Leclerc warns of tyre wear after topping second practice

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fourth in Friday’s opening practice session, behind Max Verstappen, before setting the fastest time in the second. After the sessions, he told RacingNews365 and other reporters that the slippery track had made conditions difficult.

Leclerc said Ferrari would need to anticipate how conditions change on Saturday. He thought grip might improve, but did not expect tyre life to improve much over the weekend.

Leclerc said Ferrari normally has a good car in races and hopes that remains true this weekend, although he expects managing the tyres to be difficult.
