Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok has praised Ferrari for their “calmness” on ✃the pit wall when making strategy decisions despite their defeat to McLaren in China.

Ferrari came away from Shanghai with fourth and fifth, finishing behind the two Red Bulls and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, who drove a spectacular race to split 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.

Heading into the weekend, Ferrari were tipped to hold the advanꦆtage over McLaren given the Woking outfit’s weakness in low-speed, traction zones꧂.

However, it didn’t play out that way as Norris finished well clear of the best Ferrari oღn Sunday.

Still, Ferrari maintained their impressive start to the year with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz finishing all five races inside the top five.

Reflecting on Ferrari’s weekend in China, Chandhok was impressed with how the team fared on the pit wall while explaining that their performance in China is unlikely 🍸going to be a common trend.

“There is a calmness,” he said. “There seems to be less chaos with 🙈strategy.

“We have to be careful with this track, it is an outlier in terms of t✤he layout and how the tyres are used, and the energy on t▨he front axle rather than the rear.

“It✱ is a weird track, trying to read the form guide. So I think they’ll take fourth and fifth.”

Since the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel days, str𓃲ategy has been something Ferrari have struggled wit🎐h.

Particularly, t🗹heir confusing communication between race engineer and driver.

But♏ under Frederic Vasseur’s leadership, things seem to have impro🌌ved, highlighted by their consistent run of results.

1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill believes the battle b🌠etween Ferrari and McLaren will continue to be “tight” for the rest of th💝e season.

“A lot was made of Charles’ run in Suzuka,” he added. “But he was in a gap in clean air. You ca🧔n eke out a good result if you qualify well and do one stop when everyone else does two.

“If you’re in a race, you need ✅a car with an advantage. In [today’s] race they weren’t as good as the McLaren in the hands of Lando. So they are about the same, it will be tight between these two.”
