Ferrari's promising start to the Formula One season continued on Friday as they dominated free practice at the Australian Grand Prix. However, there was more bad news for struggling Mercedes at a revamped Albert Park.
Lewis Hamilton cut a frustrated figure after admitting the opening two practice sessions at the Australian Grand Prix have left Mercedes with much to ponder. The Silver Arrows’ weekend got off to a difficult start in first practice as both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished well off the pace of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who finished top of the timing charts and headed a Scuderia one-two at Albert Park. Ad/> Things didn’t get much better in second practice for a team looking to record a ninth straight constructors’ title, with both of Mercedes’ drivers over a second behind eventual victor Charles Leclerc.
MELBOURNE: Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc said Friday there was still work to do despite going quickest in second practice at the Australian Grand Prix ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, with Lewis Hamilton only managing 13th. Monaco’s Leclerc, the early season championship leader, was outpaced by team-mate Carlos Sainz in the first 60-minute run at a revamped Albert Park. But Leclerc fired an ominous warning in the second session with a leading time of 1min 18.978 secs, with reigning world champion Verstappen 0.245secs behind after a late surge.
Leclerc fue el más rápido y Verstappen el segundo, pero cualquiera que siguiera vuelta a vuelta las dos primeras sesiones de entrenamientos libres en Australia vio que Carlos Sainz fue el más rápido en ambas mientras estuvo en la pista con neumáticos blandos, y que sólo cuando regresó al garaje para montar los neumáticos medios, mientras las condiciones de la pista seguían mejorando, su compañero y el campeón rebajaron sus registros. El madrileño se mantuvo constantemente más veloz que el monegasco este viernes en Albert Park, con un par de décimas de margen, y la mejoría por su parte con respecto a Bahréin y Arabia Saudí parece un hecho, el arranque en Melbourne ha sido inmejorable. Fue tercero en la tabla de tiempos, pero el golpe de moral ante la tercera carrera de la temporada es importante. Ya no son dos los que se disputarán la pole este fin de semana, y posiblemente la victoria. Deben ser tres.
