Another one of the better Fridays of this year! Still not quite right for the high speed corners. Bit concerned about the potential deg on the tyres in this one!
Not quite right for high speed corners? How do you explain the purple S2 that has the highest speed corners on track and Charles and Carlos starting 2nd and 3rd and Carlos was only 0.15 off, even a short lap that's still less than 0.2s in a normal length track.
Judge it however you want but the car has made pretty significant progress in a small fast track that everyone was predicting RBR ahead by miles, especially miles ahead of Ferrari.
Race is a different beast, strategy can still mess everything up or even just plain reliability, but Ferrari was also the only pair, together with Max, to only use one set of softs in Q1 to get through, in FP1 Charles set his best times on the Hards after 20 odd laps, I'm not expecting a win, not even a double podium, but I'm happy that development is working.
