2022 French Grand Prix - Buildup, Practice & Qualifying Thread

How on earth are we 1 sec faster than RB on the same tyre? Wow!

Monster lap…Ferrari flexing its muscle before q3! 9 tenths up on Verstappen. Incredible.

And Merc supposed to win this race, over 2 seconds off the pace. Lol delusional sky…

Does CL need to go out on new tires?

[ferrari1.8t]

Lec .135 down on Saniz. He might be able to get pole on his own, however it makes sense to give him a tow to be sure to get pole.

Probably won't use them in the race

[PURE PASSION]

Will we go under 1:30??

[tifosi1993]

We've made a decent step forward with the floor. But I'm still worried about reliabilities.

[ntukza]

INCREDIBLE!

Charles doesn't need any help. Sainz has the new PU which is a free lap time gain. There's no need for go out and put it under stress.

I'm worried about race pace. Reliability is an ongoing concern until we make reliability upgrades to the engine.

[RossTheBoss]

Wow. Ferrari were hiding tons of speed during practice sessions, which seems to be a pattern.

I hope the team utilize Sainz to give Leclerc a tow.

[ferrari1.8t]

With a tow lec not able to match Saniz q2 lap, plus only .008 ahead of Verstappen. Hmm?

[PURE PASSION]

Ooο close!!!!

[Tifoso Svedese]

Can definitely be done better but it's good to be ahead now in case of a yellow later.

[stefa]

Not that much help from a tow

[tifosi1993]

More to come from Charles

[gump1480]

So much for 1 s faster

[PURE PASSION]

I think Lec didn't manage to get a tow from Sainz

[elnano14]

I think we botched the tow

[PURE PASSION]

It's so close. Lec must deliver one of his master laps to secure it

[stefa]

2nd try

[JacKy]

2nd sector times at tfeed and the TV feed is different like +0.11sec. Dunno why

[ntukza]

So much for 1 s faster

True. I take that back.

[458 Italia]

Great lap!!

[ferrari1.8t]

And P1!! Yes baby!!

[ntukza]

But quite frankly we've lost so many races the season from pole that I really don't care much for pole. I hope that our race pace is better than RB.

Charles says “grande Carlos”…respect!

[drax]

[stefa]
