      Las principales noticias y reseñas de autos, sin tonterías

      Nuestro boletín diario gratuito envía las historias que realmente importan directamente a ti, todos los días laborables.

      Buenos días y bienvenido a The Downshift, o TDS para abreviar.

      Conciso, ligero y acertado, TDS reúne las últimas noticias del automóvil de todo el mundo y las coloca en un solo lugar. Las historias se resumen en una sola frase acompañada de un enlace para quienes busquen más información.

      La primera taza de café ya se acabó aquí y estoy listo para la segunda, así que vamos a ello.

      🚘 Lo que estoy conduciendo: el Subaru Solterra 2026 se fue y fue reemplazado en mi garaje por un Audi A6 Sportback E-Tron 2025.

      🏭 La producción del Volkswagen ID Buzz eléctrico en Hanóver, Alemania, se ha pausado del 20 al 24 de octubre debido a la desaceleración de la demanda, los cambios en las condiciones del mercado y la "intensa competencia en los mercados", según el fabricante.

      🪦 El Volkswagen Touareg ahora ha muerto a nivel mundial tras 24 años de trayectoria, después de haber marcado un hito para la marca.

      🔋 El CEO de Jeep dijo que la SUV eléctrica Recon aún está en camino.

      🔑 Según se informa, Tesla podría dejar de incluir una llave física —que en realidad es solo un cuadrado plástico electrónico que parece una tarjeta de crédito— con los vehículos nuevos.

      🫸 Ferrari sabe que hacer esperar demasiado a los clientes por un vehículo los enfada y dijo que el tiempo adecuado es entre 20 y 24 meses.

      📈 Los pedidos iniciales del SUV eléctrico BMW iX3 están superando las expectativas del fabricante.

      🥶 Mientras Alfa Romeo se aleja de sus planes totalmente eléctricos, el fabricante mantendrá el sedán Giulia y el SUV Stelvio en producción hasta finales de 2027.

      🏷️ Ford vendió un GT 2006 de su colección patrimonial con los ingresos destinados a financiar la restauración de otros modelos, pero el superdeportivo solo se vendió por $742,500, cifra que quedó por debajo de la tasación de hasta 1,1 millones de dólares.

Wolff: Max tiene una ventaja psicológica sobre McLaren. Max Verstappen sigue recortando la desventaja en la clasificación de pilotos respecto a los pilotos de McLaren. El jefe de Mercedes, Toto Wolff, está convencido de que Max ya ha obtenido una ventaja psicológica sobre sus rivales, y eso aumenta sus posibilidades de lograr su quinto título consecutivo. After the US Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, who took a convincing victory and scored 33 points over the American weekend, commented on its outcome. Although his chances for the title have clearly improved, he made it clear that he is trying not to think about what awaits him in the remaining rounds of the season...

Question: Max, congratulations on a convincing victory! Tell us how the race unfolded?
Max Verstappen: Yes, the weekend was perfect. I think the most important part of the race was the first stint, when I managed to create a small gap, because after the pit stop everything mostly stabilized and I simply drove to the finish.
I think it was very important to manage the tyres correctly, and that wasn't easy, because on some laps there were some odd sensations related to balance and grip. Overall, it was one of those days when you just have to try not to make mistakes, drive as consistently as possible and avoid the bumps. But we won again, and that can be considered an incredible achievement.

Question: You mentioned tyre work: after the sprint you said you couldn't confidently judge the intensity of their wear. How did the tyres perform over the 56-lap Grand Prix distance?
Max Verstappen: I think today the tyres worked somewhat better, although perhaps still not as well as I would have liked. But nevertheless we won, and that's of course the most important thing.

Question: How much harder do you think it would have been if Charles Leclerc hadn't passed Lando Norris at the start?
Max Verstappen: I think the battle would have been extremely tight. In my view, whenever the track ahead of Lando was clear, we ran at practically the same pace. Maybe at certain moments he was quicker. Overall, at the finish the gap between our cars would have been minimal.

Question: Considering the speed your car is now capable of, and the fact that you beat Oscar Piastri by 30 seconds at this circuit, what do you think about the remaining rounds of the championship?
Max Verstappen: I think that to have a chance at the title we must execute all the remaining races perfectly. Yes, we have significantly reduced the deficit, but since the difference in car performance is very small, each weekend you have to try to do everything as correctly as possible — that's exactly what we are trying to do.

Question: Over the last four rounds you have taken 64 points back from Oscar, who leads the championship. On which of the remaining five tracks are you most likely to be able to fight for wins?
Max Verstappen: I don't know. As I said, the rivalry is getting very fierce, and you just have to pay maximum attention to all the details — that's what the end result depends on. Each weekend you must try to set the car up as best as possible and also avoid mistakes. That's exactly how we're trying to operate.

Question: Next up is the Mexican Grand Prix, and the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located at high altitude and the weather is expected to be very hot. How well do you think your car will cope with those conditions?
Max Verstappen: We'll find out the whole truth next weekend. I'm not thinking about it yet. You can speculate, but I don't like doing that.

Question: After the Zandvoort round you were 104 points behind Oscar, the championship leader. After four races your deficit was reduced to 40 points. If someone had told you during the Zandvoort weekend that after the US Grand Prix you would be back among the title contenders, would you have believed it?
Max Verstappen: No. I would have told that person they're an idiot. However, it's simple: we managed to find the right approach to the car. Of course, we introduced a number of technical updates and now better understand the characteristics of the R21, we understand how to improve its efficiency, and we try to achieve that every weekend.
Sometimes a weekend goes particularly well, but overall recently we've been doing much better than before. We must make every effort to ensure that this trend continues at each of the remaining rounds of the season.
