Verstappen back to normal, Sainz remains sweet, Alonso 6th
max verstappen That put an end to all speculation.In the past F1 Singapore GP, FIA Just as Red Bull announced a new technical directive due to suspicions that some teams may have breached the regulations by using flexible front and rear wings to gain more downforce, I lost my first race of the year.Them Milton Keynes They revealed that it was a complete coincidence. In Japan, speculation will skyrocket unless Red Bull has a clear advantage.and max verstappen dominated their first free practice session with an iron fist and was responsible for nipping them in the bud. Japan GP. He accomplished it by more than six-tenths, clearly ahead of the second place, which was first among mortals. Carlos Sainz.
2nd place Sainz starts on his right foot
Verstappen will be the big favorite this weekend and it will be very difficult for anyone to beat him. But beyond Max, on another planet, he’s on top. Carlos Sainz. Also, After good races in Zandvoort and Monza and a big win in Singapore, the Spaniard first showed his current excellent level of form, finishing second.he beat the McLaren of Lando Norris, who was expected to do well here, by just over a tenth, and once again dominated the battle with teammate Charles Leclerc, who had taken an “excursion” in the gravel outside the Suzuka Fork.
In the session marked by water, Sainz was 0.626 seconds off his best time, while Monaco was 0.927 seconds off. Although this was not yet representative in terms of time, it once again proved that: Carlos initially felt much easier with the car and should once again help propel the ‘Rossa’ team’s wagon as they search for the right settings and balance for this Grand Prix.
Charles has already explained after Singapore that in order to improve the performance of this car, he needs more understeer and less oversteer, which means going against his own driving style, and on that point Now he is not satisfied with this car and feels he is taking a step forward. Away from the huge Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard started on the right foot and led the chase group on Saturday with a car capable of achieving a great result within one turn. However, it will suffer again in the race as it fared even worse against McLaren and Mercedes on tracks where overtaking options were available.
Alonso, 6th place
Local AlphaTauri driver Tsunoda achieved an incredible 5th place. Fernando Alonso, on the other hand, finished sixth with a score of 1.003, just 1/60,000 ahead of Oscar Piastri.
The Asturian is hoping to return to action in the chasing group after suffering damage to his car from the second lap in the Singapore race. This track should not be as accommodating to the car as it is in Singapore, and although the moment has begun, it should suffer more. In the mix of chasing, two Mercedes cars hid in FP1, waiting for them to emerge. George Russell was 13th, 1.6 seconds off his best, and Lewis Hamilton was 16th, 2 seconds behind his best.Although these results were completely unrealistic, both of them should have been in the top ranks, and “Czech” Perez was also 2nd. You have to fight your own car for first place. It’s about finding the right set-up to get as close as possible to Verstappen on another planet.
