From Spain harsh criticism of Ferrari

After Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished seventh and eighth in the Hungarian GP, the Spanish daily “Marca” bluntly analyzed the situation at Ferrari and the performance of the two drivers in this first part of the season, criticizing especially the Monegasque.

“Il Predestinato, as he is nicknamed in Italy, is allergic to disappointment, whether it is his own fault or the fault of others,” reads the unghesere post-weekend commentary. As seen in the Binotto days, the one who pays is always Carlos, who instead has an unwavering team spirit and whose complaints are those of a 19th-century English gentleman.”

“An absurd double stop, a five-second penalty for Leclerc and the impossibility of overtaking him despite being much faster on the track,” the Iberian portal’s analysis continues bitterly. “Since the arrival of Frederic Vasseur, not much has changed since last season.

“What can be guessed is that there is absolutely no desire to disturb Charles, whom the Italian press and Ferrari’s top management want to renew as if he had won several titles. Carlos, on the other hand, has already lost several points and a podium in Austria. And we are only halfway through the season.”
