For a few minutes Sebastian Vettel it was up there in the first place, a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time. Too much for someone like him. Of course, it is still free practice, but Friday is still the prelude to what could happen in the future. Obviously, you have to take into account the gas loads and the work of each of the pilots on the track, but surely the German will have once again enjoyed living on the upper floors. And if Lando Norris hadn’t extracted the third time from the cylinder in the final moments of PL2’s Portimão, the Ferrari by Vettel would have made the top 5.
On the Portuguese circuit, the German made his absolute debut, as did most of the drivers. It is understandable that n. 5 be improved in a second since morning, where he stopped in the eleventh time with 37 laps. In the afternoon, his best moment was 1: 19.117 (+1,235 for Valtteri Bottas), time that was worth the sixth position. These are the words of the four-time world champion immediately after free practice for the Portuguese Grand Prix: “Portimão is a nice circuit, I like it a lot. And tomorrow I will feel even better: I will know where to turn (ride, ndr). Sure, it was very slippery due to the new asphalt, but the track is beautiful. I was very impressed with racing there for the first time. This shows that there are so many wonderful tracks all over the world. The important thing is to know how to choose them to have a nice calendar“.

The German then added something about how the team will work for this Friday in the Algarve. One of the curiosities concerned the new background of the SF1000. Another aspect that Vettel promoted with great success: “Charles tried it in the morning, I tried it in the afternoon. I must say that I was very comfortable“.
