168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s “very impressive” long-run pace at the F1 Australian Grand Prix has caught the a💜ttention of Red Bull, says𒊎 Helmut Marko.

The Ferrari driver was 0.381 seconds faster than Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in second practice to tease the prospect of a closer battle this weekend after the reigning world champion dominated the first two races of the𓄧 season in Bahrai♈n and Saudi Arabia.

Although Marko was impressed by Leclerc’s pace, particularly on the r⭕ace simulations, he insists Red Bull have more time to find with set-up improvements.

“We need to make improvements. The car is not bad, but Leclerc has sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚet a pace that still needs a lot of fine-tuning, I think. In general, you have to say t𝔉hat the field is getting closer together,” Marko told Sky Germany.

Red Bull’s motorsport advisor did sugge💫st the gap between Leclerc and Verstappen in FP2 was down to Ferrari using high engine modes.

“I think Ferrari drove at full power in the qualifying simulati💜on,” he said. “Not us. That's why I don't see the three-tenths [gap] as critical.

“But the long run 🃏was vꦕery impressive. Our set-up is not yet right.”

Verstappen lamented a♋ “messy” Friday after being sidelined for nearly half of second practice while Red ♚Bull fixed damage to his floor which was incurred when he ran wide in FP1.

The Dutchman sa♉ys he sees nothing from Ferrari that worries him.

“I think it was alright,” Verstappen said. “I thiꦯnk Ferrari i🍸s quick but, from our side, I think there are also a few more things that we can fine-tune.

“So, nothi🐻ng crazy, nothᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing worrying. I think, yeah, we just need to fine-tune a little bit the car.”

Leclerc, meanw꧂hile, believe💟s Melbourne will provide Ferrari with their “best shot” of challenging Red Bull so far this season.
