The Formula 1 racing weekend at Spa was once again marked by the Ferrari debacle surrounding Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel. Sky Sport presents the press reviews of the Belgian Grand Prix.
ENGLAND
Guardian: Groundhog Day at the Spa. Hamilton wins his own race, Bottas and Verstappen behind. Another masterpiece of the executor, the 19 curves, the great ups and downs, the high speed passages of Spa, it was all boring. Oh yeah, Ferrari: the Reds’ crash ended at a new low. At Monza, the absence of the Tifosi will be a blessing for the team. “
Telegraph: Lewis Hamilton admits that, as a fan, his own dominance would put him in a deep sleep. The dominance in which he has Formula 1 recalls the dominance of Michael Schumacher, whom Lewis will soon dethrone in all statistics. Ferrari’s suffering continues, thank God there are no fans at Monza. “
Sun: “He will soon be 36 years old and says he feels better than ever. Lewis Hamilton is unstoppable, no one can stop him. The machine man in the Mercedes machine, that’s the very latest in Formula 1. Ferrari, what can I say. Positions 13 and 14 are not relevant at all. “
Hamilton continues on record course – historic Ferrari low
FRANCE
The team: Leader from start to finish: Lewis Hamilton didn’t even flinch when he won his 89th Grand Prix. It was only shortly after the start that he didn’t really get going on the Kemmel straight, it was the only little challenge he dominated brilliantly. Ferrari must have felt like he was in a prison kitchen. “
ITALY
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Ferrari is too slow, the nightmare never ends. The road to Monza is like a Stations of the Cross. There are many reasons for this situation: Ferrari has lost the creativity that allowed the team to fight for the title in 2017 and 2018. Maranello needs new ideas and new engineers.
Corriere dello Sport: “No, that is enough. Give us back Ferrari! That was the worst performance of the last decade, zero hour. Nothing works. The car is slow and takes a step back every race. “
All the sports: “Ferrari disaster! Maranello has never been so inefficient, the Spa team has never done so badly. It is no longer a crisis: the whole system must be rethought. Ferrari suffers a lot after the death of its president Sergio Marchionne, who led the team with an iron fist “.
Corriere della Sera: “Ferrari is experiencing the saddest race in its recent history. A long test. The performance at Spa alone should be enough to end the era of team boss Mattia Binotto. But a change in the middle of the championship could make things worse. But Ferrari drives down a dangerous slope. The confidence of the Tifosi has come to an end. “
The Republic: “Ferrari sinks, lack of power and efficiency. Too bad to be true: Ferrari is even surpassed by Alfa Romeo. Now Ferrari is working mainly towards 2022, when the new rules come into effect. “
The impression: “Red shame! Ferrari had never done so badly in the last eleven years. Not even the minimum requirements for the Monza Grand Prix are met. Ferrari’s performance has dropped to an all-time low. Monza is designed for powerful engines with efficient aerodynamics, characteristics that the SF 1000 does not have ”.
AUSTRIA
Kronenzeitung: “In the world championship, Hamilton is now 47 points ahead of Verstappen and 50 points ahead of Bottas. Toto Wolff doesn’t want to use the word world title in his mouth: ‘The squirrel only eats with difficulty. There are still ten races left, so there’s no reason to count the sheep now. ‘
SWITZERLAND
Look: “It is much less spectacular at the front. Controversy Lewis Hamilton is in control at all times. Raikkonen beats Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari. What a humiliation for the Reds! And in the direct duel of the former world champions, it makes Vettel look very old in his overtaking maneuver. “
SPAIN
Brand: “Hamilton is just two wins behind Schumacher. Ferrari disappoints and does not get a single point. In short, it was a boring race without much stress. Hamilton can hardly be stopped on the way to the seventh world title. “
How: “Hamilton needs a rival. Bottas as second did not even come close to the world champion. No one will beat this Lewis Hamilton if you don’t take advantage of the few opportunities he offers. Vettel and Leclerc do not score points.
Sport: “Hamilton goes for a walk. He takes the fifth victory in the seventh race without much shine. Ferrari underlines its disaster: not a single point, while Bottas is second and Verstappen third. Hamilton’s superiority is unlimited. “
The sports world: “Black Panther Hamilton wins the Belgian Grand Prix. It is his 89th victory, only two victories separate him from Schumacher’s record. Vettel and Leclerc are completely sunk, Ferrari is light years away. “
