Formula 1 returns to action for the fourth race of the season, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Baku circuit, which boasts the longest straight in the championship, will be a good touchstone for all drivers, especially those aspiring for the podium, such as Fernando Alonso.

In fact, the 2.2 kilometers of the aforementioned straight are one of his great threats.
If in Aston Martin there is a certain optimism, not so in Ferrari. The multiple personnel changes that have taken place in these weeks or, at least, have been announced, clearly suggest a crisis situation, which would only be alleviated to a certain extent with a good result.
