If in the first day of testing in Barcelona it was Lando Norris in McLaren who put all the rows, in the second it was the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc that obtained the final leadership of the session. The two cars – fighting each other for third place among the manufacturers last year – appeared to be the best in the lot, although the information obtained was clearly initial and summary. It was then to confirm these feelings George RussellMercedes driver, who indicated “The red and orange cars” as the fastest seen on the Montmelò track in these first tests of the 2022 season. Mattia Binotto then wanted to dampen the enthusiasm, indicating Ferrari not as the favorite, but as a possible outsider, ready to seize every opportunity to return to the victory, which is missing for over two years.
Even Daniel Ricciardo, although aware of McLaren’s discreet start, wanted to maintain a line of absolute prudence in his comment on what he saw on the circuit: “At the moment it is difficult to identify who is ahead of the others. First of all, it is important to complete as many laps as possible and in the first two days we reached one hundred. It seems we are well positioned on the timesheet, but I think Mercedes and Red Bull haven’t shown their cards yet and therefore I try not to look too much at the ranking “but a look at the Red, the Australian gave it: “I think that the Ferrari looked very solid, very consistent. But I repeat, I’m trying not to give too much weight to these things “concluded Ricciardo.
