Carlos Sainz se permite soñar en Monza

Lando Norris, segundo en el Mundial de Fórmula 1, fue el más rápido en la jornada de entrenamientos libres de este viernes del GP de Italia, por delante del monegasco Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) y el español Carlos Sainz (Williams), mientras que Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) no pasó de la zona baja. Norris, después de una primera sesión con los McLaren escondidos, sí pudo conectar una buena vuelta con el neumático blando y marcó un 1:19.878. Al final de la segunda sesión, Leclerc también confirmó que Ferrari quiere dar guerra en su circuito de casa, a solo 83 milésimas del británico. Y Sainz, tercero también a menos de una décima, reafirmó el paso adelante de Williams, que confían en que este trazado les dé una necesaria alegría. Solo diez minutos después de que empezara a correr el reloj, una bandera roja, tras una salida de pista que le hizo volver rápido al box, evitó un inicio limpió de esta sesión. Después del breve paso por el 'pit lane', fue Charles Leclerc el primero en bajar al 1:20 con los duros, pero la pelea por el mejor crono antes del cambio a gomas blandas estuvo entre Verstappen y Sainz, siendo el madrileño el que se llevó el gato al agua con un 1:20.583. A los McLaren, en la primera toma de contacto de Oscar Piastri con Monza este año, les costó encontrarse también en esta segunda sesión, con un par de salidas y sustos preocupantes, lejos de los tiempos de cabeza. Hasta que, ya con los neumáticos de la línea roja, Norris dio un paso adelante y puso su monoplaza papaya al frente por primera vez bajando siete décimas del tiempo de Sainz, que en su primer intento quedó tercero por detrás de Nico Hülkenberg, en la misma décima. Pero los Ferrari también aparecieron a tiempo, y Hamilton se acercó a Norris, con una gran vuelta, a solo una décima, pero la pelea por los puestos delanteros estaba muy caliente; y Sainz no tiró la toalla. En un nuevo intento, de menos a más, el madrileño volvió a mejorar al ocho veces campeón del mundo y se puso segundo, pegado a Norris. Mientras que a Sainz y Williams les fue muy bien, a Alonso y Aston Martin les costó mucho más. Al equipo de los bólidos verdes, no les fue fácil encontrarle el punto al neumático blando, con el piloto asturiano buscando continuamente esa vuelta perfecta que no terminó de llegar. Por ello, tanto el español, que fue 15º, como el canadiense Lance Stroll, 13º, terminaron en la zona baja. No hubo más cambios con tandas largas en la recta final de una segunda sesión, con Piastri, Hamilton y Verstappen cerca de ese 'top 3', mientras las diez primeras plazas las conformaron Alex Albon (Williams), Nico Hülkenberg (Kick Sauber), Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) y George Russell (Mercedes), con las 'flechas plateadas' muy tapadas y lejos de su mejor rendimiento. Por la mañana, Hamilton lideró el doblete de Ferrari, por delante de su compañero, Charles Leclerc, segundo y de Carlos Sainz, tercero, mientras que Fernando Alonso fue noveno. El veterano piloto de Ferrari esperó a la recta final para hacer el mejor tiempo de la primera sesión de libres en Monza, con un 1:20.117, solo una décima mejor que Leclerc, ganador frente a los 'tifosi' en 2024. Por detrás, un Sainz que demostró que este trazado es talismán, completando el 'top 3' a medio segundo del mejor Ferrari, y solo unas milésimas mejor que el neerlandés Max Verstappen, cuarto.
