And more importantly: the Mexican had no opponent directly behind him. Like the day before, when Hamilton sucked up the manhole cover and was run over by Leclerc in the Ferrari. Conclusion: The cracked subfloor, which cost several tons, had to be replaced (Blick reported).
Now if you don’t have a good car…
After 90 minutes, things continued and the teams agreed to forgo the one-hour lunch break on the third and final day of testing. You probably need every lap to know where you really stand. If you don’t have a good car now, you won’t be able to build one in 2024. Those who are in trouble now will remain so.
The 75th World Cup season will start here next Thursday with the first training. The Bahrain GP will then take place on Saturday at 4:00 PM CET (live TV) due to Ramadan and the second race a week later in Jeddah.
Four want it super soft
At halftime Sainz was ahead of Pérez, Norris, Stroll, Hamilton and Bottas. The circumstances? Ideal, 25 degrees, no clouds and little wind for once. That’s why they moved from Barcelona to the Gulf years ago for the preliminary tests.
Shortly afterwards, the first driver with super-soft C5 rubber was on the 5.4 km long desert highway: Sir Lewis Hamilton (39) in the Mercedes. Only the Silver Arrows, Ferrari, Williams and Kick-Sauber had each ordered two sets of qualifying tires on their wish list for Pirelli (all teams were allowed to choose 35 sets).
Be careful with show rounds
Hamilton’s first C5 attempt failed. At Kick-Sauber, where they are still looking for form, Chinese Guanyu Zhou (24) will be able to enjoy the softest rubber in Formula 1 at the grand test final at dusk in Bahrain.
Such show rounds often distort the overall picture after three days. But the big teams are not fooled by this. They know their own worth. Red Bull-Honda certainly no longer has to manipulate the times for the gallery or the sponsors.
