Our pace in the wet was really bad.

In the first stint we looked better because Tsunoda was blocking Ocon who would have been much quicker in free air than us.

The car suffered from high deg as well, especially regarding rear tyres.
It wasn't 'really bad' unless you were expecting them to fight for top podium spots.

Considering where they'd have been at if this was the car from earlier in the season, it's actually a big improvement. It was fine. Not amazing, but we knew this track layout in these kinds of conditions would be basically worst case scenario for the car. The fact that they still hung on and were up at least near the front was a good accomplishment.
McLaren, alpine, mercedes, red bull were all faster than Ferrari. Leclerc's brilliant restart kept the car in good scoring positions but 5th fastest car in the wet was reality. A big weakness of the car
I think that's a massive exaggeration, while you can certainly argue that, that was the case with numbers, without context you can use numbers to paint any story...

I don't understand Sainz's excuses in the media pen after the race. He claimed the car was "very unpredictable" and he has "no idea" why he crashed. It was clear from the replay that he braked on the white line (slippery) which caused the rear to lock and spun him around. It's an elementary mistake for a racing driver to make.

Leclerc did the same thing in the race, but saved it.

You always have to take a driver's "excuses" with a grain of salt.

Sometimes there’s pedal fluctuations, can’t predict those.
