So, Ferrari are working on an unexpected rear suspension change, which they hope can allow Hamilton to rediscover his pace after qualifying P8.7 on average. Ferrari saw Hamilton eliminated from qualifying in Q2 at Imola, as well, which was even the second straight race he qualified in P12. Yet Ferrari do not understand why their car is faster on used tyres,…

Max Verstappen hit out at the ‘unacceptable’ Gabriel Bortoleto after two run-ins at the Swimming Pool chicane, while Lewis Hamilton nearly hit Pierre Gasly at Massenet. Hamilton was himself a target of ire for former teammate Alonso. In an unbroadcast radio message during…

However, a strong opening day of running put Ferrari at the head of the pecking order as it seeks its most competitive showing to date.
