Schumi needs the third man’s luck

Mercedes test driver Mick Schumacher runs lonely through the paddock in Bahrain.

Bahrain (on the calendar since 2004) is the ideal place for the Test Orgy. With almost 30 degrees it is not too hot – and the rain here will only come with 40 percent on Sunday. It would be an average of one in nine rainy days per year!

Mercedes in the spotlight

Nevertheless, many questions will be answered over the next three days – especially at Mercedes. The new W14 should finally be competitive again. Otherwise Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will no longer be a threat to market leaders Red Bull Honda and Ferrari after the many flops in 2022. The Reds fight actually alone with the reliability and too many flops of the drivers!

Aston Martin relies on the youth

After Lance’s bike accident strolling around In Spain, Aston-Martin-Mercedes now draws its second reserve driver card for the tests: Felipe Drugovich (22). The 2022 Brazilian Formula 2 champion will be the already experienced Stoffel off (30) preference.

For the new Hinwiler CEO and hope of the Sauber fans, Andreas Seidl (47), the tests and the start of the World Cup here on March 5 will be a first look.
