A Fórmula 1 iniciou oficialmente a temporada 2025 na quarta-feira (26) com os testes de inverno no Bahrein. As 10 equipes e os 20 pilotos estiveram reunidos no circuito de Sakhir para uma bateria de ensaios cruciais antes do primeiro Grande Prêmio do ano, na Austrália. Mas a temporada marca, também, a volta do Brasil ao circuito mundial das corridas, após uma ausência de sete anos, com Gabriel Bortoleto, jovem piloto brasileiro de 20 anos, prestes a estrear na Fórmula 1 pela equipe Sauber. Para Eric Mendes, jornalista especializado em Fórmula 1, o brasileiro Gabriel Bortoleto "é um piloto que percebe rapidamente a estratégia e o que ele precisa fazer para dar o seu máximo durante uma corrida".E é visível que ele sabe aproveitar [a corrida] e marcar muitos pontos para ser o mais regular, e justamente por isso se tornou campeão há dois anos [na Fórmula 2]. "No ano passado, enfrentou o francês, e não estava exatamente em sua melhor forma. Mas ele se adaptou rapidamente e conseguiu mostrar consistência. Ele tinha regularidade e capacidade de estar presente nos momentos decisivos para marcar os pontos necessários, o que deu a ele a vantagem que permitiu a vitória", lembra o comentarista."Eu acredito que é uma questão de tentar manter essa mesma lógica [agora no circuito principal]. Ele precisa entender o que deve fazer para ter o carro mais rápido possível, o que vai permitir que ele dê o seu melhor ao volante. Mas será difícil, e ele precisará de um tempo de adaptação", sublinha Mendes. "Mesmo assim, ele já mostrou que é capaz, e vai acelerar o suficiente para se destacar. Ele precisa continuar com a mesma vontade de ter sucesso, independentemente do que acontecer", acredita.Comparação com SennaSobre possiveis comparações com o estilo de Ayrton Senna, Eric Mendes contemporiza e analisa a performance de Bortoleto sob um outro prisma. "Eu acho que ele tem mais a atitude do piloto moderno, que precisa se impor. Ele não é aquele piloto agressivo ou que tenta ser o mais rápido a todo custo, porque todos os pilotos agressivos acabam se destacando por um tempo, mas muitos se queimam", destaca o especialista."A questão é sempre a consistência. Quando ele chegou, por exemplo, tinha um estilo muito agressivo, o que causou uma boa impressão. Ele continua com essa imagem de piloto agressivo, mas, ao mesmo tempo, tem mostrado que é capaz de se adaptar e ser mais trabalhador. Ele não precisa ser aquele piloto agressivo do tipo 'fazer tudo na força bruta'. Ele precisa mostrar seu valor ao longo da temporada, e é isso que vai determinar seu sucesso", analisa Mendes."Claro, todos falam de Senna, das suas habilidades, especialmente sob condições adversas, como quando estava chovendo. Ele soube lidar com situações complicadas", lembra. "Mas agora, o carro é muito mais importante. A comparação também será feita com seu colega de equipe, [Nico] Hulkenberg, e veremos se Bortoleto consegue estar presente nos momentos de marcar pontos e aproveitar as oportunidades. Ele tem que aproveitar essas chances. As pessoas estão olhando para o Bortoleto com outros olhos agora, e eu tenho certeza de que ele vai aproveitar ao máximo essa oportunidade", acredita o comentarista franco-português.O "business" da Fórmula 1Perguntando sobre as possíveis razões da ausência prolongada do Brasil no circuito, Eric Mendes faz uma avaliação do contexto atual da Fórmula 1. "Estamos em uma fase onde o dinheiro e os negócios falam mais alto. É difícil para um piloto sem o suporte financeiro necessário conseguir uma vaga. Conseguir um lugar na Fórmula 1, atualmente, é um jogo de dinheiro", pontua."Foi isso que dificultou a vida dos pilotos brasileiros, como o Felipe Massa, por exemplo, que foi campeão e ainda espera por uma nova oportunidade. Para mim, quando um piloto é campeão da Fórmula 2, ele já deveria ter a chance de ir para a Fórmula 1 imediatamente. Antigamente, isso era mais natural. Mas hoje, quem não tem o suporte financeiro ou uma figura por trás, como um pai, fica para trás", sublinha o especialista."O [piloto brasileiro  Felipe] Drugovitch, por exemplo, está na equipe reserva e tem essa sorte, pois seu pai está ajudando a garantir seu lugar. Muitos pilotos acabam dependendo desses apoios, e foi o que faltou aos brasileiros. Não se trata de falta de talento, mas de oportunidade. Drugovitch tem demonstrado que pode estar no nível necessário, e agora, com sorte, ele pode finalmente ter a sua chance", afirma Mendes.Brasil também entre as promessas do circuitoO paranaense Felipe Drugovich, de 24 anos, ganhou nas categorias de base do automobilismo, especialmente na Fórmula 2, onde conquistou o título da temporada 2022 pela equipe MP Motorsport. Após seu sucesso na F2, Drugovich passou a integrar o programa de jovens pilotos da Aston Martin na Fórmula 1, atuando como piloto reserva e de testes. Ele participou de algumas sessões de treinos livres e testes de pré-temporada com a equipe, sendo considerado uma promessa para um futuro lugar na F1. Atualmente, ele continua como piloto reserva da Aston Martin e segue buscando uma oportunidade para estrear como titular no circuito.Vindo de longa tradição familiar e neto do icônico piloto Emerson Fittipaldi, Pietro Fittipaldi é piloto de testes e reserva da Haas. Ele fez sua estreia na categoria em 2020, substituindo Romain Grosjean no GP de Sakhir e no GP de Abu Dhabi, após o grave acidente do piloto francês no Bahrein. Atualmente, Pietro continua ligado à escuderia Haas como piloto reserva no circuito de 2025.Para Eric Mendes, no entanto, ainda deve levar tempo para os brasileiros darem um "susto" em grandes favoritos como Lewis Hamilton. "Ainda é muito cedo para imaginar isso. Acredito que ainda é cedo para dizer que Gabriel Bortoleto esteja na luta pelo título, pois ele ainda está se adaptando, e o carro não é um dos mais competitivos", contextualiza.Favoritos"Os grandes favoritos, por enquanto, são Max Verstappen e Red Bull, com a McLaren também mostrando boa forma. A Mercedes, com Hamilton, tem se destacado, e é claro que ele continua sendo um grande nome da F1. A McLaren também pode ser uma surpresa, mas no momento a Red Bull parece estar na frente. Max Verstappen é o atual campeão e, sem dúvida, continuará a ser um dos maiores candidatos. Claro, a Ferrari também pode ser uma surpresa, mas o Bortoleto tem um longo caminho pela frente. Quem sabe, com o tempo, ele consiga mostrar seu verdadeiro potencial e surpreender", diz Mendes.A Sauber, que se tornará a equipe de fábrica da Audi em 2026, enxerga na contratação de Bortoleto uma oportunidade de incorporar jovens talentos em sua futura formação de pilotos. A chegada do jovem talento marca o retorno de um piloto brasileiro à Fórmula 1 em tempo integral desde 2017, e promete reacender o entusiasmo dos fãs brasileiros pelo esporte.Além disso, Bortoleto garantiu o título da Fórmula 2 após terminar em segundo lugar na corrida final em Abu Dhabi, acumulando um total de 214,5 pontos na temporada. Ele se junta a nomes como Oscar Piastri, George Russell e Charles Leclerc ao conquistar títulos consecutivos nas categorias de base.MaratonaAs equipes tiveram recentemente um grande desafio pela frente: ajustar seus carros em apenas três dias de testes antes da maratona de 24 corridas ao longo do ano. Embora os layouts dos carros já tenham sido revelados e algumas imagens das novas máquinas em pista tenham circulado, os testes no Bahrein foram essenciais para entender melhor a força de cada equipe em uma temporada que promete ser bastante equilibrada."Acredito que veremos uma continuação do que aconteceu no ano passado, com quatro equipes (McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull e Mercedes) capazes de vencer corridas e disputar o título. Teremos uma grande batalha pela frente", projetou Frédéric Vasseur, chefe da Ferrari.Com 2025 marcando o último ano antes das grandes mudanças regulatórias de 2026, a tendência é que as diferenças entre as equipes sigam diminuindo. As atualizações feitas são importantes, mas muitas escuderias já começam a desviar atenção para o desenvolvimento dos carros do novo regulamento.Até lá, o foco se concentrou nos três dias de testes em Sakhir, fundamentais para ajustes antes do GP da Austrália, marcado para o dia 16 de março, em Melbourne.A contagem regressiva para a temporada 2025 já começou, resta saber como será o retorno do Brasil de Ayrton Senna às pistas, depois de sete anos de ausência no circuito mundial.

Romain Grosjean has raced in Formula One, Indy cars and much more. Coming to the NTT Indy Car Series after his horrific crash in the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, he hasn't slowed down at all. After enjoying a podium finish at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach for Andretti Autosport in 2023, we caught up with him just prior to the 2024 event where he talks about switching to the small Juncos Hollinger Racing Team, his testing experience with the new hybrid, and how that compares to F1. I also asked him about a comment he made last year at this event about hisconfidence as a driver and he gives a very real and raw answer. By the way, if you speak French, he has a special message for you at the end. Enjoy! Breaking News: Juncos Hollinger announced their driver lineup for 2025 with Conor Daly and Sting Ray Robb behind the wheel. That currently leaves Romain Grosjean on the sidelines. Willhe return to Dale Coyne Racing where he began his NTT IndyCar Series career? Only time will tell. He is still contracted to race for Lamborghini in their IMSA hybrid GTP car and had the quickest lap during one of the sessions at a recent Daytona test. Stay tuned.

On this episode we're lifting the lid (or should that be peaking under the fuel cap?) of F1 fuel tanks - an area of the car some might assume is fairly basic and uninteresting, but (like everything else in F1) is actually incredibly complex and has a huge impact on performance.Joining us to share his wisdom is Giles Dawson of Aero Tech Laboratories (ATL), who shares details about fuel tank (or fuel bladder) design considerations, safety considerations, the materials used in their construction, the lessons learned from Romain Grosjean's infamous fiery crash in Bahrain in 2020, and how the fuel tank influences performance, amongst other things. Before that, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson discuss some of the issues arising from the Qatar Grand Prix, including whether F1 needs permanent stewards and why Alex Albon's wing mirror fell of his Williams, bringing out the yellow flags Lando Norris later failed to slow for. And as ever, Gary and Edd round off the show by answering listener questions, which this week are on power unit failures, engine mapping, and Cadillac's windtunnel test programme.Got a tech question?

As Formula 1 prepares to take another spin of the wheel at Las Vegas, the latest edition of GP Racing magazine is on the news stands, so it's once again time for Codders to Podders, as ever with Mark Gallagher and Autosport's Grand Prix Editor, Alex Kalinauckas. In this month's episode, we ask whether Max Verstappen will be ‘four and done' with Red Bull – and, indeed whether Red Bull will be able to win another world championship in the foreseeable future as their driver academy might not be holding up as well as it once did, despite two and a half decades of success... Are we in the strange situation where Red Bull literally "can't afford" to let Sergio Perez go? Elsewhere the trio chat about their latest feature on Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, and his favourite climbing wall. Consider this a boulder dash rather than balderdash, as they discuss his engineering background and rising through the ranks within the sport, being Romain Grosjean's race engineer and the awkward timing of his favourite cappuccino... (PS: You can also see a video of the interview on Autosport's YouTube channel!) And finally, marketing comes to the forefront with a deep dive on F1's latest idea, a live show to celebrate their 75th anniversary with all ten team's liveries being revealed at the O2 Arena in February, as well as Monaco being extended on the sporting calendar until 2031. Is the live show an insult to long-standing fans or a brilliant commercial idea? And is Monaco still as important as it used to be?

Conor Daly is back this week with one pressing question: where did all the IndyCar drivers go? He and co-host Chase Holden discuss the lack of social media presence a lot of the paddock has displayed since the season finale in Nashville. They also debate whether race fans having access to drivers' personal lives is good for the growth of the sport. Conor brings up the discourse surrounding NASCAR's Playoff system and how it has kept NASCAR relevant in a sports market dominated by football. They also respond to Romain Grosjean's spicy comments about how he will likely be sitting out next season due to a lack of funding after one of the best seasons in his career. Longtime NASCAR competitor and NBC broadcaster Parker Kligerman joins the show to discuss his decision to leave the pursuit of full-time racing to further his career in television. He and Conor relate on the ups and downs of being underfunded in racing, and how the glimmers of hope often drive several more years in the grind. Parker goes into what he describes as a symbiotic relationship between racing on Saturdays and broadcasting on Sundays, where he's able to take anecdotes from his time behind the wheel that help him on camera. He also provides some insight into what else he'd like to try in motorsports before hanging up the helmet for good. Finally, the guys tackle the ever burning question of how to help spread the word of IndyCar.

Bryn Lucas is joined again by Jake Boxall-Legge and Filip Cleeren as they continue their analysis of the Italian Grand Prix. On this episode, the trio discuss Kimi Antonelli's exciting F1 debut, with the 18-year-old showing scintillating pace until a crash at the Parabolica on his second hotlap put him in the wall. A promising sign for his talent, a reckless crash on debut or something else entirely? And what can we expect of the teenager now he's confirmed to be joining Mercedes in 2025? Also, Kevin Magnussen became the first driver since Romain Grosjean in 2012 to be banned from a Grand Prix after picking up his 11th and 12th penalty points at Monza. But with multiple drivers thinking Magnussen's punishment was too harsh, is it time to look at the penalty point system? Also dialogue on Franco Colaptino's debut for Williams, and whether a young driver race at the end of Abu Dhabi's testing could be viable in the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight, on Trackside, it's a one hour show tonight, but there is still a lot to talk about! Kevin and Curt discuss the Portland GP, and Will Power's dominating performance. They talk about what his career will be like moving forward, and Power's involvement with training young drivers. Kevin makes the point that Penske will decide if they will let Power keep racing for them, not Will himself. They talk about Colton Herta's use of the hybrid on pitlane and why that is against the rules, and the Dixon/Kirkwood collision, and if Kirkwood deserved the penalty, or Pietro Fittipaldi. They also go into detail about Grosjean's crash and being held responsible for hitting two cars.  Later, Kevin talks about Santino Ferrucci's pole, and his overall performance, finishing 8th. Ferrucci also has 8 top 10s this season, when they only had one last season. They talk about Ferrucci going to Rahal and where Romain Grosjean will land, as his contract ends at the end of the season. Kevin highlights the lack of sponsorships on the Juncos-Hollinger car, and where Alexander Rossi will go.  To round out the last hour, Kevin talks about what they missed during the show. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry, this has been a little delayed, I've been dealing with a family bereavement, forgive me. - Dre On this episode of Motorsport101, the boys review a pretty interesting Sonsio Grand Prix, with Alex Palou finally returning to the winner's circle after racking up Top 10's like they were going out of fashion. He's had 22 of them in a row going back to his 2022 season. Of them, 18 are Top 5's. His insane run of form ties in beautifully with the heated three-way fight for the win he had with Will Power, as his Zenmaster form begins to return from 2022, and Lundgaard, the Indy GP specialist who cannot catch a break after his fifth Top 5 finish at the track. We talk about how it all came together on track. Also, does IndyCar have a marketing problem... or a storytelling problem? After yet more hype for Santino Ferrucci as he gets into a bloodfeud with Romain Grosjean, the gang ponder whether the series has its priorities in the right place. All that and more on the next Motorsport101!

Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden are back in the studio after the Sonsio Indy GP kicked off the Month of May in thrilling fashion. They recap all of the action that saw Alex Palou play the strategy game perfectly and pull away in the late stages of the race to a decisive victory. Conor also dissects the Santino Ferrucci and Romain Grosjean beef that spilled over from the final warm-up into the race. Conor explains that while driver disagreements and feuds are good for the sport, Santino's actions not only put other drivers at risk but his own team's success in the points standings. Finally, the guys discuss the hilarious moment captured on the NBC broadcast where Conor picked up Colton Herta in his golf cart during the qualification session. After the break, they are joined by race winner Alex Palou to chat about how his race played out and how he kept his cool despite Christian Lundgaard's early display of pace. Alex explains that he was surprised by the speed his car had once they made pit stops and changed tires. Conor asks for Alex's opinion on some of the dust-ups and struggles that were seen during the race, to which Alex replies that he is solely focused on winning another championship. Finally, the guys ask how Alex feels his Indy GP win will carry over into the rest of the Month of May. He explains that while road course and oval set-ups may vary, the winning mindset will do a lot for his and Team Ganassi's morale in the 500.  21+ and present in NC.
