A day to forget. It certainly didn't go as the Ferrari drivers hoped that, in the race of the Hungarian Grand Prix, he finishes in fourth place with Carlos Sainz and in sixth with Charles Leclerc.
A race to cancel
A big defeat for the red, considering the opportunity to be able to achieve victory. Instead, it was Max who triumphed Verstappen. The Dutch, with this success, flies even more in the drivers' championship, stretching Leclerc by well 80 points.
Binotto: "The machine didn't work"
Race to forget, as well as strategy. The decision to mount the white one did not convince at all, as the grip on Leclerc's single-seater, with the hard, it never arrived. Speaking of which, he tried to explain what really didn't work, Mattia Binotto, the team principal of Ferrari :
"I think we all expected a different result. Us first. Basically the car didn't work today. It didn't work out as we hoped. I hear talk of strategies, of the hard tyre, but in my opinion the basic problem was a car that didn't go as far as it should go today. Carlos did the same strategy as Hamilton, but Lewis finished second with Sainz starting fourth. Today the car with these conditions did not run. You can put the tires you want, if the car doesn't work, it doesn't work. If the car had been there today we wouldn't be here talking about tyres. With 30 laps to go, one tries to hold the position and go to the end with the long stint and it didn't work today. But basically the machine didn't work. It didn't give us the breath to do what we wanted. Carlos is the example. Before analyzing the strategy we will analyze why the car did not have the right pace. The car didn't work like we saw it at the start of the season. It's the first time he's not fast enough on race pace. Basically there is this. We have to analyze this."
“Something went wrong. I'm not saying that the choice of white - continues Binotto – today was right. She was the wrong one. However, I am saying that first and foremost the performance of the car must be sought. We will analyze everything, even the strategies and why we didn't decide to extend and stay out. Then in the end with the reds we didn't even get back on Perez. Basically there is a performance problem. There I emphasize the priority of our analyses”.
