Only 2 words to sum up this race. For Redbull - AMAZING and for Ferrari- HORROR.
There is no other way I can articulate or express myself. I expect this million dollar team and personnel to make correct judgement and take correct action where needed in this high stake pinnacle of motorsports. How can this happen? Just a horror show.
I don’t know how this team can turn around now. Redbull can win and showed it can win with the second best car of the weekend by simply playing strategy at their opponent.
There was or is will be a season if all areas are not addressed and improved to right level.
I like to know the thoughts of experts and more experienced fans.
The only bad call Ferrari had was having Charles come in the pits with Sainz already there which lost Charles maybe 2 seconds.
Sainz lost over 2 seconds behind Latifi and Charles lost 4 seconds behind Albon. Further Sainz call to not cover Perez not only lost Sainz the win, but also messed up all the plans for the team.
This is Sainz v Latifi:
This is Sainz with Latifi lap vs Sainz next:
and this is Verstappen first 2 laps when he switched to hards:
Leclerc is even worse than that given that Albon ignored every blue flag during the lap and Leclerc could only pass because Albon went long in T1.
If anything was embarassing this race was race director. On top of the line crossing RedBull was without tyres on with 3 minutes to go on the delayed start, a penalty of 10" stop&go and other further stuff.
Race is done, and Ferrari made their mistake of calling Leclerc in instead of covering Verstappen at that point, but it's ridiculous to talk like Ferrari is the only responsible for what happened.
