Horrible crash at the Moto2 race...

The most important thing is there is no serious injury. It looks luckily at the moment. The race is at a restart.
Damn, this is so scary. At least he isn't injured seriously.https://youtu.be/PMHdRuojP_8

And on MotoGP another big crash happened moments ago, Johan Zarko and Franko Morbidelli involved. Flying bike almost hit Rossi. Seems that nobody isn't injured seriously.

Hamilton managed to get the pole in the Spanish GP.
Once again both Mercedes are going to start the race from the first row and Max is going to follow them.
Will he be able to get the win from them as in the previous game?

Let's hope Verstappen will win again. It will make the championship a lot more exciting.
I think this is a very beautiful track in F1 and is not the same as the last one where Verstappen won.In here the tyres should suffer less and if Hamilton manages to pull out first from the first corner this race is gonna be truly boring.It will be very difficult for Verstappen to win today.

From 1st part of the qualification from the last part, Mercedes got an increase of about 2 seconds with the push of their engine, while others teams got a lot less.
Will be fun to see in the next GP if they will have the same advantage, probably not.
This will be an interesting GP only if Mercedes will have problems with tyres due to the high temperatures.

I didn't get the chance to see the quail but after watching the results and times I got to this conclusion.
If a train in Japan is behind the schedule for the amount of time how much Ferrari is behind Mercedes, driver of the train commits suicide
Jokes aside, nothing new, but as you said this race will most likely be really chaotic and fun to watch, midfield is extremley tightly packed and Verstappen could do some damage again.

Formula1 at this year only have one side, and maybe next the next years only boring so guys look MotoGp. Many teams (factories) have a Chance to win. This Qualifying are exiting, Yamaha is stronger than all think so look at tomorrow.
Sorry for P. Espagaro and Rossi at the Quali but at FP4 the two have the fastet racing speed for sunday!

I also read a article about the Party modus and Mercedes with the strongest engine about 1000HP... and surprise surprise Ferrari with the weakest engine.
But only a article in German i found?!
https://www.motorsport-total.com/formel-1/news/mercedes-knackt-1000-ps-honda-nur-noch-mit-28-ps-rueckstand-20081307
Good for RedBull, Honda with the second strongest engine.
They are talking a lot about it here on Sky.it they were speaking with a theoretical decrease in time around 0.5-0.7 secs for a lap in qualify for Mercedes engines.
Is not clear on why they are pushing it so fast,
Have they discovered something in the Mercedes' engines?
Are they going only to nerf Mercedes cause they are too strong? (I don't think they can ever do a thing like this)
Engines will can use only one mapping because was too hard for FIA to check if anyone was cheating?
Every years the same when one team have a stronger engine than the other, last year the same Ferrari used a grey zone and the other Teams make protest...
This week MotoGP is back in Austria, the long straight is the favorite of Honda, Ducati and I think KTM, because they have more power on the straight track. In history, Dovi and Marquez are in first place and second place for thirdplace is Quartararo. Seeing Honda's opportunities without Marquez, Yamaha is weak on the straight. Can they get to the podium again?
KTM have a advantage, KTM test very at the Austrian race tracks the same as Brno. I am also counting on ducati, but yamaha will also fight for the podium, maybe not for the win but definitely for the podium.

It is only natural for Hamilton to break records as long as he races every race and he is driving for the best team of the moment.I think he will continue to break his own records and I think it will be very difficult for any other driver to break such records in the future.
August 14, 2020, 12:39:44 AM
I don't get all the hate towards Lewis Hamilton, dude is a rock solid driver and I know that he is on a team that is miles better than any other team right now but that doesn't change the fact that dude deserves to be on that team, if you are a great team you will want the greatest racer, who would want to get the last racer of the league and put it on the best team? Lewis is doing awesome because dude is actually awesome, not just because Mercedes is awesome. Sure if he switched teams and raced for another team there is a big chance he may not be the leader, but give ALL the racers mercedes cars and I bet he still ends up at the top as well, he is definitely the best one we have right now, I don't know his general place but could we just agree that he is great and focus a bit more on the betting side of the things? 
That is basically what people usually say in other sports as well, if you are a player that is on a great team and you win championships and you score or whatever you basically seen as a player who is just in a lucky situation, sure that doesn't take away from the talent, even here nobody could say that Lewis Hamiltan is a bad racer, you have to be a crazy person to say that, he is great, he is probably the best racer right now as well, however it does make sense that people argue if he is among the greats of racing, that is a totally different thing and I could totally see him up there or not up there at the same time, that is a small thing but a huge thing in discussion. Being the best right now doesn't equal to being in the top 5 for example, but I would totally put him on my top 10 without a doubt.
Well said indeed.Nobody is disputing that he is great nor that he is among the greatest, what we were questioning and stating prior was that he is not on the same level as Senna, Schumi or Lauda...
He certainly goes on the list of greatest drivers, is it top 10, top 15, top 20 is another question and to be honest if you start digging through past and watching old races finding the answer gets harder and harder
From the top of my head I would say he would fit on my top 15 list, but not sure if he would squeze in on top 10 list.
@CryptoViking I’m really surprised to read that you don’t consider Hamilton in top 10 racers of all time, because for me he fits in the list of top 5 racers who have raced in the F1. Also if you’ll have forgotten then let me remind you that, it was Schumacher himself who had declared in 2008 that Hamilton will be the one to break his records. Lastly each one of us is entitled to our personal opinions, but I feel that you’re wrong to say that Hamilton won’t feature in top 10 F1 drivers list, because in my personal opinion he’s rightfully earned his spot to be featured in the top 10 F1 drivers list.

I don't see why you are so surprised. I said it is my personal opinion and I did not say that he wouldn't make it on my top 10 list 100%, just that competition is hard and that there are better drivers then him. He would not make it on my top 5 for sure, that I can say with 100% certainty.
And if you read the article properly Schumi stated that records are there to be broken in general and that Hamilton could break his records, not that he thinks Hamilton will surely breaks his records, thus insinuating his overwhelming talent as a driver
But I will disregard this, because I would not think differently even if Schumi stated that Hamilton is the best driver in the world. I would respect it though, same as I do respect Hamilton, I just don't rate him that high as some do.It is normal that Hamilton broke his records with this kind of Mercedes dominance, with more races in a season and on and on. Maybe he would have beaten Schumi records even if there was less races like before and less points like before, but we won't know that. I don't even think that it matters that much when we are talking about drivers and their skills.
There were drivers whose skill was obvious and were nowhere near beating records, but they are still considered as greats.

Some news:
Redbull maybe will join Ferrari/Renault actions against Racing Point/Mercedes
The boost mode for the engine will probably be removed for everyone in qualify from Belgium Gp, was planned for 2021

Is it only McLaren and Williams that are staying quiet in this matter.I don’t understand all the protests against Racing Point as that would not change the outcome of this year Champion or winning car.It is still going to be Mercedes with or without the boost.Let’s see what happens in Belgium Gp which is the most beautiful track of F1.
