Last minute of the F1 sprint classification of the Chinese GP, live
Update
Sooooooooooooooooooooday!!! In just over an hour (09:30h) begins the Sprint Shootout or sprint classification of the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix. A very different Friday from normal weekends, because with only one hour of preparation the drivers will have to face the first real session, which will determine the starting positions for the sprint race on Saturday. Therefore, in the Free 1 There has been a lot of action, but the teams have not left many clues.
There is a certain illusion in Aston Martin after the free ones. Lance Stroll has set the best timealthough conclusions cannot be drawn from the times in some training sessions, and Fernando Alonso He has done many laps with the hard ones, but he did not want to use the soft ones. The Asturian is going blind in this classification, because he has not tested the softer compounds, which shows that he has great confidence in the AMR24. For its part, in Ferrari They have done a different job than the majority and have mounted the soft ones at the beginning, so they have not shown the one-lap pace in the final part. Definitely, Carlos Sainz will be up competing with the Red Bull in this Qualy and it remains to be seen if in the race it can be close as well as in Japan.
The McLaren They surprised at the end of free practice and set times similar to those of Red Bull, although I repeat that the Austrians have surely hidden. Mercedes He has done the same as Alonso and they have only ridden hard, although he has not looked comfortable Lewis Hamilton. Get ready for this session, because it will also give many clues about what will be seen tomorrow in the Official Classification for the long race. A very close session of about 44 minutes awaits us. Let’s start!
