unlucky on this track and he seems determined to change this and be on the podium.

I also think that Mercedes (especially Hamilton) will have really good results here.

This is not really surprising because Monaco must always be considered as a race out of the line compared to the other tracks. In Baku there are very slow corners but also a extremely long straight where the full power of the mercedes engine can shine again. If nothing extraordinary happens or other teams had some huge upgrades in the last 2 weeks than mercedes should be the strongest team here again just like on almost every other track except for monaco. I really hope that the other teams are not as far behind as i fear because that would be an indicator that the rest of the season will not be very exciting.

I am amazed by this. I just saw this. I thought where do they get their Bitcoin sponsorship? I think this is absolute from the individual.

This photo initially made me doubt whether this was an edit or not. But the source you have listed is actually valid. Hopefully there will be a positive impact on Bitcoin. The more bitcoin images seen then this will add new users for bitcoin.

Very nice for Miller, the Ducati contract was extended early and I think he really deserved it.

Looking at the results of last season's races and the start of this season, I think he deserves a new contract extension. Miller has been with ducati since 2018. If we look at the current Ducati riders, they have felt the podium. This means that both the satellite team and the manufacturer have felt on the podium in five races this season.

This is a good achievement for ducati, but this season is still long. I think they have to remain stable if they want to become factory champions and GP champions.

The next rider to extend early in the MotoGP as with Miller, I am also happy for Binder that he is extending it until 2024. It's a good arrangement for KTM too, KTM is making a dood development every year, even if they have probably fallen back a little, but the switching from Espargaró to Honda was probably not the right step for him?

Binder renews KTM deal until 2024

VeeKay and Conor Daly as ed carpenter teams 72 laps only leading the race but the machine car has the problem. the car must keep saving on gasoline. because that VeeKay only gets on p8 until the finish. however, whatever the result, bitcoin has been seeing by 135K people, it should be pump soon

A good race by Rossi that's right, I hope he has more confidence now and I hope he has some good races again. But Vinales is out of shape and is in the shadow of his team-mate.

Glad to see Rosi in the top 10. Yamaha should be proud of this old racer. But Rossi's time is up he deserves to retire this season as a racer.
Congratulations to Quartararo, I want you to win this season.
Your current threat is the Ducati riders. This season they have been doing great. See position 2-4 all are Ducati riders.

That's correct the best time from Rossi is over, with his mistake after years he miss his 10th world champion title. But he's still a racer and does his best, I still trust him to finish on the 200th podium. He says himself without results it's no fun, except for Fabio, Yamaha isn't that strong this year either, especially Vinales is under pressure.

I'm looking forward to it, I hate Monaco and I'm glad it's done and out of the way for another year. I don't think we should even call Monaco a race, when it's simply a procession.
Yes Baku is another street track, but it's an improvement on the last one

It will be interesting to see how Hamilton and Mercedes react after the disaster last time out... I assume there will be a big improvement.

The race itself is definitely boring I am not going to argue with that but "what is going to happen" is like 50% of the grand prix weekends. Of course you are not going to see anything that would be shocking to see, it is a boring track and has always been, but did you expected Lerclerc to finish in pole position? Did you expected him to crash that caused everyone else to stop? Did you expected him to not even be in the race after getting the pole position? Did you expected Hamilton to end at 7th place? That's probably something we haven't seen in a looooong time.

So long story short the race itself while watching was boring and nothing happened, but even the memes about stroll cut is all great. Which is why I think every race is a great race, not because they are great while the race is going on, but because all the drama around it and how fun it makes things in the long term.

Also saddened Jason Dupasquier has passed away from God. Hopefully he will become a Moto 3 legend. Hopefully this will be a lesson about the regulations and the driver's safety system. I didn't even see the water bag appear when I fell. I've read that the clothes on the riders have been made that way, for safety. Or is it not that in Moto 3? It's so sad.

To the others, congratulations to Quartararo you are a racer who is able to get on the 1st podium for the third time (if I'm not mistaken)

Honda doesn't hope so much for this year, what the best for 11th stand position (Pol Espargaró). this year is time for Ducati and Yamaha team.

the tragedy of Jason Dupasquier that make the MotoGP racer depressed such as Bagnaia, he thinks MotoGP should be canceled for this time because of Jason's accident. And Unfortunately, he crashes, maybe he still worries about it.

Honda won't win much this year either, I think Marc is still out of shape and not painless. The bike has only been developed for Marc over the last few years and now the other riders are not getting along so well. It is always tragic when a racing driver dies, but unfortunately that is possible and this sport are dangerous. For Bagnaia, I feel sorry for the crash, because he could certainly have made it onto the podium.

MotoGP has sad news, the young racer Jason Dupasquier passes away, he got an accident in the Moto3 Qualifying 2 session at the Gran Premio Italy.
https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2021/05/30/jason-dupasquier-passes-away/375889

Wow, so tragic. RIP, young man.

Unfortunately the danger is always there, it's inherent in motorcycle racing. FIM has done a wonderful job improving rider safety in the last three decades, so thankfully these stories are fewer and farther in between than when I was a kid. Track designs and safety improvements can only do so much, however. Marco Simoncelli's accident comes to mind as one incident that just can't be planned for, what a tragedy that was.

Quote from: Luzin on May 30, 2021, 02:28:07 AM

Hasn't Honda found the best engine suit for Marquez?

Lol, a few years ago Dani Pedrosa was complaining that Honda's engineers had only ONE rider in mind when designing their bikes. Wanna guess who that rider was? Hint: it wasn't Pedrosa, lol. Marques will be fine eventually. He's recovering from a bad accident last season, and still has some pain in his shoulder. This will give the mere humans on track a chance to win some races before he fully recovers.

I don't get to see the race until CBS broadcasts tonight at 5pm local time. What a joke. Anyway, I see Rossi finished at 10 after starting at 19^th. Good job VR46!

This is some really sad news to hear.Of course the races maybe cancelled but the real problem is the safety of the MotoGP riders.In F1 after the death of Senna they took safety of the drivers really seriously and only Bianchi has died afterwards because of a really bad crash and bad luck while in MotoGP races more riders have died.I think FIM should start and take riders safety even more seriously than they already have.RIP Dupasquier.

But there is not much what they can do more to improve safety. They introduced things like airbags and I have no idea how they can improve it more. And in accidents like this, none of safety things would had protected him from serious injuries.
Motosport always will be more dangerous than autosport. And even if F1, fatal accidents still happens - Jules Bianchi or Anthoine Hubert in F2.

He was driver of Moto 3 and got an accident yesterday, not sure if all the races Today at Mugello will be done after this news.

Something bad happened that showed the dangerous side of motorsport. A 19-year-old young boy died on the qualifying tours of the motorcycle race. I am so sorry since I read this news.

Very sad news with the die Cry
