F1 | Hamilton hace saltar todas las alarmas en Mercedes
Mercedes tiene problemas en los test y gana el primer gran premio del año, sucedió en 2019 y 2021 (porque 2020 no es representativo, hubo un parón por la pandemia). Pero todo indica que esta vez los vigentes campeones de constructores no se están escondiendo, sino que hay detalles en el ‘set-up’ y la configuración del W13 que se les han escapado. El ‘porpoising’ es un problema grave que Ferrari y Red Bull han resuelto con garantías, pero la casa de Brackley no. Y Lewis Hamilton, en la rueda de prensa de este sábado, ha sido claro: «En este momento, no pienso que vayamos a competir por victorias. Hay potencial en nuestro coche para llegar ahí, pero tenemos que aprender para extraerlo». Que Red Bull haya incorporado mejoras que van en la dirección opuesta al Mercedes, en lo que a pontones se refiere, tampoco parece un gran síntoma.
