Lewis Hamilton was qualified to “get to the top 10” after the Ferrari struggle while practicing in Jedda.
Hamilton ranked 13th in the lighting of Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Friday’s second session, and was one -sixth of Face Seto Norris, and Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc.
In addition to the pillars and victory of the Chinese Grand Prix Sprint, Hamilton was clearly performed by LECLERC in the opening round of the debut season following Mercedes’ blockbuster switch.
Hamilton said: “It’s not the biggest thing, reflecting the following:” I think it is a problem on my side to work today.

Hamilton’s best hope to reach the end of the Saturday qualifier I live in SKY SPORTS F1 at 6 pmIt may be more moving closer to the setting that LECLERC is running.
The seventh world champion repeatedly talked about the disadvantages of LeclerC as a result of MONEGASQUE’s excellent understanding of cars.
Hamilton asked if he would converge with the setting of LeclerC. “Maybe we will work together tonight.
“Through the two sessions, we tried other things in the two cars to converge all kinds of wings and all kinds.
“So, I want to make a better understanding after analyzing tomorrow night and looking forward to a better day tomorrow.”
LECLERC expects ‘more performance’ in the qualifiers.

Highlight of the Practice Session on Friday at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix
“We changed a lot of cars, but it was a very positive day because I learned it a lot. Once we put everything in the right window, it will be a little more in the car.
“Mclaren seems to be very strong again, but it’s much stronger than we, but never speaks. All things are possible by combining everything.
“We have done good things by searching other options. It is clear what I want to do in my head. So we will go in that direction, and if we are planned, I hope it will pay for it.”
