Verstappen on fire & Ducati back on top - Saturday Racing Round Up
F1
We were hoping for a crazy Qualifying, and we definitely got it! Some teams did better than expected, and others less so, which is setting up a thrilling start to the year!
All weekend Red Bull have been the team to beat, however every single person was wary of the threat that Mercedes bring whenever they go out on track. But it was not enough today, as they finished 4 tenths off the Dutchman. The battle for pole was what we all wanted, and we hope will continue for the rest of the year. As for the race, Mercedes may have better race pace, so there could be more fireworks to come! The 2nd Red Bull’s curse, is yet to be lifted, as Perez’s gamble for mediums in Q2, left him just on the wrong side of the cut off. Can he redeem himself tomorrow?
In behind the top three, all eyes were on McLaren, with the possibility of Alpha Tauri getting in their way, I don’t think many people predicted a Ferrari in fourth. All the signs had pointed to only slight improvements from them, not wholesale fixes, to bring them back to where they almost should be. That being said, we cannot assume too much from one session, we have seen before that Leclerc can do amazing things in bad cars. Sainz sadly made a mess of his final run, after pressuring Charles all day.
As I mentioned, the threat from Alpha Tauri was clear to see going into qualifying, and they definitely delivered! Tsunoda in the first session was unbelievable, beating Mercedes on the same tyres, only to struggle on the mediums in the second session and just miss Q3. He has great pace; he just needs experience on different tyres. As for Gasly, he did what we know he can do, P5 for the team is an amazing start to the year. The rule changes have helped them hugely, can they get third in the constructors this year?
McLaren getting both cars in the top ten, should be a very good result, yet with all the hype around them, being only the fifth fastest car is a bit underwhelming. This may just be track specific, and we could see better race pace tomorrow from them, which was suggested from FP2 yesterday. This means, we could see at least these 3 teams fighting hard all race, with possibly Alpine and Aston Martin in the mix too. The two rebranded teams finally showed their hand today, and gave us more than we had expected actually. Whilst both Vettel and Ocon were hampered by yellow flags, Stroll and Alonso used the car underneath them to reach the top ten, so it could once again be a 5 car midfield fight this year.
Alfa Romeo are bridging that gap to the midfield, undoubtedly helped by an overhauled Ferrari engine. Both cars in Q2 must be a good start to the year, where points could be much more regular for them. Williams and Haas sat where we all predicted them to be, Russell may be able to get more out of the car on a Saturday, although he will likely fall back come tomorrow. Haas are going to have a tough year, Mick has at least started the year off well, beating his teammate who had a troublesome session.
I cannot wait for tomorrow, there are storylines up and down the grid, and with new tyres which the drivers didn’t like on the long runs in practice, who knows what will happen over 57 laps!
MotoGP
Ducati have once again come to Losail with a rocket ship, but it was not the bike many thought would be on pole, as Bagnaia held off the Yamahas for his maiden pole position.
Ducati can be pretty happy with today, whilst Miller and Zarco were not able to match the flying Italian, we can expect them to make good starts and be right in the fight. They are probably the favourites for the win, with their straight line speed, the hard bit is picking who could do it!
Yamaha may be equally as pleased with their work, as whilst they haven’t got pole, they are where they need to be, and over a race distance, could really give the red bikes a headache. The two factory bikes should be the favourites from the Japanese team, although the performance of Rossi cannot go unnoticed, who normally does better on a Sunday!
The Aprilia bike is coming on form right now, at least in the hands of one rider, it looks much more stable than before, which could be the final piece in the puzzle. This has been a good track for Aleix, so whether these results will stick around all season is questionable, on top of his race run pace, but either way, they are clearly on the up. Suzuki as expected are not up front on a Saturday, it will be tomorrow where we see how they stack up, on a track where they have gone well before. If they can get in the lead pack and into a strong rhythm, they could cause issues for the others.
Honda are still reeling from the long recovery of their lead rider, at least two bikes in Q2 is something to be happy about. I think that will be where they sit for most of the year, until Marc returns. KTM were rather disappointing, no bikes in Q2, and there was never really a threat of them doing so. They need to hope it is track specific, as otherwise, it could be disaster for a team with so much hope for the future.
Like always in MotoGP, the race will probably be full of action and close racing, but who can start their season off in the best way, and who will be counting lost points?

F1 2020: Gasly fends off Sainz to win dramatic Italian GP - Click on link to subscribe my channel https://ift.tt/34vXvMA Facebook - https://ift.tt/2Vjiyz6 Twitter - https://twitter.com/HsrSports Pinterest - https://ift.tt/2ywdZIH Tumblr - https://ift.tt/2z5qwmL Blog - https://ift.tt/2VlBDRu #Motor_Sports #Formula1 #MotoGP Follow us on 6th Sep 2020 10:45 pm Gasly secured his maiden F1 win at the Italian GP; Sainz and Stroll complete a surprising podium as Hamilton was handed a penalty. Pierre Gasly won an action-packed 2020 Italian GP as Monza churned out one of the most memorable F1 races in recent history. With this, the French driver has secured his maiden F1 win and AlfaTauri’s second win in the sport, 12 years after Sebastian Vettel handed the team – then competing as Toro Rosso – their first victory at the same venue. McLaren’s Carlos Sainz and Racing Point’s Lance Stroll completed an unexpected podium after a 10-secs stop and go penalty for early leader Lewis Hamilton threw the race wide open. Pierre Gasly clinches his maiden F1 win Hamilton recovers from 10-sec stop and go penalty to finish 7th Both Ferraris retire on home ground Why was Hamilton handed a penalty at the Italian GP? It initially seemed like Hamilton was well on his way to secure his 90th career win. His Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas’ poor start allowed the McLaren duo of Sainz and Lando Norris to climb to 2nd and 3rd. And this only helped Hamilton pull away at the front. However, the race was turned on its head when the safety car was brought out as marshalls recovered Kevin Magnussen’s Haas. The location of the stricken Haas meant that the pit lane had to be closed. But Mercedes and Alfa Romeo seemed to miss out on this, with Hamilton and Antonio Giovinazzi both diving into the pits for fresh tyres. Just moments later the race was red flagged after Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc suffered a massive crash at Parabolica. While the grid waited for the race to re-start, the stewards handed Hamilton and Giovinazzi a 10-secs stop and go penalty for their pit lane transgressions, which translated to roughly a 30-secs loss at Monza. Hamilton served his penalty after the race re-started on lap 28 and it dropped him all the way down to last place. Gasly’s landmark victory Hamilton’s penalty, Bottas’ cooling problems and Max Verstappen’s subsequent retirement due to a power unit issue left the race with a rather unexpected leading pack. Gasly had done well to overtake Stroll at the re-start and he now found himself in the lead ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Sainz. Sainz overtook Raikkonen on lap 34 and then set about trying to catch Gasly. At one point his race engineer reminded him to avoid making any errors as 2nd place was yet a major result. But Sainz replied with a steadfast “I want this win”. The race went right down to the wire as Sainz eventually closed up to the back of Gasly’s AlphaTauri. But he ran out of time and had to settle for 2nd place. Gasly ended up crossing the line 0.415 secs ahead – some much-needed redemption for the French driver, 13 months after he was dropped by Red Bull. Stroll secured his second career podium with a 3rd place finish. Interestingly, this was the first time since the 2013 Australian GP that not a single driver from Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari stood on the top step of the podium. “Honestly, it’s unbelievable. I’m not realising what’s happening right now. It was such a crazy race, and then we capitalised on the red flag,” a shocked Gasly said after the race. "I’ve been through so much in the space of 18 months, my first podium last year, I was already like ‘wow’ with AlphaTauri. And now my first win in Formula 1 in Monza. I have got no words,” he continued. Norris comfortably held off Bottas to take 5th place and secure another strong result for McLaren. Daniel Ricciardo raced to 6th place, while Hamilton recovered from his penalty to finish 7th. Esteban Ocon, Daniil Kvyat and Sergio Perez rounded out the top 10. Disastrous home race for Ferrari Following a disappointing Belgian GP , where Ferrari failed to score a single point, things only got worse for the Italian squad on home ground. Sebastian Vettel could only qualify down in 17th and retired early on with a brake failure. Leclerc, meanwhile, lost the rear of his car and crashed into the outside wall at Parabolica. Speaking after his race ended prematurely, Vettel even said that it was “a blessing” that...

F1 2020: Hamilton wins Belgian GP as Ferrari struggle - Click on link to subscribe my channel https://ift.tt/34vXvMA Facebook - https://ift.tt/2Vjiyz6 Twitter - https://twitter.com/HsrSports Pinterest - https://ift.tt/2ywdZIH Tumblr - https://ift.tt/2z5qwmL Blog - https://ift.tt/2VlBDRu #Motor_Sports #Formula1 #MotoGP Follow us on 30th Aug 2020 11:08 pm Lewis Hamilton led a 1-2 finish for Mercedes, while Ferrari failed to score a single point at the Belgian GP. Lewis Hamilton put on yet another dominant display to win the Belgian GP and extend his F1 2020 championship lead. The Briton was in a league of his own at Spa-Francorchamps and crossed the line 8.448 secs ahead of his Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas. F1’s 70th Anniversary GP winner Max Verstappen held position in 3rd place to take his sixth consecutive podium finish. ·         Hamilton now leads the standings by 47 points from Verstappen ·         Ricciardo and Ocon finish 4th and 5th for Renault ·         Ferrari out of the points in 13th and 14th Hamilton, Bottas, Verstappen hold station The Belgian GP did churn out some memorable moments and overtaking moves, but none of them at the top end of the field as Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen held station out at front to manage their tyres. After making a good start, Hamilton already started pulling away in the lead. An early-race safety car triggered by a huge crash for Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi, which also took out Williams’ George Russell, gave Bottas the opportunity to attempt a pass at the re-start. However, he was unable to make a move stick and spent the race of the race unable to really match Hamilton’s pace, allowing his team mate to build a healthy buffer. Speaking after the race, Hamilton admitted that he was struggling with his tyres and was afraid of a repeat of his British GP fiasco , where he crossed the line on just three wheels. “It wasn’t the easiest of races. I had a lock-up into Turn 5 which started to give a bit of a vibration and then one into the last corner. The tyre temperatures were slowly dropping... and I was a bit nervous we might have a scenario like Silverstone at the end so I was nursing it,” he said. Finishing in 3rd place, Red Bull Racing’s Verstappen quipped that the race was “pretty boring”  and “not very interesting”  for him. “Not much to do. I ran out of tyres at the end, so I was just stretching it out, saving the front tyres. It was not enjoyable out there today,” he added. Strong race for Renault Renault bounced back from a disappointing Spanish GP to secure its best team result since Monza last year. Daniel Ricciardo took 4th place and bagged an additional point for setting the fastest lap. The Australian was flying in the final few laps, but was unable to catch up to Verstappen ahead of him. Esteban Ocon, meanwhile, overtook Red Bull Racing’s Alexander Albon on the last lap to claim 5th place. Lando Norris had closed up to the back of the pair towards the end of the race, but had to settle for 7th place. He was the only McLaren driver to compete in the race after Carlos Sainz failed to start due to an exhaust failure. AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and the Racing Point duo of Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez completed the top 10. Ferrari hit a new low Ferrari has struggled for pace all season, but Spa-Francorchamps threw a real curveball for the Italian squad. They narrowly avoided the embarrassment of being knocked out in the first segment of qualifying, and the race saw them finish behind both the AlphaTauri cars and even Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen. Both Ferrari drivers failed to score any points with Sebastian Vettel finishing 13th, ahead of his team mate Charles Leclerc in 14th. Leclerc had done well at the start to gain six places and climb up to 8th. But he dropped down the order as the race progressed, unable to match the pace of his nearest rivals. The Belgian GP proved that Ferrari indeed are running low on power, but there’s a lot of be desired on the chassis side too. With F1 heading to the Temple of Speed, Monza, next week for the Italian GP, Ferrari really have their work cut out if they want to perform decently at their home race. What does the F1 2020 drivers’ championship look like? With his fifth race win (out of seven races) in the bag, Hamilton has now extended his championship lead over Verstappen to a very healthy 47 points. Meanwhile, Bottas has slashed into Verstappen’s advantage and i...
