F1 Testing: Lewis Hamilton positivity tempered by faulty Ferrari, McLaren and Lando Norris favourites? | F1 News happymamay

Three days after the pre -season test in Bahrain, Sky SPORTS F1 The main conversation points analysis of the event.

Positive Hamilton reduced the wrong Ferrari conclusion

A lot of anticipation revolves before the new Formula 1 season about Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, and this noise certainly did not show any signs of a decline in the test.

We have already seen his iconic first pictures in MARANELO, and we have seen running in old cars, and we heard his first ideas about what was the early life in the most famous F1 team, but this week was what would always provide early answers to one of the biggest questions – how would he get the first Ferrari?

I made a handful of moments out of the track during the first morning a little start in Bahrain for Hilmlton, but he put the second finest on the second picnic, and then he said that he was “really enjoying” SF-25 and “slowly bonding” with it.

He went further after the afternoon on the last day, saying: “I would like to say that this is the most positive feeling that I felt long ago.”

Meanwhile, Hamilton has repeatedly emphasized that, only six weeks of his new job adventure, he still has a lot to know not only his new car in Ferrari but their places and work practices. In fact, having to absorb a lot of new information, describes every day in Ferrari as much as “importance”.

At the same press conference at lunch on Friday, he spoke enthusiastically about completing the first race simulation of the team when he moved to the path. However, perhaps in the first setback in its preparations, which has never been achieved by operating it in the afternoon, which includes only 47 rolls and Ferrari ends the test a little early behind the screens in their garage.

What is the result, if any, which will be achieved by the long -term loss for Hilmlton and Ferrari heading to the first great moment of their relationship to Melbourne.

McLaren stands out after Norris Stint

The main addresses are often created in the test through the fastest times, but the most news information is hidden anywhere else.

During the three days, there was one run in particular that caught the attention of those who study the roll data, and it belongs to McLaren’s Lando Norris.

On Thursday afternoon, he assembled the race simulation that convinced the ring that the Banatian heroes are still the team that wins to go to the new season.

Andrea Stella, the director of the McLaren team, tried to run in the range as he indicated that the circumstances were perfect, but whoever is the best hope for the championship at a similar time and they were unable to keep pace with the pace of Norris.

“Norris is the stranger,” Sky SPORTS F1’s Caron Chandoc said at the time. “It is very fast in his last work.”

From their launch at Silverstone on February 13th, there has been confidence and guarantee about everything that McLaren said and his actions.

This is in a great contradiction with the past two years, suggests that Lando Norris and Oscar Pastari will not have to play an attachment this time.

With regard to noise from Red Ball

In the test, the two teams were expected to pose the biggest threat to defend the crown of their construction, Ferrari and Red Ball.

Ferrari was their moments, and while they did not show anything similar to simulating the Norris race before the cases of Hamilton on Friday afternoon, there is still a lot of positivity emanating from the Italian team camp.

For Red Bull, who was very strong in the test in 2023 and 2024, most of them gave Verstapen the title before the opening race, their 2025 experience was a noticeable contrast.

While every one driver struggled with issues sometimes, especially in loud conditions, Red Bull was significantly difficult.

Both Verstapen and Layam Lawson were rotating, but most importantly, they were regularly struggling to maintain control of RB21.

Versappen has shown some speed on Friday evening, but Russell Mercedes, who could not have imagined in the past two years in the past two years.

But perhaps the most surprising thing is the words that came from the coach of Red Bull Pierre Wache in the post -event version.

He said: “It was not a smooth test as we expected and expected the team, but it is better to find some problems here more than the subsequent whip and for this reason we are here, to understand the car.”

Although nothing is guaranteed, such a statement may hint that Red Bull will start the season on the back foot, at least compared to what they are used to.

Antonelli shines between the young people

Among the six “junior” tests, there was a person who undoubtedly attracted more attention from others – Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

The 18 -year -old Italian Toto Wolf was chosen as a talent for generations, and the early signs were positive.

By all the standards, and what is surprising for those who knew anything about him, Antonelle was very quickly.

There were moments of dipping, which will undoubtedly be a lot of this season because it ships an aggressive leadership style, but Antonelli showed enough to suggest that Wolf will not regret his gamble.

“With Kimi Antonlle, I think there is a brilliance there, a special charm,” Sky SPORTS F1’s Caron Chandoc said.

Lawson was strong, but there were signs that the fatwa between New Zealand and his teammate at Verstapen would be somewhat important – his job will be to close it gradually.

He ranked the best time per week for Olver Berman in the first place, but this did not tell the full story because the British were deprived of the opportunity to go to perform some problems for Haas.

Gabriel Portolito appears to be a bullfield in the bull race, to make a strong progress in the right track.

The word in the circuit was that Jack Douuhan had failed to disperse an unfortunate speculation of his future in the Alps, while waiting for Franco Kulapinto in the wings if the Australian did not fulfill the harsh fullavio projections.

Alpine Mountains, Williams on the right track

The Biatore series is likely to be encouraged not only by the fact that the Alps team appears to be above.

After the first bleak half of 2024, the Enstone Squad team was scheduled to start this season in a much better condition, and may fight for regular points at the front of the midfield.

It is a team with a similar modern story, at least in terms of form, tending to fight them for this position as the best.

After he started last season last season, a problem that is exposed to chaos, Williams seems more organized this time.

It seems that Carlos Science has quickly settled in life in his new team, and there is no doubt that the quality assortment he forms alongside Alex Alex will make Williams difficult to overcome other midfield teams.

On the contrary, the Aston Martin appears from the wonderful start for the 2023 season is to be drowned for more depths after a miserable test.

Adrian New has a lot of work to do when he takes his role with the team next week, but even the legendary designer may accept in 2025 as a lost cause and focuses his energy on the new regulations for the next year.
