Unsurprisingly, save for Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi, all Ferrari-powered cars lingered at the bottom of the speed trap readings on Saturday, confirming once again the significant lack of muscle of the Italian manufacturer's power unit.
However, Charles Leclerc's solid P4 performance in qualifying is a clear indication of the progress achieved by the Scuderia's SF1000 thanks to its latest upgrades.
