All the rain will do is have the organizers delay or cancel parts of the event.

 

Car has been terrible in S2 in both FP1 and every quali laps.

Your definition of schooled isn't very good:

with Leclerc 8th, this is a better definition of schooled.

Tsunoda: 1.10.692
Verstappen: 1.09.580

1.1 seconds on an extremely short track. THAT's getting schooled.

 

Leclerc 'not happy' with 'very slow' car
Leclerc said he was "not happy" with the car and admitted he had little confidence that the team would be able to significantly improve after Saturday's Sprint, when they are able to make setup changes before grand prix qualifying.

Leclerc said: "Not happy. The car was very slow today. It didn't feel that bad but we are slow, so we've got something to work on and to try to improve for tomorrow.

"My lap in SQ3, the first one was pretty good. I had a rejected upshift in the last straight, so it cost like a tenth and a half. It wouldn't have been much better, maybe P7, but a tough weekend so far.

"Nothing makes me think we are out of place in terms of setup. I'll try something. Whether it's going to be better or worse, I'm not sure."

Ferrari's disappointing Sprint Qualifying showing came after the team had opted to run both drivers on just one hard tyre for the entirety of the weekend's sole practice session earlier on Friday.

The logic behind such a move would be to keep as many strategic options as possible open for the remainder of the weekend, but there also appeared to be an assumption that their qualifying pace would be competitive.

Brundle: Ferrari in double trouble
Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle explained why he found Leclerc's comments particularly worrying, and offered a theory as to why Ferrari had struggled on Friday.

"The most difficult thing I heard there was Charles Leclerc saying that the car felt quite good," Brundle said.

"When the car feels quite good and you're slow, you're in double trouble.

"The Ferrari we know needs to run extremely low and I'm thinking that the dips here and the bumps mean that they've had to lift that. So, it might be quite benign, but it just isn't fast enough."
