Formula 1 is facing the final stretch of the World Championship. Let’s face it, who would have said it in light of 2023 and seeing how it all started? Red Bulla final straight more than equal for the constructors’ and drivers’ titles. Because everything is open. Because in Azerbaijan, on this very long part of Baku, we will see again this great face to face by Verstappen against the McLarens…. and with knowledge yes Ferrari And Mercedes as guests.
Because everything became equal. Because what seemed like Max would be on his way to his fourth World Cup is turning out to be a big problem. The car, that practically perfect machine that only gave way last year in Singapore, has gone from “god level” to that of a mere mortal who must fight against all odds.
Who has everyone on his side. That, in Baku, they are not favorites. This is what the recent past says.This was revealed by a Monza test in which Verstappen finished 20 seconds behind Lando Norris.
Aston Martin, target 2026
That’s the way it goes. That’s the way the waters are at Red Bull since, coincidences of life, the march by Adrian Newey. Since then, its evolution has been what it has been. Stagnant, moving backwards while everything McLaren puts in its car works. While everything Mercedes puts in its car also works.
Bad deal. It’s also bad to know than in Azerbaijan There is another proper name like Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque is one of those who loves Baku, and thanks to him and Carlos Sainz Ferrari can engage in a fight in which, for the moment, Aston Martin will not be there.
In which Fernando Alonso will not be. But yes, for now. At the moment because key date for the greens, For the rest, we are in 2026. Newey will already be there, and if that happens the opposite effect with his arrival and what happened at Red Bull with his departure have reasons to be optimistic.
The single-seater, in the words of Lance Stroll in Free Practice 1, it doesn’t work. “It’s not a car, at the moment it’s not,” the Canadian told the thoughtful minds of an Aston Martin team that He made some changes in the straight, long straightfrom Baku.
Their fight is what it is. It’s about getting the car into Q3 and seeing what can be scratched. Verstappen, meanwhile, has to have his mind perfectly clear and clear. You have to be more than focused when watching what happens with McLaren.
