after this ... anyone who is working on that strategy thing for Ferrari should have some shame. some shame ffs....
Not sure how the tires get chosen but Ferrari had only 1 set of Mediums and 1 set of hards like everyone but HAM, Max, Per and Gas that had 2 sets of mediums, 1 used and 1 set of hard. So the strategies where a bit locked in from before the race.
What you describe, say it all - and thats Ferraris problem! The have the fastest car and are the leading team technically. But what they do at a race weekend in terms of strategic decisions is not even on amateur level. I cannot risk to use all my medium tyres so my lead-driver has to use a tyre in the deciding phase of the race i have no data at all, because it was not used for even one single lap(especially as it is well known since Monza that the F1-75 does not make good use of its tyres when track temperature is low!!!)! Ferrari needs someone like Ross Brawn, under whom such horrible decision were unthinkable! The race strategy is intuition only, not planned. A disaster, to be honest! Even if i totally support Binotto, who really managed the technical departements and personel extremely well and has to get credit for, he has to act now and restructure the race-engineer and Strategy Departement. And i mean not that he should fire people, but things have to be organised in a way that such diletantism cannot happen any more. The best way is to have one person making the decisions, one person who says whats happening and it has to be a person with organisational and strategical knowledge. One person responsible . Unfortunately such a person is hard to find but thats what Binotto has to do. If there is no such person available, a reorganisation of Ferraris race engineering/strategy approach at race weekends has to be made, with procedure that rules out such diletantism. Not an easy task, but that has to be done immediately, as there is just no chance to win the championship in F1 with such a chaotic approach and strategy on a race weekend.
And all the talk from Sainz about the pace - sorry, but Leclerk was 1 second faster than Russell after he has overtaken him. So - the pace of the car was not the problem...
