This circuit is basically sector 1 from saudi arabia but then 3 times 
(even with the track being made faster I think...)
Of course RB and Ferrari had the cars set up differently, but LEC managed to gain 0,5 / 0,6 sec in sector 1 every time, so that could be 1,5sec per lap....potentially...
Obviously RB will run more downforce here etc etc, but 1,5sec each lap is a lot to overcome...
It's going to be interesting to see for sure how RB is going to perform. Also what their tire wear will be.
I'm also eager to see what SAI can do. He managed to close the difference between him and LEC a bit. Imho he has to grow in a season, but I think he can eventually be faster than LEC. But maybe now not yet  |
Sector 2 looks like it will benefit Redbull given their strengths in Jeddah.
I do think this will be a strong Ferrari track as of right now. Not confident that Sainz can take on Max but pleasantly surprised with Checo's quali lap and his race pace in Jeddah before that screw up. Would be nice to see checo on the podium!
