Approach the Mc Laren that seem dominant: it is the goal of Leclerc and Hamilton who experience the new fund and hope to confirm the positive tradition of the reds in the GP where they have already triumphed seven times
The first three great prizes were disastrous for the Ferraris even if in Suzuka, Japan, something better has been seen and the reds approached McLaren and Red Bull. Now the Circus of Formula 1 lands in Bahrain and despite the ranking of the world championship it is already very penalizing for the reds there are reasons to hope that it will be the Renaissance Grand Prix. In the free practice of Friday, Mc Laren are still in front of everyone, but immediately behind there is Leclerc’s Ferrari (fourth place) preceded by Russel’s Mercedes. The impression is that the only place at stake is the third of the podium, because the first two, unless sensational surprises, will still be Mc Laren of Norris and Piastri. But the race often denies the tests of the tests and the Bahrein is a lucky circuit for Ferrari. Here in five points, because you can hope for the rebirth of the Ferraris.
Hamilton’s enthusiasm The Englishman had all deluded with the victory in the sprint, but then he was unable to follow up on that result. But he is working incessantly with the team and Bahrain is expected to turn. Lewis on every occasion tells the great energy he warns every time he sets foot in Maranello. He is making a great effort to understand our culture and has admitted that he has some problems with the language, even if he has assured that he is doing everything to learn Italian. Meanwhile, in Bahrein he showed up with a new hair
The desire for revenge of Charles The Monegasque who had come out very disappointed by China, in Japan with fourth place he raised his head and in him there is a great desire for revenge for the false departure in this world championship. In Bahrein he has already won in 2022 and Suzuka’s fourth place was the first flash of the season, even if much more is expected of him. The internal rivalry with Hamilton? Leclerc’s tendency to be insistent with the team, when things are not going as hoped, could prove counterproductive. The key to Charles’ success will therefore be its ability to adapt and collaborate, maintaining a balance between personal ambition and team objectives.
The new fund that divides Inside the team during the week, a debate was opened on the usefulness of using the new bottom in Bahrein. It seems that the technical director Loic Serra and Team Principal Fred Vasseur were not entirely convinced of introducing the new solutions, taking care instead of the balance of the car. New fund and speaker is hoped to give an important contribution to the improvement of the new SF-25.
The Bahrain Favorable Red Lunger The hope of Ferrari in Bahrain, with Schumacher’s victory in the first edition of 2004 and then six other red successes with Massa (2007 and 2008), Vettel (2017-2018), Alonso (2010) and Leclerc (2022) as well as 622) as well as 6 pole positions, 6 fast laps and 17 total podiums. Then there is the variable of the heat, which in the past was an ally of Ferrari and this time who knows
Worldwide to keep open Despite the false departure, the World Cup is still open and Ferrari has to quickly recover the disadvantaged points from Mc Laren and Red Bull, especially in order not to get to the summer too far from the first. The revolution of the machines in 2026 with the new regulations would in fact force the teams cut off from the first places more to focus on the machine of the future than on that of 2025. For Leclerc and Hamilton it would be a great reason for frustration.
