Alonso smashes and scares the clock in Bahrain: best of day one

I don’t know if that is true. I don’t know the gasoline load and engine map.But Fernando Alonso fans and the whole formula 1 Watching the 41-year-old driver drive a green car with the same illusions he had when he was a child puts a smile on his face, full of tension and excitement. “What is 33?” I have to ask myself more than ever. It’s not for less. Fernando Alonso led the first day of free practice for Bahrain Grand Prix After finishing 2nd in Free Practice 1 in the morning, I won Free Practice 2 with the fastest time. Perhaps his empty petrol and higher top speed on the straight indicated that he showed more cards than his rivals.

It goes on rails and shows it.

in the long run Fernando Alonso It was so good that it can’t be compared. VerstappenEven Perez couldn’t do it in his rhythm! Alonso started rolling at 1’36”, beating Max in several turns and challenging him face to face with the current two-time champion. Although the tire wear is small after the 10th lap, red bull less deterioration Perhaps Mercedes boss Todo Wolff wasn’t wrong when he said that the Aston Martin was the second best car in the test. only behind red bull In the long run, the Dutchman’s performance in Friday’s free practice could beat Red Bull’s pace for second, even Perez’s, with better rhythm and more certainty. Mercedes and Ferrari.

In a mission with Aston Martin, Alonso seems to have a right to dream. you have to dress james bond This Saturday, we’ll tackle the hardest part. It’s about turning ever-higher expectations into reality. Ferdinand He asked on Thursday that his fans are keeping their feet on the ground and said they don’t have to think about podiums and wins.

Rebounding Ferraris: Leclerc fourth, Sainz 14th

This Saturday’s top group is Ferrari and mercedesBut his first day wasn’t as good as his first day Aston Martin. Leclerc finished fourth with a 0.460 Hearth of Hulkenberg (5 days), and stroll 6 days, hand pain Guthrie 7th, Hamilton 8th. Like Carlos Sainz, who was 14th in his Ferrari SF23, it is clear that both Lewis and Charles expect more. But the Italian left a sign that he still had a lot of homework to do. Their race pace was worse than Aston Martin’s, and Free Practice 2 no longer used the new rear wing, which had already caused problems in testing. Most worrying, however, was the huge rebound seen in the red cars, causing Carlos to spin in Free Practice 1, even at Turn 9.

Ferrari must try to rectify their initial misfortune, but Mercedes finished the day quietly with Hamilton in eighth and Russell in 13th. In this context, the big question is whether Alonso’s Aston his Martin can really beat Ferrari and Mercedes by his single lap. He has better race pace, but the podium could be complicated for the Spaniard if Alonso ends up seventh in the standings behind the black and red car.

New F1 team boss: “I am very happy that we chose Ferrari engines”

Cadillac team boss Grim Loudon has said the team will use a fully legal engine for the 2026 season, following controversy over Mercedes’ engine cheating allegations.

During the winter months, Mercedes, and possibly Red Bull, reportedly found a way to increase the engine compression ratio above the new 16:1 limit while the cars were on track. Moreover, during measurements made in boxes at normal temperatures, turning the compression to 16:1 provided an increase in power. At the Melbourne round it was estimated that this time could go up to 0.3 seconds per lap, or up to 17.4 seconds over the 58-lap circuit.

The new player in the championship, Cadillac, will be a customer of Ferrari and the team has already run the engine at Silverstone.

“I am very pleased and confident that we have a completely legal engine,” Loudon said.

“In these engines, combustion is not allowed to occur at a compression ratio of more than 16 to 1.
Without going into detail, we know that Ferrari complies fully with the rules and this gives us great confidence.

We work and support our engine partner at the maximum level in terms of performance. We are extremely pleased with the cooperation.

I can’t speak for other people’s engines or how others interpret the rules. But for me everything is extremely clear; everything is black and white.”

I have worked with Ferrari many times before; they are great partners. This is a legendary name in Formula 1. “All the people on this team are true racers, and we’re excited to welcome them to the Cadillac team.”

Formula 1 2026 Pre-Season Testing Program in Spain

Formula 1’s first pre-season tests before the 2026 season start on Monday, January 26, at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.

Due to the introduction of new regulations regarding powertrains and active aerodynamics, this year’s testing program starts earlier than usual ahead of the season’s opening race in Melbourne.

Instead of one three-day test, there will be three separate testing sessions before the Australian Grand Prix. The first of these will be a five-day closed test in Barcelona.

Testing will take place from January 26 to 30, but each team will only be allowed to practice on three of the five days.

While McLaren and Ferrari confirmed that they will not be on the track on the first day of testing, Williams will miss the Barcelona session completely after its decision to withdraw.

Daily races will take place between 10:00 and 18:00 Kyiv time. If weather conditions are suitable, work on the runway may be extended for another hour.
