“He was straight up to speeဣd and comfortable with the car. So it’s good. I’m happy for him, obviously.

“It’s a very special day – the first race in Ferrari having done only one session, I guess is even more special. So I hope that tomorrow we can have a gr⭕eat race, both of us and score good points for the team.”

Bearman admitt♎ed he was disappointeܫd about failing to reach Q3 after a “messy” second qualifying session.

"At the m🧸oment not so proud, the racer in me knows that the car was quick enough to be in Q3, so a little bit disappointed with that,” he told Sky.

"But I know that when I look back in a couple 🅺of days I'll be quite proud of what I've managed to do today.

"The goal was to d𒁏o as many laps as possible. Especially at night, I missed FP2 which is not ideal. That was the goal.

"The soft tyre lasts quite well, it's quite durable, so just tried to get as many laps i🎃n Q1. Q2 was a bit more messy, a few mistakes on my side, so t🌠hat's where I'm disappointed."
