Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok has praised Ferrari for their “calmness” on the pit wall when making st🐷rategy decisions despite their defeat to McLaren in China.

Ferrari came away from Shanghai with fourth and fifth, finishing behind the two Red Bulls and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris, who drove a spectacular race to split 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez.

🦂Heading into the weekend, Ferrari were tipped to hold theℱ advantage over McLaren given the Woking outfit’s weakness in low-speed, traction zones.

However, it didn’t play out that w🍎ay as Norris finished well clear of the best Ferra꧋ri on Sunday.

Still, Ferrari maintained their impressive start to the year with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz finishing all five races inside the top five.

R💟eflecting on Ferrari’s weekend in China, Chandhok was impressed with how the team fared on the pit wall while explaining that their performance in China is unlikely going to be a common trend.

“There is a 🤪calmness,” he said. “There seems to be less chaos with strategy.

“We have to be careful with this track, it is an outlier in terms ofꦿ the layout and how the tyres are used, and the energy on the front axle rather 🐷than the rear.

“It ⭕is💎 a weird track, trying to read the form guide. So I think they’ll take fourth and fifth.”

Since the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel days, 🅷strategy has🅰 been something Ferrari have struggled with.

Particularly, their confusi𒐪ng communication between race engineer and driver.

Buꦬt under Frederic Vasseur’s leadership, things seem to have improved, highlighte⭕d by their consistent run of results.

19🍌96 F1 wor🔯ld champion Damon Hill believes the battle between Ferrari and McLaren will continue to be “tight” for the rest of the season.

“A lot was made of Charles’ run in Suzuka,” he added. ꧅“But he was in a gap in clean air. You can eke out a good result if you qualify well and do one stop 🧸when everyone else does two.

“If you’⛄re in a race, you need a car with an advantage. In [today’s] raceཧ they weren’t as good as the McLaren in the hands of Lando. So they are about the same, it will be tight between these two.”
