F1: What is at stake in the second part of the season?
14 of the 24 races of the 2025 campaign of the F1 have passed. What is played in the last part of the season?
14 of the 24 races of the 2025 season of the Formula 1. Yes, time flies, as the McLaren who have put the competition to see them from below and have dominated in every way.
We are in the summer break, those vacations that the F1 of everything is taken and that, literally, are prohibited to work. From August 11 to 24, the cars are not touched, no one enters the workshops, the offices are closed (except those of marketing) and there is not even an email of the offices and factories of the 10 teams, which are seven in England, one in Switzerland and two in Italy.
Moment! Why does this holiday closure not apply to F1 journalists? (Some are now taking the sun) good, there are issues to keep talking and that fans, those who never stop thinking about F1, are around them in their heads.
Papaya Battle: Lando Norris vs Oscar Piastri
Since 2016 that was found in encounter Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamiltonthere had not been a duel as closed by the title of pilots as the one they star in a corner, with a sarcastic smile and curly hair, Lando Norrisand on the other, that of the enigmatic and calculator look, Oscar Piastri.
There are only nine points of difference between the McLaren pilots (Piastri 284-272 Norris), who already see 88 units away to their closest persecutor, the tetracampeon, Max Verstappen.
Piastri has won six races, while Norris has done so in five; 12 podiums for each one, 4 pole posations per head. The internal struggle between the hosts it directs cannot be more couple Zak Brown.
The difference, in the end, will be the one who makes more and worse mistakes, who fails in the execution in the zero hour. Until now, the perception is that Lando is more susceptible to the unpairmed error (they would say in tennis), while Piastri, even when he commits a error is analytical, cold and learns.
It is not exaggerated to say that whoever wins the title in McLaren will set a precedent and could claim the title of pilot number 1, with the consequences that may have. Not in bucket will be the first title of pilots of the team in 17 years.
This duel is not a Senna-Prost (let’s not fall into hyperboles and exaggerations), but in the 10 races that will be touched again and the spirits will be heated, something that seems that Zak Brown will love it, because he dreams of having a rivalry like the one that was lived 35 years ago.
Brown goes crazy when Norris wins, for whom he has opted for years. But when Piastri wins, happy, yes, but adopts the same position as his pilot, all composure and naturalness.
Apply the father’s meme that cares in the pool for the child on the shore and does not turn to see the one who drowns.
Sign George Russell!
Toto Wolff He knows that he has the pan for the mango, he is at the same time pattern and agent of George Russellnot he nominally, but Mercedes decides on the career of the young Englishman, who is the only pilot, does not McLaren or Verstappen, who has achieved a triumph in 2025.
Russell ends contract with Mercedes in 2025, as will Andrea Kimi Antonellibut his situation has been very hot since Wolff has not hidden his desire to have Verstappen in the Anglo-German team.
The clauses and talks with Max delayed negotiations with Russell, who has tired of giving results and extracting the W15, a performance beyond what was expected.
A victory, six podiums, a pole position, eleven top 5 and 13 of 14 races at the points, to add 172 points and be 15 of its rival in every way, Max Verstappen.
Here applies the famous Meme of Meryl Streep with your hands next to the mouth in the form of a speaker, which shouts standing: you already sign George Russell!
The place in the Constructors Championship, equal to a lot of money
The F1 builders championship is determined, with McLaren with 559 points, 299 advantage over Ferrari and 323 over Mercedes! Crazy.
While second place is important, for many things, I do not know if Ferrari would change the $ 3 or $ 4 million that would give him to be second, in exchange for having a little more development time in wind tunnel than Mercedes.
Anyway, that second place is at stake and Red Bull seems resigned to the fourth step.
Of the fifth for under the thing is very compressed. Between fifth place, which is Williams with 70, and the ninth one that is Haas, there are 35 points. It is not exaggerated to say that a good career can make you jump from three places, it is enough to see Aston Martin, who went from eighth to sixth with the double score they achieved Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll In Hungary.
The difference between one place and another in the classification is approximately $ 3 million, let’s imagine the fight between 6 and 9, is a competition that implies up to $ 10 million in the stock market.
Here applies the meme of the woman who thinks and has dozens of mathematical signs and calculation around her.
Ferrari and his private hell
Ferrari, beyond its results in reference to the rest of the grill, lives a personal hell, because all its expectations are breached and suffers from old bad embodied in their new elements.
Specifically we talk about Lewis Hamilton and his car or car and Lewis Hamilton, the order of the factors does not alter the product. Hamilton cannot with the car and the car is not what Hamilton wants or what Ferrari wants.
Those of Maranello felt, at the end of 2024, that they were very close to fighting you with McLaren. They would have the seven -time world champion in their ranks, so that extra in the car had to be found. His bet was to change the geometry of the front suspension and change from pullrod pushrod … the vase that was not broken, which was going well, ended up falling from the shelf.
The truth is that Hamilton has gone from being a predatory pilot and feared in 2021 to star in the ‘incredible and sad history of the Cándido Lewis and the heartless regulations. ”
Its handling style, based on powerful braking, does not finish fitting with unstable balance cars, such as this generation of soil effect.
Apply the meme of spider men, in this case Ferrari failed seasons, pointing to each other.
Verstappen vs Russell, the most fiery rivalry of F1
They do not fall, they do not like them, they are opposite in everything, well, almost in everything, because they are a couple of well -informed boys, cults and who represent the best of the F1 grill … but do not swallow.
Verstappen, best pilot of his generation, has had little real competition in his years in F1. Now, the McLaren have a better car, but he has still been able to win two races and do magic in a couple of qualys, but with whom he really fights in 2025 is against George Russell ..
They have already had a couple of verbal encounters and controversial actions on the track, where some of them try to be harmed.
There are 15 points of difference between them, who will be third place at the end of the season, the best of the rest?
Here the baby meme applies with the face that he wants to fight with the closed fist.
Operation Save the seat for Yuki, Liam and Colapinto
If there is someone on the F1 grill urged to show something different in the 10 missing races that is Yuki Tsunoda.
The Japanese has 12 dates on Red Bull and has made seven points, none in the last seven major awards.
Tsunoda ends contract in December and nobody thinks that he can stay in Milton Keynes’s seat, even right now he looks like an impossible mission that manages to accommodate another team.
A similar case was Liam Lawsonwho received a kick after two races in Red Bull and who has now straightened the flight in Racing Bulls.
The New Zealander has made 20 points, 14 of them in the last four GP’s and, with it, it confirms that the second seat of Red Bull is a martyrdom and that the Racing Bulls car is a sweet that anyone is made to the mouth.
Franco Colapint It is not as hurried as Tsunoda and Lawson, because Alpine is wrong everywhere and the fact that has no points is even normal.
The Argentine shows progress in his adaptation to the French car, but needs points to breathe calm towards 2026.
Apply the meme of Michael Jordan Crying to tear, but in triplicate.
Who will be the rookie of the year?
Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Isack hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapint They fight for the rookie title of the year, but in reality only the first three have some chance to win it.
Antonelli seemed the most focused on being the most prominent ‘roakie’ and although he has 64 points, he has only added points with Mercedes in two of the last eight GP’s.
For its part, Hadjar, in the modest Racing Bull has 22 points, but has not stopped saying present to any Q2 and its handling is fast, reliable and very mature.
Bortoleto has been a fruit of rapid maturation. From a hesitant start it has set points in three of the last four races, with two Q3 in resurrected Sauber.
Apply in Meme del Chico (rookie prize of the year) what the way of his girlfriend (Antonelli) and turns to see another one that passes (bortoleto).
Where will Czech Pérez go?
As are the things in the pilot market, it shouldn’t take long to give the announcement of Sergio Pérez as a new pilot of the nascent Cadillac F1 team.
Checo ran out of other real options, we are in August and the market will not have the Verstappen bomb, while for Cadillac there have never been better probable pilots than Pérez and Valtteri Bottasso, it is just that that matter is armed.
Apply the Drake meme that in the top photo turns and rejects with the hand the combination “Zhou-Schumacher” and below smiles and accepts “Pérez-Bottas”.
