For one reason or another, the Ferrari It has always been at the center of attention, both when there was from criticize both when there was from praise. Most of the time, however, those that arrived in Maranello were critical seen i reliability problems or because of strategies totally to be reviewed. And they are exactly what he talked about Mattia binotto in an interview with SkySportF1.
Binotto defends strategies
Talking about imperfect strategies on Ferrari's part, the a. races immediately catch the eye Monaco e Silverstone. In the first, Ferrari has threw a front row by returning Leclerc for put in between then stop it 2 laps later; the Monegasque was therefore seen override by teammate and even from Perez and Verstappen. In England the situation is different: Sainz returns, Leclerc stays out; when the Safety Car restarts, the Monegasque loses the position on his teammate who has fresher tires as well as Perez and Hamilton who, to pass, find themselves in front of a Leclerc very bad which, at that point, just wants to give a hand to Carlos.
Mattia Binotto, team principal of the Reds, thus commented on these two races, recalling how much it is difficult work of the team principal and great strategies shown by Ferrari in some races.
“It takes courage and recklessness to be a team principal. It is a complex profession and in hindsight we all do better than 'direct'. I am convinced that our team is also strong at a strategic level: often we look at the mistakes and not at what is right. I'm thinking, for example, of Austria, where we created the strategy, while in France we were the only ones to have brought two medium tires in the race, the others had less courage on the pit wall and had the hard ones. This is a team that has the right mentality to take its responsibilities and make its choices decisively, even if sometimes – in hindsight – they are not the best.
Regrets? only Munich
“I would like to play Monaco again: not having won there starting from the front row is almost unbelievable, then it started to rain when we were on the grid and everything happened; for Silverstone, I'm sorry how it turned out but I think the choice was right. Then she went the way she did, and I don't know what would have happened if Charles had stopped and Hamilton had stayed on track with a hard tire ”.
And for reliability
Binotto also pointed out that all the Red Bull reliability issues they arrived when they were behind the reds and, instead, at Ferrariwhen they were leading the race: “There have been so many regrets this year,we could have won five more races, but for one reason or another it didn't happen. We had some reliability issues, which is a technical issue, but we have to keep working hard and looking forward. We will soon find the reliability we need. It's a shame, there are remorse, we could have been 9-3 in terms of victories, because we always had problems when we were in the lead, Red Bull always when they were behind.".
