So how do Ferrari get pole and win in Singapore, which is a whole lap like sector 3 in Abu Dhabi :roll:

And in S3 here, they are losing 6 tenths!

Haha, just like Monza. If the front Ferrari got a move on and passed some cars, It wouldnt have happened.

It's not because of the corner types. Here they just overheat the tyres in the first 2 sectors and then don't have grip for S3 anymore.

So the directives made Ferrari lose time in the corners? Makes sense. :roll:

On the long straight they were 5 km/h faster than Redbull and 7 km/h faster than Mercedes today.

and why exactly are they overheating the tyres?? lack of downforce?

So if they are running more downforce then why arent they not good in S3? and if they are running more downforce then why were they only just 0.073 sec faster in the Sector 2?

Yes it makes sense, as they have lost power they are not able to pile on downforce and compensate for it! makes sense now? They were just 0.073 faster in the sector 2 which had the longest straights.

Leclerc just said he will 'take some risks' at the start as he has to get ahead of Verstappen, who like Vettel won't be shy either.

Could get a bit spicy....

I thought tyres cool off on the big straights ?????? S2 is perfect to cool the tyres off surely
