“We have higher downforce and that may be good for tire management, but they are very quick on the straights and it is very difficult to follow here,” said Leclerc. “Two different approaches. “We are faster on the straights so it will be interesting tomorrow to see which is the fastest philosophy, but here it is all about the tires and looking after them.” Let’s see which compromise works the best tomorrow.” Verstappen said he understood why Ferrari had opted to use Sainz as a slip-streaming aid for Leclerc. “We didn’t have a penalty so that’s why we didn’t do it,” he said. “He did the perfect job and his tow helped me a lot — I gained two-tenths there on that straight so in the final sector I had a great mindset. There is a good atmosphere in our team and we are all willing to help each other.” Leclerc, bidding to deliver Ferrari’s third successive win and cut Verstappen’s 38-point lead in the title race, heaped praise on his team-mate. This win is for all of Ethiopia. “I was trying to control the race from first place during the run so it was very hard for me. “I learned a lot, I’ll go away and analyze it.” Leclerc gained two-tenths of a second and used the advantage to outpace world champion and series leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull by three-tenths to take his seventh pole position this year and 16th of his career. With two laps to go of the 12-and-a-half lap race at Hayward Field, the pack had been cut to eight. “I know that Sifan is a great athlete and she is also a 1500m runner so she has the speed. It is what it is.” Hassan added: “I really overworked last year so I wanted to get a break for my mental part because athletics is not only about running but also about motivation. Hassan produced a stunning 1,500m-10,000m double at the 2019 world championships in Doha before winning 5,000m and 10,000m gold and 1,500m bronze at last year’s Olympics in Tokyo. “I started to train like two months ago and today, I did my best and I gave everything,” said Hassan. “I did the race smart, did not make any mistake.
