🏁 The 'Now' vs. 'Later' Shift

1. Current State (Right Now) We use simple words to describe the present:

  • Hamilton drives for Ferrari.
  • Ferrari has a good car.
  • He likes the engineers.

2. Future Plans (Coming Soon) When the drivers talk about what happens next, they use 'will':

  • Ferrari will try a new engine.
  • Alonso will decide in August.
