There Ferrari he conquered the entire front row in Monaco with Charles Leclerc’s pole and Carlos Sainz’s second performance. The Spanish driver, like a year ago, was unable to complete the second run in Q3 but not the fault of the Monegasque, this time it was Sergio Perez at the Portier who hit the wall, involving Sainz who found Checo’s car in front and a yellow flag exhibited with very little notice.
Laurent Mekies commented on a perfect Saturday for Ferrari in the Principality to the microphones of Sky Sport F1: “We are happy for the team. It is a particular track, you find answers that you cannot verify first on other circuits. Happy for everyone in Maranello and for having made a car that shows what the level of performance is on such a specific track. Monte Carlo is always complicated, you have the traffic to manage, the tires. There is a lot of pressure. The drivers were very good, with Red Bull the gap was minimal, once we went ahead, once they did. Both Charles and Carlos have taken a big step forward. Charles in Q3 was doing something even more extraordinary ”.
Mekies does not fear one penalty for Sainz since the yellow flag really came at the last useful moment: “If Sainz risks a penalty? In reality we were worried about Carlos because he found himself on the track blocked in full acceleration. With a single yellow flag no one would have expected to find a car in the middle of the track. We have been worried about that and very happy that Carlos has nothing. We will see the damage on the car. We will do everything that can be done “.
It is scheduled for tomorrow rainone more potential variable for Ferrari to manage: “We expect to see rain tomorrow. We will see. Here the weather changes from moment to moment. We are ready to face both scenarios. A wet Monaco means that half of the grid can win tomorrow. But she is part of the game. We will try to defend the brace up to the checkered flag “ concluded Mekies.
