Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has kept his feet on the ground despite 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s first pole position for the team.

Hamilton took an unexpected pole in sprint qualifying on Friday for Saturday’s sprint race at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

He edged Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 0.018s to register his first thrilling moment as a Ferraꦡri driver in the 2025 F1 season.

However, the always-realistic Vasseꦬur is refus𝔍ing to get too excited.

“It’s better than last week! But it’s still difficult to read💜 and to understand, from one session to the other,” Vasseur told Sky Sports.

“Sometimes Mc🐈Laren have a huge gap, sometimes it is not so.

“Let’s analyse th♌e data. I think🎀 we have a lot of work to do.

“For sure, it’s a good 𝓰feeling if you compare with last week where we struggled a lot in quali and in the race. For sure, t𝓀his is much better.

“It gives positive energy to the team, and this is good.꧅ But I always see the negative!

“We can score points this week🌟end in the sprint, and this is positive.

“Lewis [had consistency in qualifying] and 🧸this is good.”

Ferrari endured a sub-par F1 Australian 🍌Grand Prix last weekend, 🌠beginning the season with a tyre strategy call which backfired and left Hamilton 10th, and Charles Leclerc eighth.

Hamilton was also scrutinised for the tone of his radio messages with engineer Ricca𒐪rdo Adami.

They were expected to remain behind the qui꧂ck McLarens on Friday in China.

But♔, at the Shanghai Internatio🥂nal Circuit where Hamilton has won six races before, he was fourth in opening practice then first in sprint qualifying.

Hamilton has given himself the best possibl♏e opportunity to win the sprint race, which is the first session of Saturday’s running.

However, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri is third (behi𓆉nd Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen), so will be an obvious threat.

It then remains to be seen whether Hamilton can deliver another impressive l🥃ap in qualifying for the grand prix, which takes place after the sprint race on Saturday.
