Formal 1 | Warum Rookies plötzlich wieder gefragt sind

Zum first in the first phase of the Formel-1 field of the 2024 season with the Fahreraufstellung that is in Vorjahr – ganze ohne Rookies. The contrast in 2025 would be greater than in Melbourne, where four newcomers – more fun – and the start.

After the Singapore Grand Prix, the best was Red Bull, while Liam Lawson replaced Daniel Ricciardo for the rest of the season. Since the year 2025, the official decision is that the Neuseeländer will use the first full-fledged Formel-1-Saison stage a few years later in a Red Bull-supported car.

Other Rookies are sold, such as Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes, Jack Doohan at Alpine and Oliver Bearman at Haas. Best of all, the debutants have played at Sauber, Valtteri Bottas, Williams-Juwel Franco Colapinto and McLaren-Talent Gabriel Bortoleto.

It’s more time to start the “Jahr der Rookies” in 2025. Zufall naturally plays a role, the Talent Pool teams are deleted by the active paint bar and prepared for the next Schritt ist. A talent with Antonelli, the Mercedes planted first, comes no more than a year ago.

If there is a question, most of the time there is a problem. You have used a career in the FIA ​​Junior Series and carried out a number of tests in the simulator and in private tests.

If a first attempt is made, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri will move to Formel 1 as soon as possible in his final year, and it will be the Ferrari-Einsatz of Bearnman in Saudi Arabia and Colapintos Performance in Williams.

Clearly: Junge Fahrer has since been better prepared

“I think it is a secret for all the Academy,” says Jock Clear, leader of the Ferrari Driver Academy and coach of Charles Leclerc, in Podcast F1 Nation.

“Who is it at all possible, that Bearman is in a car steeps, is it one of the most common events that have qualified previous tests on the Platz eleven and been in Rennen on the Platz? Do you think the simulators are that good ?, was a natural development of technology.”

“Sobald man a Formel-1-Team says: ‘I don’t dare to test more’, the team is more aggressive than its work, a different approach to implementation, so that it can be improved. No one in the Formal 1 is aware of it, little is expected from it if you are in the Formel-1-Team, say: ‘Who introduces themselves, what is the most fun if you want?’, weiß der Ingenieur.

“The simulation of the simulator has been at such a high level, that’s what Colapinto and Ollie saw, that Ergebnis is davon. If you get a reaction, everything is not fremd for you. If you knew, it was with the Reifen zu It’s as good as the virtual Strecke, which is in the Simulator, is as good.’

“Vieles, was here with a young age machine, found in the class zimmer statt. We were able to understand and understand, what the car function was, the Bremsbalance was used and who man set the correct direction. I’m happy, that’s that, was Sie bei Ollie and Franco see, de Ergebnis die Ausbildung ist.”

Who has noticed Fernando Alonso cannot use a simulator or other cars that cause stress beds over time. Umso deutlich fell as Lob for Fahrer wie Colapinto and Bearman – for his fast Anpassung in the full-fledged Formel-1-Welt.

“I think you have won a job and earned an recognition,” said Alonso after the Reifen Leistungen of Colapinto and Bearman in Singapore.

“If you want to take an example, yes. If you are more Simulatorarbeit, yes. If you perform Tests, yes. If that is no longer the case, and you can see the druck of the Rennens and the herausforderung of Straßenkursen and its unglazed gemeistert .”

“Aber de Meisterschaft hat 24 Rennen, and si müssen dieses hohe Niveau zehn Monate long halten. Das is een weitere Herausforderung, aber bisher was unglaublich gut, and that is gut für den Sport and seine Zukunft.”

It is no longer possible to see the Formel-2-Champion

If the Leistung is a young Fahrer, the pressure increases a little, but it is still not the Nachwuchsserie of Formel 3 and Formel 2. You will see that in the last years you can no longer wait, one of the stars of tomorrow . After Piastri, the next Formel-2-Champions Felipe Drugovich and Theo do not intend to win.

A look at the diesjährige mastery said that Mercedes and Ferrari would be more about their own Formel-1-bezogene Arbeit with Antonelli and Bearman-legen as on the Formel-2-Ergebnisse with Prema. The title line will be closed until 2025, and then Bortoleto will be on its own Platz at Sauber.

It is clear that the Meinung, the Bearmans-ended Leistung in Dschidda as a Catalyst for the zunehmende Vertrauen der Teams-dient hat. “The great success of Ollies Erfahrung in Saudi Arabia is, that is effectively the combined Formal-2-Feld aufgewertet hat,” says the Fahrercoach.

“If the man wins the Formel 2, it is now fair, there is a good chance that he will get into the Formel 1. Nun, I think the thought is changing, the combined Formel 2 will be deployed. mos.”

“Man will not die from the Formel-2-Meisterschaft, if man is no longer fahrer, he will become Leute, the Formel-2-Meisterschaft never won, now weil es a few Mal nicht so gelaufen ist, who she is wollen .

“Lando (Norris; Anm. dR) war Zweiter in dem Jahr, in dem George (Russell) gewann den Titel, en Lando hat einen Platz in der Formel 1 genauso wie George.”

“Der Punkt bei Ollie ist, dass er in die nur een Formel-2-Rennen bestRITen, as Fred (Vasseur) said: ‘Carlos (Sainz) is not that good – with müssen Ollie ins Auto setzen. I’m glad, there is preparation.’ If I said I didn’t know it was like that, it wasn’t in the Formel 2 that I knew it was in the Formel 1.’

Who sees Red Bull when divorced?

Sander Dorsman, Bortoletos Formel-2-Teamchef, started the Tatsache, the Formel-1-Teams vermehrt on the Jugend setzen. “Naturally, I am happy, that the Leute in der Formel 1 is one of the best places to live, that they are happy with,” he said.

“Aber irgendwann ist a Zeit für Veränderung. I think everything has been said, that the Formel 2 is a fantastic representation for the Formel 1 and that is a way to take a risk, that is so gentle,” Dorsman says.

An interesting fragment has appeared for Red Bull, while Schützling Isack Hadjar de Bortoleto scored a masterful title in the Formel 2 kämpft.

“I think that lately the form in the 2nd round of the turn has been very bad,” said Red Bull Team Chief Christian Horner nachdenklich. “Wenn man sich anschaut, was Bearman gelistet hat, if his Ferrari antrat on one of the highest performances of the calendars in Saudi Arabia, he is fast like a veteran.”

“Zuletzt is a passionate team colleague with Nico Hülkenberg behavior. And then he can use Colapinto as a complete force majeure. There is blieb in the Formel 2, we are worried, no one can talk about it, and then end up in the Williams and the war, sehr submerged.”

“Is it also true, see if we can tell. That’s it, that’s the Siege of Hadjar, given all these Fahrer ein weiterer Schritt nach oben ist? That’s what we first erase, when we get a chance of that Jungs”, says the Red Bull -Team chief one.

Since the teams have a stable Fahreraufgebot in the course of 2025 and the new arrangement in 2026, the coming Jahr could probably be the best opportunity, a young Fahrer the chance to become.

The view of the fragmentary hinter Red Bull’s long-awaited Fahrerraam sollte man also not allzu überrascht signal, if someone who had Hadjar but nor zur “Klasse von 2025” stößt. While Bortoleto and Colapinto 2025 have only just arrived from Zug, they will not last longer in 2026, until the next generation of young talents has started on the Platz in the Formel-1-Startaufstellung.
