F1 Monaco GP: Sainz, 1 / 70,000

He stays at home and spends Ferrari, which started as a favorite at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, in front of his people, exactly as he grew up and always wanted to win. Last year, he himself was unable to start from Paul due to an accident in the previous day’s qualifying and ended up praising Sainz under the podium in second place. This year was after he was abandoned in Barcelona when he was leading the race. It lost him World Cup victory and leadership. He hoped to make up for it at his home, dominating his Ferrari F1-75 in Free Practice 1 and defeating “Czech” Perez Red Bull by only 1 / 39,000 and Carlos Sainz by 1 / 70,000. I did.

The start of the Spanish driver was positive. The circuit is so complicated and error-free and the walls are so close that it is a complicated scenario for the Spaniards after a mistake in the last round, such as a spin on turn 4 at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix. It looked like. GP. He’s still far from his style and is very confident in the oversteer car, but with this Monaco truck Carlos started to feel very good. The layout is different from all of them, which may explain why Carlos is more comfortable on this track.

Nonetheless, both Carlos and all the drivers on the grid suffered a lot with these new cars. Some F1 cars are far from ideal for such trucks. The car is too big and heavy, and the biggest downforce of the year comes from the ground, which requires speed to generate the load. As a result, these single-seaters have many problems in slow corners, like buses pass through narrow corners. And that’s what everyone noticed, with multiple braking passes on turn one, in the chicane of the pool’s descent. And in addition to that, you need to add the huge rebound that everyone had in their car. For example, when Hamilton arrived in the pits, he waved to show clearly how much it would cost to get the car on track. A real challenge.

At Ferrari, Sainz’s mechanics were seen working to make the front of his car even softer during the first session of many adjustments when the driver began to approach the dreaded wall.

Verstappen, 4th in 0 minutes 181 seconds

It’s early, but I can’t come to a conclusion yet. Verstappen is fourth with 0,181 and more is expected from the Dutch, but whether Red Bull can improve its performance in one lap against Ferrari, which is popular for its excellent performance in slow corners. Still do not know. Max grabbed the handle of the previous press and said, your main goal should be “maximizing the points”. Think of it like a World Cup leader.

The fifth was Lando Norris. He was absent from the previous press conference because of his condition because he was already suffering from complex tonsillitis at the Barcelona race this Friday morning. 6th was Guthrie, 8th ahead of Ricardo (7th) and Russell, the first Mercedes. Mercedes’ advance in Barcelona was great, but in Monaco, which is not a very typical track, it should suffer more. So far, Russell has continued to do well against Lewis, starting again ahead of the seven-time champion, and Hamilton is in tenth place, almost three-tenths.

Alonzo, 13th

Alonso was 13th and Alpine’s teammates were 16th. Start far from the best for the two French cars that should suffer this weekend due to their worse performance in the slow corners of the GP where they are using the new ground.
