I grew up watching Equation 1 In the city Principality I’ve always dreamed of winning there someday. He was close when he won the pole in 2021, but was unable to start from the first position in the race due to an accident in “Quarry”. And a year later, he went home hoping to make up for it. Charles Leclerc has a clear mission this weekend and doesn’t want to fail.He lost World Cup leadership a week ago Barcelona Due to engine problems when he was leading the race.And on the first day Monaco GP, “Beginning” Revealed that he wants to fight back Verstappen Before his people. But to do so, he knows that everything must be done perfectly to defeat the very fast Sainz. It started in the qualifying session this Saturday (4pm).

The perfect movie script for the locals is to see the pilot succeed where he seems to be cursed. Two weeks ago, Niki Lauda’s first Ferrari crashed. This is the legendary 312B3 when the brakes were released in 1974. And so far, the best way for him to knock on a tree is to pray in front of the famous Monaco church and a few candles so that nothing goes wrong this weekend.

In that fight he will be again Carlos Sainz..A Madrid man who just made a mistake in a race in Barcelona last Sunday and is not used to it yet Ferrari As of 2022, I was able to pay for it on a circuit where it’s hard to get faster if you don’t trust your car. However, Carlos rarely suffered oversteer due to the characteristics of this track, catching up with Charles and he worked very well without any drawbacks. Leclerc He was able to set the time early due to traffic jams. later, Perez Overtaken in 2nd place Carlos It was influenced by traffic, but that was the time Ferrari Take a glimpse of the many letters he holds.

Italians revealed that they have more than just Red Bull. Carlos set the second fastest time on eight laps of soft rubber, and Leclerc set a record in the first sector, but had to stop due to traffic.

It’s an important classification, but anything can happen

Between the walls Principality Anything can happen.warning Ricardo At loasLibres2, which caused an accident in one of the pool variants. He lost his car and became a boom! Hit the wall. Leclerc He knows this. Because last year he hit the guard on the last lap and got pole position because he set the fastest lap in the last attempt. Perhaps the traffic that finds the same thing happening this Saturday or that all drivers are on track is important. What is clear is that the steering wheel of some cars, where the driver has suffered a lot to get on track, is very emotional.

In the first two sessions, many drivers were seen overbraking with a single-seater. Monaco.. This means that there will be no overtaking on Sunday and this Saturday’s classification and Sunday’s racing strategy will be key. A theory known to everyone, this Saturday’s “qualy” offers higher awards for other races. Everything is at stake. Leclerc and Sainz start out as big favorites. Charles was excellent at first, so he was much more comfortable than the Spaniards. But anything can happen.

Alonzo, 8th

The positive surprise of the second free practice session at the Monaco Grand Prix was Fernando Alonso and his Alpine. The Asturias driver was 8th, ahead of 13th, which started in FP1 on the weekend, and far superior to Ocon (18th in FP2), who had a hard time finding a good time. Alonso will have another difficult task before him trying to get into Q3 with a truck that doesn’t seem to be in his car’s favor in such a tight middle zone.

Formula 1. Presentation of the first Audi car. Watch LIVE online

One of the two new teams on the Formula 1 grid is preparing to introduce its car for the 2026 season. The Audi team will officially reveal the new car at a special event in Berlin on Tuesday, January 20.

Audi has fully taken over Sauber’s project ahead of the 2026 season and will start its first Formula 1 championship as a factory team and power unit manufacturer. The team has also retained a significant portion of its 2025 Sauber structure, including team boss Jonathan Whitley and drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg.

This will make Audi the fourth team to submit designs for its 2026 car, after Red Bull, Racing Bulls and Haas. The presentation will take place in the German capital in the format of a full-fledged seasonal launch.

Following the main event, a separate event will be held in Berlin on Wednesday, January 21 for selected fans and media to take a closer look at the new car and its livery.

The presentation will start on January 20 at 20:00 Kyiv time. During the event, the team will reveal the car’s full design for the 2026 season.

Let’s remember that Audi had previously put the 2026 car on the track during promotional races at the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit in early January, but only a limited number of images were released at that time.

Audi will pay 1 million 250 thousand Euros to the driver for winning the Formula 1 race

Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg can count on a multimillion-dollar bonus in his first season with Audi if he can repeat the results in the 2025 season.

Last season, the German pilot reached the Formula 1 podium after 250 races for the first time in his career and finished the British Grand Prix in third place. At Silverstone, Hulkenberg was ahead of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and scored 15 points in one go.

Hulkenberg scored 51 points at the end of the 2025 season.

On the eve of Audi’s first season, specialized media reported that the 38-year-old pilot signed a contract providing a bonus of 50 thousand euros for each point earned in the 2026 season.

Given the large-scale changes in Formula 1, even the pilots themselves cannot yet predict the balance of power in the peloton. However, if Hulkenberg scores 51 points again, the bonus can reach 2 million 550 thousand euros in addition to his base salary at Audi.

If Nico manages to win the race and score the maximum 25 points, this will immediately earn him a bonus of 1,250,000 euros.

The team will present the appearance of its first car today at 20:00 Kyiv time.

F1 pilot’s brother became Ukrainian pilot’s rival in Formula 4

Thomas Berman, the younger brother of Haas Formula 1 team driver Oliver Berman, will officially take part in Italian Formula 4 and Euro 4 in the 2026 season.

Thomas will represent the VAR team colours.

The 16-year-old Briton spent last year in British Formula 4, where he scored one win and finished eighth in the final season standings.

But the ones that are considered the most prestigious and promising are the Italian and European Formula 4 championships. They are often chosen by young pilots for further career advancement. In addition, Thomas’ older brother Oliver Berman also competed in these series and became the Italian Formula 4 champion in 2021 with 11 wins.

Let us also remind you that Ukrainian Alexander Bondarev will compete in the same championships with the Prima Racing team in the 2026 season. The Ukrainian pilot does not hide his ambitions and has repeatedly expressed his intention to fight for the championship title.

Bondarev now participates in Middle East Formula 4 in preparation for the European leg of the season. After the first stage, he took first place in the general rankings and became the leader in the rankings.

Thomas Berman will compete in the Formula Winter Series as part of his preparations.

The competition between the current “four” promises to be extremely high, and the appearance of the younger brother of the Formula 1 pilot will only increase interest in the series.
