Didn't hear the radio but if Leclerc is happy, I am happy. Points is on Sunday. With the pit crew doing a great job, the team had added advantage there. Till car is fully sorted, this is all one can achieve. Lewis is there as well. Which is great.Space-heat wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 14:42Yeah, Race Pace was great. However, the Engine and Fuel are unknown.
Charles was saying, "looks good, no?, first time I heard that since FP2 Imola last year when the shark mouth intake debuted and the "6 tenth" gain. Trying to maintain hope levels as early days.
FYI Norris and Piastri were running different RW specs (Piastri had a higher DF RW). It would explain the difference.evered7 wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 15:05Didn't hear the radio but if Leclerc is happy, I am happy. Points is on Sunday.

Yes. Race pace for them looks similar but Piastri nowhere in qualifying. Hopefully Ferrari will do better first sector with improved grip on track.Space-heat wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 15:33FYI Norris and Piastri were running different RW specs (Piastri had a higher DF RW).

HAM has always been good around this track so I expect him to either be ahead or very close to LEC on Saturdayevered7 wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 15:05Didn't hear the radio but if Leclerc is happy, I am happy.

I agree. For me the most important thing from these sessions is if the drivers are comfortable in the car and right now they are. We just need to keep this level across different track conditions... We've had some weekends this season where come qualifying they suddenly couldn't figure out the tires. But I have more confidence when the drivers are vocally pleased with the balance.Space-heat wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 14:42Yeah, Race Pace was great. However, the Engine and Fuel are unknown.

Yeah it's funny isn't everyone said that Mercedes would be hurt the most by this and Ferrari would gain... well look who has the worst balance. Has to be taken into account the W16 operates best on high speed circuits but alas it looks very balanced and the Ferrari looks like ---
