Well yea, if Ferrari ruin 5-6 more races for Leclerc Sainz COULD end up ahead. If I was him though, Id try to actually be faster for a single race in season and then to from there, because he is...
Actually, this is not a good body language at all.
Good thing that Charles has been exemplary in his reaction to whatever team put him through this year, and he hasn't had a single moment of even hinting he is designated number 1 driver in the team...
Interesting...not a single positive post on this entire thing on Italian social networks/news outlets. Not a single one, as if Ferrari hasnt won.
He is 8-1 in qualifying this year mate. His FW damage still didnt stop him from easily being faster then Carlos. You are clutching at straws, literally enitre Italy is ****** of, but lets assume they...
No, not Marc Gene himself, but there is big group of highly influental Spaniards in team, including Inaki Rueda, Sporting and Strategy Director, as well as Leclercs race engineer Xavi.
There is...
Sainz was nowhere yesterday. Would not get a podium had Max staayed in it. Orchestracting win for slower driver while lead driver fights for WDC is unheard of.
Mate, this is not a cult. People can be unhappy with how our lead driver has been treated this season. Comments from Italy dont even mention win, people are ****** of because of how they did Leclerc...
Rueda = Spanish (chief strategist)
Xavi = Spanish (Leclercs race engineer)
Marc Gene = Spanish (Ferrari media go to face)
Santander = Spanish (Bank, main sponsor)
Because of Norris, yes, but that doesnt mean we should bring him in one lap too late when his interns will give Checo +5s on Leclercs inlap.
Wet to slicks was only viable strat and they blew it.
Well it doesnt matter what Sainz wanted or didnt, covering with him makes 0 sense because he would get behind Checo anyway. Thats entire point, if they didnt cover with Leclerc after one lap, should...
That is not correct. We messed up by trying to cover Perez with Leclerc one lap too late. That resulted in two (2) pit stops from lead in Monaco in 3 laps.
Albon took 3s of Leclercs time, but...
All they needed to do was to go from wet to slicks, which was a plan for at least one of them (one that doesnt cover Perez).
Once they saw Perez was fast enough to nullify covering by Sainz, who...
Engine looking really, really good now.
That is weird. From his interview (and allegedly team radio), he wanted to pit same lap as Sainz and Max, but tires were ready for Sainz. So when next lap came and he wanted to pit, they told him if...
You always lose time when defending against faster drivers, not like he let them by on straight. I watched live timing and he lost 3s in last 3 laps or so (10s behind Perez to 13s behind, others...
Well, considering all the guys he got behind (Vettel, Ocon, Kimi, Russell and Stroll) already pitted 10-12 laps earlier, if he wasn't going to last, will they?
Him and Alonso were latest to pit....
Not really, fumbled stop would made him get behind Russell, but staying out for 3 more laps put him behind others (when added to fumbled stop).
Mate, the point of strategy is to minimize time loss. At 33rd lap of the race, he pits for M tires and he can EASILY go to end of the race with 60% tank gone.
They kept him for additional 3-4 laps...
Finally someone mentioning that. They pitted him 3 laps late for first pitstop, which lost them 3s + 2s for slow pitstop. Instead of being ahead of Russell, he got behind him, Vettel, Ocon and Kimi....
Exactly! He was squirming out of corners and Haas cars were overtaking him, but he was 30-40s ahead of Charles, they knew it was bad, huge mistake. Alonso stayed out for first lap but 2nd time he...
Then he is at fault 100%, but like in Ham case, I expected "Pit immediately, more rain incoming" would do the trick. Lets see, 2 strat mistakes would have been way too much .
Literally don't care, team should have overruled it, he doesn't have radar in his car. Everyone looking at radar was saying more rain incoming, even Ham didn't want to pit and yet they called him in.
What they did to Charles today...I don't remember EVER making such a poor choices in one GP from Ferrari in last decade.
They had window, 2-3 laps before they pitted first to pit INFRONT of...
