El sueño americano de la Fórmula 1 (SPA-ENG)

Todos los equipos tienen problemas, algunos ni siquiera han mostrado el nuevo vehículo todavía, se han conformado con hacer presentaciones con renders y videos, muchos luchan denodadamente con el peso, una de las mayores restricciones para esta temporada. Haas ha anunciado que van a estar contra las cuerdas, Ferrari tiene muchos rumores negativos, ni hablemos de Cadillac, nuevo absolutamente.

En este marco de incertidumbre, de caos si se me permite, los equipos norteamericanos tienen la esperanza de presentar pelea y meterse en la discusión entre los grandes de la categoría, un sueño que sabemos, los del norte siempre se las ingenian para concretar.

The American dream of Formula 1

This upcoming season in the pinnacle of global motorsport promises many things: uncertainty, surprises, battles between manufacturers, drivers, and countries, among others. A season unlike any we've seen in a long time.

The competition between teams and drivers is the norm; we're used to it. The rivalry between countries, however, is less so, although we know there has always been competition, especially between the British and Italians, historically the most active, creative, and competitive in F1.

This year, the United States joins, perhaps timidly, this competition between nations, betting strongly on having a greater presence and, if possible, imposing conditions, after several years in which it had practically disappeared from the category's radar.

Three teams have a strong North American presence, especially the recently added Cadillac, the iconic luxury car brand founded in 1902 and long owned by General Motors. While its engines and gearboxes will be supplied by Ferrari, it is expected that by 2028 or 2029, everything will be manufactured in-house.

Meanwhile, Ford, the first giant of the industry, has returned to Formula 1 after more than 20 years of absence, currently supplying engines to Red Bull and Racing Bull. Perhaps in the future, they will field their own car?

Let's not forget Haas, which joined the competition in 2016. This team, with purely American origins, has had a commercial and technical agreement with TGR (Toyota Gazoo Racing), the Japanese firm's motorsport division, since the end of 2024. TGR is also returning to the category after a long absence.

The 2026 season is full of unknowns thanks to the new regulations that have forced teams to rethink many things. The new rules are generating mixed feelings, doubts, and concerns on all fronts, and few have dared to predict success or even a good performance.

All the teams are facing challenges; some haven't even unveiled their new cars yet, settling for presentations with renders and videos. Many are battling fiercely with weight, one of the biggest restrictions this season. Haas has announced they'll be under immense pressure, Ferrari is surrounded by negative rumors, and let's not even talk about Cadillac, which is completely new.

In this climate of uncertainty, of chaos if you will, the North American teams are hoping to put up a fight and join the discussion among the top contenders in the category—a dream that, as we know, those from the north always manage to make a reality.
