This year’s Formula 1 Pre -season test is slightly different. And I think it is associated with changes in the way of thinking.
On the other hand, the team is already focusing in 2026, and the large -scale challenges presented by the new regulations have been the largest change formula 1 for 50 years when Charistian Horner is co -changing.
If you need to know that you mean meaning at the same time as others, you don’t think you have given similar opinions on the 2014 power unit and 2022 ground effect cars. But regardless of the size of the task, regardless of whether Horner is right, it will already receive a lot of attention from the technical department.
Still, in the test, it’s not a focus change, which is what I say. It is associated with the way Grid expects 2025 to play in orbit.
All conversations on winter have been about how we can be set for the classic season, and it is difficult to argue with logic. Last year, four teams won several races. At that time, I finished 1-2.
Convergence generally occurs as a series of rules that F1 gains later, and heading to the last season of this rule points to be closer in the field. When you arrive in Bahrain, you do not want the team to complete the mileage and expect it.

A year ago, Mclaren, Ferrari and Mercedes all wanted to catch the Red Bull and were disappointed at the beginning of the season. This time, I expect that all of them will be part of the title fight that can win in Gyeongju and include others.
Zak Brown, the principal of McLaren Team, said on Wednesday, “I think it will be remarkably close in the whole field. “I think it will continue to converge if you look at the rap time that separates Abu Dhabi and 10 teams.
“So I think I don’t like anything. I expect that at least four teams will win the race and eight drivers. I will not be surprised to see that other people are not regular, but they see the mix by race by race. ”
There may have been Brown’s biased elements to maintain Mclaren’s pressure, but his team definitely did not feel that weight. One team member barely checked how the car was going on in the opening for several hours of the day, but it wasn’t because of arrogance.
The car was so reliable, and most of this season was too evolutionary compared to last year, and it was expected to just pop out from the pit lane if the green light was turned on and the checkered flag came out.
And that’s mostly happened.
Haas exceeded 130, 160 laps, Racing Bulls 155, Mercedes, Ferrari, Alpine, Red Bull and Williams. The only concern for mileage was probably in Aston Martin with 88 laps. But except for all teams’ lunch drivers, bizarre power outages may have affected if time did not work well.

Mclaren’s aggregation was relatively low compared to competitors, but when Lando Norris took time, the initial pace was definitely there, and the car itself seemed particularly strong in the demanding turn 11. OSCAR PIASTRI was far from the timing screen, but it seemed comfortable to deliver a lot of speed to the corner, despite the fact that it focused greatly on the aero test.
In the test, the old proverbs that should not read too much rap time should always be careful, but the opening day can be summarized in a very simple term. Everyone expects to be ridiculous and the competition will be fierce this season, and when the first day was on track, the expectation was not doubtful to them.
