Qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix saw the two Ferraris eliminated again in Q2. Sebastian Vettel ‘self-eliminated’ ending up circling at Turn 4 and damaging his car against the walls of the Sochi track, while failing to pass the Charles Leclerc it was definitely more controversial.
Indeed, the Monegasque talent found himself stuck in traffic at the excited end of the session, unable to improve his time. However, for her part, there was no lack of recriminations in the press about the management of the outlap by the wall. When listening to the radio crews between Leclerc and the box referring to those moments, it is clear that something went wrong in communication level.

– Launch lap –
Cash out
Ferrari: “We will have to try to overtake Kvyat.”
Curve 7
Ferrari: “Zero margin, push as much as possible. Zero margin, push as much as possible. “
Leclerc: “Yes, yes, understood.”
Turn 17
Ferrari: “Push mode for the last corner, keep pushing, two seconds to spare.”
Leclerc: “I have to calm down, I’m angry”
Leclerc then begins his timed lap, but being bottled up behind Kvyat’s Alpha Tauri, he soon realizes that it will be impossible for him to improve on the time he has already achieved. At this point the radio confrontation phase begins.
Leclerc: “What the hell, honestly … it was more than two seconds [di margine]. Aaargh ”.
Ferrari: “Be careful with those behind you, they are pushing.”
Leclerc: “How can they push, they were so far away!”
Ferrari: “We had six seconds, six seconds.”
At which Leclerc gestures strikingly in the car, showing all his regret for an eleventh position that inevitably complicates his Russian GP.
