Albert Fabrega, a well-known Spanish F1 reporter, has confidently predicted Charles Leclerc’s victory at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, scheduled for this weekend.
Bold prediction?
Albert Fabrega has forecasted a podium with Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, and Carlos Sainz, stating that Scuderia SFerrari will prove to be very competitive in the final race on American soil this year. Is his prediction daring? The most spontaneous response is clearly affirmative, given the dominance of the Max Verstappen – Red Bull duo in 2023.
However, when analyzing the Las Vegas street track characteristics and the SF-23, it becomes apparent that the Red Team is one to watch this weekend. Ferrari is most successful on “stop & go” tracks, just like the one in Las Vegas. The Baku City Circuit and the Marina Bay street circuit are the two most glaring examples confirming the strength of the car on these types of circuits.
Optimism at Ferrari
There is a lot of optimism at Ferrari. Both Frederic Vasseur and Jock Clear are convinced that the team can perform well in Las Vegas, as are the drivers.
The only uncertainty concerns the behavior of the tires. Considering the expected low temperatures, there might be low degradation (which could favor Ferrari), but a high risk of graining. We will have to see if Albert Fabrega has guessed the final result, remembering that the reporter has access to data from team simulations, so his predictions are likely based on them as well.
