Ferrari took another beating despite Sainz starting from the front row. Aston Martin has looked stronger this season. It was Mercedes with the “new” W14 that quietly gave series winner Max Verstappen (25) food for thought.

For the first time since Brazil, two Mercedes drivers were on the podium again. And the indestructible Sir Lewis Hamilton (38) then made a declaration of war in Barcelona: “Maybe we will catch up with Red Bull at the end of this year, but otherwise no later than 2024!”

Hamilton’s ambition is unbroken

It was a sentence that replacement pilot Mick Schumacher (24) will not like in particular. Hamilton continues despite 30 races without a win. The ambition and especially the fighting power of the seven-time world champion is unbroken. “We have such a good team, I want to be there when we can celebrate properly again.”

And Schumi? He will be allowed to drive the current Mercedes for the first time here in Barcelona on Wednesday – at the Mercedes and Ferrari tire tests.

Seventh World Cup race, seventh Red Bull victory

This year, however, the champagne will only flow between the bulls, who won all seven races with ease. Verstappen easily got into his company car in Barcelona and drove away from the competition.

Only the FIA ​​could briefly stop the Dutchman’s cheerfulness with the black and white warning flag. He had left the arena three times (course limits). The fourth time it would have handed out a five-second time penalty. Well, Verstappen was a whopping 24 seconds ahead of Hamilton on his 40th GP win!
