Carlos Sainz shows the Ferrari can also be quick around a 'normal' circuit being 3rd, while his teammate Charles Leclerc is only 11th.
Lewis Hamilton who was complaining yesterday about there is something wrong with car, was only 5th. The British driver now seems to drive around with the chassis that Bottas used earlier this year.
