Leclerc faster in the second tests before his contact with the wall in Jeddah
Ferrari’s program in the second phase of the Saudi Arabian GP free trial was interrupted with 15 minutes to go due to contacts between Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainth with the walls of the circuit – but Monegasque stayed until the end of the first year.
Scuderia had to make compromises in preparation for the Saudi Arabian GP at the three-day second round of this year’s Formula One when Charles Leclerc and Carlos Saint got out of their cars 15 minutes early after hitting the four-lane retaining walls. and 13 of the Arabian Port Circle.
However, with Max Ferstappen finally turning his attention to the rounds with the middle eraser, the first year that Charles Leclerc had managed in the half hour stuck to the end.
In fact, Monegasque was the only one of the Ferrari and RBR pioneers who managed to do a fast lap with the soft rubber mid-process. Until then, the Pioneers focused on a series of semi-laps in which Ferstappen was two milliseconds faster than Leclerc and Saint and Perez a tenth behind.
Then Leclerc put the soft eraser and climbed to the top of the time ahead of RBR’s Dutchman with a time of 0.140s. Ferstappen also soon came out with the soft eraser, but failed to manage a fast lap due to Kevin Magnussen’s Haas being immobilized on the side of the track and the virtual safety car period.
For the second time on the same day, the Dane and the American team were unlucky in these tests, now due to the loss of power from the Ferrari engine. What he will do after leaving office is not yet known.
Immediately after the end of the Virtual Safety Car season, in the next fast laps of Leclerc and Saint, with the soft eraser, the two Ferraris made contact with the wall, on the same lap and with a difference of a few seconds.
When RBR’s Ferstappen and Sergio Perez turned their attention to the midfield after the end of the virtual safety car period, the front four didn’t change. And behind Ferstappen Saint and Perez followed at half past one to three tenths.
Although the times at the front weren’t that meaningful given all the events, Mercedes was closing in on Lewis Hamilton at half past four in Leclerc’s time before turning to the middle eraser lap rows at the end.
However, those hoping for a quick lap at the end with the soft eraser missed the opportunity due to immobilization on the edge of Yuki Tsunoda’s Alpha Tauri track after the team faced a new mechanical issue.

Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso added the new high-performance SUV Aston Martin DBX S to his car collection. The driver took delivery of the car, valued at more than $260,000, a few days before Christmas in Monte Carlo, where he was photographed next to the new product near the Aston Martin dealership in Monaco.
Powered by Mercedes’ 727 horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, the DBX S reaches 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The new SUV joins Alonso’s collection, which already includes the Aston Martin Valiant and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
With 2026 rule changes approaching, Alonso and Aston Martin hope the new DBX S will signal the beginning of better times. The team’s new technical partnership with Honda and Adrian Newey’s experience pave the way for Aston Martin to challenge for top spot next season.

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has admitted he has had to significantly change his daily training regime as he gets older to cope with the physical and mental demands of the World Championship. The 40-year-old Ferrari driver is preparing for his 20th season in F1 and is the second oldest driver on the grid after Fernando Alonso.
The Briton stated that his preparation is now much tighter than at the beginning of his career, with recovery playing a key role in maintaining a competitive level.
“The regime has changed, it has improved. I still love running. This morning I ran 6 to 8 miles. Then I took an ice bath. But above all, the first thing I do as soon as I get out of bed is stretch,” Hamilton said.
According to the pilot, in order not to gain excessive weight, he limits strength training and prefers pilates, yoga and interval training. At the same time, there are two elements that he does not reject under any circumstances.
“Ice baths are not an option. Before, I didn’t really think about recovery: I just trained and got on with my life. Now stretching and ice baths are things I force myself to do every day,” Hamilton emphasized.
The seven-time champion athlete attaches great importance to mental health as well as physical training. He admitted that breathing exercises, meditation and yoga helped him cope with the stress of the 24-stage season.
The Ferrari driver concluded: “An ice bath teaches you to control your breathing and fight the urge to give up. This helps me stay positive throughout the year.”
