Ferrari in a Miami waiting to be discovered scored a double in Qualifying with Charles Leclerc in front of Carlos Sainz, a 1-2 that the Scuderia di Maranello did not score from Mexico in 2019 when the Monegasque preceded Sebastian Vettel. “We are very satisfied – he has declared Laurent Mekiesin charge of Ferrari track operations, to the microphones of Sky Sport F1 – It is a weekend in which we are learning everything from scratch and it is very nice to have achieved this result in front of a super fast Red Bull since the beginning of the weekend ”.
In addition to the ‘usual’ Leclerc, Q3 specialist, Laurent Mekies praised the very solid Carlos Sainz: “It was not easy for Carlos after yesterday’s mistake to put together such a high level performance, because losing a driving session on such a track is a major handicap when you have to look for the last few cents on a single lap. Charles is no longer a surprise, we know that in Q3 he is really special ”.
Now the thoughts are turned to the race, given that Red Bull has an excellent top speed as it has since the beginning of the year: “They will put pressure on us and we will have to defend ourselves, none of us did the long run and everything will be decided by the management of the tires, also because we have never had such high temperatures. We know we still have a lot of work to do together tonight to prepare for tomorrow’s race ”.
At the level of top speedHowever, the situation has improved compared to Jeddah: “We are a little closer and already in Saudi Arabia in the end it was the details that made the difference. We will prepare as best we can, in the meantime we can only be satisfied with this Qualifying, in Q3 in the second run we went out immediately to avoid further mockery with the flags as happened in Imola for Charles and in Melbourne for Carlos ”.
