Formula 1 | Ferrari in China to put pressure on Red Bull

La Ferrari it is unquestionably the second strength of the championship so far. The team led by Frederic Vasseur fly in China with the awareness of having to refine some details to be able to truly compete with the Red Bull on a weekend in which there will only be one free practice session due to the format of the Sprint Race, and for this reason therefore the work in the single hour of testing on Friday will be extremely important. Leclerc he needs to improve in the qualifying lap, or rather, in tire preparation, an element that did not allow him to compete for the victory in Melbourne and for the podium a Suzuka. Objective? Really put pressure on Verstappen and his team.

“We find the Shanghai track again after many years and undoubtedly what we have ahead of us is a very challenging weekend – Vasseur said. We will have to deal with several concomitant factors: the current generation cars will be making their debut on this circuit, but we will only have one free practice session available before playing for positions on the starting grid of the Sprint Race."

“Another big question mark will be linked to the conditions of the asphalt, which could be rougher than we remember. As always with this weekend format it will be essential to have worked well at home and as far as we are concerned we will also have to improve on the management of the preparation lap in qualifying, where recently we have not been perfect. The objective, with both Carlos and Charles, is to maximize the potential of the car and bring home a solid result while trying to put pressure on our rivals."
