Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher noticed “some tension” at Ferrari after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc’s impressive recovery at the Chinese Grand Prix.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a strong start to the weekend last time out in Shanghai, dominati♑ng the sprint part of the weekend.

Hamilton took pole in sprint qualifying before taking a comfortable sprint race 🐈victory.

Ferrari failed to replicate this in 🍃qualifying, settling for fifth and sixth on the gr𝔍id for the main grand prix.

It was a disastrous Sunday as Ferrari l🦩acked pace relative to the top three teams.

Matters were made worse🎃 for Ferrari as their two cars were disqualified for💫 technical infringements.

, Schumacher sai🐷d: “When you don’t know the team that well, you’re new, until you get the hang of it, until your engineer understands yo🔯u, it takes a few months, and I think you saw that on Sunday.

“Of course, it wasn’t in free air, which makes a big difference in China, and his teammate passed him with the broken wing because I have to say, for the aerodynamicists, put six ⛄broken front wings in, they will work justꦇ as well or better than a whole one.

“So, it’s a bit of a hard one to understand, but I think he did a good, s𝔉olid job, and I think Ch𝔉arles Leclerc also woke up. I think that annoyed him, and there was some tension. Hamilton wasn’t used to being told to drive fast on the teammate’s side.”

Hamilton ‘proved’ he still has the speed

S👍chumacher believes China was a breakthrough weekend for Hamilto꧃n, who proved “he still has the speed”.

It was the first time Hamilton ൲had won a sprint race since the format was introduced 𒆙for 2021.

More importantly, Hamilton hit the ground running in 🌜terms of pa🦩ce - something that wasn’t often the case at Mercedes.

“What🌸 did ♔surprise me is that he really got on really well with the car in the first practice session, and that was always such an issue for him,” Schumacher explained.

“He brakes like that and couldn’t turn in and then he says, mꩵan, I drove here, first lap, and of course it worked straight away, and the track suits me. This means that everything came together, which makes me happy because it proves that he still has the speed because that’s always a bit of a question as you get older.

“So he has the speed now, it’s just a question of can he keep it up, that’s whꦗat I meant from the start.”
