As the sun set on Ferrari’s triumphant weekend at COTA, Charles Leclerc and Carlos were left to ponder their satisfying checkmate inflicted on their rivals.
Like a strategic game of chess, Formula 1 is also often a game of minds, on the track and beyond, where a single misstep can spell disaster, and the stakes are as high as the sky above.

In both arenas, success hinges on foresight, patience, and the ability to seize opportunities as they arise.
With next weekend’s race on the horizon, Ferrari must now prepare for the next tactical battle, ready to defend their newfound momentum against fierce competition at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.
