some news

South Korea and Thailand have announced that they will apply to the FIA ​​to have a grand prix in their countries. An emissary will go to analyze the projects and decide on any candidature.
It seems that South Korea and Thailand see the potential of F1 to bring tourists to their countries and how hosting this sport in their countries can increase the prestige of tourism in their countries. I feel that South Korea could be the strongest candidate to hold an F1 race, because they have the money and infrastructure that is more supportive of holding an F1 race.
I remembered that my country is also building a circuit which is planned to host F1 in 2026, but I don't know whether it will pass the FIA ​​selection or not because this circuit is close to Singapore which also hosts F1.

I feel like those are nations that are growing more and more and more in tourism, both didn't even have a place in tourism maybe 30 years ago or so, now when you look at it, we all feel like they are amazing places to visit and would love to see them.

When you think about that, adding f1 to their country could mean at least tens of thousands of people, imagine getting 40-50 thousand more people there, and that is just at that moment, after that we are talking about both marketing with these people and also all the people who went there and came back telling how beautiful those places are, meaning even the race is over, other people will come because of it as well. So these are all important factors, spending a few million dollars on this could be an amazing deal for everyone.

Today's Jerez MotoGP Sprint Race was really quite dramatic with a group crash at Turn 5 for several riders in the front row at the same time. And it is not yet known what the cause is, so those on the podium today are really unexpected riders like Quartararo who started the Sprint from grid 23 but was able to finish in the top three. Likewise, Marquez, who started the Sprint on the first grid, had to swallow the bitterness of a crash while leading the race, this was completely unexpected. Because there are many riders who experience crashes on the last lap like what happened to Zarco at the last corner even though he had time to re-enter to finish the race to the finish line.

Marquez did the same mistake as what he did in Amerika 2 weeks ago, crashed when he was leading but lucky him today that he could finish.
Hope he wont do it again tomorow in the main race as I want to watch great competition between Jorge Martin, Marquez, Pecco and Acosta.
So many crashes today in the sprint race which is something surprising, again I hope there wont be too many crashes tomorrow.
With the result today, Jorge Martin add 12 points in the standing and he is leading with 29 points now to the 2nd position Pedro Acosta.
Marquez remains in the 7th position with 39 points, 53 points behind Jorge Martin (92).

If I'm not wrong Kick Sauber F1 and Haas teams both are going to part ways with their both drivers at the end of this season. As Kick Sauber F1 has already announced one of their drivers I wonder who the other one will be. Hulkenberg is an experienced driver. Therefore maybe his teammate would be a young talent. Just like the Bottas - Zhou duo. Smiley

About Haas I have also heard about Bearman rumours. But Haas had better improve their car more to give him a more decent car. Otherwise having an unstable car and an unexperienced driver both might not be for their advantage.  Sad  Haas haven't started too badly though maybe they can get better in time.

Good to know we are going to watch a race of MotoGp,I thought this to be a boring weekend without F1 and for me without F1 any weekend is a boring one yet with a MotoGp race I can call this one a less boring weekend.In fact during this season I have not seen a single race of MotoGP and I would love to watch Marquez in that Ducatti and see how he is doing.If he crashed while leading the race,that can be called unexpected yet a crash in a motorbike race is never unexpected for me,even more when you are used to push like crazy like Marquez did when he was at Honda.Let's hope the race of tomorrow will be better than the Sprint and we will see more action.

^  Oh nice.  Good to see more mainstream guys get into crypto casinos and sports betting sites.

Anyway did you guys hear the news?  Looks like Adrian Newey will leave Red Bull as he is disgusted with the thing that's going on in the team.  No dates were said but it seemed like he could like anytime.  There's something going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to.

Next race...

what was said a few weeks ago has become reality.

Nico Hülkenberg will leave Haas at the end of the season.
The rumor from a few weeks ago spoke of his probable arrival at Audi starting from 2026 and this is the first step in that direction.

At the moment there is no information on who will take his place on the American car.

Nico Hülkenberg has already been announced by Kick Sauber F1 team for the 2025 season!  Smiley



If it is true, Bottas and Zhou are both out of the team by the end of this season. One of their members has been decided by this signing but we don't know who Hülkenberg's teammate will be there.

Yeah, Hülkenberg might sign for Audi maybe later but at least for one season we will watch him at Kick Sauber. While there is an opening at Haas maybe we might see Bearman being given a chance, what do you think?  Smiley

Ferrari will race with special colors for the Miami Grand Prix, nothing like this has ever been seen for a Ferrari.

It should be a blue or light blue Ferrari.

Yeah they will race with special colors at the race in Miami later. Honestly, I really like this color, it's like taking Ferrari back to the old days where their team used light blue as their daily color. And this also reminds me of McQueen's colors when he joined Dinoco lol.

Ferrari could make any kind of marketing they want, they are a team that everyone loves and yet gets no happiness for supporting them. Ferrari has been like this for a long time as well, they tried their best chance with Vettel back in the day but they ended up still failing like that as well. This is why I believe that we are going to see Hamilton not do anything as well, look at how bad he got against Russell as well, dude becomes bad as soon as he is not racing with a teammate that doesn't just play nice.

All in all, Ferrari is making me mad as you can see lol, and I think it's quite weird that they keep spending all this money, even extra money compared to other teams, and they end up not being that great, what are their engineers doing every season and how are they managed so badly.

according to some sources in Italy the negotiations between Newey and Ferrari have already been taking place for some time.

Talk about it had already started in the first week of March and someone has already started talking about possible contracts between the Redbull engineer and Ferrari.
Newey has rejected Ferrari several times in the past, preferring other teams. The expected role would be head of technical supervisor.

According to the press, other teams are trying but Ferrari is in pole position to get his genius.

@Distraction, thanks for sharing the photos.  Smiley  I must admit that I didn't also like it. The racing suit is not bad but I can't say the same thing for the colors of the car. I'm really curious about whether there is something special with this blue for Ferrari. Because I don't remember them using these colors even for once but I would like to find out the reason of this.

Coming back to the season, Ferrari drivers didn't have a good weekend in China. The qualifying session didn't go well and they had to make an extra effort to climb some positions. Still I can't say their finishing positions were impressive. This time there was no Ferrari car on podium. I hope to see at least one of the drivers finishing on podium in Miami.

It seems that this week's Jerez MotoGP Race will be much fiercer than the previous round because from what I saw in Free Practice1, the Marquez duo managed to occupy first place. However, in the Practice that had just finished I saw Bagnaia set another new record to occupy first place and take him through to Q2 for tomorrow's qualifying. And on the one hand, there are also several riders who have won wildcards, such as Dani Pedrosa, who will be joining the race on Sunday, so this race will probably be much more exciting than the previous series.

Why are they doing such move,they have always raced in red from at least 1997 the year I started watching F1.This is a very and not at all common event for them so unless they are doing it for a special event it does not sound logical at all,even aiming at marketing it does not make sense as Ferrari sells the cars based on passion of buyers and are not relying on such strategy like changing color to boost sales.I don't get it why they do it.

Yeah, Ferrari has announced their special colours for the Miami GP.  Smiley



Truthfully I can't say I'm a fan of this kind of a design for the car. It reminds me of BMW Sauber F1 colours.  Tongue  I liked that car though but I mean these colours don't fit a Ferrari. Because Ferrari is famous for its red colour.

When it comes to special design I loved the special one by Red Bull for the 2021 Turkish GP.  Roll Eyes



Anyway we have a break of a week before the Miami GP and then we continue from where we left. There is going to be another sprint race by the way.

This was 100% Strolls fault, Stroll should have looked at what's going on, it wasn't a break test like Stroll said, it was literally no room for Daniel to go further, he had to break, every had to, and Stroll didn't see that and crashed into Daniel. Even worse situation is that Stroll, someone who we all know doesn't deserve a seat, has the most guaranteed seat of all time, even though he sucks.
The memes coming from this incident are very funny though. My favorite is probably Piastri's comment that basically said Stroll is the only driver who crashes when an emergency brake is unavoidable. Other than that, meme edits of Stroll crashing on a pit stop are also quite funny. I dunno how his relationship with other drivers is, but Stroll definitely needs to get better unless he wants to get bullied each week due to his mistake.

the "arguments" between the two Ferrari drivers are increasing.
Carlos and Charles are fighting aggressively on the track, both on Saturday and Sunday, in the sprint race and in the long race.
For now the situation is under control but given Sainz's already announced farewell at the end of the season the driders will have a lot of battles.
Sooner or later I predict a disastrous contact between the two, happy to be wrong but already after 4 races they risked colliding twice

Leclerc's radio was left open without realizing and we were able to hear all he felt during the overtake attempt against Sainz in the Chinese GP. Leclerc complained about Sainz's competing him more than the other drivers later. I must admit that Leclerc was right about it also.  Sad

Sainz just looks more aggressive this season definitely. He likes to push it to the limit in every race. Since Sainz heard that Ferrari wouldn't continue with him and signed Hamilton instead, he has been much more ambitious.

He looks like he wants to prove what Ferrari will miss... However as the driver they have agreed with is Hamilton I don't think Ferrari will be too sad.  Smiley

It is such a sad fact that these type of idiotic moves by others could end up with Daniel Ricciardo end up not having a career in F1, he was hired to see if he would be a good second driver for Max, this is his test, and so many unlucky stuff happened to him since his return, including even breaking his arm I think if I do not remember wrong, and bad things keep happening to him.

This was 100% Strolls fault, Stroll should have looked at what's going on, it wasn't a break test like Stroll said, it was literally no room for Daniel to go further, he had to break, every had to, and Stroll didn't see that and crashed into Daniel.

there is a proposal for the 2025 season.

They are thinking of changing the number of points assigned to finishing positions.

Now we have 10 drivers rewarded with points, they are thinking of reaching 12, for the first 8 positions nothing would change in the final score, it would only change for the last 4.
