For the Formula 1 fans, Red Bull announced that Pierre Gasly is going to be replaced by Albon in the Belgian Grand Prix.
The bad performance of Gasly apparently have a negative impact for him.

Race was amazing almost like in 2017. No matter on how the race it self was it was good to see then battle whole race for win, and ye Honda and Ducati are still league for them, Yamaha had some improvement but still they need to work on it.

Also more and more I watch Moto2 races they are also good and even more excitement then MotoGP.

The last turn overtakes by Dovi was crazy. That's what should happen in a race, not running away from your competitors. Honda and Ducati look very strong which is unfortunate for Quartararo which should have the opportunity to fight for the podium if he had a better bike. Yamaha need to fix their machine asap before their competitor kick their ass again next year.

the race at Motogp Austria again presented an interesting race on the last lap lap, and again also repeated the drama like last year, and again, Marquez again lost to Dovi.

Yeah absolutely it is the battle of manufacturers which is I think a good competition among manufacturer to show case their products and advertising and most importantly the development and applications of the new technology will be enhanced.

Well, in motosports, the competition is not only between riders but also between team/constructors. A team needs to prepare a good bike for the riders so they can win a race and at the same time contribute to the constructors' competition. If Marquez or anybody else wins a race or championship, then the answer would be because of the rider and the bike quality. It doesn't make sense to assume that it's only because of the bike. Even if that's true, the settings of that bike or the quality of that bike come from their own research, trial and error, and so on.

Agree, I think so too and therefore there is a desire to see top-tier racers using vehicles from lower-tier racers or try to experiment everything is exchanged. If Marquez can still be at the forefront of using low-end racer vehicles, then it can be said that it is an excellent skill.

Yeah, that bike is insanely good. The engineers who put it together are truly some of the best. Marquez is also at the top of his game. Putting the 2 together makes for an almost impossible thing to beat.

In Motorsports a huge portion of the wins that a driver does come from the vehicle.
I don't doubt Marquez's skills, he is a great driver but his motorbike is the best in the championship.

it looks like Marquez will dominate the Race tomorrow, which is the motivation for Marquez maybe because he wants to make his first win on this circuit. resistance from other riders is always awaited.

The reason why Gasly performs better is the fact that he has a better car.
I doubt if he would do better than Kvyat if both were driving the same car. Having said that, we may see a comeback of Kvyat to Red Bull in the next season.

All point in that direction and for this change we will have to wait or end of this season or in between seasons to know little more about. Also just to add my local commentator also mentioned that this is most likely to happen that it will be change Kvyat to RB and Gasly to TR.

I doubt that we will see him in Red Bull next season. Gasly isn't much faster than Toro Rosso drivers and he is even loosing to them quite often. Nobody expects that he can drive at Verstappen level, but Red Bull can't be happy about his results. Kvyat performed much better, butvhe was kicked out from Red Bull in the middle of season.

It is the first season for Gasly and we cannot pretend for him to be on par with Max.It takes a bit of time until you become familiar with the car and how it behaves,Gasly showed great driving skills last year and that is why Red Bull got him in the first place.I doubt they will let him go away just after one season,from what I have seen Red Bull sees more than a season when they get new drivers but we will see.

Gasly cannot follow the pace and the performance of his teammate unfortunately.
During the last races, more rumors have risen which state that Daniil Kvyat is going to take his position next season, and Gasly will drive for Toro Rosso. We have to be patient and see. Maybe he will be better after the break.

Yep only Max and the Mercedes. Just wondering what Gasly is doing th last races. Everytime lapped by his own teammate. Don't think he will be long at RB if he don't improve himself.

Suzuki rider Joan Mir will miss the race in Austrian MotoGP. He must be absent because he has not fully recovered after an accident in the test in Brno. He had an accident while driving at speeds of more than 200 km / hour.

Mir then hit the wall hard enough. The accident made the 21-year-old rider taken to the hospital.

Marc Marquez Looking for First Victory in the Red Bull Ring. Marcz Marc has never once won an Austrian MotoGP held this weekend. Quoted from the US, among the 19 tracks that are now hosting MotoGP races, only the Red Bull Ring has never been conquered by Marc. In a row he finished fifth (2016) and twice finished runner up (2017 and 2018).
