2024 - Race 3 Australia
Will this be another RB 1 & 2?
Does Horner still have a job?
Will Ocon cry again at Australia?
What will be the next F1 drama this week?

We'll only know once we know.
The drama around the sport lately has been real, but mostly click bait in my mind.
And I think Ocon will be crying a lot, but it won't be the first time.

We are likely to see Ferrari giving competition to Red Bull this weekend. Max would still be the clear favorite to get the race win by we see Ferrari getting the second post on the podium this Sunday.

It looks like it's going to be really tight and qualification. If anyone gets ahead of Red Bull in qually it could pan out during the race.
If anything it looks like Ferrari might take the fight to Red Bull. Mercedes looks strong on the soft tire, but not as strong on the medium.
But then again Red Bull seem to be more focused on a race pace with this year's car, so it could be a race that changes quickly once it starts.
I guess we'll find out in about an hour who ends up on top for the race start.

Hard to say on that one. Fred might have spanked himself, as he has been called to the stewards, and telemetry shows that he lifted and braked, then accelerated again, before braking for the corner. I suspect the stewards are assuming that wiley old Fred reeled in George on purpose to destabilize him through the corner. With a bad corner it's hard to stay on the attack.
Tricky call to make, as Fred could have just been trying to reel George close and then get the better corner exit himself to defend. I guess we'll see soon enough how it all plays out.
As for the rest of the race, great job by Ferrari and McLaren. Carlos controlled the race well from the front once Max was in trouble, and McLaren had a strong race as well. Sergio is showing the weakness on having him as a driver when things go wrong for Max though. I'm not sure RB want to play that hand much longer. And in the junior team, Yuki got some points, and Danny is still struggling. With George off both Haas cars end up in the points, which for them is a good weekend.

Well, that was different! Ferrari did have the pace after all.

It's almost a shame that Max had his issues so early in the race. Carlos was quick enough that he might have been able to keep pace with Max in the RB it seemed. I guess we will never know for sure, but Carlos and Ferrari did seem really quick.
Aaaaannnnddd..... Alonso got spanked with a 20 second penalty. I'm still not sure if I agree with it, as similar incidents have taken place. And though they claim that penalties have nothing to do with the outcome of the action, I'm not sure this is the case this time. Other drivers have lifted in a similar fashion and not got a penalty, but then again there was no accident. But I do think Fred pushed it further than others have, so the penalty might make sense.
