“We are just a fast Williams,” Tifosi cut apart into Ferrari after another tactical blunder in Hungary

Ferrari persists in making poor strategic decisions. The team brought Charles Leclerc to the pits during the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix from the lead for the divisive hard tyres, which had already shown to be challenging to control during the race. As a result, the Monacan driver who appeared to be racing to victory at one point but instead placed sixth.

Tifosi attacked the Italian team’s social media accounts following the Hungarian Grand Prix, demanding to understand the reasons behind yet another poor strategy. Fans are especially enraged for their beloved Charles Leclerc who has been a consistent victim of Ferrari’s tactical blunders.

Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto believes the team lost the Hungarian Grand Prix due to a lack of speed rather than a strategy error. On-track, Charles Leclerc passed Mercedes driver George Russell to take the lead. On lap 39, he made his second pit stop and changed to hard tyres. His race quickly devolved from there. Leclerc failed to keep Max Verstappen at bay and was forced to jettison his hard tyres and make a third pit stop for a set of softs, finishing sixth.

The team looked strong on Friday, when they practised in much hotter climates. Binotto also mentioned how the F1-75 wasn’t running how it was expected to at Budapest on Sunday. Here’s how the Tifosi are reacting on Twitter:

I think we should accept that ferrari is just not a winning team anymore. We're a fast Williams,a team with great history but is incapable of fighting the big teams.Still love this team, but I feel like it'll be much less stressful if we dont expect them to mount title challenges

Swapping to hard compound tyres at Leclerc’s second pit stop exacerbated their issues, according to Binotto. The team anticipated that Leclerc would have a brief performance decline on the hard but would soon be in a stronger place than Verstappen, who was operating on mediums.
