The core strength of the Ferrari has been pinpointed after their unexpected pace on Friday at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc was fastest in both p🅘ractice sessions at his home round, where he famously won for the first time a year agꦗo.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was third-quickest on Friday afternoon to continue Ferrari’s optimism after Im🐟ola, their home race last weekend, where they finally discovered some performance on the Sunday.

The already unique challenge of the tight and twisting Monaco circuit will have a layer of complexity on Sunday by a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:new mandatory two-stop rule.

But Ferrari are well-placed after Friday, and Je🔥nson Button 𒉰spotted the key to the SF-25’s speed.

“Even their drivers said that they wouldn’t 🍒be quick today,” Button told Sk🦩y Sports.

“Looking at the speed traces, and the s⛎ectors where they are quick, they 𒀰might be running more power today than others.

“But, still. The ca♏r 𒉰looks good out on track. They are able to get their front tyres working, which is the big thing.

“We heard from James Vowles at Williamꦆs, a lot of teams are struggling for front tyre grip, and getting it in working grip.

“The Ferrari can.🦹 So it has a really good front end, and you need that around a str💖eet circuit.

“That’s where their strength lies at the moment.”

Saturda𒀰y qualifying sessions have traditionally been a weakness, for Hamilton in particular, dating back two years through his final Mercedes days.

But in Monaco he w𓃲ill arrive into arguably the most important qualifying session of the year comfortab♐le with his competitive car.

Oscar Piastri backed despite F1 Monaco GP crash

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, the F1 standings leader, split t💎he Ferraris as the second-fastest on Friday.

That was despite cras🌞hing in FP2 in the afternoon, a rare error.

“A little momꦡen🅺t like that can happen,” Sky Sports’ Naomi Schiff analysed.

“It was an easy mistake, a little lock-up𝐆. And you end up in the wall.

“It didn’t really cost them anyt♏hing in terms of time.✨ They came in, a new front wing, and he was straight back out.

“He’s clearly confident in that car. Around here, that’s what you need. You need confidence that when you stick the car in, ♈it follows what you are doing.”

Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Yuki🔯꧃ Tsunoda were 10th and 11th respectively.

“It wasn’t a great day for Red Bull, having the Racing Bulls up the road,” said Button, noting the sister team’s Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar finishing fifth and si♈xth respectively.

“[Red Bull] seem to be struggling.

“It looks like, when you watch him drive, that there is a lot of understeer in that car. One ཧthing Max doesn’t like in an F1 car is understeer.”
