    Well, thinking about it, his crashes during free practice may have hindered his qualifying. Less time in practice means worse car setups, and worse results.

      Yeah I think so as well. On top of that it wouldn’t surprise me if he finds it hard to find the limit again because it made him a bit more cautious.

        I saw him say that he had a setup problem with the front wing. He’ll need to give his best and try to pass as much cars as possible (including Lewis) if he wants to help Ferrari take the second place from Mercedes. He’s normally better on race day than on qualifying, so let’s hope he gives us an interesting race. 😊
