Formula 1 returns to action two weeks after the Canadian GP on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit. The previous appointment of the contest finished with victory of Max Verstappen after resisting attacks for much of Carlos Sainz’s career. For his part, Charles Leclerc could only be fifth, which together with the abandonment of Sergio Pérez allow Verstappen to enjoy a very solid leadership. In fact, the Red Bull driver exceeds his two pursuers by more than 45 points.
With the honey on their lips of achieving greater success, the two Spanish riders of the category stayed in Montreal. Carlos Sainz finished second after trying to beat Max Verstappen especially intense during the last phase of the race. For its part, Fernando Alonso was unable to convert his second starting position into an outstanding result and had to settle for ninth position after receiving a somewhat harsh penalty.
back to Europe
With everything that happened in Canada still in my head, Formula 1 returns to Europe after a long stay outside the continent. Azerbaijan and Canada have been the last stages in which the Great Circus has been exhibited, but now it is the turn to compete in GGreat Britain, a country with a huge tradition in motorsport. Indeed, Silverstone is one of the meccas of motorsport and has a long tradition on the Formula 1 calendar.
Although it is true that with ‘Brexit’ the link between the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe has weakened to a certain extent, the British GP serves to kick off a series of races on the old continent. A phase of the calendar in which Formula 1 will travel from Silverstone to Austria, to then compete in France, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy. Without a doubt, a critical moment of the season.
