CL just before the red flag

[nhiepka]

seem like we have make a mistake by choosing low DF.

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc 33.413 in the final sector. I don't think Alonso would've got close to that time, but NTH, unlucky.

[stefa]

Poor CS, he missed the red flag by second

[JacKy]

Sainz unrecorded lap was 1.18:388 (-0.010 from Perez)

[Kyss4k]

Leclerc 33.413 in the final sector. I don't think Alonso would've got close to that time, but NTH, unlucky.

All he needed was 33.6 and he would have ben on pole. That was possible.

[JacKy]

Wondering if pull rod suspension does help porpoising

[tifosi1993]

All he needed was 33.6 and he would have ben on pole. That was possible.

His previous best was 34.020, so he needed 4 tenths improvement in that sector. Don't think that was possible.

[nhiepka]

good point. I think so

[gump1480]

I think we need atleast 1.18:00 to be in it for fighting for P1

[elnano14]

Maybe ? The McLaren is also one of the cars that has least porpoising problem out there with Redbull and both of them use pull rod suspension

[JacKy]

The track might lose some traction during red flag.

[tifosi1993]

POOOOOLE.

CHARLES LECLERC YOU BEAUTY.

[JacKy]

Lets goooooooo

[Kyss4k]

CLAP CLAP YES CLAP!!!

Sainz though...

[Schumiklub]

Charles is a monster! But what happened to Carlos? I only watched the live timing.

[gump1480]

Man....this lad is some qualifier !!!
Sainz pathetic...this is what differentiates great from very good.

[tifosi1993]

Sainz though...

Choked when it matters, again.

[stefa]

[stefa]

CS needs to pick up his game!!!!

[gump1480]

Charles is a monster! But what happened to Carlos? I only watched the live timing.

Made a mistake on his second lap in Q3...was robbed off the first run laptime by Redflag

[nhiepka]

what the hell CS ....

[JacKy]

Wow the support for Leclerc from fans increasing every race.

[elnano14]

Best driver on the grid right now, man driving like a mad man ♥
Tomorrow is tricky, one car vs 2 Redbull cars in front...

[stefa]

15 years since last pole in Australia for Ferrari

[tpe]

Made a mistake on his second lap in Q3...was robbed off the first run laptime by Redflag

I was screaming on the screen to let him out EARLY to make a lap and then try to improve it.
IMHO this was a strategy mistake. See what Mercedes did, it was the right thing.

[Ferrarichamp]

quite poor from Sainz, but if Charles wins the race I'll be happy.

[gump1480]

Till now in FP1 Sainz looks pretty confident. I just hope he doesn't falter when it matters the most. Leclerc will improve as the weekend progresses.
My wish: even with 4 DRS zones we must demolish these Redfools in the traction zones.

Again choked....Sainz is destined to be a second tier driver.

[gump1480]

quite poor from Sainz, but if Charles wins the race I'll be happy.

But now it's 2 vs 1 ...Redfools can play with their strategy. CS what a choker

[paolo lalli]

Carlos had a siesta, iam afraid he does not have the killer instinct analysis everything way to much a genuine sleepy head.He must be wondering what happened.He must improve during the race to support Charles,wow what a driver He is super fast very good looking and he drives a ferrari success aplenty awaits this young gun.
