Australia GP: Ferrari explained the reason for leaving Luis Hamilton, Charles Licork on the spot tires in the late Melbourne Ryan Drama | F1 news

Ferrari coach Farid Vaswar says that the team simply “the wrong call”, as he explained the reason for keeping Luis Hamilton and Charles Licerk to keep the tires longer than their competitors in the late stages of rain in the Australian Grand Prix.

Leclerc and Hamilton were ranked sixth and eighth in a row when rain began in the big late stage in hitting parts of the Albert Park path with 13 rolls.

The pioneers of McCares ran on the path – with Oscar Biastry and then rotated completely – at the end of the 44 lamp, which was enough for the leader of the Lando Norris race to go directly to the hole and change to the middle tires.

Max Verstapen inherited the lead by staying out, but then, with the condensation of the rain and with the world champion to TIPTOE around the path, called him Red Bull to change the tires after that.

Nevertheless, Ferrari kept their drivers for a longer period of time to 47, and at a time when the safety car was called for the presence of Gabriel Portolo (SLICKS).

By that time, Hamilton and Leclerc, who had woven in the 44 lap, was ranked second and third in the waiting list behind Norus Mediterranean. But although the acquired path is placed, Ferrari decided that the circumstances mean that they had no choice but the hole for the brokers as well before restarting the race, a step that brought down drivers to the ninth and tenth.

But why is gambling in the first place?

“It was a strange position because the first sector and two were still Javin and the third sector was completely wet and a kind of bet I think Red Ball and we are betting on the fact that we had to stay on the right track and wait for the last part of the race with Slicks.”

“When Mercedes and McLaren are, but McLaren is also because they came out that they had incited two girls before.

“We made the wrong call because I think the best option is to incite the same roll like Max and we have contacted at this stage.”

Did Ferrari keep their drivers know enough about the rain?

After joining the path in the ninth place, Hamilton said on the team’s radio to the new race engineer Ricardo Adam

Nevertheless, Leclerc heard by the race engineer about the arrival of the “third -class” imminent rain.

In response to a question about the clear, conflicting messages between the two cars, Vasour said: “Yes, but this is very difficult that we do not have a rainy sensor, this means that it is more feeling, it is what we can see on the screen, and what we can have on the radar, it is true from the corner to the corner.

“I think we are all amazed at the amount of rain at this stage of the race, McLaren first, and now we discussed to stay on the right track with SLICKS and survive, but it was the wrong call.”
