Red Bull stole favoritism from Ferrari at home

weeks ago, at Australia, ferrari the track is already pointed melbourne is not as sociable with his vehicle as it should be Imola. And Leclerc prevailed. Logic says Ferrari prefers another double in front of its fans, at Emilia Romagna GPespecially when I saw that Max Verstappen had more damaged tires on him red bull in the Australian event than Ferraris before experiencing his second DNF in three races due to another fuel system failure. However, two weeks after that, everything seemed to change. Helmut Marko ensured Red Bull solved its problems. Apparently it refers to reliability, but what no one expects is that Red Bull will show up Imola with better racing speeds than cars Maranello.

ferrari, with a larger aerodynamic load and better cornering, seemed to have it all in his face to prevail. But Red Bull may have turned the tables. Verstappen won the sprint race, but the worst thing for the Italians was the way he did it. The Dutchman stayed behind Charles throughout the event until he overtook Monegasque in the penultimate lap due to the best tire damage. Max, who was riding behind Charles, rolled his tires less than Monegasque, who suffered a grain in the end. And when the world champion overtook the Ferrari driver, he easily escaped to prevent the latter from sticking behind him and being overtaken by the DRS. Red Bull’s speed is higher.

“Today, to prepare for tomorrow’s race (Sunday) because it seems like that The Red Bulls have a little more this weekend and we need to find something if we want to stand with them. “, warned Carlos Sainz after finishing fourth in the sprint race, climbed 6 positions, knowing that rain could be good for Ferrari. “If it rains, we’ll have fun, and if it doesn’t rain, we need to look at how we can correct the shortfall we have at Red Bull. I am happy for my part with my pace at the end of the race, but it seems that they have less degradation “he commented on ‘DAZN F1’.

For his part, Leclerc didn’t lose hope that things would change this Sunday, but he also put emphasis on the wheels. “Tomorrow we will start again in the front row, but today we had problems with the tires and we need to study it. It was a good run until the last stage, where we had a grain in the final laps. “he declared.

Verstappen: “We’ve gotten better on wheels”

“I didn’t start very well, my tires slipped and then I had to relax because it seemed like Charles was running fast. Then he ran out of tires and I reduced the gap, although I didn’t put pressure on him until then. end said Verstappen.

“The compound has worked for us now and we’re better on the wheels in the end,” Max added., who at Ferrari’s house manages to strike the perfect blow. What should have been a stronghold for Maranello, he added a pole position on Friday and won this Saturday. Now he seeks to loop the loop: the victory over Emilia Romagna to end his first bad luck.
