Nightmare numbers for Ferrari in qualifying Italian Grand Prix: the Cavallino for the first time since 1984 does not put any rider in the Top 10 on the starting grid at Monza, and the seventeenth position of Sebastian VettelNot counting breakdowns and accidents, it is the worst since 1962.
The four-time world champion comments on his own elimination in Q1: “The big problem is that there were too many cars on the track at the same time, some overtook and it was a disaster … Incorrect management? I think when we came out of the pits today we were trapped it was a bad time. Simple to say now, but I couldn’t do more on the track. The race is tomorrow, the weekend is not yet committed. We will see what we can do ”.
Charles Leclerc, thirteenth, did a little better, but feels he has nothing to blame: “The lap went quite well, I’m 13th and I can’t be happy but this is the situation for the moment. For two races in a row we have been in a difficult situation, we tried many things but we have not found the solution yet. However, we have to stay motivated and we hope Mugello does a little better. I already knew from practice 1 that sliding was important here, I planned my lap well, the gap with the car in front was good. Tomorrow in the race, the free choice of tires can help us, but we still have two cars ahead that have the same freedom of choice. Perhaps if there is a train with the DRS in the race, it will be difficult to overtake ”.
These are the words of the sporting director Mekies: “It sure is difficult, but it is no surprise. We know that the situation is very complicated, we must find a solution to get out of this period. Nobody is satisfied, we are not thinking about today’s qualifying but about how to get out. Let’s say the difficulties are seen on many different tracks, it is time to turn the page and focus on the future and make a competitive car for the future. The race of tomorrow? On Saturday night, our duty is to study all possible tires or strategies, to try to stay ahead. If we later add points or better yet, we will understand it tomorrow. Let’s turn the page. The pace of the race we do not expect particular things, but we will work on the use of tires to do something better than the others ”.
