Ferrari had a very mixed performance this weekend. The Sprint Race was definitely their best performance with Lewis qualifying 1st and finishing 1st with a lights to flag finish, marking his first ever win with Ferrari. Charles struggled during the Sprint Race as the car was being difficult to drive and just lacked pace. The Grand Prix was not the best for both drivers with Lewis having no pace and Charles chewing up his tyres so he couldn’t advance up the grid while also losing a place to Max. Although Charles did do well to finish in 5th despite having front wing damage. Then matters got worse as both drivers were disqualified due to technical infringements.
