From Russia with spite – Formula 1



[ad_1]

[Rassegna stampa] – The news on Saturday from the Formula 1 paddock is not Hamilton’s pole won with a little more difficulty than usual, but Charles Leclerc’s anger at his result in qualifying and communication with the pits. Frustration is at the highest levels and with the ‘open’ radio teams we discovered a Monegasque yes faster than Sebastian Vettel but also more inclined to see the glass half empty.

It no longer rains in the wet: hail here. Carletto was furious at the low wall for not having the correct information during Q2. “We have to improve on many things,” said the prince of Monaco, increasingly irritated. Vettel had fared even worse: he lost control of the miserable SF1000 and crashed into the barriers, narrowly being avoided by his teammate, who was approaching at full speed. Today, I presume that the two Ferraris will remedy the umpteenth bad figure, consuming another stage of an endless odyssey in agony.“.

Leclerc ends up in a queue at Kvyat, fails to improve his 11th time and is furious: “On the radio they told me I had only 2 ″ of margin over Ocon behind me, there was actually more. I’m angry, I have to calm down. So is it the wall’s fault? Sports director Mekies’ response seems to return criticism to the sender: “In the future we will try to help you better assess the available margin.” As if to say: he makes the decisions in the end. Five rows ahead, Hamilton enjoys pole number 96, “the most useless in the championship, because here whoever is behind manages to pass the first corner,” the Mercedes driver pretends worried. Just to give an order of magnitude of his superiority, Verstappen with Red Bull is half a second behind, his teammate Bottas is 6 tenths“.
Stefano mancini, The impression

Shipwrecks and nervousness, the Black Sea swallows the Ferrari. Again the two Reds beyond the top ten, as in Spa and Monza. With an important difference: if the performance did not exist there, in Sochi with some aerodynamic innovations progress had been made. Small, but seemingly enough to aim for the last places in the top 10. And instead another opportunity was squandered in an already poor year, sixth place among manufacturers says it all. The culprits? Vettel, first. He pushed, tripped over a curb, and ended up on the wall. Between suspensions and broken arms, he began collecting wing fragments. What a sad scene, sadly it has already been seen. For a different mess, Leclerc fits eleventh. Furious, he hit the wall. It is not the first time that he has lost his temper this year and you have to understand it. He also paid for his inexperience in the frantic two minutes left after Sebastian’s explosion, but he is the least responsible. From the garage they gave him wrong directions on the countdown“.
