Leclerc 219 kmh in T6, that's 2020 Q3 level mercedes/RB speeds, but still lacks a bit in T7.
Ferrari is very fast in the corners
Really interesting dynamic with these cars. Can keep up in 200+ kmh corners, but lose a lot sub 200 kmh. I guess ground effect scales up dramatically with speed, as opposed to old wing dominated cars more linear increase.

Hamilton is losing over 4 tenths in sector 2, what did they do to the car lol
They're missing a little in fast corners I think.

I think it's also the heaviness in slow speed corners. It looks promising that this year we are getting close in high speed to the old regulations.
