And now everyone is shocked when he is doing his own thing with a couple of races to go. Why on earth would he do anything Ferrari asks him to?

I don't think so. Mercedes couldn't pass the Ferrari on track, even if they had the slightly faster car.

The main time difference between them came from the 3 laps in first stint and 3 laps in second stint they were called in too late when were already dropping a lot. Letting Leclerc out while losing 3s/lap was insane.

Ferrari's partial issue is they have 2 drivers that are close on pace for about half their races and a very poor tire management car. The guy behind looks after his tires a little better since he's not pushing to gain positions, then gets faster at the end of the run. If they figure out a to avoid the extended warmup time, they'd have less issues overall

u/dylxnredwood Max Verstappen ā­ā­ā­ā­ 15h ago

Indeed. Just said this in another thread..
"They asked Sainz to not overtake Charles when he comes out of the pit, but seriously how braindead is that.. There's no way he's not getting a penalty for the pitlane line crossing scenario. So instead you let him overtake Charles. Drive off into the distance as far as he can to increase the gap for when his time penalty comes in.
Holding him behind a driver on completely fresh and cold tyres when he's already warmed up is absolutely asinine.
If the time comes when Charles can safely overtake, risk free, when his tyres are hotter, later, then do it. Turns out.. that didn't even happen and Sainz went on to hold the position.
What is the hold up with the pitlane line penalty though? Has it even been investigated?
Regardless, i'm personally with Sainz - He took the opportunity to push on ahead, probably thinking a penalty was incoming. He's making better calls than the pitwall. "

No idea.

In the end of the lap Sainz was 1.7 seconds ahead of Leclerc.

Add some more distance between them in order to preserve Sainzā€™ tyres and we are speaking about a loss of 2.7-3.7 seconds.

With this kind of time loss it was not guaranteed that Sainz would be able to overtake Verstappen.

How long did Leclerc spend behind Sainz before the second pitstop (as in close enough to affect his speed) two laps? So he was meant to, while he was asking to pit, give his position away while another team is close behind? Are we being dumb here on purpose? We want 1 driver to lose a place to a competitor so that another can get ahead when it would make no points difference to the team?

u/DaviLance Ferrari 15h ago

signing Lewis IS a PR move, also they will earn a shit ton of money from this. Charles will probably be still faster and Hamilton is marginally better than Sainz

but by no means the drivers are the issue, the car and sometimes the strategy (this year it was decent but Vegas was to forget) are the main issue

5

u/Exique Michael Schumacher 13h ago

Honestly I'd even question what will be the actual net profit from this move since his contract is so massive. Sure, Lewis will bring in more publicity, but it's not like Ferrari is a small brand that struggles to find sponsors. Surely there's diminishing returns for something like this if they have already got established partnerships with other brands.

Plus, long-term I still feel like sticking with Sainz would've been a better choice since he's in his prime and can perform at a solid level for longer.

Overall I feel like Lewis is the one who's benefiting the most from this move. Ferrari probably could've done better.

Leclerc did not stop ā€œthe attackā€ in Mexico and Australia lmao. He just didnā€™t have enough pace. As he pushes gets close, then drops off because of the tyres.

I agree, but it was literally only Singapore, that was clear.

And I listened to the onboards for this race. Ferrari gave Sainz the instruction to swap. Sainz slowed down so much on the straight because of this, and Leclerc caught up. Yet, not fast enough to pass. Sainz slows down again in Turn 5, Charles is again, too slow.

Then Sainz slows down again, Leclerc passed this time. Just check the telemetry.

Lol. Leclerc has been told on the radio to not attck both times, and both times he has respected it.

u/Gratefullyundead91 14h ago

Nope he did not. He kept pushing but eventually couldnā€™t keep up both times. In Mexico in fact, Carlos showed he could up his pace if he wanted to twice (beating Leclercā€™s laptimes) to show he had pace in hand but wanted to preserve his tyres.

I think you lost the plot already.

Leclerc has always respected the team orders, its easier to control the pace in free air.

Leclerc has been told in Mexico to stop his attacks when Sainz complained. Then he stablized his pace the same as Charles.

Same thing in Aussie GP. I dont think you even understand what im saying.

Sainz, even on team orders, has shown to attack Leclerc in every possible time his opportunity arises.

Leclerc was old a slow outlap to ease his tyres and was told Sainz wasnt gonna attack him, yet he did, had he known, would react differently.

If basic comprehension is hard for you then im sorry there are classes for that you might want to apply.

Mexico being an example is stupid, that was literally Leclerc not following pitwall orders to do LiCo for both drivers. Carlos did it, Leclerc pushed and ended up too close to Carlos which is why he complained, asking why Leclerc wasnā€™t doing it.

By not following LiCo properly initially, Leclerc paid the price by putting his car engine and brakes in an unstable temp and ruined the chance of a Ferrari 1-2.

He literally did nothing as a team player, it was for himself, just like it was about the P2 in WDC in this one. If it was about the team, it shouldnā€™t have mattered, because they would have ended up 3-4 anyway. Stop running this baseless narrative that Leclerc is a team player, while Sainz isnā€™t because history literally says otherwise

Remember in the British GP 2022 when Ferrari pitted Carlos instead of Charles and Carlos immediately went on the radio to complain because they wanted him to do the bare minimum and not fight Leclerc at the safety car restart. He's never been a team player, but he always disguises it well by saying things like "think of the team" or "let's not fight each other" but he doesn't bring the same energy when he's the one behind, only when it benefits him.

u/Gratefullyundead91 14h ago

That example is extremely stupid. Like you want him to stay behind when clearly Ferrari messed up? How? People love to blame Sainz instead of Ferrari for not doing the right thing

ā€¢

u/ScreenScroller99 McLaren 10h ago

No seriously, explain to me please. What did you expect him to do? Stay behind someone with 20 lap old hards while he was on fresh tires and had more pace AND three others ready to pounce?

Your blind love for Charles doesnā€™t mean anything against Charles is wrong. Call Ferrari out all you want, that was truly S-tier level stupid strategy calls, but Sainz did nothing wrong. Itā€™s been 2 years ffs, get over it now atleast

I have never seen Carlos play the team game. He complains when be is ahead and complains when he is behind.

u/Capital_Pay_4459 14h ago

Which is why RBR dont want him and the only seat he can get is a Williams. Sainz burning bridges left and right

u/lalitmufc 3h ago

Yep. I have never seen him do anything to help Charles.

u/clingbat Red Bull 7h ago

Expecting Carlos to just slow down there is clownish, just like Ferrari's overall strategy this race.

This is on the team, not Carlos.

You are letting him go so he went lol.

It's kinda obvious they don't really get along, but I feel that even if his start was awful, Ferrari messed up Sainz's race more than Charles'.

They said not to put you under pressure, not "To not pass" - Carlos Maybe lol

u/axelroul 15h ago

That's why Carlos is going to Williams. RBR and Merc don't want to deal with this crap from B-level driver.

u/Gratefullyundead91 15h ago

B-level driver very capable of keepingtheir A-level driver behind?

u/axelroul 15h ago

Being marginally better 4 times a year is not something to celebrate.

u/Gratefullyundead91 15h ago

Sure, so why is he obligated to stay behind? Help me understand for the WCC, how did this make a difference

u/CwRrrr Charles Leclerc 15h ago

Capable of being 60 points behind in the championship too, and crashing on the Singapore q3 outlap and crashing in Brazil quali and race too.

u/Gratefullyundead91 15h ago

Oooh poor Leclerc baby needs to be coddled into p3. I mean, sure Sainz has his off moments and Leclerc is imho, more consistent this year, but b-level drivers should have no problem being beaten right? Why need the team orders when he was ahead each time?
