The ‘fan‘ that began to fill the stands Monzathe ‘Temple of Speed’, they started smiling and clapping for their soul team, ferrari, who starred in the double to start the first free practice sessions of the Italian GP. However, the times in this first Free Training session should not be representative. They all have a lot of potential in their respective engines, and the proof is visible Verstappen in fifth position, 4 tenths behind Leclerc. Little can be trusted.
Max He will be penalized 5 places before Sunday’s starting grid, but he is still the favorite on a pure power track after changing his internal combustion engine.
Many drivers are accumulating penalties, so Leclerc will have a good chance this Saturday to take pole position before some fans get up from their seats at the sight of the red cars passing by. On Sunday, it’s another story.
Important tests at Ferrari
For now, Ferrari focused on working hard in Free Practice to compare the performance of its current floor and the previous specification to understand more about its development and seek explanations for its drop in Spa performance, similar characteristics to Monza, and the latest appointments in general. It didn’t prevent them from starting to take the lead, although that was anecdotal because it was only Friday. Leclerc prevailed by just 77 thousandths with respect to Carlos Sainz, with Russel 3rd at 0″279 and Hamilton fourth at 0″421.
For its part, another Red Bull, the one from Pérez, who will also start from the back due to the changing elements, once again suffered problems with his fragile but formidable DRSwhich prevented him from setting a good time and made him finish 14th, an unrealistic position for him.
Lots of penalties and good choices for Alonso
The many punishments mentioned above are done Alpine something big this weekend. At least for qualifying. If not VerstappenHamilton, Perez and a sainz that this Saturday should confirm his change of engine, they are all allowed, Only Leclerc is in front facing the ‘qualy’. The rest, a George Russell which at the moment started third, but knew that at Spa in ‘quality’ the Mercedes suffered to be fast on a top speed track due to its greater air resistance. Alpine I can try to fight him Mercedes and opt for another good starting position. For now, Stephen Ocon is 6th and Alonso7th, both within 6 tenths of the best and separated from each other by only 24 thousandths.
