Hey! that we can have a Top3 in the Spanish local language, Smiley ,Checo and Alonso, they look comfortable and enjoying the moment, especially Alonso, so I think  they will inspire Sainz, who seems to be on the hunt for the top 3.

Otherwise! if it were another circuit, I think that LEC and VER would have no problem even trying to get into there for the Top3 fight.


It's not impossible, but I don't think it will be easy with 3 Spanish-speaking riders in the top 3. I have Alonso in 2nd place, the other two places on the podium are Verstappen and Leclerc, but that will be very difficult. But the race is long and there are no defects ruled out.

Does anybody else think that Verstappen will continue to have mechanical or technical issues at the race?  I still have him finishing first in the race like what we saw last year when he had a grid penalty to I think 12th on the grid.  But as he's stlll using the same power unit, who knows what could happen...  It's gonna be a treat to watch him try and pass all the guys in front of him.  Hamilton, Russell, Leclerc, Sainz and Alonso.  Wink  But we'll see.  A DNF for him is also possible imho.

Some people expected good results from Lewis Hamilton in this race but he is now complaining about his car and saying he is not really connected with Mercedes machine.
I placed him high fourth place in my Superbu predictions but I don't think he can finish that high after hearing his complains, unless this is his strategy and mind games.
If you had to pick one driver not to finish Saudi Arabia Grand Prix who would you pick?
 

I have gone for some conventional bets and unconventional ones.The conventional ones are Perez to win and Under 16.5 cars to finish the race while for the unconventional I have gone with Aston Martin the team with the most points and McLaren both cars to finish in the points zone.As you see I didn't even care to place a bet on Mercedes and Hamilton because I don't know and I cannot read the performance of Mercedes cars and if I had to pick a driver not to finish in this race I would pick Leclerc or Verstappen as they start in the back of the grid so there are higher chances of collisions for them.

Mmm coming from him you never know, but i think Mercedes its really similar to last year, they cant squeeze all the juice from his car, and they dont find the way to do.

Tomorrow Verstappen dont need to rush in the launch because it can be useless and ended in a crash with low level cars.

I hope to see a interesting pit stop fight.

And one question in my place the race starts at 2 pm so in europe starts like 6 pm,  really strange hours for F1 isn't??

I picked Verstappen for pole position and he was a big favourite for that as well. But here we are seeing him being out of the challenge in Q2 already. This is a motorsport and everything can change anytime. He had a serious problem with engine and couldn't continue later on. I thought Alonso wouldn't be on podium in the BSFL as well but now he has a big chance to go for it.

Leclerc also got a grid penalty of 10 places as you know. Things are going on really interesting on this race week so far.

I also had Verstappen picked up for pole position and honestly did not expect the people who are in top ten,despite me being happy for Piastri who made a great performance this time for McLaren making them starting from the first top ten tomorrow.I am also not changing my picks as I am happy with just 2 EBP points.Things for tomorrow look complicated and that is why I choose to not change anything,I expect a beautiful race for tomorrow and wonder what is the odd of Verstappen winning it,most likely Redbull will fix their things up and they can win the race if they are helped by some Safety Car for example.

Yeah it was a really good performance by Piastri to be honest. McLaren were still seeming weak at the beginning of the season. I can't say they have made a big progress still either. But this is still some progress for them and Piastri especially. Because he was out of race in the Bahrain GP which was a disappointing start. But he was just unlucky as it wasn't his fault.

Verstappen's having this problem just eased things for Piastri about making it to Q3. While Norris was struggling in the session at least Piastri gave hope to his team.

I like to see Verstappen problems, not because i have something against him, but for the fun of the race this its really good, he have to comeback from the bottom of the grid and also he can battle agains Leleclerc in the track for positions because Leclerc starts from 12 position.

Lets see tomorrow start how many cars we have after the firsts turns.

agree, it will be more fun to watch Max and LeClerc trying to get into top3 from these positions, than watching boring race resolved after first curve
it is never easy to get back from position 15, but I think that Max will be into top6, probably up after first two laps, and than everything is possible

Alonso is in good position to get another podium, didn't thought that it is going to happen, but seems likely now

I think we are set in for quite a race tomorrow and with Max starting on back of the grid , I still see him having a recovery race and maybe even finish 3rd because let's be honest , he still has the faster car on the grid. However, I would like to see Alonso vs Perez for fight tomorrow and maybe , if Alonso wins , he will break 2 of Kimi's records and I doubt anyone will break this old age records anytime soon.

Anyone also saw the glimpse of Lance almost having a pole lap ? I do see him chasing a podium tomorrow as well but Russel really knows how to place on 3rd or 4th place and never give up , don't he ?  Grin  We do really have a great race tomorrow and fans really deserves one without a clear domination from a car.

I want just to enjoy this season of F1 a little more so having Verstappen at 15 at start will make a season a little more interested. I have same opinion like you.

Maybe Alonso can even challenge Perez.


It seems that Aston Martin is equal to or even faster than Ferrari, my pole position tip was actually Perez. But now I'm not changing my tip, but it seems rather unlikely that Perez can achieve pole position, my podium tip for tomorrow is also rather unconventional, but in sport there are always surprises. Now let's wait for the qualifying.

Currently not much available - see my websitelink
Free Practice is over now and Aston Martin, especially Alonso look very fast once again:



Maybe Alonso can even challenge Perez.
And Ferrari seems to struggle a lot on such a track, where many fast corners are key.

Make sure to enter your picks ahead of qualifying.  Smiley

Max Verstappen is big favorite for this Saudi Arabia Grand Prix and I think Red Bull has fastest formula car this season.
I think Fernando Alonso canmake good result this time and take advantage of Leclerc serving grid penalty.
Lewis Hamilton is big unknown for me, but I expect to see him in one of the top five positions.

Don't forget to put in your predictions for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend.

I already did and after seeing the Friday 2 sessions of free practice it is clear that Redbull will continue to dominate again in this race if all race conditions are normal (no crash,no Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car) they are going to win this one too,Verstappen has already topped the two free practices and Alonso is right there,no improvement at least in these free practices from Ferrari or Mercedes.It may be going to a really boring race for us fans of F1 as most likely Redbull will dominate from start to end but at least we have this pool here to keep our emotions high because we route for every driver that we place in the top 10.

^ Chinese steel from the 80s is apparently better than the ones used these days, from all the videos I've been seeing, including concrete actually haha.

But apparently most of it is now used in Asia and Africa, I suppose time will tell.

But on topic, I have to say I feel more and more weirded out reading about Ferrari. How does a champion go down so fast? It feels not so much about Red Bull catching up and moving ahead but more like them actually going down.

Very confused by everything in terms of "construction".

Even McLaren has gone down very fast after becoming Champions in 2008 for the last time,it took them 5 years up to 2013 to screw it up completely and they are still not figuring it out,so that is a lot of years in vain trying to make the perfect car,it is funny how they switched from Honda to Mercedes and they are seeing now that Honda is winning Championships,patience is all that is needed with Japanese premium brands like Honda as in the long run they have always sorted it out.

Today we have the free practices,do not forget to watch them everyone to have a clear insight of the cars,I know almost nothing has changed but who knows how hard the runners up teams have worked in their cars so we can see some surprise results today.

Last day for payments also but I assume everyone has already paid.
