It is still America, albeit central, for F1 preparing for the race in Mexico City. Mexican GP. Round 20 of the World Championship is, in fact, at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez where Lando Norris will try to close further on Max Verstappen and where Ferrari will try to further fuel the dream called the World Championship.
Ferrari, a global dream
Dreaming sometimes costs nothing, we repeat. And after the Stars and Stripes victory, with Charles Leclerc’s success at the United States GP in Austin, Ferrari is thinking about it. Yes, because the Monegasque’s performance on American soil raised hopes, especially given what happened behind him where Norris and Verstappen battled it out, the Dutchman triumphing only thanks to the Briton’s penalty. And the Red team enjoyed it, with Sainz even scoring a double behind his teammate.
An Anglo-Dutch battle that will surely keep the world title race alive for as long as possible, the gap between the two is 60 points, while Leclerc is 79 points clear of Verstappen.. But what seems most within Prancing Horse’s reach at the moment, frankly, is. Builders title.
The Red Team is, in fact, in a race with McLaren and Red Bull, with the Papaya team leading the Austrian team by +40 on 544 points. Ferrari, on the other hand, has 496, so just 48 less than McLaren. And judging by the recently collected results, as mentioned at the beginning, there is no cost to dreaming.
Even if the team is principal. Frederick Visor He doesn’t want to hear predictions: “We don’t think about the championship and I want to keep that mentality in the team because I think it’s important to focus on pure performance, session after session, and the championship. Not to be done. If anything can come to mind, it will be more than the day’s performance from an overall championship perspective. We know very well that next week will be a completely different challenge.”
“What I want – explains Visor – is that people take more risks and have the power to take risks. Certainly, we have to improve, we have done some things to improve and this mentality must be maintained.”
