Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc are doubtful Friday’s practice💧 results will be a true reflection of the pecking orde🍨r at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.

Vettel topped opening practice ahead of Leclerc as the Ferrari pair finished over a second clear of Mercedes drivers Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, before the roles were reversed in the afternoon asꦍ the Scuderia maintained its advantage.

Following Friday’s running, Hamilton suggested Mercedes was losing “nearly a se🎃cond” to Ferrari on Spa’s straights alone, but Vetಌtel is not convinced that Mer🌟cedes has shown its hand.

“It’s Friday, I think we have seen this on a couple of Friday’s already,” Vettel said. “The most important thing is that we pick the right Ferrari shoes for Sunday.”

Asked if Mercedes can challenge for pole in qualifying, the German reꦏplied:🍒 “Of course they can.

“As I said, it’s not🍎 the first time that Ferrari looked good for us. Probably Saturday morning will look good for us and then we will see what happens on Saturday afternoon. I’m n☂ot taking anything for granted.”

Leclerc ended up over six-tenths clear of Vettel in FP2 but is expecting the gap to close significantlౠy on Saturday, while he is “pretty sure” Mercedes will fightback once it turns up its engine.

“After the ꦦholidays a 𒉰day like this is good,” he added.

“Qualifying pace was very strong, race-pace 💫a little bit less so we have🌟 to improve that for Sunday, but we look OK.

“In the sec🤡ond sector they [Mercedes] are very, very strong and tomorrow they will turn up th𝕴e engine and they won’t be that bad in the first and final sectors.”
