- Free Practice 2: P3, 1:30.320, 12 laps
- Carlos Sainz set the third fastest time in the second practice session of the Saudi Arabian GP, where Ferrari was again the reference.
- The Spaniard worked on the Hard and Soft tyre in the first practice, and in the night shift he ran on the Soft and the Medium in the same conditions he will encounter later in the race.
- Carlos didn’t do the long run at the end of Free Practice 2 after brushing the wall in the closing stages of the session; the team chose to check that the car was in perfect conditions.
QUOTES:
"As expected these cars are behaving different here in Jeddah compared to Bahrain and we keep understanding how to set up the car for different conditions and corners. Porpoising was a bit of an issue at the straights at a certain point but I’m not concerned. As last year, understanding which is the best tyre for the race is important for the strategy. Unfortunately we didn’t do the long run at the end of FP2 after I brushed the wall and we stayed in the garage. We’ll see what tomorrow brings".
