🏎️Welcome to The Apex Report

Formula 1 is more than just speed. It’s strategy, pressure, decisions, and stories.

Here we break down the races, drivers, teams, and moments that shape the grid — bringing a fresh African perspective to F1. 🌍

KIMI IS COOKING. 👀🔥

FP2:
Antonelli P1
Leclerc P2
Hamilton P3

Mercedes looked strong in FP1, and now Kimi tops FP2.

Madring is starting to look VERY interesting.

Ferrari P3 & P4 in FP1. 👀

Leclerc ahead of Hamilton, both within half a second of Russell.

And they did it on mediums while Mercedes went soft.

I’m not saying Ferrari are cooking yet…

But I’m definitely watching. 🇮🇹🔥

Russell P1.
Antonelli P2.

And remember… Russell is still 66 points behind Kimi. 👀

If Mercedes really are this strong at Madring, this championship fight could get VERY interesting.

FP1 is only FP1 though. We wait. 🇪🇸

Sainz at his HOME GP and P17 in FP1… 😭🇪🇸

Madring was always going to expose the Williams, but that’s still a rough start for Carlos.

Hopefully the car finds something before qualifying.

Madrid deserves to see him fighting higher up. 👀

Madring is already showing its teeth. 😭

The track looks insane, but the traffic could become a BIG problem here.

Lindblad was not happy with the obstruction at La Monumental either. 👀

And this is only FP1…

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

Mercedes really said “welcome to Madring.” 😭

Russell P1.
Antonelli P2.

First session on a completely new track and the Silver Arrows already look comfortable.

Too early to call anything… but I’m watching Mercedes. 👀

The real question at Madring:

WHO adapts fastest? 👀

No driver has raced an F1 car here before. One mistake could cost you big, and the new track could completely shake up the pecking order.

This is where the best adaptors separate themselves. 🇪🇸🔥

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

MADRING. WE’RE FINALLY HERE. 🇪🇸🔥

No F1 history.
No real benchmark.
No idea who has the fastest car.

22 corners. La Monumental. And a completely blank slate.

This could be VERY interesting. 👀

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

NEW TRACK. NEW ASPHALT. BIG QUESTION. ����

How will the tyres behave at Madring?

Grip and degradation could completely change the pecking order this weekend.

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring #ApexReportF1

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

MADRING COULD BE CHAOS. 😭🇪🇸

Tight walls. Limited run-off. A brand-new track.

One mistake here and it could completely change the race. 👀

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring #ApexReportF1

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

MADRING LOOKS WILD. 😭🇪🇸

Sainz says it feels like a mix of Jeddah, Baku and Macau.

And with those walls this close… mistakes will be punished FAST. 👀

#F1 #SpanishGP #Madring #ApexReportF1

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

MADRING IS HERE 🇪🇸🏁

New track. No real F1 reference. 22 corners. And La Monumental waiting.

This weekend could be chaos. 👀

Seeing Leclerc talk about having vision issues after that Monza crash is honestly scary. 😳

Glad he was able to walk away from it.

Hopefully the extra checks come back clear and he’s good to go for Madrid. ❤️

#F1 #CharlesLeclerc

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

@___shrikanth___ Yes and it did close,Russell didn’t put up any fight to be honest

[The Apex Report by Manuel @TheApexReportF]

DID MERCEDES GET THIS WRONG? 👀

Antonelli pitted under the VSC.
Russell stayed out on used hards.

The result?

Kimi hunted him down, passed him late and won Monza.

Strategy played a huge part in this one. 🧠
