The duel between defending champion Max Verstappen and Formula 1 leader Charles Leclerc should also determine the Spanish Grand Prix. In the sixth Formula 1 race of the year this Sunday, Ferrari driver Leclerc once again has to defend his top position in front of the Red Bull star.
Can Max Verstappen only stop himself?
The Dutchman has finished three times in the previous five races and won three times. Will that also work in Spain if his car remains as reliable as Verstappen would like? In the north of Barcelona, the now 24-year-old celebrated his first ever Grand Prix victory six years ago – and that on his first outing for Red Bull. “Hopefully we can follow the momentum of the last races,” said Verstappen now. He is 19 points behind Leclerc, who won the other two races of the season.
What gives ex-champion Hamilton and his Mercedes team hope?
The Silver Arrows are making progress. In Miami, the factory team had the third fastest car after it had started the year significantly worse. The suspended constructors’ world champion around record champion Lewis Hamilton is still looking for the right set-up for the difficult-to-drive car. Mercedes is confident “that we will take another step forward,” said motorsport boss Toto Wolff. They have “continued to experiment with the tuning and installed some new components. That gave us answers and clues as to which direction we need to go in,” said Austrian Wolff.
Will Sebastian Vettel get a significantly improved car?
Almost traditionally, Barcelona is the place where the teams present the first crucial improvements to their cars. This is also expected in Catalonia this weekend – including at Vettel’s Aston Martin racing team. England are among the weakest teams and need to catch up if they are not to be left behind by the end of the year. Due to delivery bottlenecks, it seems conceivable that only one driver will receive the complete upgrade package. And that should probably not be Vettel, but his teammate Lance Stroll, son of racing team co-owner Lawrence Stroll.
Will Mick Schumacher get his first World Cup points?
Countables were almost within reach for Schumacher in Miami before compatriot Vettel drove into his car and both Germans retired shortly before the end of the inaugural race in Floria. “It’s a shame for both of us,” Schumacher thought. In his second year in Formula 1, the 23-year-old may now be able to reward himself. At the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the son of the record world champion was already on the podium in his championship year in Formula 2. This weekend it should at least be enough for a place in the top ten. “There are exciting times ahead of us,” said Schumacher.
