Another faux pas. Also to Monaco, Ferrari has missed a great opportunity. La stable of Maranello comes out defeated by the Principality in which Leclerc, as well as landlord, does not go beyond the sixth position, while Sainz finishes in eighth place.
Ferrari, a Sunday to forget
There is regret and it is enormous. Expectations in Maranello were super high. Already on the eve Vasseur had warmed the hearts of the fans, stating that the team"Had prepared the weekend in detail to take advantage of every opportunity that the particularly treacherous track could offer”. The pitfalls in the end the track offered them, like the pioggia, but they have not been exploited at all, on the contrary. Sainz made a mistake, which took him to eighth place, while Leclerc never found feeling, further confirming the difficulties on the SF-23.
The first defeat
However, the first defeat at Ferrari came on Saturday. Upon completion of qualifications, in which Leclerc snatched a very good third position, match officials have focused their attention on the impediment that the Monegasque had committed against Lando Norris. Seeing the images, the choice also seemed obvious: 3 penalty positions on the starting grid. The error comes from the low wall: Leclerc was not warned in time even if, as he himself admitted, he had done everything to avoid it"I couldn't do more than that, I can guarantee that I did my best once the communication arrived".
Here comes the crossroads of Montmelò
And now it comes Barcelona. For years the Montmelò route has been confirmed to be crucial for understanding what can be the seasonal objectives for each team. Ferrari, as announced some time ago, will change a lot on its SF-23. In fact, several updates are planned that will allow us to understand which path this Ferrari intends to take. From the series: now or never.
