Leclerc top as Gasly crashes in testing

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Charles Leclerc underlined Ferrari’s impressive start to 2019 as Pierre Gasly crashed his Red Bull on the penultimate day of testing.

Leclerc set the fastest time of the winter by more than half a second before Gasly damaged the Red Bull at the high-speed Turn Nine, his second crash this winter.

Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas said he felt Ferrari were ahead of the field.

“They are looking very strong,” the Finn said.

“We need to unlock more from the new package to be able to compete with them,” the Finn said.
