Verstappen: Ferrari is faster

After Friday's free practice, which he finished in second place, Max Verstappen admitted that his team still has a lot of work to do if they want to get closer to Ferrari. The Maranello team is expected to be faster this weekend, despite the updates Red Bull brought to Jeddah. "We have productive free practice behind us. We have completed the planned program and tested different tire mixes. Ferrari looks very fast again, so we still have a lot of work to do if we want to get closer to them. But we still have a lot of room for improvement." "The changes on the track are almost imperceptible. Slightly shifted fences are not a significant improvement in visibility on the track. So before the qualifiers we have a lot of work to do if we want to fight for the best starting position."

Daniel Ricciardo started the fastest in Bahrain

formula 1

Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest time of the first free practice in Bahrain. Valtteri Bottas managed to get closer to him. Given that qualifying and the race will take place at night, the racers did a small number of laps at the start of the training. Due to engine problems, Max Verstappen spent practically the entire training in the garage, completed only two laps, and did not set a time. The best racer outside the top three teams was Haas Roman Grosjean this time. Good training is also behind Tor Ross racer Pierre Gasly, who set the seventh time. Place Racer Team Time Difference 1. Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 1: 31.060 2. Valtteri Bottas Mercedes 1: 31.364 0.304 3. Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 1: 31.458 0.398 4. Sebastian Vettel Ferrari 1: 3

Hamilton on top of the first free practice

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time of the first free practice in Melbourne. He was best approached by his teammate Valtteri Bottas, who was half a second behind him. The best of the others this time was Max Verstappen, who was 0,745 seconds behind the Briton. Sebastian Vettel was the first to drive on the track, but we waited 20 minutes for someone to set the time. The first to set the time was Formula 1 rookie Sergey Sirotkin, but soon after that, Kimi Raikkonen, Valtteri Bottas and both Red Bulls also set their times. Behind Verstappn, who were third, both Ferraris-Raikkonen finished ahead of Vettl. The sixth time, however, was set by home trump Daniel Ricciardo. Both McLaren had trouble starting training as they both sat in the first hour of training

First training sessions for Hamilton and Vettl

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton won his first free practice for the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuki, and in the second, the Red Bull racers reigned supreme in the timetables. Vettel overtook his teammate Mark Webber by 1 seconds in the afternoon training with a time of 33.852: 0.168, which he put on medium-hard tires. The third fastest was Nico Rosberg with a Mercedes. We saw quite a few spins in both training sessions, and the most dramatic was perhaps the trip of Sergio Perez, who flew into the protective tires in the thirteenth turn.

The last Singapore training session for Vettl

formula 1

Sebastian Vettel got his third free practice on Saturday morning after his second free practice on Friday. The Red Bull racer overtook Lotus racer Romain Grosjean by 1 seconds with a time of 44.173: 0.191, which he placed on a softer tire compound, and Mercedes Nico Rosberg was third. Most of the last preparations before the qualifications were again marked by longer series of laps on a harder mix. Mark Webber was the fastest in this phase with a time of 1: 46.220, and his teammate Sebastian Vettel took the initiative in the last ten minutes, when the racers installed even softer tires on the cars. Grosjean, who faced many technical problems on Friday, apparently picked himself up on Saturday morning and set the second fastest time of the third free practice. The third was Nico
