express.co.uk

Ferrari faced a tough outcome at the Chinese Grand Prix, where both of their drivers were disqualified. Charles Leclerc was found to be underweight, while Lewis Hamilton was penalized for excessive wear on his car. This meant neither finished in their original fifth and sixth places. Sky Sports pundit Bernie Collins noticed some unusual activity at the Ferrari garage after the race. Observing from the paddock, she saw Ferrari mechanics testing their pit stop equipment with a representative from the FIA present. This raised questions about whether they had to prove their systems met regulations. Ferrari had the fastest pit stop time of the race, servicing Leclerc's car in just 2.05 seconds. Their performance in Australia was impressive too, with pit stops completed in under 2.4 seconds. Despite the disqualifications, Ferrari continues to show strength in quick pit strategies.
