After its strategy blunder in qualifying at the BrazilGP, ScuderiaFerrari wants to review this process going forward. Full story ⬇️
The Maranello squad raised some eyebrows at the start of Q3 at Interlagos on Friday whenThe decision to not take slicks proved to be the incorrect one, as the track was still plenty dry enough. Being out on the wrong tyre left Leclerc a frustrated 10th on the grid.
The Monegasque driver said afterwards: “We were expecting some rain which never came. I will speak with the team and try to understand what we can do better in those conditions. But I’m extremely disappointed. The pace was there.”later explained that the decision to put Leclerc on inters had been prompted by it wanting to split strategies across its cars because the forecast had been for rain to arrive immediately.
Had the weather blown in as quick as Ferrari anticipated then it could have been the key to pulling off a pole position, as other drivers on slicks would have been on the wrong tyres.Mattia Binotto, Team Principal, FerrariReflecting on what happened, Binotto said that in such crazy weather conditions there was a fine line between good and bad calls.
However, he still felt it important that the team gets together to better understand its decision-making processes that led it to electing to go down the split strategy route in the first place.
