European Grand Prix (Valencia)

[Mr.Sam]

After a 3 week hiatus we're back to regular races starting off at the European Grand Prix (Valencia) looking at the times for Friday practice it is a very mixed order with Ferrari close to McLaren in session 1 and pushing ahead in session 2.

we can expect the teams to have upped their game and advanced their cars more over the three weeks but will Ferrari be back on par with McLaren?

Valencia is a street circuit, Lewis does excel at street courses so we an expect a tight race depending on how Ferrari are doing.

Not at all sure who's got the edge here, but looking at those times I'd say Ferrari are probably slightly quicker.

Interesting track, alot of the cars are having ussiues with turn two.
