How close was Ferrari of having to watch his two cars get into an accident. That they had it in Monaco. That they had it… in Free Practice 2 in Monaco. Yes, because in the second rehearsal session, and with Carlos Sainz fast lap, charles leclerc It was right in the middle of the line and luckily the man from Madrid braked in time.
Good thing he did. Good thing he got up. Because, for some reason that cannot be understood, he found Leclerc head-on. He found his own teammate right in front of him. Yes, who knows if there was a notice from Ferrari or not, but seeing how it all went…
Seeing how it was normally it is not. Because if that had been the case, Leclerc would not have been where he was and Sainz would have been warned. In Monaco, things like this don’t exactly come cheap…
Because in Monaco everything is much narrower. Because here overtaking is complicated. And because everything that is to have a bad saturday It is equivalent, unless miraculous, to having a bad Sunday.
Fernando Alonso, for example, you know. He knows it and that’s why the tremendous anger that he showed on the radio when the same thing happened to Sainz. When he saw Sergio Pérez on a slow lap when he was going for time.
But the Ferrari thing… The Ferrari thing happened between the two drivers from the same team. And if it hadn’t been for Sainz’s speed to lift the foot to know what would have happened.
Carlos was the fastest in the first Free Practice session, with a car that, as always, is perfect in short runs.
