It's nice to see Miller taking two in a row, and one of them was a dry race, lol.

~~Four~~ Three ducati riders are in the top four, this is a good record. Besides that yesterday was a very exciting race due to rain, the change of motorbikes was full of drama and penalties. I actually supported yamaha at Le Mans but the rain changed all.
In some racing periods I have seen Ducati win on wet tracks. They seem very used to the rain. This result make Miller as a winner broke several records, one of them even though he got two long lap penalties he was able to win.

I hated the days when Lorenzo or Marques were running away with the championship. It makes the latter half of the season kinda boring. This is turning out to be a great start in my opinion. I would love to see Yamaha and Ducati battle it out until Valencia.

No need to be observer, I'm as a motoGP lover can even say that Rossi's period was over since few years back.
He is not as competitive as when he was young, he should not force himself to continue his motoGP career if he feels that he is not competitive anymore.
He should have done it few years ago IMO when Marquez started the domination in MotoGP.

I hope Rossi hangs in there for the whole season, not that I think he'll be competitive but it's good to see him out there at his age. The dude is a legend, and has been a dominant force for two decades. It'll be a sad day when he does retire, the end of an era.

I hope he still on the track, because he is the real legend star.

Yes Rossi is an extraordinary phenomenon, and he deserves to be called a legend. Dorna still need him while he is
bring profit to the MotoGp industry. Reading in some local media, I think Rossi will still be in GP but as a team owner. The news I heard that the Rosi team will officially participate in the 2022 . We already know this news before the race this season. However, until now the VR46 Team itself has not decided what brand of motorbike will be used. Many rumors of yamaha, suzuki and most recently ducati.

Moreover, he is the racer who has won the most pole positions here. Can VR get on the podium in this series?

several observers said Rossi period was over. I don't want to take possibility in the next race he could still under the 5th stand list. he lose quickly with the young racers.

Rossi has been difficult to complete in the race. I just hear the news either in the next race after TT Circuit Assen in Holand he want to resign (after break summer).

Ducati is really very strong this year, so it wasn't to be expected for me. You can always count on Yamaha, but normally they get weaker than stronger over the year. I'm excited to see Yamaha's performance on the next tracks, the next tracks are more an advantage for Ducati due to the engine power and top speed.

The next series will take place in Italy. Although there are still 2 weeks to go, this will take place at the Mugello Circuit (Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello) with a length of 3,259 miles and a straight line of up to 1.1 miles. It seems very friendly for Ducati, KTM and Honda. But I think Yamaha is also the champion's favorite, especially since this is the home of VR 46. Moreover, he is the racer who has won the most pole positions here. Can VR get on the podium in this series?

It's been a bit longer since Yamaha won there, without Marc Honda would probably not have won either, for me the Ducatis are my favorites at Mugello.

Rossi is always good for a surprise, in the race he is still a racing roll, only he doesn’t feel comfortable on the bike at the moment. He looks at the last race better, I think he would also have a better position without the accident/contact.

Although the statistics are good in Itali. Looking at his performances this season, only another slightly good Spanish series has been a disappointment to Rossi. Even though we know he uses a motorbike from the manufacturer, not a satellite team motorbike.

Finally, if this news is true, Rossi has realized that his desire is not supported by physicality. Then has there been any news about the replacement? Or is it Lorenzo who is his replacement?

I there any sportsbook that offers a player not finishing a formula1 race , I'm pretty sure that Mazepin will not be finishing Monaco, he will find a way to spin and crash at any corner.
Charles Lecterc is a much better driver and didn't finish Monaco in any of his last 4 attempts not to mention that it is his country's race.

I guess term Shopping Day is invented by @coinlocket$ Cheesy

. Shortly, it's old tradition to held practice on Thursday instead of Friday in Monaco because originally there was holiday on Friday. You can read about it here:
https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sport/football/formula-1-monaco-grand-prix-practice-thursday-friday/
It's rest day for drivers, but I guess for them it's not big difference whether to practice on Thursday or Friday. Also, probably there be some action on Friday from support races.

It is not an invention.

I really thought it was shopping day given for the VIP exclusivity of the place.
At least this is what they said on Italian TV years ago but now that you tell me it's not true I think they have always trolled.

What is shopping day? I never heard of that before, I am not the greatest F1 in the world I have to say that, maybe this has been a thing for decades who knows, I never really realized it though. So drivers just go...shopping? Or better yet it is just a down time to relax and enjoy monaco basically, maybe they just train and sleep well and eat well to get ready.

However practice on Friday makes much more sense because when you have so many laps in one place on Friday, have qualifiers on Saturday, when it comes to Sunday everyone is quite ready and memorized everything, when you give a break I feel like that disturbs the flow of things, but hey if this is something they always do then I do not know, they decided on such a thing here so who am I to judge them for it, this is the freaking FIA we are talking about I am sure they know better than me Cheesy

lol.

A reminder for you all.

Gp of Monaco is special and in case you forgot it the free practice 1 and free practice 2 are back on Thursday as the tradition.
This is the only Gran Prix in the schedule where they did not race on Friday.

So

Thursday FP1 FP2
Friday Shopping Day
Saturday FP3 Qualify
Sunday Race

Prediction theater Sun.

A little bit rain at te track LeMans, who gos Mord risk and drive one lap longer with the slicks, flag to flag is open... Interesiting race at LeMans maybe also back to dry Tires? Many crashes coming and a good chance for many other drivers!

Rainy track is good for Marquez, he going fast after the circuit to be wet. But, unfortunately, he makes a mistake going crash and going out after make it twice.

Quote from: Luzin on May 16, 2021, 08:14:57 AM

For Quartararo I think he is a strong contender for world champion this season if he is able to appear stable.

he had lead several laps, but miller has taken it after. Quartararo stand position can still easy to defeat by Bagnaia. there is only 1 point left. he must take the podium in the next circuit in Italy.

About the wing rule, I agree that Toto could be basically de-facto boss of FIA at this point;

He is in charge of the best team and if he gets out and says something bad about FIA that would not be bad for Toto, it would be bad for FIA and that is why they are scared to upset him.

Remember 2018.
Mercedes introduces the holes in the tires since they got heat problems in the tires.

FIA managed to find it out and they said to Mercedes.

This is illegal is against the rules but you can keep it without any penalization.

I think that we should give a bit more time to Mazepin and Mick Schumacher as they are the rookies of F1 this season so we cannot judge them this fast.I agree though Mazepin has caused some incidents and in Monaco in the narrowest street circuit he can be responsible for a few safety cars.

Schumacher, yes. There is lot of hype around his name, but it's so difficult to show something with such bad car like Haas, but this kid have potential.
But Mazepin, he don't deserve his place in F1. He have no talent and he is there just because of fahter's money. He is only making danger for other drivers and he isn't improving at all - he is doing same things since F2 times.
Having rich sponsor isn't bad thing, it's almost impossible to get into F1 just with talent and without money. Take Stroll as example, father bought team for him literally, but he have some decent results and even several podiums. But I think it's unfair when decent drivers like Albon, Hulkenberg, Kvyat don't get seat in F1, while we have guys like Mazepin. Latifi can be mentioned too, but he is much better than Mazepin.

I think Toto Wolff could just complain straight to the FIA and get them to look at it.. Like how they usually do it.

It seems that today does not belong to Yamaha. The Ducati that I did not feature became the winner. Congratulations Miller and Zarco.

Vale is pretty good today he finished in 11th position, unfortunately Marquez failed to finish.

For Quartararo I think he is a strong contender for world champion this season if he is able to appear stable.
