New Ferrari mess, Leclerc: “Now we need clarification”

Charles Leclerc bitterly commented on the Ferrari team’s strategy error

Charles Leclerc will start from tenth place in Saturday’s sprint race of the Brazilian Grand Prix after yet another mistake by the Ferrari front office during qualifying.

The Principality’s driver took to the dry track on intermediate tires, hoping for rain. “We expected rain that never came, I will talk to the team and we will try to figure out what to do better in these conditions,” the Monegasque told Sky.

“What went through my head? I accepted the team’s decision to fit intermediates, but then the rain didn’t come…. We have the car to have a good weekend, but now we have to try to come up with it in the next sessions after what happened today. The pace was there, but that’s what happened.”
