Norris on hards behind Leclerc isn’t exactly gaining hand over fist. Aka he’s not gaining. granted he’s defending so we’ll see what happens when Perez gets past.

Gap went from 3 to 3.7 seconds. If Ferrari are racing the mclarens, they’re doing well. Remembering that Charles is on 21 lap old mediums to McLaren’s much younger hard tyres. The FP pace was not a ‘hoax’.

Redbull was (obviously) always out of reach.

[SoulPancake13]

Charles faster than the McLaren pair. Wow. On old mediums.

[dialtone]

Wow. I’m shaking. Massive move from Ferrari and LEC. Magnificent.

If Charles gets P3, I never want to hear anything about Charles tyre management again

[JPBD1990]

This is hugely impressive of Ferrari. If they can carry this advantage in tyre wear into their hard stint then they’ve jumped, with Leclerc: Norris, Piastri, Alonso, Hamilton, and possibly Sainz. Their only hope now is a safety car, which knowing our luck, they’ll get.

[JPBD1990]

FP race pace looks sort of hoax now, Lec off by 2 sec each lap tugged behind Piastri,

Feeling silly yet?

[CouncilorIrissa]

Massive tyre management by Leclerc. Tyre whisperer.

Obviously he's washed. /s

[JPBD1990]

What are they doing with Sainz though? What benefit is there to keeping him out now? He’s going to be behind Charles, Perez, and likely Norris. Possibly Russel? Weird.

Edit: AND Hamilton!

Nobody is keeping Sainz on new tires behind except maybe LEC

[Schippke]

Let me guess… they’ll let Charles close right up to Sainz and then act as rear gunner to protect him? So they don’t look like they would through Carlos under a bus and putting him/falling behind Charles?

Just Ferrari things…

This is coming back in play...nice work by strategy team

Ferrari has miscalculated the setup for qualification...doubts were raised in the factory when the race simulation looked too gud on p2. Race simulation was showing 0.5 /0.6 s seconds ahead of redbull .ferrari continued with the same setup after multiple iterations and assuming will qualify 0.2 to 0.3 s below to redbull ( second row lockout )and catchup during the race...it has kind of slightly back fired and as the tires had no bite on asphalt lead to poor qualy...expect better race pace during the race but it is going to be very difficult to overtake due to one drs zone...lot in hands of race strategy team...p3 and p4 is still possible

[Mansell89]

Ferraris tyre work here is mighty impressive around this high speed track.

What a baseline car they have this year - only RBR in Max’s hands is ahead IMO.

Ferrari should be a threat at certain tracks now- I don’t see Melbourne as a one off.

[JPBD1990]

Charles’ pace is looking a tad vulnerable to Norris at this stage. Graining?
