The Formula 1 is experiencing one of the most exciting moments of the season: McLaren stalks Red Bull in the constructors’ championship, while Max Verstappen tries to prevent Lando Norris from continuing to reduce points in the final stretch of the tournament. Added to this is the second experience you will have Franco Colapinto in the highest category of motorsport, now on a much more complex route.
He Baku street circuit will be a great test for Colapinto due to the complexities that the route presents, with some curves that usually bring headaches to the drivers.
In that sense, The Argentine referred to the difficulties that this circuit can bring him: “Baku is a track that I don’t know and it will be tough and it will be a challenge. I already know that. But now at least there is only one thing left to learn. I already know the car from the weekend in Monza. It was a good weekend to debut. I knew the track pretty well, there was only one thing left to learn.
Despite the caution that Colapinto and the Williams team are trying to convey, James Vowles, team manager, referred to the Argentine’s possibilities between now and the end of the season: “When the car has the package, its possibilities will be to win all the remaining races. In Baku he still has a chance, but he has to be absolutely perfect that weekend and I think it is too high a demand to put on his shoulders. I would say that there are reasons to feel. encouraged by his performance in Baku, Singapore and all remaining tracks.”
For its part, the championship is going through one of the moments of greatest parity in recent years. Although McLaren is unable to translate its superiority into victories, the consistency of its drivers allows it to be excited about the constructors’ tournament: Red Bull leads with 446 points, followed by McLaren (437) and Ferrari (407), which has just added a new victory thanks to Charles Leclerc.

It will be a matter of time to see if the sporting fight between Norris and Piastri allows him to reach the final dates with a chance of snatching the title from the current three-time Formula 1 champion.
