“Painful reading” for Ferrari despite “vintage” Lewis Hamilton win in China
“Especially in the Italian media, it will be painf▨ul reading for Ferrari this week despite the s꧑print victory.”

F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes it will be “painful reading” for Ferrari in the Italian media this week despite168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton’s first victory ✅in red during the Chinese Grand Prix weekend.
It was a mixed F1 weekend for Ferrari at the Shanghai International Circ🔴uit.
Hamilton dominated t𒈔he sprint part of the weekend, having taken pole po𝐆sition on Friday.
The seven-time world champion won the 19-lap sprint race by over six seconds to 🉐𝓀take his first win for Ferrari.
The rest of the weekend didn’t go to plan for either Hamilton or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton struggled for pace and finished s൲ixth on track, whereas Leclerc only finished one place higher.
However, it was all in vain as both drivers were excluded fro🌟m the race results due to technical infringements.
In his post-rac🌺e F1 column for🌊 Sky, Brundle described Hamilton’s sprint race performance as “vintage”.
“The sprint was vintage Hamilton controlling the race from pole position, managing his tyreﷺ grain🅰ing out front better than others, and tucking away very early doors his first victory for Ferrari,” Brundle wrote.
“After ꧋the previous weekend in Melbourne, which he called “disastrous”, this was the perfect antidote, and remarkably the fir🌠st time either he or Ferrari had won a sprint.”
Ferrari DSQs “a miscalculation”
Hamilton, Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly were all excl𓆉uded from the fin🌸al race results in China.
Hamilton was disqualified ♍after🐷 the plank underneath his car was deemed too worn.
Leclerc a♎nd Gasly’s cars were found♕ to be underweight.
“The sting in the tail was the post-race disqualification of both Ferraris and Pierre Gasly’s Alp🌺ine. Leclerc and Gasly were thrown out due to being marginally underweight,” Brundle added.
“Rather like we saw last year in Spa with George Rus๊sell, a long run on one set of tyres uses up a few kilos of tyre tread. Also the race pace was strong and there were no Safety Cars, and so fuel usage 𓂃was high, consuming more mass.
“Leclerc’s broken front wing was allowed to be replaced but he was still underweight. Whichever way you cut it, that’s a miscalculation by the team to not leave eওnough margi🍌n for all circumstances.
“Hamilton’s car was thrown out for running too close to꧂ the ground and overly wearing away the legality skid block underneath by half a millimetre. This rule is in place to stop teams running the🎀se ground-effect aero cars too low to gain performance but then trashing super expensive floors every day.
“Especially in the Italian 🧜media, it will be painful reading for Ferrari this week despite the sprint victory.”
