The 2nd race of 2023 is coming this SUN in Saudi Arabia.

Today is qualifying day, to start in 2 hours!

Don't expect miracles from MB!  It is sad to see a powerful team - $ & talents, doing so badly     !

Qualifying Session of 2023's Saudi Arabian F-1 has been completed.

Perez, LeClerc, then Alfonso.

I did not watch the Qualifying.  Something happened, Max was eliminated after Q-1, most likely engine problem.

GR was the best MB driver in 5th, Hamilton must be 7th or something.  There was already rumour that Hamilton will leave MB for a faster car, after his contract with MB expires this season.

PEREZ在技術上還比MAX差一點點，但是不多。所以上季季末，M寧願冒違背上級的命令，也不讓P超車，令紅牛隊不能獨霸駕駛員冠，亞軍兩席，P當時輸了一分，屈居第三！
所以我一直說M不是好隊友，也沒有體育精神，因為該場比賽前段時期，P曾經在上級指導下，讓M超車，以保證RB贏得隊和個人獎。在兩大獎都穫得保證後，同時只剩下兩，三圈的時候，也不讓P超車，取全年個人亞軍，真是匪夷所思！

2023's Saudi Arabian F-1 has just ended with Perez winning a well deserved race, followed by Max, Alonso, Russell, then Hamilton, then the two Ferraris.

Alonso almost lost his 3rd position because he positioned his car outside the starting grid, got a 5" penalty & while serving his penalty in a pit stop, the mechanics' jack touched Alonso's car before the 5" had ended, therefore violated the requirement, so the penalty remained in place despite serving it.  So, a total of 10" penalty.  Luckily he fought back Russell's challenge, & won by 0.5".

RB's cars were a full second faster than Alonso's; & 2" faster than the rest. I smelt something fishy here.  There is simply no way that a Team which neither manufactures power unit or chassis, can be much faster then Ferrari & MB.

MB improved quite a bit after Qualifying & managed to stay ahead of Ferrari, but not enough to even come close to RB.
