Max was so surprised to see the hards , he had to do the 360 to actually confirm visually that they actually did that
Nah man that was a spin out of happines. He saw the hards and was like "Weeeeeeeeeeee i don`t have any competition again" 🤣
😂
😂
And then did a little laugh
😅🤣........thats brutal 😂👍
Because they wanted the 3 points in the social media team championship 😂
You gave the perfect answer. Well done 😉
they need to make jokes every race to win social media team championship
So it’s all Matt’s fault
Shit, this is the earliest winner of the internet for the day ever congratulations.
They have their priorities straight. XD
When Charles had a first engine problem, I thought the engine durability will be the number one issue that may stop him from getting the WDC. I was wrong lol.
Haven't they had as much dnfs as RB?
Charles led by 45 point or so 3 races in.
@@gandalf_thegrey Everyone seems to forget from what places Charles DNFd compared to max.... Max DNFd 2times with pretty much gurranteed 2nd place finishj.... leclerc DNFd from a comfortable win and a chance to fight for a win.... even if you think there is no way leclerc could have fight for the win in baku and that he would finish 3rd... He STILL would have lost more points than Verstapen... and dont forget.... the next few races would be Monza and SPa.... so I am expecting atleast one engine failure....
Same 😁
Traditions
@@saytam_ar leclerc would have won baku, he had better tires, and he was faster.
Max and Red Bull: We changed the strategy before the race and adapted it to the conditions
Ferrari: We don't do that there
Ferrari RAN OUT of medium tiers
@@umm7649 You think a 3 stopper with 3 mediums and a soft would have been better? Because they need to change colour at least once.
Wait you are allowed to change more then just the lap you are going come in on?????? (the Ferrari strategists). I honestly would not be surprised if all their plans D, E ,F calls are just 4, 5, 6 lap extensions of the main strategy (yes literally just their position in the alphabet).
@@umm7649 boxed Charles way too early, almost the same as Max's red stint. Horrible call by Ferrari
Nah the plan was do whatever red bull doesn't do
We need a compilation at the end of the season of all of Ferrari's blunders in 2022 You know this one won't be the last...
It’s gonna be 5 hours long
@@Bigheadguyfromsmolmovie How disappointing 😆
We've got what, 9 more races? That's between 9 and 18 horrendous Ferrari fuck ups guaranteed.
@@carterf3585 even if they make no mistakes, it's over. Mercedes has caught up, and they're gonna improve a lot more than Ferrari because it's Mercedes and their morale is crazy high right now.

Yes
And do exactly the opposite of what Ferrari does.

Yea
Ferrari RAN OUT of medium tiers
@@umm7649 you do realize that you have to use at least two different compound of tires
@@umm7649 They put medium tired on him after the hard ones. Did you mean they ran out of soft tires? Pretty sure this is also not correct. At worst they still had used tires, but that would still have been faster then those hards.
@@ronrolfsen3977 charles did medium-medium-hard-soft. Sainz medium-medium-soft
Ferrari have definitely lost the plot this season, i really feel for Leclerc he must be fuming. Even Max, Lewis and Russel was laughing at the hard tyre on Leclerc’s car.
Just this season? I can remember plenty of times they just looked like they forgot about Kimi. At first it looked like he was to throw up a road block and slow those who had pitted down for Seb, only to leave him out there a couple more laps after being passed (on extremely old tires).
Strategically they've been shit for the last 6 years.
Everyone makes it sound like they were in the cooldown room laughing on the floor. It was a nervous "are you seeing what I'm seeing?" chuckle and that was about it.
@@Sertifi Yep. They've been terrible since the Vettel years. But this year just seems so much worse.
They laughed, but they already know that he will get that. If you check the first laps in the Qualifying, you will see the reason, not just Mercedes, but even the McLaren, Alpine and Alfa Romeo was on already used tyre, but Ferrari was on new tyre there too, they simply doesn't left any mew soft tyre to the race. If you check the last laps for Leclerc, he only gained 3sec against Perez in the last 14 laps (before VSC). 0,2sec in each lap when your opponent has tyre disadvantage? (30+ laps with medium vs 14 laps with soft, pretty clear who have the advantage).
The 360 spin for the fans was my favorite part of the entire race... I felt as if Red Bull wanted to stick it to Ferrari as if Max was a snowboarder.
Max was looking in the rear mirror and thought he spotted Charles having hard tires. So to take a better look he did the 360.
Ferrari RAN OUT of medium tiers- they started the race with lechare last set of mediums
@@deadbeef576 What a spin tho.
@@SuperMonkei kind of like Vettel
Sainz also did about 20 laps on a set of softs, reminds me of Vettel in Spain 2020
Ferrari drivers deserve better
23 iirc. Hamilton did 20. Both had good pace at the end.
It s just temperature
@@ijustfelldown Hamilton did, but I was surprised at how much slower Sainz was on those same softs.
I admire Sainz and his patience. That is one virtue that is hard to have as a Ferrari driver this season. Charles too. But probably why they are one of the best drivers in the world.
Matt is absolutely right!!!! Charles needs to speak up and take charge when it is needed. With Verstappen and Hamilton they have spoken up with determination when they don't agree with a team call even though at the time it might seem extreme. They are the drivers actually driving the car!!!!! The pit crew and team strategist are there to make sure the driver has the best car and support the driver to win the race, Not tell the driver every move to make and how to make it. This is where Lewis and Max have excelled with their driving. Look at Sainz Win!!! He completely ignored Ferrari pit wall and got a win!!!
You really think Charles isn t ?
Jup Vettel had to do that as well, that's why it looked like he was making the calls for the strat team because he actually was.
Just comes with confidence and experience. But it's mainly the engineers and staff fault
This is the most true fact I've ever heard 👍👍
More like Lance. "YES YES YES LEAVE ME ALONEEEE"
3:09 both Max and Hamilton does a lot of strategy calls with their teams. They could both be their own strategists, which anyone who has done even a lick of simracing knows isn't all that difficult IF you have all the information available too you, doubly so for F1 drivers who have literally spent their entire lives dedicated to racing. These guys knows wtf they're doing. Leclerc just gets a "We are checking" whenever he tries to talk about strategy. It's a complete communication breakdown over there
Ferrari is just full of old geezers who think they know better then the younger drivers..
they are Ferrari ofcrourse...
the company thats out of touch for years now, both in f1 and the car industry
Will come back to you.....
Stand by......
@@gruisman i think they ar full of stupid people that need to get fired because they suck at their job especially the strategy team all of them fired
Not only that, how did Sainz get his first win? “Stop inventing”. That’s the approach of a champion. Drivers are driving they know what the feeling is like, computers and data should be assistants and stay as that.
@@gruisman *Ferrari has sued you
The way he said 'Max managed to pass him, 360 spin for the fans then pass him again!' Had me laughing fr 😂🙏

@@AahanaGoyal Absolutely. He had been having a pretty good race to that point.
@@glenchapman3899Exactly! It was a solid p8 at least for him
Drive to survive Is gonna be full of Ferrari drama this season 😂😂.
I think the next season of DTS will be the first i watch for this reason solely
I immediately went "they've thrown away Leclerc's race again" as soon as I saw the hards in the pits.
Matt I agree with you!! Charles needs to be more vocal like Hamilton, Vettel or Sainz at helping his team out a bit by letting them know if he can get tyres into temp range and his overall feel with the current tyres, rather than following them
leclerc seems like he puts too much faith in ferraris decisions. if they say "box for inters" when its dry and sunny leclerc wouldnt second guess them
@@didickcheeseburger I am afraid that "handling things'' that way is not tolerated at Ferrari. To many people high up in the hierarchy need to be kept happy. Ferrari is living in the past... They need a wake up call, but nobody speaks up. They desperately need a toto type of guy, but they won't hire him because of their ego. Lauda was right, as always: once the Italians reign at Ferrari it's downhill from there on....
@@fa7471987 I dont think so, I think if you have a strong personality (Like schumi) or adapt one, you can be a bit of a maverick and prove with your results that the team needs to listen to you when there are tricky situations.
@@fa7471987 i know. scuderia ferrari seems like its run by the mafia. theyve always had that vibe like "never go against the family". like when mattia binotto had his finger in leclercs face like he was telling him watch what you say even though the team kinda screwed him over
@@10sukhwinder But it wasn't just the maverick Schumacher was it? It was the dream team with Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and others.
Literally not mentioned here at all was the fact that Carlos actually did the M>M>S tire route that would've made more sense, yet was still passed on-track by Lewis on the exact same strategy. I can only guess this was all because the Fezzas were a lot harder on tire life than the other teams.
Correct. Sainz couldn't make the medium last long enough to make this strategy work and ended up spending way too much time on the soft for his level of tyre degradation. If not for the late VSC, he would've been caught by Perez, and possibly also by Leclerc on his improvised 3-stop-strategy.
Also Sainz was pitted to early on his mediums. Had to do 20 laps on USED softs . Lewis still had new softs..
The truth is that he didnt have enough pace there. Even Max had better pace when his 30 laps medium was worse than Sainz's 20 soft tyres. In Austria it has been shown that Ferrari is better than RB when it comes into tyres so tyres shouldnt be an issue
That's true, but Leclerc could have made it work, especially if Ferrari hadn't brought him in too early on his first stint. He was way faster that day, fastest of everyone.
I think sainz also had some slow pit stops.
McLaren in 2012 was similar. Started the year as best car on the grid. Lost development race. Hamilton and Jenson DNF´ed like 5 times while leading the race, pit stops were terrible. And they finished third in the constructors.
The reason for this disaster was the rain. I was sure, as was anybody, that the rain was gonna hit within the first half an hour of the race. Ferrari put on the mediums to keep safe in case the rain was gonna be late. But then the rain went away and no more was going to come, so they panicked and thought they need to respond to undercuts, rather than protect tire life because near the end of the race it was likely going to rain anyway, so they didn't need the tire life cause they were going to switch to the inter. But the rain never happened enough to get wet.
Yeah but they should have extended that first run then to see if the rain would come after lap 20 then. Thats what i thought they were going to do personally
Yh, Ferrari was sure it was going to rain
It's incredible how every other team responds to change mostly fine. It's so uniquely Ferrari to bin it at the strategy level.
Really shows how it's a team sport and we know what part of the team is bringing the rest down.
I was at the track on Sunday, and it was raining the whole race (more like drippings) but you could feel drops of rain for the whole race, and that confused them enough to make another mistake on the race..
No, lol
I applied to the 'Strategist' vacancy at Ferrari.
I'm over qualified apparently as I could spell F1.
but do you know the difference between a 5 second penalty and a stop and go?
@@fireworx_925 I rely on the driver for this kind of technical advice 😎
@@UseYourNoodle Damn then you might have chance to get hired
FIA: The Andretti Motorsports team has asked what it takes to finish 4th and 6th in F1.
Mercedes: "Continue developing your car throughout the season"
Red Bull: "Hire two strong drivers"
McLaren: "LuL wut?"
Ferrari: "Easy, just start the race in 2nd and 3rd"
This comment is just... ✋😑👌 perfect.
Good video idea at the end there @WTF1. "Fastest cars to not win the championship". McLaren 2012 comes to mind. Bad reliability, pitstops etc. Came 3rd in the end with the best car on most weekends.
We'll have to see what happens later on in the season because people forget how bad 2012 Mclaren were. What happened to Lewis then is essentially happening to Charles now. But the way Ferrari are going it looks like they are going to surpass Mclaren 😂
1:05 I liked the little "editing hocus pocus" (sorry if my technical jargon is a bit out of everyone's league 😉) they used to switch from medium to the hard tyres.
What can I say I'm easily entertained, which is why I like Matt so much 😙
That sad thing is when I was watching, I thought putting on the hard tyre was a good idea when they did it. You wanna know what was a worse idea that even I didn't think was good? Pitting Leclerc AGAIN!
In fairness leclerc pitting again wasn't entirely stupid.
It was clear Hamilton and sainz would overtake him and that he would end up just ahead of Perez if not behind if he stuck with hards.
The issue with the pitstop was that leclerc was piss poor on the softs going slower than sainz and gaining like 1 second in about 10 laps on a guy that was on old mediums
It cost him a place. Perez was behind but after the pit, he was ahead and he didn't catch up either
Pitting in for softs was a good call given what has happened because there were drops of rain near the end. The track is too cold for hard tyres and was getting cooler because of the rain. Getting softs on greatly reduces the risk of slipping, even when you do lose 20 seconds, which he probably would've anyway if he stayed on the hards.
your way to present the things is really awesome, so much detailed and clean. its really very nice. greatman....
To add to the Charles being thankful, every time Carlos has questioned the call from the team it aften turns positive for him
Lol, it was my first F1 race ever. Even i could see that it was a panic move. You could early on see how bad the hard tiers worked for Haas. I respected at the very least the change over to soft at the end as a practical admission of error. Very confuced what Haas is even doing tho, i understand that they have bad cars, but hard tiers and just "chilling" at the back was just weird to see
Toto Wolf explained this in his post-race interview: Ferrari didn't have a choice (!) on race day because the mistake happened on Friday. They had only hards and softs left and didn't allocate the correct number/types of tires. Of course, your point stands that they shouldn't have relied on hards based on the data. And yes, both Leclerc and Sainz need to start resisting bad calls!
Extend the medium stint, put on soft. It's literally that easy.
Seeing the data afterward, Ferrari is lacking some pace, red bull is actually quicker than them. Even them going their own strategy to medium medium soft, it’s not a guarantee win for them, but can at least fight for podium. It’s not a surprise for max win after seeing their data. All the causes of shit strategy is lacking pace, it’s just like a domino effect.
@@waichihong Where can you see race pace data?
Medium, medium, soft problem solved. Not medium, medium, hard, soft 😂😂. They put him the first time way, way too early for no reason at all.
Animation was on a different level this week. Loved it
I think the mediums at the start because of they are stuck behind Russell on soft on a track where passing is difficult, they lose the advantage of the softs
I remember the radio call between them arguing hard or used softs (they had no fresh softs), at a stage softs wouldn't last until the end.
Had Leclerc extended the mediums until the softs could go a full last stint, no extra stop was needed.
That radio message made me think "OMG, no! How could they do or think that!?". And then they cut a good stint short to actually do that. Thats their B...no A...we go for D strategy.
Charles needs to do stratergies himself, its getting ridiculous. Im not sure if they were even watching what Alpine and Haas' lap times.
Ferrari strategists saw the white tyres on the Haas and alpine and thought "I need to get me one pair of those"
First: you're correct. Ferrari at the very least should have put Sainz on softs and Lecelrc on Mediums. This means Leclerc would be covering lewis behind him and Sainz would be chasing Russell ahead. Both strategies could have worked to be honest.
Second: Ferrari focused too much on covering other teams. The first set of mediums didn't go long enough. Sainz came in one lap after George and still didn't get an undercut. Charles at least got an extra 5 out of the first set but then they got hardly anything on set 2. What a waste of a tire, there was still plenty of meat on the bone. Third, as Toto said, they lost it on Saturday by using misallocating the tires. Even if they had come onto softs, I don't think either driver had a new pair like Lewis (correct me if I'm wrong). Lastly, since Leclerc could have made it to the end on hards, why bother coming in to change back to softs? You've already paid the time to put the hards on, they can go to the end, at least make some people overtake you.
2:30 matt you killing me 😂🤣
So max was so rapid that he literally intimidated them into reacting to his stop and pace because they figured they wouldn’t make up the ground later in the race. Max was fastest in Q2, had bad luck keeping him off the front row & then won from 10th. Imagine if he’d qualified were he should have would have… easy dubs for max. It would have made the race anti climatic but still. The pace of Ferrari wasn’t the same as they didn’t adapt to well to the cold temps.
Starting with mediums wasn't a bad idea: Ferrari was performing amazingly with those on, so extending 2 mediums stints and then mounting soft tyres at the end with a lighter car would have been a perfect strategy for them.
What tyres did they put after 1st pitstop?
@@tirumalad2479 Mediums again
It worked for Hamilton, he went from 7th to 2nd by the end of the race. Charles, starting in 3rd should have at the bare minimum scored a podium with the correct strategy.
The editing on this video is on point!
Charles Leclerc: "I can totally win a F1 Title with this car."
Ferrari Strategists: "...actually, we have a better strategy, we'll lose instead."
I swear, how is this the way Leclerc's title run seems to be decided? Do Ferrari even WANT to win anymore?
I can understand one strategy blunder on occasion, but this? This has gotten to comedic levels at how often this happens. Ferrari is trying to win a championship, while at the same time, slashing their own Tyres. Something needs to change, right now, otherwise, Ferrari will forever be known as the farce that it is, instead of the serious team that wants to win, maybe this is how Andretti Motorsport comes in, by replacing a joke of a Ferrari team.
Seriously, Charles would be LEADING the championship, or at the very least be arm's reach of the top spot, if it weren't for Ferrari's blunders.
Instead, we get this: Max Verstappen wins due to Ferrari's mechanical failures. Max Wins due to blown strategy call. Max has a problem! Charles finishes 4th due to poor strategy.
Getting pole doesn't do you much if you can't finish. And right now, I don't even think Ferrari WANT to finish.
I feel horrible for Leclerc, and Sainz. How can you seriously go for race wins, when you can't trust any strategy posed by Ferrari? They deserve better, and the fans deserve better!
Doesn't really change anything if he get the soft tyre, just check Sainz result without the hard tyre. The main problem they have only already used soft tyres to the race (if you rewatch the Qualifying Q3 first measured lap, you will see only the 2 Ferrari and Verstappen used the shiny new soft there, 7 cars just saving one set new soft to the race). So the final result was horrible, Leclerc wasn't even competitive against Perez in the last 16 laps, Perez was on 30 laps old medium, Leclerc was on 16 laps old softs, but he only halved the 6sec to 3sec in 14 laps (before VSC). 0,2sec per laps on newer tyre is sad, but if they are also had softness difference too, that is laughable.
I thought Binotto had already made clear this year that “2022 goal is not to win the title”, everyone thought he was just taking the pressure of the team, but my guy was god damn serious about that.
Well said.
There is no way Ferrari will keep P2, Merc actually behaves like a team that knows how to win championships; good reliability, consistency, knowing when to take the risk and when to play it safe.
If the floor change after summer makes even the slightest difference, then that is it for Ferrari, they'll spend another decade without a title.
Ferrari is done for 2022 either way. Their only fight is for second place with Merc
I do feel like Lecrec needs to take charge when its him on the track. He understands what the car is going through as the race is going down so it should fall to him to make final say about the pit strategies until Ferrari stop panicking.
It seems to me that Ferrari reacted to Max with Charles but this resulted in a 3rd stint which would have been very tight on the softs - Carlos coming in a few laps later for the softs was still a bit tight - so they had to go for the hards (as they had to use another conpound) to get to the finish (to avoid the what happened 4th stop for tyres).
They also had tire deg issues I think. Sainz pit first with mediums was about the same as softs for others. And Hamilton the same strat as Sainz got the better of them because their tire deg was amazing.
Honestly the strategy should've been a simple soft, medium, soft/medium. It was the easiest call. But in typical ferrari style, they have to screw everything up
Because if they did not have terrible strategy, they wouldn't be Ferrari.
The team of "aerodynamics is for those who can't build engines". They've always been really keen of selfsabotage.
oh this is one for the Top 10 Strategy Blunders reel
Another way you could ask the question does not even involve the hard tyre: why did they put the medium on after the medium if they did not intend to commit to a longer middle stint anyway?
Ferrari did the same thing in AbuDhabi 2010, panicking to cover Vettel's pitstop when Alonso didn't need to pit. Alonso got stuck behind Petrov so Ferrari handed Vettel the championship. Ferrari strategy has been a shtshow since Ross Braun left.
Vettel was very grateful at that moment. Later in the team not so much... 😄
That was done to cover Webber’s pit stop whose stop only happened due to Webber’s right rear scraped a wall and was damaged. Ferrari panicked and thought Webber was doing an undercut but instead Ferrari seemingly and totally forgot about Vettel’s chances
@@chanchaniceman Thanks! I would love to watch that race again.
Ferrari seem to let the race come to them a lot of the time, just reacting. Looking surprised, not being proactive which has obviously cost them loads.
I dont know anything about video editing but that change from medium to hards at 1:07 is dope.The person who did that deserves a raise.
Great vid!
Did they still have medium tires to do a medium>medium>soft 2 stop strategy ?
According to an interview from Toto, they (ferrari) consumed the majority of mediums on friday.
So if that is the case, they already lost the weekend on friday.
Can't somebody look that up, what tires ferrari used throughout the weekend ?
Toto indeed told in a post race interview that Ferrari probably did use the mediums up either on friday or saturday so they didnt have options, only hards and softs left and it was too early for softs.
No they couldn t, it was hard or soft and they pitted way to urly to choose softs
You know both Ferraris ran two sets of mediums in the race, right? I'd say that's pretty conclusive proof they had enough for a strategy that required two sets of mediums. They were new sets too, in fact the only reason they couldn't switch to softs was that they panicked and stopped too early to try and prevent an undercut from Verstappen. The fact Lewis pulled off an M > M > S strategy very nicely, Max and Russel did S > M > M and even poor Carlos managed to stretch to an M > M > S strategy despite being stopped too early by Ferrari being spooked by undercuts and ruining his mid/late race pace shows conclusively that it was completely possible.
Love how everyone is banging on about Ferrari putting the hards on when Mclaren made the same mistake 😂
And ruined danny rics race😢
shhhhhhhhh......... dont blow our cover, we have enough problems, allow it lmao
Because Ferrari are expected to perform at championship winning levels
mclaren werent racing for an EASY win.
because of ferrari consistantly make the wrong choices, and literally being in the fight for the championship. Mclaren fell off so no one cares about their strategy lmao
But they didn’t lose much because their direct competitor Alpine also did the same. Dany lost because he made a mistake.
The only logical reason which makes sense that I can figure is that FER believed that extending the medium stints wouldn't have worked because how fast the FER car uses up the tires (wrong or right who knows).
Also not starting on the softs could be a similar reason, they believe they would have used them up after only a few laps and could loose out big time if there was a safety car later where the opponents pitted.
In any case I think the safer strategy still would have been to try two long stints on Medium and one short stint on softs at the end of the race, perhaps also starting LEC on softs to try and overtake RUS and then two stints on medium.
I don't believe they panicked but rather tried overly hard to do a "safe" strategy with minimal risk which backfired more than they could imagine, they must have not realised just how bad the Hards were or perhaps though that their car could warm them up fast because how much they use tires in general, which was not the case in hindsight.
I also believe they should be more open with exactly how everything went wrong and not give excuses that nobody believes. // Sad Ferrari fan
It's not just the 2nd pitstop. The 1st one was a rash decision as well pitting Sainz to overcut Russell. If they had done exactly what Hamilton did, the sensible strategy for a medium tyre start, they could easily maintain position behind Russell and use the softs at the end to easily overtake him, if they hadn't already.
We need a podcast on the Alpine drama!!
You knew it was a bad stragtegy when Binotto full on left the pit wall to have a breather mid race, have a feeling he was pretty pissed after the tire change
Exactly my thoughts. It doesn't matter if they didn't carry extra medium. The problem is, they started on Mediums but the first and second stint was called into the pits so damn early. They are pitting on a soft windows instead of going longer (which is supposed to be their strategy) It's like when Red Bull pulled the trigger and the strategist for Ferrari got panicked for some reason and decided to do something else n go off course.
Pitting early on the mediums for the 1st stint is alrdy a mistake, but it is still recoverable and just have to stretch longer during the 2nd stint. It all came crashing down when Leclerc was called to box so dam early for the hards instead of stretching it longer and box for soft.
Also, Data information on the pit wall is clearly enough to show that hards are not the right call. (Each time I hear Binotto's post race interviews, he kept mentioning about the "data" illustrates their decision. so which data is he referring to for this race now, I wondered. Clearly it sounds troubling.)
Im not sure why they got called in so early when you start on a mediums and yet pitting in a soft window. Otherwise their strategy should be on mediums, mediums and soft. (Not really a feasible strategy but it's a show down for the final 10-15 laps when they switch to soft in the closing stages)
Exactly what I summarised from the consistent strategy f ups… they keep reacting to the others instead of just driving the most optimal strategy. This certainly wasn’t the first race this season they’ve ruined their race chasing undercuts and reactionary strategies
Non stop content from hard(tyre)working Matty
side note: I LOVED the porpoising effect on drivers helmet
this is so weird because I just watched matt screaming in the how it is to be a ferrari fan video and this is also about ferrari but his voice is so calm.🤣
I loved the part about the 360 spin from Max, it kind of made it look like he did it on purpose :P
2:25 is absolute gold 😂
Not to mention the 20+ laps on softs with Sainz
Matt very "exited" in this video 😂😂
Anyone heard Lewis asking Max and George (before heading onto podium) if Charles had hard tyres on while watching highlights? He sounded curious and yet wonder why that happened from his tone
I'm also asking questions about the strategy they adopted for Sainz too. They must have come down on the drivers for questioning the strategy recently, cuz Sainz has already shown he has a pretty great strategic awareness, it's quite strange he didn't save Ferrari from themselves this time.
Sainz and Hamilton were on the same strategy ...
@@AlcyonEldara Good point. Hamilton did 19M-32M-19S while Sainz did 17M-30M-23S according to F1 Chronicle. The extra laps on softs probably don't add up to that much lost time (+ different wear etc)
It is not panic. They could easily see others struggling on the hards. It is complete lack of understanding & or over confidence as you mentioned that earlier F2 race all were ok with softs. I was not Red Bull fan in particular till now but will remember this gift from Ferrari for many many years.
Ferrari are not a worthy Title winners not only in 2022 but also will struggle in 2023, thanks to Mercedes improving race by race (as every time mentioned by Matt) will certainly be a force to reckon with in 2023 & even could beat Red Bull.
1st time this season we saw Merc package faulting. I e. Drs issue on Hamilton car. It quite literally cost him the win here. Is this the start of Merc package breaking even more in 2nd half??
Gotta say, I was expecting a 3 second long video of Matt yelling "There was absolutely no f**king reason!"
1:06 that animation tho
Besides the garage errors, the last part I thought it was the more important: Leclerc needs to start contributing to the strategy and decisions. Something he could learn from Sainz.
Can't wait for the SPA Edition!
I think what happened is Ferrarri had the strategy of Medium Medium Soft. But then during the second Medium set of tyres he had to pit early. They didn't think that the Softs would make it to the end of the race, and it is required to have 2 tire compounds every race. So if the soft arent going to reach the finish line and you don't want to pit again, what do you put on? The Hards. They were probably thinking 1 stop with hards would be still better than 2 stops with softs. But actually they had to stop twice anyway so they got the worst of both worlds. So where did the mistake happen? I think the Medium Medium Soft prerace strategy was bad because it doesnt give any wiggle room for the third stop of tires. Better to start on Softs that you know you are going to swap out of in the middle of the race and then you could even try to finish on softs at the end if the driver can nurse the Mediums just a bit longer. Prerace Tire strategy is at fault here. So who is that on, certainly not the driver.
Max only made the spin to reassure himself, that Charles was really driving on hard tires.
I almost threw stuff around when I saw the white tire
Love the porpoising in the animations 😂
Lol, love the animations. Max spinning AND passing the Ferrari! Classic!
Where is Nikki lauda to yell at ferri? “All these facilities….”
I feel like this would have worked with juts Matt's face recording the audio for this lol
And what about Norris and McLaren? Why did they not bring Norris immediately in for new Mediums seeing that he's got no pace left in the softs while being challenged by HAM? They waited like 3 laps after HAM (and VER) overtook him before calling him in. WHY so late? He lost sooo much time.
Then, long pit stop... and then another question - why didn't they extend the Medium stint as long as possible to put on another pair of Mediums (or even softs?) at the end? Especially that there was a risk of a rain near the end.... and it was already seen that HARDS have no pace from other drivers... I just don't get it. Norris wasn't challenged by anyone at that time, they could manage the tires and or even ask RIC, who was quite a bit behind NOR at that time, to manage his pace as well to cover for NOR, and have more life in them for the last stint...
In the end, Norris would probably not be able to challenge RB nor Ferraris, nor Merc probably, but I think McLaren's strategy stripped them of the options in case of rain or issues of other drivers ahead.
they didnt HAVE to pit him again on the softs at the end. When he got the hard tire somewhat working the pace was probably ok to keep the position. That was actually another ferrari mistake none talks about because the first one was so crucial :D
The amount of plans that are made up before the race (A -Z), makes it harder to change and adapt if something occurs that doesn't fit a plan A, B, C or D.
Well said
I love that WTF1 on the side of the early Ferrari cars 🤣
Hey Charles - looks like there’s an open seat at Alpine …
I think medium start was actually a good call but yeah should have been medium/medium/soft
On the danish side, the commentators did talked about something with Leclerc only had one set of medium tires available for the race, which he started on. If it is true, I dont know. But it could be the reason for Ferrari to put him on a hard instead
Medium tires made some sense at least. Clearly they pulled that part off and were vindicated.
But the early pitting with the mediums was nuts, and then going for hard was of course absolute lunacy.
They had it in the bag, easily, with medium-medium-soft strategy with longer stints on the mediums.
I loved the 360 by Verstapen and eventual 2nd overtake with the best driver in F1 on hard tires. Maybe Ferrari will see your video and change?
Answer to your first question is simple; Ferrari were the only team of the top 3 not having any new softs left for the race. That forced them to start on the mediums. Like some team bosses said; Ferrari screwed their tire strategy far earlier in the weekend. It could have worked, but then they decided to pit with the mediums around the same laps as the soft runners. That blew their chances of making an alternative strategy (med-med-(used)soft) work. Although the undercut has always been strong in Hungary, so the soft-med-med was always to be likely to be the best strategy.
3:47 didnt tom predict that 🧐
Chuck (lol) is like Lewis in 07 at the Chinese gp where he trusted in the team rather than himself....wore the tires so badly he had no grip at the pit entry....I think after that lewis decided to trust himself more in the feel of the car
I remember Binotto saying at the start of the year that they were not thinking about winning the championship. He literally told us, what they're going to do....
They hard to because they didn't save a medium from Saturday. Also they pitted to early in the first stint.. so there last stint was to far for softs.
To be fair, the mediums worked out as Charles was miles ahead, the problem was not maximizing the mediums and then switching to the softs or inters (if required) at the end. Of course using those awful hards was the biggest blunder of all
I found hope with the engines because later you can work on their reliability but not on their power but with strategy amd Binotto saying he won't change anything I don't know where to look for hope...
The porpoising on the f1 models is a chad detail. Well done Matt.
This was a video where Matt's fan boy shows really well. As a ferrari and kimi fan since 2008 I know and feel his pain all too well but I'm a Ferrari fan first. The team will eventually get it together, I just hope its soon rather than later
