No one exceeds Sainz on the last day of the trial, McLaren ends as a favorite and Aston Martin de Alonso no Shines

The Three days of pre -Season F1 They ended up and the next pilots would climb their vehicles in the middle of -March, which The first Grand Prix of the season, in Australia. It will come with some (some) conclusions after some somewhat strange and atypical trials, marked by difficult conditions of A different strange track of Bahrain from Melbourne’s And by cars that are a pure evolution of graduates of 2024, along with regulatory changes of 2026 around the corner.

George Russell He closed the preseason that achieved the best Chrono of the last day, which exceeded Max verstappen for 21 thousand, but Without improving the time Carlos Sainz achieved the second day. Madrid, with his new Williams, was left with the best chrono of the global trial, but not true. The team of Grove may be more than remaining spin with less loading, also On a last day on which Carlos’s partner Alex Albon, graduated with the third. Sainz did not roll this Friday and Alonso finished George’s 16th AA 2 “539 time, with 82 turns, without looking at Chrono and focused on settings, batches with hard rubber and experiments. The times are anecdotal in some trials and to draw conclusions you need to look across.

Finishing F1 2025 Test Day

Perhaps, changes in vehicles are more visual than performance. Cars have improved, but the last year of regulations, It’s hard for a big jump or surprise to change everything. Not yet. After these trials, The order seems to be the same as at the end of last year, with good four aboveAlthough, perhaps, the most noticeable -noticeable thing is that McLaren seems to have taken a subsequent step forward than his rivals even though they all are hiding their letters.

In a lap, you can get non -conclusions conclusions because teams also haven’t tried soft tires. The cars during this time are for the hand, nor do they go for a glorious return. But in a career rhythm, the orange team is scary.

Norris razed his rivals to racing simulation on Thursday and Oscar Piastri He combined the great rhythm in the long batch of his car this Friday. Following -next seems to be clear: the part of McLaren as a favorite for the start of the World Cup against teams such as Ferrari and Mercedes behind a very well. With the red car, Hamilton He was more comfortable than his previous silver car, but no one knew if he would have enough car to go for the title against such a competitive McLaren. And should also have a red bull that Verstappen He made sure he was more unpredictable and better than the car last year, but in these trials he did not teach many letters.

Max won without the best car, with a car that gave him many problems in 2024 against Norris. And this year, the equality of the above can be huge again, though with Lando since the beginning of the best car, with the doubt to find out if what seen in Bahrain could change in a variety of clues and with different conditions, as happened last year.

The English will have a second chance to defeat Tetracampeon and should leave with better weapons than a year ago. But again, evolution throughout the course and how much they decide to focus on the teams rather than just think of creating an important 2026 car can make differences.

A tight average zone: Williams stands?

From there, after the best four, Williams shows as a strong candidate to begin the year leading to the central zone, fighting for the final positions of Q3 and points in the top 10. But again, the equality of this area seems to be overwhelming and the next -time can vary not only because of the type of track, also, as Alonso said, for the Evolution. Aston Martin looks worse after a test where the green car does not shine. Fernando ended with 82 turns in the 16th area and has a change of final plan.

He had to roll in the afternoon, finally rolling in the morning because Stoll was wrong and Asturian remained without driving that night session because Lance wanted to try, but in the end, the Spaniards had to return to the car because Lance couldn’t do it. It can be avoided.

Reducing this time from the green picture to conduct a race simulation and go to Australia without it. But Alonso asks for calm. Claim that “Don’t worry”, Certainly the image can be the same as what was seen at the end of 2024, with an “average in a cloudy place” where possible points “for the perfect weekend.” And from there, unlike 2024, he believes that with Adrian Newey in the factory (starting to work this Monday), Aston Martin will find the key to evolution to make a jump, somehow standing in that place. Everyone will look for it, even though the priority is 2026, the great opportunity to change the decline of the forces for massive change of regulations for cars and motorcycles.
