If we only looked at the single lap, we could say with certainty that Ferrari is back. On rehearsal Friday libereMax Verstappen snatches the best performance followed immediately by the two Redheads by Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
Ferrari, you're there in qualifying
It was a particular Friday for the Monegasque. His third place, which is equivalent to the podium conquered seven days ago in Baku, shows that the Monegasque and his SF-23 are in the clear fight for pole. On the flying lap, Ferrari appears to be an excellent car. Instead, the rhythm on the race pace should be interpreted, considering that the Monegasque went to the block ten minutes from the end of FP2, preventing practically all the others from having precise indications in view of Sunday's race.
Leclerc: "We're still missing something on race pace"
It is therefore a Ferrari still to be understood 100% but which confirms the new updates. In fact, a new bottom was mounted on both SF-23s which gave good guarantees. In this regard, we report the words of Leclerc who analyzed his Friday on the track: “The sensations in the car are good over one lap. As far as race pace is concerned, however, we are still missing something compared to our rivals and we are working on this aspect. Let's see what we can achieve tomorrow."
