To Silverstone pole of Verstappen and six pilots in a tenth but the Ferrari who dreamed of the pole position must be satisfied with the third row with Hamilton in front of Leclerc and the main team attacks the drivers who made mistakes
Two minutes from the end of the tests of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Silverstone The Ferraris were in the front row, demonstrating how the car is now competitive, even higher than the Mc Laren of Piastri and Norris who are dominating the World Cup. But in the last lap he changes everything: the Mc Laren improve by confirming their reliability, Max Verstappen is going around the life And place its Red Bull in front of everyone and the two Ferraristi embark on two decisive errors that make them retreat in the starting grid. Obviously the faces are disappointed, because the weekend in England started well on Friday had continued positively in the free Saturday morning and also to Q2 of the official tests.
Optimism and variables
Of course, if we want to see the glass half full, never like in Silverstone, the reds have demonstrated competitiveness at the highest levels, but the last seconds of the tests with the Mercedes who manages to insert Russel in the second row (fourth time) takes away the smile from the men of the Cavallino who must be satisfied with the third row. It cannot be too happy either Lewis Hamilton who for the first time since he drives Ferrari made a better time than his teammate Charles Leclerc. The Englishman in the circuit where he won nine times hoped in other placement in the grid. But the detachments are minimal and nobody like Lewis meets Silverstone. And then there is the weather variable, for the hours of the race there is rain and this could further mix the cards without forgetting that Hamilton under water has always found himself at ease. In short, not everything is lost, as long as you do not make other mistakes, because this time the performance of the machine are at the top, it’s up to the pilots to demonstrate how much they are worth.
Vasseur polemical
It is no coincidence that Ferrari’s Team Principal was very controversial with the pilots for the errors made and Leclerc brought heavily recognizing his responsibilities, however: “Lewis was in the lead of a tenth on ranks until the last corner and therefore everything was possible. Some race ago was more a structural problem, while today it was a matter of errors, because the car went and the potential was. Decisive ride.
