HOCKENHEIM, Germany: Charles Leclerc completed a practice clean sweep for Ferrari on Saturday with a scorching lap in the final practice session ahead of qualifying for the Formula One German Grand Prix.
The Monegasque, who was also fastest on Friday, set a time of one minute, 12.380 seconds on a cloudy morning at the Hockenheim circuit.The Dutchman’s late effort relegated home hero Sebastian Vettel to third, denying Ferrari three-straight top-two practice lockouts. Valtteri Bottas was the lead Mercedes driver in fourth ahead of Lewis Hamilton who was only sixth as the German marque, who are celebrating 125 years of motorsport involvement this weekend with a one-off livery and 1950s-style team kit, seemed to struggle.
Heading into the weekend Hamilton, who leads the standings by 39 points from Bottas having won seven of ten races, had warned the dominant champions would be in trouble if a European heat-wave kept temperatures high.But the two silver cars, half a second off Leclerc’s best, appeared to be closer on Friday when track temperatures touched 50 degrees Celsius compared to Saturday when it was cooler.
