When Carlos was nowhere he should have been sacked, now he has some pace he should be team ordered
Forza Ferrari
Yup that should be the same. But Mattia not instructing them & saying they can fight each other. Which means at some point a crash is on the cards everytime they are close to each other. Do we really need this? Already DNF’s are hurting us.
I believe Carlos flat spotted his tyres during attack on Leclerc.
Carlos went with Low DF set up & Charles medium DF. Hence Carlos is faster in S1
He having some "pace" is still not enough to deter either Charles or Max. He's not as quick as those two, simple.
Leclerc's team radio: "A shame [...] we are quick, we can get them tomorrow. We just need to stay calm in the first part of the race and not fight, because I was saving in the first few laps."
Race after race, it is obvious that we are going nowhere...
Give the kid the team!
Gotta say I agree. 1+
It's not Sainz problem that Leclerc has horrid luck. Honestly, some here are just outright childish, hating on Sainz because he didn't somehow rescue Leclerc's race in Silverstone and sacrifice is first ever grand prix win for a teammate that is two full races behind the WDC lead.
Sainz has brought his game up and should be cheered for it, not hated on because Leclerc suffered what will (probably) be fatal blows to his title fight in Barcelona and Baku.

Carlos' on-track behaviour is just a symptom of the wider problem which have two names: Mattia Binotto and Iñaki Rueda. He just does what he's told, which is to race Charles and 'free to fight' apart from the restart at Silverstone when he disobeyed. The bigger issue is that he should be given just one order: 'kitchen sink when you see a Red Bull, space for Charles'.
And Leclerc's fight was over after Baku. That's reality without two miracles and no more bad luck for Leclerc. The fight now is for race wins, not the WDC, because the late spring slump for Leclerc will probably end up being fatal to his title fight.
Ferrari need to focus on winning races and staying ahead of the silver douchebags. Pie in the sky doesn't help anybody. If bad luck befalls Red Bull, so be it. But don't risk overall wins at places like Silverstone in hopes it will save Leclerc.
Why? Is there a rule of qualifying being the measuring stick? The point gap of 49-18 in Max's favor tells the story.
And apart from some fringe opinions, no one in F1 will ever rate Sainz being as good as Max. It's just laughable and you'll get laughed at. It's like saying Trulli is better than Alonso.
Both Max and Charles are generational talents. The only difference is, the former has the whole team wrapped around him while the latter has to fight his own team in some regards.
