Ferrari once again looked strong in Friday free practice for the Australian Grand Prix this weekend, as Carlos Sainz and then Charles Leclerc topped the time-sheets in the two sessions at Albert Park.
Carlos Sainz ruthlessly outpaced Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and world champion Max Verstappen to clock the fastest time in opening practice at the Australian Grand Prix on Friday. The Spaniard powered round a revamped Albert Park circuit under clear skies with a best time of one minute 19.806 seconds among his 24 laps, largely on soft tyres. Early championship leader Leclerc, who won the season-opening race in Bahrain, was half a second slower on 1:20.377, fractionally ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez. Verstappen was fourth, 0.82secs off Sainz.
There is a claim emerging that Ferrari have not yet shown the full potential of their power unit this season, which is surely set to be daunting for the rest of the F1 field.
The Australian Grand Prix is back on the scene having not been held since 2019 and it could be advantage Red Bull in Melbourne if Charles Leclerc’s comments are anything to go by.
Former Formula 1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi has said that he cannot see anyone else joining Ferrari and Red Bull in the fight for the championship this season, such is the strength the two teams are showing.
Ferrari are being tipped to bring their first set of upgrades to their F1-75 for when the European season gets underway later this month in Imola.
Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto says that Red Bull are currently the favourites in Formula 1, even if the Scuderia are leading the way in both championships.
The Formula 1 2022 season continues this weekend with a long-awaited return to Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix!
