Towards the season finale with focus on 2023. This is the mindset of most Formula One teams preparing for the fourth to last round of this season. You fly to America, to Texas, to Austin, for a grand prix that has always provided a great show.
The controversy reignites
America will therefore be the first stop to welcome Max Verstappen world champion, but it will also be the first date after the FIA's announcement on the matter Red Bull budget cap. It will in fact be very interesting to try to understand the various opinions of the teams (Ferrari and Mercedes above all) who are assisting with particular attention to the situation.
All in the USA
Coming instead to the track, Max Verstappen will try to keep winning and, therefore, writing history. Leaving aside the budget cap case, the Dutch season it was amazing: never made a mistake and races carried out with a calm, mental level, which was the key to winning this second world championship. Nothing to do in fact for la Ferrari, who will however want to try to understand how to grow with a view to 2023. Il twenty-five Leclerc, freshly celebrated, in Austin he could officially become the driver with the most poles of the season, but despite this he is not world champion. From this data, which does the Monaco's credit, the race problem emerges for Ferrari who, already know, that the mistakes seen this year, in 2023, are unthinkable.
More updates
Instead, those who will try to find the right balance for this season are la Mercedes. In fact, very important updates are planned in Texas to try to understand if the W13 project can be considered a real failure. However, the Brackley team is super interested in the Red Bull issue, with Toto Wolff having already declared"Severe penalties? It means that I too will go too far...".
Friday for beginners
It will be a super special weekend, especially on Friday for free practice. In fact, the first session will give space to many rookie: in home Alfa Romeo Pourchaire will take the place of Bottas, while Alex palou will replace Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren (which will try to reach the Alpine in the standings). He's not a rookie, but Antonio will still have his hour of trial Giovinazzi who will lead the Haas.
