Can Mazepin fight for the podium in Formula 1
- Formula 1Nikita Mazepine replaced Daniel Mountain as the sole Russian pilot in Formula 1. The young pilot signed a contract with a humble team "Haas", but Russian fans still believe that he could show himself from the best side in the new season. We are talking about the prospects of Mazepine in the "Royal Auto Rackers".
Have someone to take an example
If ten years ago, all wildly surprised by the Russian rider in Formula 1, now it became commonplace. Vitaly Petrov, Sergey Sirotkin, Daniel Known - Russia has already firmly settled in the most prestigious racing series.
Petrov and Knoin achieved solid results and even climbed the podium. Daniel could win at all, but his best position is the second.
Naturally, Mazepine should set the maximum goals, otherwise why it was generally moved to formula-1.
"Haas" became weaker
True, the Russians will fight for the podium will be extremely difficult. "Haas" last season was not so fast, and the preseason tests of this year show that he became more slow. So, during tests in Bahrain, Mazepine showed the worst time, losing Max Ferstappen with almost two and a half seconds. It is worth saying that his partner Mika Schumacher's result is even worse, but he drove on a tighter tire set.In the Khaas leadership, do not curve the soul and say that they are ready to fight at the very end of Peloton. The American team did not seriously bother over the new car, given the fundamentally new regulations in the 2022th year.
Its main update is an improved Ferrari engine. In addition, engineers have worked on the back of the car. Last season, the romance of Grozhan and Kevin Magnussen went back repeatedly.
The realities are such that if "Haas" will be able to get ahead of "Williams" in the struggle for the penultimate place of the Cup of Designers - this will already be a serious victory. The paced the American car is extremely low, and even if he piloted Lewis Hamilton, he could hardly be able to pull out "Haas" from the bottom.
The main task for the season
Of course, an absolutely every pilot in Formula 1 can enter into prizes. We perfectly remember that in the history of the "royal auto racing" it happened that it was literally a few of the chambers to come to the finish. Sometimes the weather intervened, which also changed all the cards. Objectively, Mazepine can expect to enter the podium only in such extraordinary cases.
About the victories and medals Nikita while thinking is too early. His main task for the upcoming season is to win a duel from Mika Schumacher. Huge attention to the son of the legendary Michael is riveted, and experts believe that Schumacher has the least great potential. Almost all foreign journalists are confident that the German will easily benefit the competition from Mazepina.
On the one hand, such an alignment of strength will even be on the hand of Nikita. His scandal with the publication of provocative video, an aggressive driving manner, the sponsorship of the father - all this made it from him, a kind, "bad guy", from which nothing good await. And if he gives the battle Shumacher - it will finally close the mouths to all critics.
Everything in the hands of Mazepine itself!
The season starts in the coming weekend - do not miss!
