I believe Sainz gets replaced by Bearman here but as this is such a exceptional situation, wish we players could get the opportunity for this race to adjust Sainz (Bearman)only. I had put Sainz for third which Bearman won't achieve.

Wishing sweet Sainz all the best for a speedy recovery. Good thing is there's no racing next weekend. I remember when I had my appendix removed, I was advised not to take part in any sporting activity for 3 months. Am sure Science & medical procedures have improved since then & we can expect Sainz ...

On a side note (to make matters worse), all the eyes of the F1 world & media will be on Bearman mounting loads of pressure on him. But....he has a golden chance to impress.

Sainz was ill yesterday but still drove in FP1/2. Here you can see how visibly ill he looks but is sweet enough to sign autographs for fans.

One of the drivers I feel is in a big dilemma is Sergio Perez. As like 12 others, his contract expires at the end of the year. He has to keep driving much better than last year to keep his negotiation with Red Bull alive for a new contract. The issue for him is does he focus on Red Bull solely or ev...

One of my favorite race tracks on the calendar. Waiting to see how strong Ferrari & McLaren will be especially the latter as they excel in fast speed corners.

We could also add Liam Lawson to this. He's been assured by Marko for a seat in RB for 2025. It depends then who's out of the Red Bull stable or even F1.

For all the animosity between Jos Verstappen & Horner, do we really think Max will go to Mercedes? For the past 2 years, they're struggled to find a solution to their issues whilst Red Bull incorporated all those designs & made it work. Imo, Max needs to get rid of his father by his side in the F1 p...

Marko did say Perez wasn't struggling in the final stint. It was Perez's intent to not push too much & too hard as he had to maintain those softs for 20 laps. He did just enough to maintain about a three second gap so as to not let Sainz come in DRS position & also not push unnecessarily. I'm sure P...

Well thats just a little depressing. I suppose there is some fools hope that one of meec, ferrari or mclaren do some super development to get close to RB. But unlikely.

Not good for Alpine :uhoh: I suspect they're going to be awful in the races but decent showing for Haas there. Based on this session, the bottom of the grid pecking order over one lap looks to be: 7.

Difficult for Perez though in a car that requires a driving style completely different to his preferences
The car if anything looks more understeery right now which definitely suits Perez's style.

Perez is much closer to Verstappen in race pace but qualy will matter this year more than 2023.

Now we’ve seen quali sims in this session, I’m prediting this top six for qualifying: 1. Leclerc 2. Sainz 3. Verstappen 4. Russell 5. Norris 6. Hamilton Perez's poor qualy form will affect him even more this season as other cars seem closer. Verstappen will be able to make the most of his RB20 to s...

Haas look absolutely miles off. Maybe seeing these numbers is what caused them to sack Steiner.
What was that about Andretti not being competitive enough to join?

Haas & Alpine really wasting precious grid slots & not allowing other prospective teams to join in.

Within the top three teams, Perez looks the most vulnerable. He's the slowest when it comes to medium shod cars from top teams & his race pace isn't looking good when compared to Ferrari & Mercedes cars. He has to forget about trying to better his last year's WDC position & just concentrate on finis...

Verstappen going fastest before calling everything ‘sh*t’ probably isn’t a good sign for everyone else.

This was expected but Mercedes starting off well is a pleasant surprise.

A lot of experienced F1 folks believe Mercedes is second in the pecking order.
