Leclerc 'Extremely Disappointed' Following Another Ferrari Screw-Up During Brazil Qualifying - WTF1

At what constituent does relentlessly mocking Ferrari for messing up strategical decisions go ‘cruel’? I cognize they don’t assistance themselves, but aft Ferrari managed to marque yet different thoroughly dire determination regarding Charles Leclerc’s tyre prime successful qualifying today, I’m opening to consciousness similar it’s borderline bullying.

I’m colourblind. And what’s the archetypal happening everyone does erstwhile I archer them that? They inquire maine what the colour of thing is. That’s what this is like: we’re expecting a squad truthful incapable of making coagulated choices, to marque coagulated choices.

Nevertheless, successful an incidental which rather potently channelled the infamous “in, in, in, in, in, in” vibes from a Mercedes disasterclass astatine the German Grand Prix successful 2018, it appears Leclerc was told to container for slicks aft having already driven passed the pit entry. Going done the squad vigor makes for a cringe-inducing experience.

Leclerc’s Race Engineer: “Box now! Box now! Box container box!”

Leclerc’s sarcastic response: “Nice! Nice one! Let maine propulsion now.”

But wherefore was helium having to bash this successful the archetypal place? Well… Leclerc had near his store for Q3 connected intermediate tyres. Everyone other was connected slicks. With constricted clip to get the slicks up to temperature, and rainfall connected the mode meant that those archetypal fewer minutes of Q3 were crucial; you had to get your adust thigh connected slicks done consecutive distant due to the fact that the upwind was apt to forestall you from improving thereafter.

Needless to say, Leclerc appeared to beryllium a interaction miffed by the full acquisition erstwhile helium spoke aft the league ended and helium was grounded to 10th connected the sprint contention grid.

“We were expecting immoderate rainfall which ne'er came. I volition talk with the squad and effort to recognize what we tin bash amended successful those conditions, but highly disappointing. The gait was there. But, yeah, whatever.”
