• This Friday Carlos covered the distance of Sunday’s Saudi Arabian GP. He was the first car on track at the new Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
• The Spanish Ferrari race driver didn’t use a single set of Medium tyres and focused extensively on the Soft compound. In Free Practice 2 he also used the Hard tyres.
• The Spaniard noticed that the blind corners of the track, many of which are flat out, can be dangerous if someone is cooling down and another car comes on a push lap.

QUOTES:
“Very exciting day in general, just getting to know the track and getting used to such a different kind of circuit. Going at these speeds between walls is really intense and gives you a big rush of adrenaline. The car felt quite good today so now it’s all about fine tuning, understanding the tyres, the setup of the car and what is the right strategy for the rest of the weekend. Blind corners are obviously an issue whenever someone is cooling down and you are on a push lap because of the huge speed difference so we all need to be super focused even when we are not pushing. The track leaves very little margin for mistakes and Charles was unfortunate today. I’m sure the team can fix his car for tomorrow and we can both push hard come Qualy"
