It was certainly not the start hoped for at home Ferrari. The Maranello stable concludes in FP2 of the Saudi Arabian GP al ninth place with Charles Leclerc and tenth with Carlos Sainz.
Ferrari is hiding
Not an exceptional result, but it's fair to consider that it's only Friday. In fact, Ferrari seemed to be more fuel-charged than the other teams, and above all quite low on engine. Suffice it to consider that Haas, which is powered by a Red car, snatched eighth place with Nico Hulkenberg.
Leclerc: "It's hard to say where we are"
It will certainly not be an easy weekend for Charles Leclerc who will be forced into a great comeback. In fact, the Monegasque will have to serve ten positions of penalty for mounting the third unit. In the best of hypotheses, which see the Ferrari driver take pole tomorrow, Leclerc would start eleventh in the race. It won't be easy, but Charles believes it: “We tested some new parts today and they worked as expected. However, it is difficult to get an idea of our competitiveness as the various teams had different programmes. The sensations in the car up to this point are good. Tomorrow we'll try to get the most out of qualifying but, having to serve a ten-place penalty on the grid, we'll focus mainly on the race and how to make up positions on Sunday”.
