Pole position for Max Verstappen.
Second, place for Seb Vettel.
Third position Hamilton.

Fourth LeClerc but he will have 10 position penalty for the change of the engine and he will start from 14th.

Big news?? Hamilton without position for 9 GPs.

Even with the penalty Leclerc is going to reach the top 5 I think.
He has bigger advantage over other cars on the track so he is going to climb the ladder fast even in the first turns we are going to see him in the top 10.

Spanish motorcyclist and former world champion Jorge Lorenzo announced at 3pm in Valencia that he would end his career in the MotoGP Championship. The conference will feature boss Dorne Carmelo Espeleta as well as all Spanish drivers in the championship.

I am very sad about his withdrawal, i am emotionally devastated. We are similar years, and whenever I imagine myself in motogp, I see it in Lorenzo, I have watched it for many years, him and Rosie, although Rosie is much older, this destroyed me, I hope he has a good time in the rest of his life, he deserves it is.

Gone is the legend Cry Cry Cry Cry

Your opinion guys...  Fastest lap for Brazil, Leclerc or Hamilton?  And how's the weather forecast?  Rain could mean Verstappen.  Grin

I think Redbull decision was the best regarding Albon and in fact he topped the Fp1 qualifying practice before hitting the walls in this practice.I think he has got great potential and together with Max they are a great duo for Redbull.

I think is too early for Ferrari to part ways with a 4 time World Champion.He can win,he just needs a better car and a bit of more focus on the race.

When I season started I had a lot of faith for Gasly.
But when the two drivers changed positions, Albon has perform by far better than Gasly. Too sad for the French driver as he maybe lost his best opportunity to be a driver in a bigger team.

There will be some interesting things in this race because not all questions is already answered, like we don't know who will end season 3rd.


@LTU_btc I won’t watch the full race because Hamilton has already been crowned as the champion, and as for the third spot is concerned I feel Leclerc will occupy the third spot. In my opinion Ferrari should part ways with Vettle now as he’s disappointed this entire season, and has failed to finish in top 3 too what do you’ll think about this?.

It sucks that Brazil GP isn't last race of season, because there was so many amazing historical races. But season will end in boring Abu Dhabi :/

Few days ago Red Bull announced that Alex Albon will stay in team for upcoming season. Well, it was logical decision and I can't imagine something different.

Now it is official.
Lorenzo will retire after the Valencia GP.

The next question it will be...

Who will take his spot with Marc Marquez at Honda?
Does Honda will take is brother? It could be the best thing to do.

Alex Marques is the GP2 Champion and he will have a good mentor  Grin

Today can be a big day for the MOTOGP.
Jorge Lorenzo called a press call for Today.

He will probably announce his retirement from MOTOGP!

The press call will be at 15.00 CET.

One of the greatest riders of MotoGp and one of the funniest in my opinion.He used to place a flag called Lorenzo’s land in every track where he won and that was something very funny to do.It also means a lot in meaning besides being a lot of fun.I know though that Lorenzo since the death of Simoncelli is not the same,he was really shocked during that time so I can understand his retirement although I don’t like it.

Now that I read this that Lorenzo is going to retire I feel very old.
I still remember the day when he made his debut and watching this race on TV.
Time flies so fast and we are so lucky to see drivers like Jorge Lorenzo racing.

So, Lewis is World Champion officially for the 6th time in total and 3rd time in a row. Congrats for him, but it's getting boring, I hope to see someone giving him better competition, maybe not next year, but in 2021...
Bottas won the race in style and also because Lewis 1 pit strategy didn't worked and he had to change tyres again.
Alex Albon - another great performance, from P20 after start accident to P5, I think it's obvious who will be 2nd Red Bull driver next year.
And Kvyat - this lad got time penalty on last lap second race in a row. But I don't what exactly did happened, because it wasn't shown on TV...

@LTU_btc when the season started we all were wishing here that a new champion should be crowned, but it seems fate had different ideas and Hamilton is once again the champion. Now I’m sincerely hoping in the next season we see a new champion crowned, otherwise F1 will completely loose it’s charm.

Hamilton has now the chance to become the first F1 driver to become World Champion more than 7 times which is Schumacher.He needs to win to other Championships and this does not look difficult to achieve.Mercedes showed superiority in almost every aspect of the car during the Championship and I doubt this is about to change soon.

Also finally a good race from Verstappen. Now he had a good start and too bad for him there were the yellow flags in the end, otherwise you maybe good even try to attack Hamilton in the last rounds.

Boring race with almost no overtakes.

Disaster race for Ferrari, very bad start with problems for Vettel and no grip with the 1st set ot tires on LeCreck.

"hail to the king"

Hamilton can aim now the Schumacher record.

Verstappen was the fastest on practice 1, they are also trying the new tires 2020 on these 2 rounds so I don't know how much we need to look at times.

The tires are using now has the new compounds for the new season.

The 2021 F1 car is  revealed and it seems amazing!
Can't wait to see it racing on the tracks. It seems very aerodynamic and it is possible a lot of faster than the one that it races today.

New f1 car looks amazing on images and it's different a lot complaining with current cars. In these visualisations everything looks so nice, but we have to see how everything will work in reality. And it's still lot of time left to see it, 2019 season didn't even finished it and there is whole 2020 season before it.

Indeed but it is just the hype of the announcement.
The 2021 car seems to be more eco friendly combined with strong engine power and speed. The perfect combination in order to make the sport more competitive.
