Turini sees something in common between Ferrari and the Inter club

      Leo Turini, a veteran of Italian sports journalism, is not only a fan of Ferrari, but also of Inter football club. Therefore, it is quite possible to understand the decadent mood in which he was last weekend.…

      I watched the Formula 1 race in Barcelona after returning from Munich after the Champions League final, and it didn't cheer me up. I often say that being a Ferrari fan is a spiritual category. The same can be said about Inter fans. Since I have both of these qualities, at the very beginning of the summer, which I don't expect anything good from, I am ready to say that the Scuderia and the Milan football club have one thing in common: zero titles.

      Continuing the racing theme, I would like to state that the hopes that McLaren's dominance might somehow be affected by the new rules regarding the flexibility of the front wings were unfounded and stupid, and therefore melted away.

      Simply put, it was fake news. For Piastri, yesterday's race turned out to be an easy ride, and we must prepare for a long series of duels between Oscar and his team-mate, Lando Norris. Despite the fact that there is more and more reason to consider the Australian as the favorite.

      There is another way to interpret this thesis: Scuderia will only have to pick up the crumbs from the McLaren table, despite Leclair's best efforts. Moreover, Charles is already turning into a kind of Houdini-level racing wizard, who tries to pull a rabbit out of a red hat at every Grand Prix.

      As painful as it is to admit, we must face the truth: in 2025, Ferrari will probably only be able to confirm that it remains the second strongest team in the championship.

      But most of all, the essence of what was happening at the Spanish Grand Prix is not even reflected in the antics of Max Verstappen, who could not contain his irritation. I'm talking about the incredible overtaking that Nico Hulkenberg, who is almost the same age as Lewis Hamilton, did.

      Hulk is currently piloting the team's car, which is led by Mattia Binotto, the former head of the Scuderia, who at one time was not criticized only by lazy. The Swiss team won't turn into Audi until next year, but for now it's still Sauber, the Cinderella of Formula 1.

      The fact that Hamilton, one of the best drivers in the history of the championship, was unable to stand up to Binotto's subordinate is disheartening. That's short. When a completely mediocre team turns all the age-old dreams of Ferrari to dust like that, it's also symbolic in its own way.

      How long are we going to put up with this reality?
