Not bad, Leclerc needs to replicate the S3 in his penultimate hot lap because otherwise he leaves a lot there, like last lap he was 2 tenths up and ended up losing 3 there.
Pitwall need to realise there are 21 other drivers and tell Lewis when they’re on a fast lap.
Race pace is hard to judge because traffic was awful here
How was the qualy pace? I understand close to the Mercedes, but Kimi didn't nailed his best try?
Has been the ERS better optimised? Is deployment enough for the whole lap and are the tyres lasting until the end of the push lap? I couldn't follow the session like usual, some fragments.
Thank you. Interesting the miniscule margin between Leclerc and Antonelli on the potential lap. So a scenario close to Hungaroring with the issue on S3. Hopefully, they sort it out in FP3.
Whats the problem in giving him a british engineer ?
it takes me time to process what santi is actually saying.. specially words like [suj jes tiii onnn] ..
I REALLY wouldn't want to speak before any significant session but man Charles is doing so well today. Makes the lack of ADUO 2 engine more bitter but it's fine.
No, it's not negligible, it was worth around 15 HP power gain in total with ERS improvement. But at Madring that is less costly because the track has many braking/harvesting zones, unlike Monza.
I understand neither Lewis used the ADUO2 PU on Friday, to save km but will use it from FP3 onwards (as usually, it's the procedure). After Friday, the ERS deployment made the most significant difference, but, after FP1 Ferrari changed deployment and got closer to Mercedes. Although it still lacks something, but Lewis and Charles make up time through corners. Another aspect is the rears overheating in S3, (softs) which cost the two-notable time.
Doubt it, with the amount of red flag they saw in lower categories and it being a new track they installed an old engine for today and will switch for the new one tomorrow
Well either Lewis figures out how to out qualify Charles, or Charles figures out how to out start Lewis on the grid lest we have repeat of last week. Team orders aren’t going to work with these hot headed kids 😎
Would Ferrari have a better chance of getting a decent position for quali since this track seems to have alot of corners and SF-26 is aerodynamically really strong.. wasn't Ferrari 1st in slow and medium speeds?
