The Cavallino must think about the future by exploiting the experience of the English pilot. Meanwhile, the World Cup played the McLaren pilots …
We are in the middle of the book, but on how the main story will end, everything has already been understood. The Great Britain GP yesterday, the twelfth appointment on the twenty -four on the calendar, has certified that the World Cup is a question between the two McLaren drivers, that Verstappen’s miracles are no longer sufficient for the current Red Bull and that Ferrari needs tranquility and reorder the ideas to concentrate especially on 2026. Let’s start with the horse. Despite the work and the developments, the blanket of the SF-25 remains short: Silverstone had deluded on the hunt for pole and in return gave a fair disappointment (thanks to the weather) on the race step. From the winter tests in Bahrain to today, all possible and imaginable structures have been explored without ever finding the solution and absolute competitiveness, a sign that the problem of the single -seater does not depend only on some details. A new rear suspension will arrive at Spa but thinking that it can bring the red to an instant to height McLaren is unreasonable. The recipe is simple and requires great patience: every technical intervention must be aimed at the car next year, using the second half of the season to integrate more and more Hamilton in the team and to recover Leclerc who in England has lived two rather difficult days.
Lewis’ experience
–
Consistency is needed: to hire Lewis – which since 2008 has won seven world championships while Ferrari in the meantime has brought home zero – means accepting, and therefore marrying, her vision of work and car. Those who want everything immediately, and do not know how F1 works, considers its difficulties with a single -seater too inconstant in its behavior as a consequence of a decline in the champions of the past. But what English has been preaching for a while – since he framed the situation in Maranello – is a change of philosophy, a less extreme future project, with a good load base that can make life easier to life easier, which are not scarce. Something would serve as bread also to Leclerc, who, with blows of frustrations and suffering, came to mortify himself (Saturday after qualifying) and attempting a move at the limits of the desperate (yesterday, with the tire change after the reconnaissance tour in the race). Always run beyond the limit, when the stability of the retrotrean goes and is also exposed to errors and indecisions also clear talents like his. The Monegasque will also be the most severe judge of himself, and makes him honor, but self -esteem in sport remains fundamental: Charles must be calmed and recharged.
Duel McLaren
–
The consolation of the day for Ferrari comes from having elongated in second place in the manufacturers’ standings: from + 1 to +12 on the Mercedes, with the help of the strategic “suicide” of the silver arrows. But the gaze must be pointed with decision and without fear towards the future. Also because the world championship practice now concerns only Piastri and Norris. Verstappen, who in Silverstone took the pole as a phenomenon, considerably downloading the rear wing, in the race struggled: one account is traveling on the wire for a dry lap, another for the 300 km and besides an entire race. The rain did not help Max, but the McLaren were objectively unapproachable for everyone. Now, with only 8 points between Oscar and Lando, they will only have their Team Principal Andrea Stella to have problems, to whom many congratulations must be made for what he and Zak Brown (the number one of the Woking team) have created. We will see if and how much picstri (yesterday author of an error cost very expensive) and Norris will hold the pressure of a very close duel, and already hot in Canada and Austria. It has become the theme of the season. While the interest, with the passage of time, will move to the market: because the contacts between Mercedes and Verstappen, never denied with due strength on both sides, can lead to an authentic revolution in the balance of F.1.
