Bearman is the best young Ferrari driver at the moment.
Hmmmm,

he's up there Mikey but I believe that Dorianne Pin remains under contract with Ferrari,

Martins, meanwhile, hit the wall all on his own and retired! Leclerc, on the alternate strategy, blew his chance with a slow pit stop with 5...

Impressive drive from Martins to come from 10th to 2nd setting fastest lap en route.

The big lesson given by Martins, points are awarded on the last lap and 2nd is better than the wall!
