    That was a difficult weekend for Ferrari. Sainz out of the race on lap one and Leclerc in the barrier and recovering to only 6th position. So, what exactly happened to both drivers and what does it mean in the title fight?
    First up Sainz. He had his off in qualifying, ending up in the wall in Rivazza in Q2. He tried to carry a bit too much speed into the corner, having turned in on the kerb, which was likely a little damp, and the rear of his car didn’t want to stick.
    This was another mistake by Sainz, which cannot have done his confidence much good. Being able to predict what a car will do is so important to a driver, and when it doesn’t grip when you expect it to, it makes you drive a little bit below the limit, and therefore slower.
    Now, I’m not 100% on whether this spin was due to the kerb being damp or Carlos not predicting the balance of the Ferrari properly - either way the result was the same.
    Sainz then went on to have a good drive in the sprint, getting back up to 4th. However, his start for the Sunday race wasn’t great, getting overtaken by Norris and then being in a position where he was wheel to wheel with Ricciardo.
    Riccardo was ahead going down to turn one, but Sainz was much more confident on the brakes - which you can often be when you’re on the outside (this is where a little lockup or a bit too much speed won’t cause too much of an issue, like it might if you’re on the inside of another car).

    Having made this error, I would expect him to drive with more self discipline in the next few races. And one of those races is Monaco, an error there will cost him a lot more than 7 points.
    Maybe the Imola spin will save him from the Monaco barriers.

    I think the weakness is the straight line speed in comparison to RB. Nowadays the DRS is pretty much all the overtakes that we get, and the little better straights speed of the RB makes these overtakes really easy for them. It's all reversed for Ferrari when they have to overtake an RB car. This means that if their weekend doesn't go perfectly, with pole position and perfect start, things get really hard for them in the direct battle that we have at the moment.

    Charles lost 8 points not 7. Granted I am assuming they made the right strat call by pitting for softs with 2 laps to go (continuing with the medium intil lap 61) and then having a warm up lap and fast lap on the softs, where he gets the fastest lap of the race and the extra point for it totalli 16 points.
    pitting in the penultimate lap means max can't pit to contest the fastest lap.

    This is why I like drivers like Leclerc and Verstappen more than Hamilton.. They take the risk and don't settle for P3 when a better position is up for grabs.. Max did it in the sprintrace and Charles did it in the GP.. Charles made a mistake though, same as Max used to do in his earlier years.. It's to be seen if Charles can iron out those mistakes like Max did.. He needs to if he want to beat Max in the championship as Max is just so enormously consistent on a very high level these days.. If Max's car doesn't brake down or he gets taken out he always finishes top 2, since the beginning of last year.. it's what finally broke the Mercedes and Hamilton reign.. Can Ferrari and Leclerc be on the same level all season? That will be the deciding factor this year..

    I see a mistake from Leclerc, not necessarily a weakness. Ferrari will recover from this. One cannot possibly expect them to be near perfect every weekend. Not even Mercedes in their prime were that consistently perfect. Red Bull took a big gamble bringing in big upgrades for this race and it paid off. Now Ferrari will bring in big upgrades at Miami and we will see if Red Bull can maintain their 1-2 like this weekend. Personally, I enjoyed Bahrain and Jeddah a lot more than Australia and Imola for obvious reasons.

    Opinion on Carlos's slide into the gravel? When Magnussen made a mistake, he was smart to push the gas to make sure he gets out of the gravel. Also Leclerc gave a lite bit of gas before hitting barrier to make sure the car hits the wall in the correct position. Meanwhile Carlos just slammed on the brakes, and the car was already stuck before he even pressed the gas, maybe he should have kept rolling or steered somewhere?

    @phillgizmo8934 Před 2 lety

    Would you like to make such analysis about mistakes Sainz did when in gravel that made his car dig in deeper. Basically this knowledge is more common for offroad driving, but knowing those physics by F1 drivers can make a difference between "out" and "losing position". It was a very good example this Sunday: Sainz is rolling backwards on gravel without brakes, I thought "oh yes he learnt something", but then he brakes and it makes his tyres dig in instantly. I agree that first gear may not be low enough and the clutch not soft on a track bolides. It is a low end torque in offroad engines and a hydro torque converter that allow good control on muddy surfaces, but a proper driving technique is still above those tech features.

    Daniel didn't slid wide, he's car slipped down from the wet high curb into Sainz which was very unfortunate (can be seen only from Bottas's car). He couldn't have predicted that. Plus, Leclerc took that curb exact same way in FP1 and didn't have a problem (he spun in the second part of the corner in FP1), so we can say that it was just a bit of unfortunate. Love your work as a whole though. Cheers from Slovenia!

      He pitted on lap 54/63, so 9 laps remaining. Russell was 3.5 seconds behind him, and Bottas 5.2 seconds. The commentators said it seemed like Charles was having difficulty turning left after the spin, so he could have easily been losing at least 1 second per lap with that damaged front wing. If he had more than a 10-second gap to the car behind him, I think he could've finished P4 without pitting, but the gap was too close. I think he would've finished P6 behind Russell and Bottas regardless of whether he pitted or not.
