Lucas Corsino said that Franco's bad streak was especially difficult for a driver and that the team had to work with the engineers to resolve the issues. He explained that the Reliability Engineering area was responsible for preventing failures, evaluating designs, studying deterioration, and analyzing its causes. He also noted that Franco had shown good pace that day, defending himself from Hadjar, whom he identified as a Red Bull driver, and being faster than Sainz. Corsino added that the races in Texas, Mexico, and Brazil were approaching, circuits where, he said, Franco performed well. #Fórmula1 #Pilotos #Deportes (translated)

Nachez stated that Fernando Alonso was six tenths faster on his last lap, but lost a lot of time coming out of corner 14 due to an engine problem and lost ground in acceleration to Carlos Sainz. He claimed that Alonso would have comfortably advanced to Q2 with a lap 1.2 seconds faster than that of his teammate and regretted that Honda prevented him from completing a great lap. #F1 #FernandoAlonso #Honda (translated)

Tino wrote that Carlos Sainz had pointed out another software problem: according to Sainz, half of the cars completed a lap with a more powerful engine and were half a second faster than the others. He also said that the FIA, as in Malaysia, had not guaranteed sporting fairness and had allowed the qualifying session to take place under those conditions. #F1 #Deportes #CarlosSainz (translated)

Victor Abad pointed out that he had finished SQ1 and said that, in his opinion, the Live Timing had failed, so the last record of Gabriel Bortoleto, Charles Leclerc, and other drivers did not appear.

Maranello Paddock wrote that Lewis Hamilton had formed a team of engineers at Ferrari that included people outside the historical circle of the Scuderia. According to the post, sources close to the driver described a method different from the usual routine, which relied on his feedback to better identify the car's problems and the priorities to address. The seven-time world champion was also said to have been recruited to help evolve working methods, thanks to his experience in winning teams and his influence. His approach reportedly elicited mixed reactions within the team. The post estimated that the group formed around Hamilton constituted the strongest core of this approach, but the next step was to broaden the consensus. It claimed that Hamilton had leeway to analyze the functioning of the team that Fernando Alonso had not benefited from and that Sebastian Vettel had even less. Carlos Sainz had reportedly established a methodical dialogue with the engineers. According to the post, Hamilton could bring a different experience and contribute to change, a mission that would have been implicit from his arrival. Maranello Paddock also wrote that Charles Leclerc, who had spent his entire career at Ferrari, did not have the same external benchmarks and often had to compensate on track for unresolved issues. However, the post indicated that Leclerc had moved closer to his teammate's perspective, which he found interesting. It was estimated that this convergence could strengthen the drivers' demands if their different approaches led them to face the same difficulties. According to the post, Hamilton's recent statements reflected this evolution: he still wanted changes but had to convince the management to accept new technical practices, using arguments, evidence, and a broader consensus. Maranello Paddock added that he needed to prioritize internal dialogue and avoid putting pressure on Frédéric Vasseur. Discussions about the future of the director could have complicated the process, while support for Vasseur could, according to the post, help continue the changes already underway. Finally, Maranello Paddock called Hamilton's podium finish in Sepang an encouraging sign and estimated that his influence would depend on the ability to extend the method developed with his engineers to the entire team. The post referred to an article by Giuly Duchessa for more information. https://t.co/lzVgcJhYJp) #Ferrari #Hamilton #F1 (translated)
