Ferrari praised for “calmness” and “less chaos” with strategy despite McLaren defeat
Despite losing out to McLaren in 🍨China, Ferrari's strategy team has been praised f♈or their "calmness".
Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chan♐dhok has praised Ferrari for their “calmness” on the pit wall when making strategy decisions despite their defeat to McLaren in China.
Ferrari came away from Shanghai with fourth and fifth, finishing behind the two Red Bulls and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, who drove a spectacular race to split 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.
Heading into the weekend, Ferrari were tipped to hold the advantage over McLaren given the Woking outfit’s weakness i🌌n low-speed, traction zones.
🍬However, it didn’t play out that way as Norris finished well clear of the best Ferrari on Sunday.
Still, Ferrari maintained their impressive start to the year with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz finishing all five races inside the top five.
Reflecting on Ferrari’s weekend in China, Chandhok was impressed wit𝕴h how the 🔯team fared on the pit wall while explaining that their performance in China is unlikely going to be a common trend.
“There is a calmness,” he 🌃said. “There seems to be less chaos with strategy.
“We have to be careful with this track, it is an outli💮er in terms of the layout and how the tyres are used, and the energy on the front axle rather than the rear.
“It is a weird track, trying to read the form gu☂ide. So I think they’ll ta𝕴ke fourth and fifth.”
Since the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel days, strategy has been something Ferrari have str💧uggled w♓ith.
Particularly, their confusing communicatꩲion between race𝔉 engineer and driver.
But un🌞der Frederi🐬c Vasseur’s leadership, things seem to have improved, highlighted by their consistent run of results.
1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill believes the battle between Ferrari and McLaren will continue ꦛto be “tight” for the rest of the season.
“A lot was made of Charles’ run in Suzuka,” he added. “But he was in a gap in clean air. You can eke out a ꧃good result if you qualify well and do one stop when everyone else does two.
“If you’re in a race, you need a car with an advantage. In [today’s🅘] race they weren’t a🐓s good as the McLaren in the hands of Lando. So they are about the same, it will be tight between these two.”
