Hang on, that's Abu Dhabi!
Watched post race interview and both of them looked quite downbeat. Carlos said RB are 1 step ahead in qualy, and it's 1.5 in race pace. Charles is saying more or less the same things with different words.
Sainz gained 0.2 on Charles in T1 and pretty much the same in T10. Must be setup otherwise pole was definitely on the cards for CLdialtone wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 18:57https://i.imgur.com/j5h1e8A.jpeg
LEC v VER
* T1 was slower for Ferrari all the past 2 weeks
* T13 with a mistake for LEC
* The engine is powerful: exit from T10 and through the straight keeping up with RBR and finishing on the same speed despite starting off with later acceleration out of the corner.
As testing so far has shown Ferrari has struggled here on slow speed corners.
Tomorrow it will be tough, SAI just said they degrade faster than RBR, the new set of tires is worth 5 seconds in the first stint so they are starting on softs.
LEC expected to be further away in quali. Says that RBR/AM are far ahead on race pace, I don't think they were dealing with the same stint still.
Leclerc has always been a pessimist. Sainz has always been an optimist.
“Good strategic decision”. This is refreshing to hear. First one of 2023 looks to be a good one. The first race could be interesting with 3 rookies and lots of team changes.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 18:15Good Q session, they need to get to know the car a bit more and there's 2-3 tenths in that for sure. Leclerc likely had another tenth and I think it was a good strategic decision to save a set. Let's see how the race goes, not a bad thing for them to keep chasing, Checco won't be untouchable for either Ferrari at all.
Monaco will be difficult this year !dialtone wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 18:57https://i.imgur.com/j5h1e8A.jpeg

Fixed - there is no way you could compete without that part. It is very important for performance; think of it like losing some of your bargeboard.motobaleno wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 19:24any news about leclerc damage in Q1? did they manage to fix it or charles time has been obtained with a damaged car?
