​@@edoardofaggigrigioni_2066 Charles 3rd faster in Q2 while his team mate P11. That is the DATA that we need to put in highlight. Why? Because actually SF21 (Ferrari car this year) is SF1000 (last year car).they just change Power Unit and Front nose. So, it is impossible to see them winning the race this year because the car is last year car with better package. This year Ferrari just want to know the car behave in some tracks, to knowing the car performance. But we knew this car faster in Low speed corner like Monaco, Hungary, Singapore track but struggling in straight like Monza, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Sochi GP.
