F1 RUSSIAN GP FRIDAY LECLERC : RESULTS ARE ABOVE EXPECTATIONS SO FAR

In the second training session of the Russian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel showed the eighth and tenth times, noting the good speed of the car in Sochi, and the head of the Scuderia Mattia Binotto commented on the appointment of Stefano Domenicali to the post of president and CEO of Formula 1.

Charles Leclerc (8th): “Today we had some problems, but the results were higher than expected. We need to focus on finding the optimal balance – I believe that we can add both speed and handling.

It is difficult to find the right settings for qualifying and racing on this track. We have a lot to do before tomorrow. “

Sebastian Vettel (10th): “Not a bad Friday – it seems the car looks a little better than in the previous stages, but there is still a lot to add to go faster. Nevertheless, if we do not take into account the results of the two leaders, we have a good speed.

Tomorrow is a tense qualification, and it is not easy to put together a fast lap on this track. It is important to drive through the attempts cleanly and not make mistakes so that everything goes smoothly. “

Mattia Binotto, Team Leader: “Today is an important day for our sport – it became known that Stefano Domenicali will take over as head of Formula 1. First of all, on behalf of Ferrari, I would like to thank Chase Carey for his work. Under his leadership, numerous positive changes have been made in Formula 1, especially in the relationship between the promoter and the teams.

The main thing is that decisions were made that are important for the future of Formula 1 – the signing of the Agreement of Consent and the creation of a structure that allows attracting new fans and a young audience.

We are very pleased that Stefano Domenicali has been entrusted with Chase’s position. Leadership talent, sports knowledge, experience and personality make him the ideal choice to continue the reforms chase initiated.

Personally, it will be a pleasure for me to work with a good friend with whom we built a career at Ferrari. I look forward to working with him and other stakeholders to make Formula 1 even stronger and more entertaining. “
