Ferrari finished with a memorable result at the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, with their drivers finishing only 7th and 8th in the race in Hungary. According to team boss Frederic Vasseur, they made a lot of mistakes this time, which they have to correct.
Charles Leclerc finished seventh and Carlos Sainz eighth in Sunday’s race at the Hungaroring, a mediocre performance from the F1 superstar team who must fight for the World Cup title. According to Scuderia team president Frederic Vasseur, they made a lot of mistakes that they need to correct in the future.
This result was not what we expected coming to Budapest, but I think that the 6th and 11th places obtained at that time had a bad effect on our performance. We had to take a risk at the start by starting Sainz on soft tyres, it was a good choice, but we also know we have to put in a couple of hard sets, and that turned out to be too much of a burden,” the French specialist explained about Ferrari’s poor strategic decisions.
“On Charles’s side, I think the race might have been a lot better because the pace was there, but his position was greatly compromised by the pit stops and the penalty and then the wheelie problem. I think we lost another eight seconds with the pit stops, plus there was the traffic. Maybe fifth could have been done” – Written by www.0123go.comHow Vasseur felt about Leclerc’s situation.
First, we need time to understand what we did right and what we did wrong. I think on our part we made a lot of mistakes from start to finish. Pit stops, qualifying, maybe tire handling etc. So we have a mission,” concluded the 55-year-old pro.
