F1 GP Baku: Red Bull wants to continue to destroy Ferrari’s morale

In the city of light and fire, Ferrari wants to rise from its ashes to forget the catastrophe Monaco and shine before red bull. Azerbaijan receive F1 world championship this weekend with a fight for all red hot. Verstappen leading with a 9 -point advantage over Leclerc and 15 points in the new win over Monaco, Sergio Perez. ‘Czech ‘ He was really the last driver to win standard and you want to celebrate your renewal for two years including red bull to that win. Here last year he won his first success with the energy drinks group, which has already admitted to the public that it will have the same chances as Verstappen to fight for the title. We need to see if in the first change, in standard, red bull stick to that word if ‘Czech’ comes first Max. That will be the test of cotton on a team that as long as it is not proven, no matter how much is said in front of the gallery, the leader remains the champion.

Red Bull arrived in Baku with high spirits after their masterpiece in Monaco. They threw the hook on the Ferrari wall and the Italian techniques failed. Some Italian media, far from criticizing Leclerc’s lack of leadership and decision, blamed Sainz’s ‘no’, that is, the only thing he did right ferrari On Sunday. In that climate which is rare in the loss of a clear double in Monaco, the Italians had to respond, and Carlos Sainz, continue on the ascending line of Monaco to continue the progress in its adaptation to Ferrari F1-75.

But in this circuit Ferrari should have a hard time. Red Bull is the favorite because of its higher engine power on a track with two very long straights, one of which is 2.1 kilometers long, where they will exceed 350 km/h. This doesn’t seem to be the best place for Ferrari to beat red bulland if they do not achieve it, the goal of those Maranello should be to reduce losses while waiting for the next appointment of Canada, as announced by ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, the transalpine team mounted a machine with greater power and reliability due to the enhancement of the hybrid system. Despite all that has been said, Ferrari can cling to the uncertainty that has always reigned in Baku, a track where there is always plenty to catch.

Since it is an urban track, with a very narrow and twisty secondary sector in the area of ​​the wall and castle, any mistake can result in an accident causing the ‘Safety Car’ to enter the scene and change everything.

And pay attention to the wheels. Having never walked yet, last year the race was stopped with a red flag with two more laps. Verstappenleading, blew the wheel like he did Take a walk. And in the last introduction, hamilton he made a mistake on a button and Pérez won. Pirelli has already warned teams about using it. The cars will put the same tires Monaco, but in this case at high speed. What happened in 2021 should serve as a warning to everyone on a track which includes Alpine Fernando Alonso and Esteban OconThey will try to approach Mercedes.

At the back of Ferrari and Red Bull, Mercedes It starts as the third best car ahead of a central spot where the battle will once again be fierce. Ferdinand back to a stage where in 2022 he gave a recital at the last start, getting four positions in two corners to be sixth with a Alpine which is not even close to that position. It will try to maximize the performance of a car that surprised yesterday by showcasing pontoons in style red bull, but with a more intense concept, with large rectangular air intakes and larger gills to increase engine cooling, which in Baku is extremely key. Let’s see if there is such a thing and on the new floor Alpine premiered in Monaco the French team manages to improve its performance in the final appointments.
