2024 Bahrain Grand Prix - Practice & Qualifying Thread

So one can say he CRACKED under pressure

He is regarded currently as the fastest driver on single lap by many F1 pundits, I don't think pressure bothers him much

[ferrari1.8t]

too bad he couldn't reproduce it when it mattered

Leclerc made a point of mentioning after immediately qualifying that he didn’t have the right tires available on his first run and his qualifying was compromised. He said it again on all of the Ferrari socials…Xavi is garbage and has only one job, to sabotage Leclerc any chance he gets. The fact that he is still his race engineer is baffling to me. Ferrari will never, ever succeed with unqualified, biased engineers working for them. I am so happy that Charles finished his lap even after Xavi told him to abort.

Fred needs to clean up this clown show and sack Xavi asap.

Correct. LEC was on used soft on final attempt while VER on new, plus the tow.

No he was not! Leclerc was on slightly used on his FIRST Q3 attempt. He had new ones on the second. Please, get your facts straight.

My bad. Anyway it’s not that the car wasn’t capable but more to adaptation (in such limited time left)

Compare to RB and Merc we have 1 more new hard tyres but no new medium . That medium set was used in the first run in Q1 .

RB has way better options with tiers then Ferrari.
As far as I remember they used SHS last year

Couldn’t agree more with the point you make on Xavi

And Ferrari have no NEW softs either.

No one except Red Bull have new softs
They are the only one who can do S-S-H or S-H-S on the grid due to their non-existence tyres deg

[elnano14]

The C2 medium will likely not be used in the race
It will be S-S-H / S-H-S for Red Bull and S-H-H for everyone else

The first race for our WEC team is not going well at all. Surely F1 team will win today or there will be riots in Italy!

Yeah, I saw that bump with the McLaren and the whole rear end cover of the 499P came off in one piece. Luckily, the other cars following didn't get hit by that huge piece of carbon fiber. The 499P had to come in for a new rear piece.
