Ferrari trio of Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz and Frederic Vasseur lament the last stint on the hard substance for their F1 Chinese general practitioner drawback.
Having had a subtle certifying in F1 Chinese GENERAL PRACTITIONER, the idea at Ferrari was of resist in the raceon Sunday It did not begin well when both Leclerc and Sainz shed locations to Mercedes’ George Russell and additionally Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg.
While they were able to clear Hulkenberg very early on, it was a little bit extra handful to overcomeRussell And by after that, McLaren’s Lando Norris together with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez brought up an adequate void where method ended up being a bottom line for Ferrari return.
And it apparently showed up when the VSC was released forValtteri Bottas But with the expansion of VSC and succeeding SC, it neutralised the grand prix for all. Even after that, Ferrari had some hope of a straight difficulty, however it really did not exercise versus Norris or Perez.
The hard substance really did not function as much or as wanted for both Leclerc andSainz They could not make any kind of in- roadways in itself to be 4th and 5th ultimately. Post- race, the last stint was the chatting factor, while the Spaniard disclosed he anticipated this type of efficiency.
No rate, format–
Leclerc: “I do not recognize. But I really did not discover it– I do not believe we discovered it as a group. Especially on hard tires, which is a little bit unusual, since the toughness of this automobile given that the start of the year is that it’s really strong in all problems with all tires. The race was a little an outlier, since as quickly as we place on the hards, we were half a 2nd off– to ensure that is really unusual. But we’ll check out it and attempt to comprehend what failed on that front. It can not be as a result of the format since, a substance does not function on one format and after that you go on hard after that you are slow-moving.
“So, it is very strange, especially compared to the McLaren, because with Lando, at first, I really thought we were going to fight with him. I was doing good tyre management until the safety car, but that reset a little bit all strategies, which is a bit of a shame, because I think we were doing a good job, but then on the hards we were just slow. I think we were expecting this weekend to be very similar, or in line with, whatever we had seen since the beginning of the season, but we were struggling quite a bit more.”
Sainz: “It just hasn’t been a very good weekend for us as a team. I think we were just not strong enough this weekend, P6 and P7 in quali and clearly also lacking a bit in the race. Just a clear lack of pace compared to the McLaren of Norris, and in the end, P4 and P5 given how bad the start went for both cars, and how early I had to pit for the hards to then one-stop from there, P5 actually is a good result given the circumstances.”
Race rate violated Red Bull–
Leclerc: “They [Red Bull] have been very, very strong. We expected to be closer in terms of race pace but I still believe strongly that our medium race pace was very strong, very difficult to show because we were in traffic but once we went longer in the stint, we were strong. However, as soon as we put the hards, we were miles off but not little bit, we were like half a second slower than McLaren when I was pushing and I knew the lap times of Lando, so that is very strange.”
Expected efficiency–
Sainz: “For me, I was particularly struggling with the fronts, the low-speed corners I was just understeering like crazy. We were having to run the kerbs a lot to turn the car, driving a very unnatural way in some places. When you look at the onboard, it is a bit wild all over the place, going on the sand and grass in some places. Quite crazy how much we were struggling but when I saw the track map and I drove the car in the sim, I kind of saw that this was going to be a tough weekend for the car characteristics and clearly we need some upgrades if we want to be more competitive in this sort of long duration tight corners.”
Lost at beginning–
Vasseur: “Well, it’s not a good help to lose a position at the start, but at the end we are behind Perez and Norris at the start and we finish behind them also at the end of the race. I think if we lose something today, it’s more on the last stint. Carlos was a bit unlucky with the timing of the pit stop because he pitted 3 or 4 laps before the VSC, and then the Safety Car. He was a bit scared to do a very long stint with the last set of arms. And he was a bit conservative at the beginning, but he did very well to manage the long stint like this. And if we miss something, it’s to start from too far away on the grid, for sure. This is more yesterday. And today we were a bit less performant, I think, on the hard than on the medium. The medium was under control, and I think that we were in a good position at the end of the stint of medium. But we lost a little bit the ground with the hard.”
McLaren in advance–
Vasseur: “There is no normal weekend. And so, from the beginning of the season, we know that our pack is very, very tight. And perhaps that Max sometimes is a bit faster. But we have a pack with six or seven cars in one tenth. I think in Quali, yesterday, it was one tenth or one tenth, between P2, P3 and P8 or P9. That means that for details, you can move from hero to 0. And when you start from P9, the race is much more difficult because you have dirty air in the first laps. Even if you are faster, you struggle to overtake. Because if you don’t have the big gap, you damage the tyres in the first ten laps, and then you are dead. I think it’s really a matter of putting everything together. We didn’t have a clean weekend on our side. We made too many mistakes. And we know that in this group, if you don’t do the perfect job, you won’t be in front.”
