Round 1000 of the Ferrari Formula 1 World Championship, beautifully set on the magnificent Ferrari track at Mugello. The Scuderia took the liberty of toasting its own history on Saturday with an exciting event in the center of Florence.
At the start of the Mugello GP, Charles Leclerc made the loyal Tifosi dream: after a rocket launch, Monegasse appeared sensationally in third place behind the two Mercedes drivers Bottas and Hamilton. There, the two-time GP winner held up well, then after the accident on the start / finish straight he had to be stopped. When he started again, Leclerc fought the best he could, but with the tires falling off he looked like a boxer with one arm tied behind his back. Charles lost row after row, whimpering on the radio: “My tires are on the end. »
After the tire change, Leclerc could no longer put that exclamation point.
Sebastian Vettel was the victim of a chain reaction in the first round: Lance Stroll had given Carlos Sainz a push, the Spaniard’s car turned sideways, Vettel was not sure if he should overtake the Madrilenian on the left or on the right when he chose the right. Determined, he twisted the front wing. In the rush to catch up, I only got one point at the end.
Leclerc eighth, Vettel tenth, clearly this is not a suitable performance for the 1000th round of the Ferrari Formula 1 World Championship, but the Italians kept their word after the miserable performances at Spa-Francorchamps and Monza: things would go a bit Best in Mugello. .
Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team boss: “We are disappointed that we were not fast enough in the race. We lost our rhythm after a few laps, and our result is the consequence of that. “
“We have no explanation why the tires have deteriorated so badly. Tire wear is one of the biggest problems on this car. We have to make great strides to improve. “
“We will have some new parts on the car for the next race in Russia, but that will not make a big difference. We need more time to reposition ourselves. We worked tirelessly in the wind tunnel and also in the simulator to get to the bottom of our difficulties. Our drivers did their best. “
