A crackling start. Ferrari in Melbourne convinces and also a lot. In fact, the Maranello team picks up from where it stopped two weeks ago in Jeddah. On Friday of free practice Sainz takes home the first free practice session, while Leclerc sets the best time in the second session. Tomorrow will be a close fight in qualifying, with both riders trying to find pole. Carlos Sainz must try who, at the end of the first session, declared:
“It was an interesting Friday, as there were a lot of new elements to take into consideration compared to the last time we raced here. The track is completely different from how I remembered it and it's definitely faster. The renewed asphalt gave me completely different sensations. We still need to work on the behavior of the tires, but overall I think we have a good starting point to start preparing for tomorrow's qualifying".
