Carlos Sainz has to leave Ferrari for the arrival of the 7 -time world champion Lewis Hamilton. She has a lot of ‘getting married’ and choosing right is complicated. I have to think about changing the policies of 2026, but there is also the best possible car for 2025. And at the moment, After a two -day preseason trial, the Spaniards seemed to have taken the right choice, at least in front of the 2025 campaign.
Carlos Sainz completed the second day of pre -Season Formula 1 2025 as the fastest of his former team’s two pilots, Hamilton, that is -2 up to 31 thousand with an hour marked in the morning, and Leclerc, third to 83 thousand In an attempt at night. However, less a real position. Times in a turn to trials do not have much Because everyone is hiding performance, some are more than others, and even some are not even for a competitive time. It serves to take a punctual joy, but little more. The best for Carlos are global sensations.
Williams looks good. Although no certain, fewer.
Bahrain is not a representative clue and less than overly cold and strong stock air conditions, two more elements that prevent and many reading times. Williams can be th -5 team in a circuit like Bahrain, but you have to see real car performance And, above all, in different clues. And the same goes for everyone.
Sorting Day 2 of Trial:
Aston Martin was not shown
The first position of the central zone is what Aston Martin wants. But for now, The green test is more careful. Silverstone’s painting is less, perhaps by his own will, focusing on data collection. And in that sense, the British press sends messages of calm and optimism. “The car is good. It’s not a McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari or Mercedes, but it’s enough for Alonso to do his work,” said Ted Kravitz, from Sky SportsIn this second session.
Alonso is at 5 am 1 “3 of the best Hamilton Chrono in the morning session And it’s been 11 since I didn’t shoot in the afternoon.
So far, Aston Martinclosed on the first day with only 88 turns, this time exceeds 100 laps with their two pilots, 45 for Alonso in the morning and 57 Take a walk In the afternoon. And positive this time it is Lance the chrono of asturian rolling in the afternoon when rolling in better conditions, which can mark the th -6 best time after Sainz, Hamilton, Leclerc And the two Mercedes of Russell and Antonelli.
McLaren, great blow to the table
Certainly, the car for now starts as a favorite: McLaren. Woking seems to have everything that is clear that they are not even for a competitive Chrono.
Norris is 14th, but it does not deceive you. If a Bahrain GP is played tomorrow, it gives McLaren to feel all the ballots to win. Although many things are still visible, such as the Red Bull, which should be shown this Friday with Verstappen on the wheel.
So far, in the absence of a real rhythm of classification, McLaren He gave the first big blow to the table of the shadow course, in the racing simulation, which exceeded Ferrari and Mercedes, which is more. In the long simulation batch, Norris It is faster and more parallel than the Ferrari of Leclerc in all its stints, both with C3 (medium), and in the hard compounds of two sequential batches (C2 and C1). The numbers are clear and strong.
Lando finished his first batch with C3 at 1’35 ”3 and Charles made it to 1’35” 9, with 6th tenth of the difference. The British finished the stint with C2 rubber on a 1’34 ”2 and made Leclerc in 1’34” 8, another 6th tenth. And in the final C1, the hardest tire, the difference is more insulting: Norris ends with a 1’32 “7 and Charles, at 1’34”, Unable to copy the ritmazo of 1’32 ”throughout its batch. Unless Leclerc has hidden the rhythm, the object painted the McLaren’s initial domain, at least, on this track, as it should be remembered that by 2024 the domain could change through circuits among the 4th best equipment, something that could be repeated in 2025.
Of course, the verstappen is waiting to get into the car on the last day of the preseason trial. This time he touched Lawson, who did not give a reference to a turn and could not provide a good race simulation reference to make the comparison to McLaren.
This is the morning session of Day 2, with Alonso on Track:
