All in all, this race will be very interesting, as it was not held last year because of the World Championship, so all teams lack the data of the more recent cars and can only fall back on the data from 2021.

I do believe that this would be an interesting race for the drivers knowing that they have to make time and utilize their practice and analyze it so much to make up for the lack of data. I'm really interested to see the practice sessions of this race.

The track does have a strange look to it. As one social media person said, it sort of looks like a dinosaur footprint.
Also forgot it wasn't in the race year for the last season either so yes the drivers and their team crew can't rely on data from the previous race season is an important point to consider for how it will go this weekend.

Questions for nex race. Is Perez going to be desperate again? 4th child just came.

Perez has been very bad in the last few races for being in a RedBull car, or not good enough for this car, so we'll see if he can improve his pace, but I don't really think so at the moment.

You don't think so because of what? I mean, there's nothing wrong with his pace, he's not Max but he's good enough to keep placements. It's his erratic impatience that's the problem, as we've been talking about in the last few posts.
I think he's either going to be patient or even more desperate. New baby effect.
Picks must be put in early tomorrow btw.

There is a sprint race format so yeah with the difference in time zones get them in early. I did them a day after the last race.

Also with @owengtam09 and others such as yourselves talking about Perez.
He will be trying his damnedest to try and get more points since he is in second place at the drivers standing with 223 points and Hamilton 190 so he would want to make a good impression to his boss Horner so there won't be anymore talk about him being cast out of the team having the reason of him not being able to perform compared to Verstappen who has 400 points.
With 16/22 race weekends already having been done there is still time for even the likes of Alonso to catch up and make second place.
