Vasseur: “It’s a shame Hamilton was second, but he didn’t put everything together in the second attempt, if it rains it will be an open race”

Rain dance at Ferrari? Third row for Ferrari in Qualifying for the Canadian GP. Lewis Hamilton achieved the fifth fastest time behind the Mercedes and McLarens, Charles Leclerc was relegated from sixth to eighth place in the Sprint Qualifying, also behind the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar. The seven-time world champion was placed under investigation for a potential impediment against Pierre Gasly during Q1, but no sanctions were received against Lewis Hamilton. “It was a very close session, especially in the final phase, with Lewis who was second after the first attempts in Q3 – the words of Frederic Vasseur – unfortunately he wasn’t able to put everything together in the last attempt. It’s a shame because the pace was there and we could have aimed for a better result. Now the focus shifts to tomorrow, when we could find ourselves facing a very different challenge. Until now we have never raced with these cars and the new tires in wet conditions, which means that the team and drivers will have to learn very quickly, already in the laps to go to the grid it could make the race very open.” Click here to add Formula Passion as your favorite source on Google Discover: you will find our content more easily!
