Ferrari had a disappointing performance at the Dutch Grand Prix due to its mistakes, frustrations and lack of pace.
Leclerc lost time in his first pit stop due to the late arrival of tyres, and his car's performance was significantly reduced after a front wing piece got stuck in its floor. These problems forced Leclerc to retire on lap 41.
Sainz had a relatively good race, climbing up to third place for a while, but couldn't resist Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly, who were faster than him, and finished in fifth place.
Ferrari's performance was a big disappointment in Italy. "Their performances this weekend have been pretty inconsistent," Damon Hill told Sky Sports. They could not stop the car while entering the first corner, the drivers were not satisfied with the handling, Charles crashed, they could not be present in the race. It's not good at all before the race in your own home." used his statements.
Bernie Collins, Sky's strategy analyst and former Aston Martin chief of strategy, thinks Sainz's fifth place is due to the mistakes of others. “Obviously fifth place isn't a bad result for Carlos, but maybe he took advantage of the others' mistakes. Almost all the teams thought they were too late to pit.” said.
Regarding Leclerc's performance, Collins said, “It looked like Leclerc was having a really bad day. Yes, his sole was damaged, but before that he had a terrible qualifying session in volatile conditions.” used his statements.
Ferrari will have to make a great effort to make up for this performance at the Monza Grand Prix, which will be held at home.
