Ferrari's pit stop confusion at the Monaco GP
Ferrari had a flawless pre season and an impressive start to the season with Charles Leclerc winning the 2 of the first three races. This also included a 1-2 for the Italian giants in Bahrain, helping them to build a comfortable gap to their arch rivals, Red Bull. The Milton Keynes outfit has seemed to have shrugged off their disappointment after two DNFs in the first two races and bounced back to win 4 on the trot with the last one coming under dramatic circumstances.
The comeback from Red Bull started in Imola. The race was supposed to be a celebratory weekend for the Tifosi but Red Bull spoilt the party by securing a 1-2 in Ferrari’s backyard. Max Verstappen’s team hasn’t looked back from that as they launched an attack on Ferrari and slowly started to claw back all the advantage they had gained in the initial few exchanges.
Red Bull might have not had the pace in Monaco but they showed us how to get the job done. It needed a strategic masterclass from Christian Horner to snatch away the victory from Charles Leclerc, who looked in cruise control. The Milton Keynes team has put Ferrari under immense pressure which has forced them into making mistakes in crucial moments.
Ferrari has its work cut out after the debacle at the Monaco GP, according to Jeroen Bleekemolen
Jeroen Bleekemolen believes that Red Bull is the team in control of both the championships as Ferrari struggles to cope with the pressure. Speaking about Monaco, he said, “These are really difficult moments for the team. In the heat of the moment things can happen, it definitely needs to be talked about.”
“In normal circumstances this does not happen much, but because of Monaco it was a strange and separate strategy.”
“He hasn’t done anything wrong. He was performing optimally. He did very well and based on speed he really deserved to win. He must be disappointed that it did not go smoothly,” as reported by planetf1.
Monaco GP would have been a hard pill to swallow for both Charles Leclerc and Ferrari, keeping in mind their blistering pace over the weekend. But it’s not the time to cry over spilt milk. The Italian Giants need to bounce back quickly before it gets too late.
