Pole-sitter Verstappen is unconcerned by Leclerc's strategy to save a new set of soft tyres for the BahrainGP. 'I have one set with only an out-lap [completed], so it should be OK.'
driver Leclerc looked to have the potential to beat Perez and possibly even threaten eventual pole winner Verstappen for the top spot, but surprisingly climbed out of his F1-75 ahead of the second and final runs.
When asked by Motorsport.com to clarify just how much benefit Ferrari felt its Q3 tactics would provide, Leclerc said it would be"a bit more grip. That's [it]".Sitting alongside Leclerc in the same post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen responded to the topic by explaining,"I have one set with only an out-lap [completed], so it should be OK", with Perez nodding his agreement to the Dutchman's right.
But Verstappen and Perez did later emerge for a second time in Q1, coming out right at the end of the segment and completing an out-in cycle, which means the lightly cured rubber should still last for a long time at the start of the race.
