It's that time again: F1 is back
English/Italian
A season that is just around the corner, which finds - thanks to the major change in rules since 2014 - the ground effect and its problems (proposing in the first place) seen the last time on track at the beginning of the '80s. During the tests, we have witnessed original and extreme solutions to try to subvert a starting order too obvious in recent seasons. Red Bull and Mercedes, despite the latter, continue to deny it are the favourites for the title, with Ferrari ready - after having well figured in the tests - to fit into the fight and make the fans rejoice after years of promises.
The battle to emerge at the centre of the group is tighter than ever, Mclaren does not seem to have the pace to trouble the first three teams but certainly will not fail to play its cards, as AlphaTauri is ready to confirm the growing trend and improve the 5th place of 2021.
Alpine and Aston Martin have shown at times their speed with the first - back to wearing pink thanks to BWT - spoiled by some mechanical problems too.
With steady growth, Williams has appeared with a strong focus on 2022 to start a new winning cycle and quickly forget the three-year nightmare. A nightmare that Haas experienced last year in terms of results and internal stability in the Pre Season, with the stormy leaves - cause of current War - of the Title Sponsor Uralkali and consequently Mazepin. In recent days both Schumacher and the returning Magnussen have shown good times and braked the fragile morale of the team made in the USA.
Last to present its single-seater and a strong candidate to close the Team 2022 standings, the Sauber aka Alfa Romeo F1 Team, sees at the start a renewed lineup, with the Rookie of the Year Zhou and the Finnish Bottas. The C42 has shown some boredom too and the descending parable does not seem to want to stop...
All that remains is to wait for the 15.00 PM (local time) to see the start of FP1 and officially kick off this 73rd Formula 1 World Championship.
Good Season to All
