May the challenge finally begin. Formula 1 is ready to officially restart this weekend with the Grand Prix in Bahrain. Many question marks, combined with curiosity in understanding how much of what was seen in the test it will be confirmed eventually.

From that moment in fact, it will be impossible to hide. The SF-23 showed some good things: during the tests it was confirmed that different set ups were tried, in order to understand which was the right path to take. There red it seemed to be more incisive in the flying lap, compared to the race pace with frequent degradation, but nevertheless for now from Maranello filters optimism.
Red Bull, goal to win
If the tests have raised curiosity about the true strength of Ferrari, let's say that at home Red Bull have been three perfect days. The Milton Keynes team he showed that he restarted from where he stopped: in front of everyone. During the tests, Verstappen he was the only rider with a very noticeable smile, as if he already knew about the strength of the new RB19. “We're talking about a true evolution of last year's car" - he has declared Horner, who was obviously very satisfied with the results brought home by his drivers and with the performance of the car. It's a Red Bull that does very well both in the flying lap and in the race pace. in which it seems absolutely impregnable.
Update chapter: different strategic plans
If Red Bull proves to be so strong, it is clear that there would be no rush to bring updates. In fact, last year, the package of aerodynamic innovations brought to the RB18 was present almost every weekend. This year it seems that there will be no changes until the Baku Grand Prix on 30 April. Ferrari, on the other hand, will anticipate the arrival of new components that, according to Vasseur, they will already arrive in Jeddah or Melbourne"The home base is good, but upgrades are planned until the end of the season. In any case, I expect that we will all have something already in Jeddah or Melbourne, I don't think it's a secret."
Ferrari-Red Bull, everything is ready
Different strategies and programs for now, but which choice will prove to be successful? All that remains is to wait a little longer and let the track speak: the only voice of the truth.
