Beyond making a self-criticism, the Madrid pilot sentenced his pit crew
He finished another GP in this championship Formula 1 and to ferrari f1 did not go very well due to poor management in the pit stops. It was this Sunday, July 31, at the Hungaroring circuit located in Hungarywhere the Spanish pilot Carlos Sainz He finished in fourth position where he clearly could have even won the race.
Poor management in the area of boxes he screwed up his time and made him worthy of position 4 in the Hungarian GP. Basically the ruling focused on the tires which wore out very quickly and that made him enter the pit stop area twice in a row. In a more general vision, the runner also made a self-criticism and determined that “we came without rhythm”.
The result of the Hungarian GP was not what Ferrari expected beyond the incident in the pit stops
Sainz started the race in position 2 and stayed that way for a long time, giving the usual runners a fight (Verstappen and Hamilton). However, in the last stages of yesterday’s competition things got complicated for the Italian team, as Sainz was not the only one affected. Leclerc also concluded with a poor result.
Sainz said this in his analysis of yesterday’s GP. “The start has been good and I have even been close to passing George –Russell– in turn one, but then it is that to go with the average and him with the soft it is not that we have had better degradation, we have had even worse. Then he has put the average and we too because we were not doing badly, but not as we expected to go. There was no rhythm, but with a good pit stop he could have overcut him and come out ahead of him. The race would have been a little different.”
In addition to the pit stops, Sainz also determines that the temperature was what affected Ferrari the most in Hungary
“Today perhaps the strategy is the minimum. We had no rhythm, with any compound, in any condition. The change in temperature compared to Friday has affected us badly. We have suffered a lot with all the compounds, with the balance of the car. It affected us a lot throughout the race because there was no pace for any type of compound” commented Carletes.
Although many already give Max Verstappen as the champion of this 2022, Sainz and Leclerc know that there is still a long way to go and that the chances of reversing this string of poor results are great. The Hungarian GP is in the past and now the concentration is on the Belgian GP that will take place on August 28.
