Ferrari’s explanation for the order not to let Sainz overtake Leclerc It doesn’t turn out to be convincing. In Ferrari are satisfied with their improvements with the car in Austriaand to achieve with charles leclerc the best result of the season with his second place.
However, the Italian media are conscious that they could have a double on the podium if they had let Carlos Sainz compete with Leclerc when the man from Madrid had a higher rhythm. The double stop ended up condemning a Carlos Sainz which was once again sacrificed for those of Maranello.
In the Italian edition of ‘Motorsport’, expert Franco Nugnes points out that “the configuration in it The Monegasque SF-23 was not ideal for the conditions slippery asphalt“.
“Leclerc, much more than Carlos SainzyouHe had serious difficulties controlling a very nervous car and unable to reach tire temperature,” he adds.
Nugnes believes that Sainz is superior to Leclerc “finding the balance” of the single-seater, and that the Monegasque “look for more extreme solutions”.
Despite everything, Nugnes thinks that Ferrari should “strike a balance appropriate so as not to distort the driving style of one over the othertaking into account the indications of Prince‘ (Leclerc), which is considered the best pilot for all intents and purposes“.
The idea pointed out by Franco Nugnes does not coincide with the opinion of Jaime Alguersuariwho in ‘El Chiringuito’ explained that “Carlos Sainz in the race is better than Leclerc“. Somehow, the classification reveals which approach is being the most effective after nine races.
