A role reversal between Mercedes and Red Bull, plus a long road back for Ferrari and McLaren. Conclusions so far from F1 2023 season...
The rate of Aston Martin’s has been breathtaking, shattering F1’s glass ceiling in a fashion few no longer thought possible and even taking Alonso himself by surprise.
No matter where this leads, Alonso is set to be rewarded for his utter refusal to stop chasing that setting sun.As the debate surrounding Mercedes’ car concept continues apace, why is the same conversation not enveloping Ferrari? Still awaiting a first podium finish of the season, at least Ferrari can consider themselves in a better position than old foes McLaren, who braced themselves for a challenging start after missing development targets over the winter.
Their stumble at the start of this season, however, acts as a reminder of just how far Ferrari and McLaren have fallen – and how both teams face a long road back.When he costs your F1 team a place in the Constructors’ Championship for two seasons running, that’s when. Or when he ‘foksmashes’ a couple of chassis in quick succession to ramp up an eye-watering repair bill.
Meanwhile, a team like Haas – with eyes only on the present – had no time to wait and see exactly how good Schumacher could become over time in the right environment. – On the other side of the garage, Mercedes’ problems could prove a blessing in disguise for George Russell. His blueprint? Keep calm, stay positive and wait for Lewis and Merc to grow sick of each other. The team leader role will soon come his way.
