Ferrari’s concerns are only exacerbated by the fact that Charles Leclerc also did not finish, precisely because of his big accident, the race had to be interrupted by a red flag at the midpoint, and he was already in fourth place when he left. Monaco, so it could have had a good score.

However, this was not the case, and after the race Sebastian Vettel did not hide his frustration at what happened.
“I think the best thing for us this weekend was that there were no spectators and they couldn’t see this performance. Of course, this is a point of view issue, but I think there are positives to all difficult situations, even if there is not much in our situation now. This brake failure is one of the worst things that can happen to you, but now we were at least so lucky that my brakes came out in the right place. If it had happened at another point on the track, it would not just be the styrofoam boards that would break and the case would not have such a pleasant ending. I’ve never had a brake failure before, ”Vettel said.
After the race, Sebastian Vettel’s teammate Charles Leclerc also spoke, who after his gruesome accident was also examined at the track hospital and later discharged while escaping the accident without consequences.
“I just lost control of the car, got out and crashed into the wall. It was my fault and to be honest I suffered a lot with the first set of tires, it was difficult to race. In the safety car, I thought we were unlucky, but we went off track closing the pit lane, but after that the race wasn’t better on the hard mix, either. I tried hard to push but lost control in Parabolica. Anyway, I feel good, it hurts a little here and there, but it will pass, ”said Monaco.
So the Italian team focused on their home race, the last time there was an example of this in 1995, but what a difference it was that Jean Alesi was forced to drop out of the Monza race in first place and Gerhard Berger in second. . Difference, but of course the end result is the same: zero points.
After the race, of course, came the negative lead, Lewis Hamilton, who was hit with a 10-second stop & go penalty for going out into a blocked pit lane to change wheels. The British do not blame the sports supervisors and take responsibility for not noticing the light panels that close the pit lane.
“I did not see the dashboard because I focused on the time at the level of the security car on the screen of my government, I am taking responsibility, we are investigating the case and learning from it. After finishing the penalty, he was 26 seconds behind, by which time I would not have thought he would get to seventh place and get even a point for the fastest lap. When I caught up with the others, I fought fun battles and still got quite a few points, so I’m happy, ”said Hamilton.
