The Ferrari drivers had a lot of fun preparing for the Spanish Grand Prix. Carlos Sainz drove the simulator, but Charles Leclerc advised his partner to drive a lap around the Catalan ring in the opposite direction, that is: counterclockwise. That’s what came out of it…
Charles Leclerc: So Carlos, we are in Barcelona. But only you drive the circle in the opposite direction…
Carlos Sainz: Real? OK. Where do you want me to go?
Charles Leclerc: Straight away!
Carlos Sainz: Wait a minute, let me avoid an accident…
Charles Leclerc: This is one of the best turns of your life! I hope you didn’t crash the car.
Carlos Sainz: I hope not. Can you imagine how I will get through this corner, which we are approaching at 200 miles per hour!
Charles Leclerc: This is cool! Although I would be scared if I were sitting on that stage. Let’s go full throttle, why are you going slower? Such a cool twist! Just look! I wanted to try it too…
Carlos Sainz: This section is really good.
Charles Leclerc: These curves are so cool! Just shoot!
Carlos Sainz: It looks like he’s blind…
Charles Leclerc: And the next one too! Great track! But here it goes up and it is quite possible to overtake.
Carlos Sainz: It seems to me that the speeds in this segment will be too high…
Charles Leclerc: But everything looks very strange, I didn’t even expect it… Stop slowing down already!
Carlos Sainz: Overall it will be great!
Charles Leclerc: What a circle!
Carlos Sainz: I think there are a few points that will make you think.
Charles Leclerc: And so it was a perfect lap around the Barcelona circuit in the opposite direction! I’m going to try it out on Friday during my first training!
