Sooooooooooooooooooday!!! In just over an hour (7:00) the moment of truth will begin, the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix race. It seems that Aston Martin improvements have worked and Fernando Alonso will start fifth, on the clean side, having been only four thousandths behind Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard did a lap “beyond his capabilities” and after a great long run with the hardest tire there is excitement in Suzuka.
For his part, Carlos Sainz has continued to demonstrate that he is the first Ferrari driver this year and has once again defeated his teammate, Charles Leclerc who is still very lost with the SF-24. At the Scuderia they have done some great race simulations and, without knowing the fuel load, they were slightly better than the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. In Qualy, he placed fourth, and the Madrid native has announced that he is going for the podium.
McLaren appeared and Lando Norris achieved a third place, being superior to Ferrari, Mercedes y Aston Martin. Even so, the race pace was not as good as Sainz’s and he will be able to overtake him in the first laps. It is very difficult to draw conclusions about Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton y George Russell They could have been higher, since between fourth and eighth there is only one tenth. With the equality that exists, we are sure to see a very exciting race in Japan.
