Ferrari He again showed his great speed in a turn. Verstappen fly to Austrian GP who took pole, and with ‘Checo’ out of the game for exceeding track limits in Q2 (he was 15th), the two Ferraris were the closest to Verstappen. Leclerc was 2nd at 48 thousandths and Carlos Sainz, 3rd at 0″190. But don’t rush to conclusions. Ferrari having a fast car in the turns at the very beginning of the course, this is nothing new. Now, what you should see is if on Sunday those in red replicate the good pace they raced in Canada.

In Canada, tire wear was reduced on a track with low temperatures and the Ferrari performed perfectly, but the question is whether what was seen in Montreal was something specific due to the characteristics of the Canadian asphalt or whether the Ferrari will again melt into the race for its destruction. In Barcelona, two races ago, Sainz started 2nd and could not push his car due to massive tire wear. Ferrari is expected to make a move in this regard and should confirm this weekend. For now, Carlos Sainz is pleased with the group’s progress and being close to Max’s Red Bull in one lap in Austria. The Spaniard hopes that Leclerc’s fight for a double podium will calm the waters at Ferrari’s home ground a little.
“It’s been a good quality, we’ve had a good quality as a team, I feel we’ve made good progress lately and we’re maybe closer than expected to Max (Verstappen). I think overall we have to be happy” , comments the Madrid Ferrari driver.
“There is still a long weekend and at least now we are in a good position for Sunday, to try to get a podium in both cars and tomorrow will be a different day, with different weather, different track conditions and it can be a very different photo, so we will have to be focused”, he said in relation to this Saturday, where an independent day will be held with sprint classification and sprint race. This Saturday, the sprint ‘qualy’ is expected to be wet. , so the grid order for Saturday’s short race may be different from what was seen on Friday.
“Today we are in the ‘parc fermé’ (the park is closed, you cannot change the configuration of the car), so for tomorrow we will not improve, but we will try to refine the small details to find a tenth or two for in the qualifying ‘sprint shoot-out’. But tomorrow the conditions will be very different”, concluded Sainz.
