An awkward domain

The hegemony of Mercedes in Formula One was strengthened with the arrival of the championship in Europe. In fact, everything indicates that NIBCO Roseburg and Lewis Hamilton will compete, again, for the title between them, unless Sebastian Vetter and Ferrari achieve a technical miracle. A domain that, except for the German team, does not please anyone, since the ‘Great Circus’ is, mainly, a big business that needs other types of shows to continue generating money. For example, the Montero circuit registered the third worst attendance figure in the last nine years and stood at 188,960 spectators in the three days and 86,700 fans in the race.

Despite third place in Barcelona,

​​The four-time world champion still has some hope of fighting for the title. “I think I’m still in the battle,” said Vetter, a little stubbornly, after the Spanish Grand Prix. But the facts speak in favor of the ‘silver arrows’. The ‘double’ of Mercedes in Spain, with Ruberg first and Hamilton second, only points in one direction: the fight for the 꽁머니 will also become a private duel between the drivers of the German team this year.

However, the team leader of the ‘Avellino Ramp ante’, Maurizio Arrivabene, was quick to mitigate possible reproaches from Mirabella. “Now we must not lose our heads,” he pointed out. His red cast after wrist surgery was a reflection of the Italian team’s wounded pride: Vestal finished almost half a minute behind Robert and Finn Kisi Raikkonen could barely finish fifth.

«Cold shower for Ferrari», headlined yesterday in Italy the newspaper Tuttosport.

The British the Independent went even further: “Death blow for the Ferrari team.”

Few options. And it is that, according to most analysts, the hopes of the ‘Scudery’ vanished in Barcelona. “The points tell us that our solutions are good. But reality shows that they are not good enough,” Arrivabene summarized. Romberg took more than half a lap from Vestal, third in the World Cup. “I hope that in the next races the fight will be more closed”, commented the German before Barcelona hosts official training today and tomorrow. The next appointment will be on May 24 in Monaco.

At the moment, the statistics say that the two Mercedes drivers have always been on the podium this season. In Spain, Romberg and Hamilton celebrated their 14th double, matching the feat of McLaren legends Ayrton Sunni and Alain Prost.

As for the World Cup, the defending champion’s advantage over the German was reduced to 20 points. The 29-year-old rider, who has already won twice in his career on the Principality street circuit, is in a good moment. “The beaten hits,” wrote the Austrian daily Burier. And, along the same lines, the London Guardian noted: “Hats off to Nice Roseburg.”

 

But Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff gave the German racer a bit of warning after his Spanish Grand Prix triumph: “There is never a definitive liberating blow because in the next race things can go back to normal.” other address.”
