Charles Lecle🍃rc does not expect the true pecking order of the 2019 Formula 1 season to be revealed until qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix. 

Ferrari’s new recruit previously suggested its chief rival Mercedes has been 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:sandbagging throughout testing and has refused to read too much into the timings a💙s a result. 

Leclerc set the pace on the penultimate morning of pre-season testing as he recorded the fastest lap of the winter so far on a 1m16.231s, and the Monegasqu♔e said his eye-catching lap time was not “flat out”.

“☂Obviously I think as every team we are not flat out,” he explained. 

“There’s still some margin, a bit obviously in myself. I still hav💃e to learn, I get more comfortable with the 💃car lap after lap and with the car itself, so it’s looking good for now.

“I think we are looking strong at the moment whether they [Mercedes] are sandbagging m♉ore or less or whatsoever we don’t know,” Leclerc added. 

“It’s difficult to say as it’s testing a♔nd we’ll only know in qualifying [in Melbourne] but for now we are pretty happy with the job we’re doing.”&nbs♋p;

Asked if he would bet with 🦹his own money on Ferrari being the fastest, Leclerc repl𝔍ied: “At the moment I’m happy, so yes!” 

Leclerc racked up 56 laps on his return to the cockpit of Ferrari’s SF90 as the team recove🎐red from its truncated running on Wednesday following 🐈Sebastian Vettel’s hefty crash. 

“The car hasn’t changed since day✱ o𝓀ne to be honest,” Leclerc added. 

“It feels comfortable💞 - from day one the balance is pretty nice and it hasn’t changed today, so it’s a positive day. 

“Especially after the lack of running yesterd🌼ay it’s a good morning for us, an✃d it’s good to be on top but it doesn’t mean anything.”
