After the week off, the Formula One is ready to return with two consecutive races before the summer break. There will be two Grands Prix, one in France and the other in Hungary, who will be able to say so much in world key.
Leclerc-Verstappen, where were we?
La Ferrari indeed, particularly with Charles Leclercgoes hunting of continuity. The victory achieved in Austria was essential to put the Monegasque right behind Verstappen fighting for the title. For the red therefore, the Castellets will represent a very important weekend to hold on to the title hope and to try and stop a Max Verstappen who, after Austria, will certainly want redemption. The same birthmark that will be present on Carlos Sainz. The Spanish driver was ready to give the Ferraristi a historic Sunday with a possible one-two finish, but a another reliability problem stopped him prematurely. The fight for the title for the Spaniard is getting more and more complicated, considering the possibility of mounting lto fourth power unit for the French GP, and set off then from the bottom.
Mercedes relies on France
At home, Ferrari and Red Bull are therefore ready to witness another great duel between Verstappen and Leclerc, but beware of the Mercedes. The Austrian Grand Prix was something to forget, obviously in terms of speed, for the Brackley team. And, if the porpoising problem seems to be solved, it is not excluded that France may be and represent an important step in putting pressure on the two top teams(Silverstone style).
