Ferrari, opposing views after first day at Imola for Leclerc and Hamilton

This is how Charles Leclerc comments on the work done today at Imola ahead of next Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix: “The first free practice was a bit’ complicated and we had some difficulties, while in the second one we managed to put together something better, but we still lack performance”.

“Our race pace seemed decent but Imola is a circuit on which overtaking is rather difficult– stressed the Ferrari Monegasque – and since now our weak point is the performance in qualifying, this will therefore be our priority ahead of tomorrow”.

Reverse assessment, however, from Lewis Hamilton, according to whom “the first session was positive, the balance was good and there did not seem to be much to change. And instead FP2 proved more challenging because I struggled to find consistency in performance,” said the Briton.

“We will analyze the data collected this evening but we have completed the program, including the long runs, so we have a good amount of information to work on,” Hamilton added.
