 Leclerc: No true F1 order before Melbourne qualifying

Charles Leclerc does not expect the true pecking order of the 2019 Formula 1 season to be revealed until qualifying for the Australi☂an Grand Prix.&nbs🀅p;

Ferrari’s new recruit previously suggested its chief rival Mercedes has been 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:sandbagging thr꧙oughout testing and has refused to read t🍬oo much into the timings as a result. 

🐼Leclerc set the pace on the penultimate morning of pre-season testing as he recorded the fastest lap of the winter so far ജon a 1m16.231s, and the Monegasque said his eye-catching lap time was not “flat out”.

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

“Obviously I think as every team w🎐e are not flat out,” he explained.&n🐠bsp;

“There’s still some margin, a bit obviously in myself. I still have to lไearn, I get more comfortable with the car lap after lap and with the car itself, so it’s look⛎ing good for now.

“I think we are looking strong at the moment whether t🃏hey [Mercedes♋] are sandbagging more or less or whatsoever we don’t know,” Leclerc added. 

“It’s diff𒁏icult to say as it’s testing and we’ll only know𓃲 in qualifying [in Melbourne] but for now we are pretty happy with the job we’re doing.” 

Asked if he would bet with his own money on Ferrari being the fastest, Leclerc replied:🍎 “At the moment I’m 🐬happy, so yes!” 

Leclerc racked up 56 laps on his r🦋eturn to the cock🌠pit of Ferrari’s SF90 as the team recovered from its truncated running on Wednesday following Sebastian Vettel’s hefty crash. 

“The car hasn’t changed since day one to be honest,” Le🥂clerc added. 

“It feels comfortable - from day o🎶ne the balance is pretty nice and it hasn’t changed today, so it’s a positive day. 

“Especially 🌊after the lack of⛦ running yesterday it’s a good morning for us, and it’s good to be on top but it doesn’t mean anything.”
