Friday, 19 July 2024
- Free Practice 1: P1, 1:18.713, 27 laps
- Free Practice 2: P3, 1:18.185, 23 laps

  • Productive Friday for Carlos at the Hungaroring, where he led the first practice session of the day and set the third fastest time overall in the second one.
  • The Ferrari race driver got to test the new bits of the SF-24 and worked across the three Pirelli tyre compounds under extreme heat conditions. On Free Practice 1, the track temperature surpassed the 50-degree mark.
  • After completing the entire run plan, the Spanish finished the day feeling good, but he remains cautious ahead of this Saturday’s Qualifying.

QUOTES:
"Overall, we had a positive Friday, which is always important here because this is a very tricky track to set up the car. Additionally, due to the high temperatures, it was important to see how all three compounds reacted to the extreme heat of the track. We gathered some useful information, and it looks like we are in better shape this weekend. However, it’s only Friday, so let’s see tomorrow".
