Week off and back on track with the F1. After the third event of the season in Australia, characterized by the Ferrari double, we fly to Suzuka which, unlike the other seasons, will take place in April. A stage that will say a lot especially about the hierarchies on the track. In fact, there are several teams called to redemption, as well as those who must try to ensure that Melbourne is a starting point. Precisely for this reason, the appointment in Suzuka with the F1 Japanese GP it is unmissable, despite the times are not favorable to the Europeans.
Ferrari, continuity objective
The redhead has one big goal: to leave Australia again. Carlos Sainz he undoubtedly enjoyed the victory achieved at Albert Park, as well as Leclerc he left Melbourne quite satisfied with the second place achieved. SuzukaIn reality, it shouldn't be a particularly favorable track for Ferrari, but Vasseur has repeatedly reiterated the strength of the new SF-24 and how we have yet to see the full potential of the car from the Maranello team.
Red Bull called to restart
The one who absolutely needs to cancel the Australian GP is Red Bull. In this respect, the Milton Keynes team advisor Marko he had no doubts: “Max Verstappen will return to dominance at Suzuka", He admitted. For the RB20 the Japan stage should smile on their car. The last word, however, as always, belongs to the track, the only one that will really tell us if Red Bull has finally returned to dictating the law, as it did in Bahrain and Arabia, or if the situation really needs to start to get complicated .
And the others?
Great curiosity for both McLaren that for Mercedes. The Woking team has just returned from a very positive weekend in Australia, which ended behind Ferrari with an excellent Norris and also a good Piastri. Completely opposite story for Mercedes, with the two retirements in Melbourne which must sound the shock following a truly forgettable start to the season.
