Cloudy. Dry. Air +18…19С, highway +26…31С
On Friday, not everyone was able to find the settings for the track in Albert Park – work continued on Saturday morning. Conditions had changed and the asphalt remained cold under the cloudy sky. Just like the day before, the stands were already filled during the free races. Melbourne loves Formula 1.
Many riders put on Hard tires for the first time over the weekend, appreciating their potential over the course. This year, Pirelli brought compounds that were a step softer; in fact, it was last year’s Medium, which showed itself well in 2023.
Alex Albon, who crashed his car on Friday morning, got behind the wheel of Logan Sargent’s car, whom Williams was forced to remove from the stage to give Alex a chance to earn points.
There were no accidents or red flags. The session went smoothly. The protocol was headed by Charles Leclerc, who completed the lap in the last attempt in 1:16.714.
