The 1000th GP in its history for Ferrari ended with a loot of 5 points, a result of eighth place for Charles Leclerc and tenth for Sebastian Vettel. Despite the eight casualties of the day, the two drivers could not do more on the Mugello track, as recognized by the team director Mattia Binotto.
Too much tire wear
To the microphones of Heaven after the race, Binotto analyzed this weekend, unable to find a precise explanation between the positive performance on Saturday and the much more negative performance on Sunday: “Today we had no race pace, yesterday Charles did a great lap, I think our position yesterday can also be explained in this way, but Today after a few laps we start to lose our rhythm, we lose our rhythm and the result is a consequence. At the moment there is no explanation for the difference between Saturday and Sunday, in the race we have a great deterioration of the tires, it is part of the difficulties of our project from which it is not easy to get out. It is not a question of making some additions to the news, this would not improve the basic situation, which is deeper and for which it is necessary to get out of it at least between now and the end of the season with progress ”.
Vettel with an open heart between regrets, joys and memories
Big underlying problems
The concept that Mattia has tried to explain is that of a car that should be substantially revolutionized, for which small-medium developments are not enough ”:As I said, we will also see news in the next race, but it will not make a difference. When you have an underlying problem like we do, I think it takes more time to take that step backward, necessary to reposition yourself and then start over with some steps forward. We are working hard, hard at home between the wind tunnel and the simulations to correct the basic project for next year as well. You can also add new appendices, but they certainly won’t be the ones we have to rely on as redemption expectations. “
Verstappen: “I would have retired anyway”
Only the pilots are saved
Binotto also explained why he thinks others bring updates and others don’t: “Their situation is different from ours, they have to bring small news as we did at the beginning of the season, and as we will do again, but I repeat that our problem is more basic and for that we need more time. Starting this weekend we saved Charles’s lap in qualifying, today our pilots did their best, but they encountered the difficulties we have just mentioned, they are part of the team just like all the technicians and engineers, we should all get out of this together“.
