About the race.... a good one. But for me it was not a penalty for Norris Verstappen as always forcing the other drivers and playing the victim card.... boring to see that behavior.
Next day after race when emotions isn't hot anymore, I already lost count how many times I watched replay of that moment. It's so contraversial and the true probably somewhere in between. Yeah, Max pushed Norris of track, but Max was first at coner apex. But there is another thing that Max went of track too.
Norris after race said that stewards isn't considtent with rules. I need to rewatch some similar moments that happened in past and see what decision was made then.

There are only 5 races left for the end of the season in F1. Slissy has been keeping their lead for a long time.When we think about the point difference between, the best target for me is going to be to finish the pool in top 3.Ferrari makes us excited for next season with their performance at the end of this season.I think the possibility of seeing a championsip from the Hamilton - Leclerc duo isn't low at all.

Congrats to Jayce for that YC!

Colapinto almost gave me 2.5 points, I had selected him for position 10, but I decided only on the fastest lap, which he lost on the penultimate lap.

Notes aside, the trucks...!!
They seemed like candidates for queen of Texas  Cheesy

Thanks a lot fm!

Yes Ferrari i said it before they have a chance is small and they cant make any mistake but the chance is there.

They only need a Mcclaren failure in a engine or a crash and they can catch so much points on their bags and cut out the gap. I dont check now how are the odds, a few race ago were really good odds.

They are only 30 or so points behind. Everything is still open, teams had time to work on the cars, whoever did the best job will be the champion - even Ferrari has an outside chance.

I felt Ferrari had a chance, but this race actually propels them for realistic candidates for the constructors title.
With 5 races to go, this will surely be one of the most interesting seasons in recent memory.

Red Bull actually looks like they will finish 3rd overall. Who would have said that after the first few races, eh?

I would have loved to see the McLaren and Redbull get 1st and 2nd in the first turn and see what the Ferraris would have done in such situation. This race was a disaster for the pool yet almost everyone in the top fight just got a 0.5 or 1 points more than the others so not much has changed with 5 races to go.

In Mexico let's see how the cars behave as McLaren management team knew that this Austin track was not suitable for their car. Let's hope we see a better race in Mexico and I am sure we will see it.

Anyway, my prediction tomorrow is that Norris will not be able to hold on to his P1 for much longer. Probably by the end of lap 1, Max is the one leading already.
Looking back, I pretty got it quite accurate lol.

Except it was Leclerc who took advantage of the gap and dominated the race from then onwards. Pretty happy about today’s race honestly. I did expect Ferrari to be on the podium because of their good race pace from the sprint but also track performance in previous years. Didn’t expect it to be a 1-2. Now moving on to next tracks, Ferrari are also notably has been very good tracks with the next two tracks especially Las Vegas. I’m already expecting a good few weekends from Ferrari.

Magnificent race from Colapinto, and making the "real" fastest lap, Alpine head was very smart on cutting that point from williams and making one of his driver to put the soft to steal the fastest lap.

I hope it will be McLaren, a change is needed. But way too early to say Red Bull is out of the race.

In the drivers' race Verstappen's probably just a bit too far ahead for Norris to have a chance.

Yes they are not far behind, but there is a big problem, at RedBull only one driver scores points, at McLaren two drivers score continuously, that makes a big difference.

Like yesterday in qualifying for the race, where is Perez? But congratulations to Norris, he just snatched pole position from Verstappen.



It will be a very nice race this one and can't wait for these hours to pass very soon, we are 5 hours away from the race now, Norris were extremely lucky to get the pole and knock one point out of my prediction as I had Verstappen on pole and Verstappen was doing a much better lap compared to what Norris was doing in the final moments of Q3 yet the huge amount of bad luck for me that guy Russell goes and crash into the wall, he has done so more than any other drivers from the line up that we have here. Verstappen is playing for the driver title and all Redbull is behind him supporting that title, they know don't stand big chances against McLaren in the constructors title so they are all doing anything they can for Max and even Perez can be sacrificed to achieve this goal.

I think though it would be quite difficult for Norris to hit a win tomorrow night on the race because the Redbull under Max Verstappen driving style seems the best car out in this track, the sprint showed it too so I think Max despite this huge amount of bad luck
I must say I’m surprised by Mclaren’s performance. They are the team that has been consistently good in almost all tracks but now with Piastri not being able to get higher, it seems like something changed with the Mclaren car. I mean they did bring an enormous amount of upgrades this weekend. Not sure if it’s helping them.

Red bull or at least Max seems to have found their pace from the start of the season. Perez is going to cost them the constructors’ just how he did during 2021. He is just miles away from Max and it’s very damaging to the team.

Anyway, my prediction tomorrow is that Norris will not be able to hold on to his P1 for much longer. Probably by the end of lap 1, Max is the one leading already.

Seems incredible how Lando Norris keeps giving advantage and words to spoke against him to his detractors or haters, because this people point uout that Norris is not so top because he made silly mistakes in crucial moments and....... today he make another one.

Luck is totally on his side though. I had Verstappen in pole and in the last minute of Q3 where he clearly were making a pole lap that idiot of Russell which has done this a lot of times now shunt himself into the wall which gave Lando the pole position for this race.I think though it would be quite difficult for Norris to hit a win tomorrow night on the race because the Redbull under Max Verstappen driving style seems the best car out in this track, the sprint showed it too so I think Max despite this huge amount of bad luck from that Russell guy which is doing from bad to worse or maybe is Mercedes doing so, Max I am sure is happy starting from the front row, he just needs to be calm and I am sure he can win this race and makes it difficult to McLaren driver Norris to win. Tomorrow Norris should give it all otherwise he can say goodbye to the Championship.

Norris screwed it up in the end against Ferrari when he locked up and is now finished third in the sprint race, he lost 2 or 3 points against Verstappen, also I got enough info for what to place as the pole winner, race winner and so on, Ferrari seemed a massive upgrade in performance and let's see how do in tomorrow race. I am extremely disappointed for McLaren, not showing what they are capable or maybe their driver ability is less than that of Verstappen, it will be a very difficult race to predict, one thing I know for sure is that Aston Martin sucked really really big in here and I don't see them doing any further improvement to enter points unless a lot of Safety Car incidents will happen.
Bad outcome of sprint for Norris and Max managed to increase his lead a bit. Norris was close to fall off the podium and for me that straight braking in front of Leclerc looked interesting, Charles almost crashed into him.
Ferrari looked great, but IMO they wasted too much time and tyres fighting between each other.
And both Haas finishing in points is impressive stuff.

Since Haas is based on a Ferrari engine it really means that the Ferraris are doing well here, however the thing is I doubt in the race they will be able to do so like they did in the sprint for a longer time, overall the strategies in the race depending also on how people will qualify is that most likely they won't be able to climb in a podium, I see McLaren doing better in a longer distance and the focus will be much higher from Norris and Piastri during the long race rather than in this sprint or at least I hope they do otherwise we call it a day regarding the title of the drivers being won by Max Verstappen and why not we also re-open the title for the constructors seeing how well the Redbull upgrades have been put in place during this long break of 3 weeks.

So far in the sessions, there have been quite different results. At first, Ferrari looked strong in practice. But later on they couldn't show the same effort in sprint qualifying.

Currently there is a sprint race going on. Ferrari can't be competitive for the lead again. Verstappen has a decent gap against Norris in the lead. If he finishes ahead of Norris here, will Norris' chance for the title be still on?  Huh

RedBull's updates seem to be working reasonably well, Verstappen get pole position for the sprint race, McLaren didn't perform so well after the break, could be a step forward for RedBull for the world championship, even if the constructors title is lost I think.

Yeah I was surprised by seeing the qualifying results yet I think that it is mostly thanks to Max bravery than the Redbull upgrades, in such track the driving skill absolutely distinguishes between drivers and cars, in here having the best car is not enough to do well so I think it is mostly due to Max bravery. For this reason I have not put my predictions yet, I need to see the race at 20 PM European time and then decide how to go for tomorrow race as in our time the qualification starts at 00.00 AM so it is in the same date as the race  Grin on 20 October. I need this information before blasting my picks in, it is essential I think to anyone to get this info before deciding how to go and this can also tell us for real if the Redbull upgrades can make a difference which would lead most of us to change our picks that we have already in mind.
