Sainz optimistic about Ferrari’s options in Las Vegas
Carlos Sainzafter the complicated Brazilian F1 GP, Las Vegas GP.He already pointed out this in a meeting with reporters a few weeks ago. las vegas circuit After a big win in Singapore and a good performance in Singapore, perhaps as a place where he can get the most out of his car. monza. Among other things, he did it on the long straights of this course. Even if you don’t have a lot of mileage, it will go well with a powerful engine. “The unknown” That meant arriving at the new course with as many questions as those raised by the cold temperatures of the asphalt that night. ‘Sin City’.
“We’ve done a lot of work in the simulator and we’re looking forward to getting the safety car running to see how much dust there is and if there are any potholes there. It’s something you can feel and also know how slippery it is.” This Friday is for us too. ”the Madrid native pointed out with much higher expectations.
“Expectations are higher than in recent races, mainly because the circuit seemed to suit us better than in the last race.. It has long straights like Monza and tight corners like Monza and Singapore… maybe not as fast in the first two corners, but the Ferraris should be better on the rest of the track and , I hope that you will give us a good opportunity.” Carlos commented optimistically.
Ferrari has a car that has a very high top speed in a straight line, having already taken pole positions on top speed and minimum stress circuits like Monza. Sainz was the best in qualifying there, but couldn’t beat the two Red Bulls on race pace. Ferrari is expected to be able to fight for the best in one lap again, but could struggle further in the race.
At the moment, Carlos has already won his first trophy, which he won in the first golf “Netflix Cup” prior to this American event. The man from Madrid now wants to enjoy driving a red car.

“It’s been a fun week so far. Everyone knows I’m a huge golf fan, but at the Netflix Live Event (the first-ever Netflix Live Event), so many people… And to be able to play alongside professional players, “Winning it… was unbelievable. Good start, win, not so much as breaking the trophy… but we made it to the checkered flag.” “I’ve got a jacket with a badge on it. This is even better than a trophy,” he concluded in a preview of the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Although he has mixed feelings, he will approach the Las Vegas Grand Prix with completely different enthusiasm than before. In a press conference a few weeks ago, he had already singled out the Las Vegas circuit as a place where he could show his car to its fullest potential, following his impressive victory in Singapore and strong performance at Monza. Above all, he did it because the course’s long straights lend themselves to powerful engines if they don’t suffer from high mileage, and also because it means arriving at a new course with a lot of mileage. It was because of the “unknown” of doing so. The cool temperature of the asphalt at night in “Sin City” created doubt in the air.
“We’ve done a lot of work in the simulator and we’re looking forward to the safety car seeing how much dust there is and if there are any potholes there. “It’s something you can feel and also to know how slippery it is. “It will be there for us this Friday,” said Madrid with much higher expectations.
“I’m more hopeful than recent races, mainly because this circuit seems to suit us better than the last one. We’ve got long straights like Monza, we’ve got some tight straights like Monza and Singapore. There are some corners…maybe in both first corners we will be us.”It may not be that fast, but for the rest of the track the Ferrari should be better and that’s good for us.” I hope they give me a chance,” Carlos commented optimistically.

A former Ferrari engineer has joined the new F1 team. Worked at Leclerc
Former Ferrari engineer Javi Marcos is returning to Formula 1 with a new key role in the Cadillac project.
The Spaniard was previously working as Charles Leclerc’s race engineer at Ferrari, but was replaced by Brian Bozzi ahead of the 2024 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. After that, Marcos decided to leave the Italian team and join Cadillac.
Last year, Marcos worked in the American manufacturer’s WEC and IMSA programs and was also officially appointed technical director of Cadillac’s LMDh project.
However, it is now known that he will focus on Formula 1 again. According to sources, Marcos has been appointed chief racing engineer of the future Cadillac team, which will enter the championship in 2026.
Cadillac will join the peloton as its 11th Formula 1 team. The American team, which will use Ferrari power plants in the first seasons, will switch to its own engines in partnership with General Motors from 2028.
The team had previously confirmed that Carlo Pasetti and John Howard would serve as race engineers for Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez respectively. Marcos will serve in a position above them and will coordinate the work of the engineering staff.

Former pilot chose the only pilot who can compete with Schumacher
Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher shared his views on the best drivers in the history of the championship, naming Max Verstappen and his brother Michael Schumacher as the two best drivers he has seen in F1.
According to the 50-year-old German, this special duo; It will be an ideal combination in terms of speed, stability and mental toughness.
Schumacher said: “My brother and Max Verstappen. It would be very interesting. They would get along well because they are both at the top level and at the same time very reasonable. I think it will be a healthy but tough fight. If we talk purely about skill, these are two of the best drivers I have seen in Formula 1.”
The former racer also highlighted the key characteristic he believes distinguishes Williams, Verstappen and Michael Schumacher from the rest: the ability to consistently be at their best in crucial moments.
“The ability to perform under pressure, always being faster than your teammate and getting the best out of the car and the team – that’s what sets them apart,” he added.
Both drivers have long been regarded as some of the best in Formula One history. Michael Schumacher won seven championships, five of which were with Ferrari. Verstappen now has four titles.

Verstappen criticizes McLaren’s approach to title fight
Max Verstappen said that being the only Red Bull driver who can challenge McLaren in the 2025 Formula 1 season is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.
In 2025, the Milton Keynes team again tried to solve the problem of the second car. However, the experiment with Liam Lawson failed – after two unsuccessful weekends, the New Zealander was replaced by Yuki Tsunoda.
However, the Japanese racer has not been able to perform at a consistently high level. Red Bull therefore decided to move Tsunoda to the reserve driver role in 2026, betting on Isak Hajjar.
Verstappen was forced to face McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri alone in the second half of the season, launching a surprise comeback to the title challenge.
Although Red Bull does not have a second car in the leading group for a more flexible strategy, Verstappen believes his status as the sole favorite has helped him.
“When you are alone you can attack and be much more aggressive. I always prefer that,” Verstappen said.
“If we’re almost equal in speed then I can only wish them luck because then you’ll start to work out the issues between you.”
The four-time world champion also emphasized that Norris and Piastri regularly take points away from each other, while McLaren’s driver parity policy makes strategic decisions difficult for the team.
Therefore, according to Verstappen, he would always determine the hierarchy in the team.
“If I were the team leader, I would always clearly define numbers one and two,” the Dutchman said.
“Of course, the second driver needs to collect enough points to compete for the constructors’ championship. But there needs to be a hierarchy.”
According to Verstappen, it was the lack of such an approach that cost McLaren some of its strategic advantages.
“They lost some of their strategic capabilities because they had two equal pilots. Of course, we benefited from that.”
