“We have an incredible crowd here this week⛄end, first time seeing the support here for Ferrari.

"Generally, the sessions went ♐well. We got through all the sessions. A bit worrying to see the crash at Turn 1, gla🐽d to see he [Doohan] is ok.

💜"It's quite gusty, so you get a big headwind through The Esses and that is when the track is the fastest, but it felt great.

"We got through all the progr๊amme, we got some performa💛nce we need to pick up. We are not the quickest at the moment but I think it's a good baseline.”

It has been a difficult start to the season for Ferrari, but after taking sprint pole position and winning the shortened race in China last time out, H🐭amilton feels he is making further progress with the SF-25.

The 40-year-old Briton said he is final🤡ly beginning ꦗto understand how to get the best out of Ferrari’s package.

"I've not been 𝕴focusing massively on what everyone else has been doing. I've been focusing on learning as much as I can and continue to grow with the team,” he explained.

"From weekend to weekend I'm getting more comfortable in the surroundings and in the car, just re💝membering everything that's within the cockpit and also the settings, I'm understanding more of the set-up changes that we can do.

"For example, between those two sessions, I'm starting to get to a point where I can push the car in a direction and know which🍎 tools I have to put the car in a 🌞better place, so I'm getting more comfortable with it.

"I expect that to just continue over all the races🧸." 

Leclerc finished third in FP1 and was seventh-🙈fastest in FP2. 

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took turns in setting the pace as McLaren toppe𒁏d b♛oth sessions.
