Scuderia Ferrari has had a quiet and uneventful day, and every true F1 fan knows how great a success it is after the first day of testing a new car.
Bahrain testing is extremely important for all participants, but if there is anyone who is more important than others, it is certainly Lewis Hamilton. It is a good sign that not only he, but also Charles Leclerc spoke very positively at the end of the first day:
"It's always great when you finish the day with a new car without any unexpected problems during your program. Of course, it's too early to talk about performance, we still have to do a lot of analysis and process the data during tonight to be smarter tomorrow," said Leclerc.
"It's exciting to test, I love this part of the year. This is the first time we can see who is where, and we can also see, feel what can await us. Well, after just one lap, I can say that driving the SF-25 has been incredible. At the moment we are just experimenting, the emphasis is on collecting data and of course on adapting to the car as best as possible. But after just one day we have learned a lot and I feel very good about it!" - rejoiced Hamilton.
