The team principal of the team comments on the performance of the two drivers in the free of Gedda: “I don’t have the feeling that so far we have extracted the best from the car, or perhaps on some occasions, in some sessions”
Ferrari arrives in Saudi Arabia Looking for redemption: in this start of the season he has not shone and neither of the two pilots ever climbed to the podium, except for that of the sprint with the victory of Hamilton. Over the weekend in Bahrain, the team had brought a new bottom to bring more aerodynamic load and, given the confirmations obtained by the data, also confirmed it to Gedda. On Saudi Friday there was the usual two -sided team, with Leclerc that marks the fourth half in the FP2 and Hamilton the thirteenth. At the end of the two sessions is Fred Vasseur who comments on the performance of the two SF-25s.

The Team Principal della Rossa, who spoke to the official F1 channels, confirms what is the good one seen during the last race in Bahrain, not yet enough, however, to be able to give a victory: “As every week we want to take a step forward compared to last weekend. In the last GP we had improved, but we had not been quite constant throughout the weekend in every condition; we had very good Stints and others. Machine is potential, we just have to do a better job “. The problem therefore lies in being able to extract all the potential from the single -seater, which is still fast. At the press conference continues: “The ingredients are all there, but now it is like cooking, and we have to put the ingredients together at the right time. Honestly, I don’t have the feeling that so far we have extracted the best from the car, or perhaps on some occasions, in some sessions. But I would say that it applies to us and for the others. Even McLaren, with the step that has compared to the rest of the grill, sometimes it happens that one of its cars is a little more effort.
Vasseur on Hamilton

The whole Maranello team is in difficulty, but there is a person who is the emblem of this not simple moment: Lewis Hamilton, who arrived in January between the enthusiasm of all over Italy, is still struggling with the adaptation to the new single -seater after 12 years in Mercedes. The seven -time world champion has repeatedly publicly admitted his difficulties in adaptation, explaining how patience takes us. At the end of the free free, Vasseur’s comment arrives: “The question of the driving style? It is true for Lewis but it is true for everyone. Surely the pilots have to adapt their style to the track, to the setup of the car, to the balance and so on, but the team must do the same job in the opposite direction. We are working as a team with Lewis and Charles and we are going on all together.”
