“If Ferrari doesn’t improve the car, Red Bull will be champions” – Motor sports – Sportacentrs.com

Former F1 driver and current Sky Sports expert Brandl admits Miami stage winner Max Verstapen and runner-up Charles Lecherer once again demonstrated high performance, but it was clear that Ferrari lacked speed in the straight. As a result, Red Bull can save tires on corners without worrying about straightforward hazards.

“This was again a very impressive and mature performance for both Verstapen and Clecker, but Ferrari drivers can no longer overtake it, as Clecker did with Verstapen in Bahrain,” says Brandl. “This gives Max and his teammate Serhio Peres a comfort zone, as they can keep track of tire wear and think more about the race as a whole, knowing that there is a relatively low risk of losing their position in the straight.”

He continues: “Charles and Ferrari were once again the fastest combination to secure the first place, but neither did the Ferrari team, with the DRS wing closed or open, again had nothing to do with Red Bull’s miraculous straight-ahead speed. Unless they solve it by reducing aerodynamic counterweight, Red Bull will win the World Cup. “

And Ferrari is really planning to make improvements to its cars at the next stage of F1 in Barcelona. The team’s boss Matija Binoto believes that the Red Bull formula is currently 0.2 seconds faster in the lap, but this advantage may disappear in the next race.

“I have always said that it is necessary to wait for the first five stages, and then it will be possible to see the balance of power between the machines, between the teams,” says Binoto. “Now that five races are over, Ferrari is in the lead in both championship standings, which is great. We can’t be disappointed, but the truth is that Red Bull has managed to improve their car. They’ve been coming since the start of the season. If we take the last two stages, they have become about 0.2 seconds faster than we are in. It is clear that in order to maintain the speed we need, we need to innovate. “I think it’s no surprise that we’re preparing a very important upgrade package for Barcelona. I hope it works as planned. In that case, we’ll be able to reduce the deficit that has now reached the Red Bull team.”
