Carlos Sainz He made a spectacular start and led the race for the first 10 laps. The
graining is the pending subject to be solved in
Ferrari. He was in the pits prematurely, but the tough guys had a good pace, so he was able to come back. The arrival of the rain hurt him a bit but
managed to get on the podium, specifically in the third drawer.
For its part,
Fernando Alonso it also came out very well and remained in the top 10. Towards the end of the race he sounded very strong as a candidate for the podium. The strategy worked for them
Alpine and he held the pace very well throughout the race. It is an old dog that knows how to function under pressure and well cover the gaps of the threats that came from behind, making the most of the Alpine. The rain, of course, shook the classification but
finished sixthwhile your partner,
Esteban Ocon, took position 14.

In this third session, the teams will be able to test the changes made to the adjustments of their single-seaters after the conclusions taken after collecting data during the day yesterday regarding the pace and degradation of tires on an asphalt that surprised everyone. In 2020 it was an ice sheet and everyone suffered to stay on track. In 2021, asphalt is
possibly the one with the “most grip of the year”, what did you say
Carlos Sainz.
“It was like trying a new track for the first time”, Alonso said for his part.
This huge and unexpected grip made yesterday everyone had to change their plans regarding the set up and adjustments of their car from the beginning. He caught more than one off foot, especially one
Verstappen that he could not find the key of the settings of his car, being more uncomfortable with the changes he made for FP2. He was second in FP1 and fifth in FP2 with whiplash problems in the middle of the curve and vibrations in the front tires.
