Formula 1 in Silverstone: radio vortex at Ferrari

These Ferrari radio messages don’t sound like terrific concord…

Huge crowds within the queue in the front of the begin-end line just earlier than the stop of the first qualifying session. Because there was a hiatus, many drivers haven’t set a time yet. Then  the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz (28) passed that of Charles Leclerc (25).

Leclerc radios paradoxically: “Nice, Carlos, first-class. A great overtaking maneuver in the remaining corner.”

Bitter irony toward his teammate. But each were given via in the end.

Leclerc clarified in a media spherical after the consultation: “In the end, the time become tight and it wasn’t entirely clean whether or not we'd make it before the flag.” In order for you to set a time, drivers have to cross the start-finish line earlier than the time runs out. The cars were jostling, there was some overtaking in the queue of cars awaiting the proper timing to move the start-finish line on the best moment. Big rush and chaos! Time strain for Sainz to set a time quick.

The Monegasse describes the state of affairs that induced the radio message: “Then Carlos overtook. That’s now not best. We’ll speak about it. But ultimately it had no effect. The radio message in all likelihood sounded a piece harsher than it must were.”

Sainz: “Charles had precedence this weekend.” Ferrari has a rule that, depending at the weekend, one or the other driver can determine whether or not he wants to power in the front of or behind the alternative. It was Leclerc’s flip at Silverstone, looking to power first.

Confusing: Despite the settlement, Ferrari needed to change the positions of the cars twice within the pit lane. This is due to the fact Leclerc’s container is behind Sainz’s within the route of journey of the pit lane – so that they automatically come out inside the reverse order than agreed.

In another Ferrari radio message, Sainz appears especially frustrated: “It’s a bit unfair what you’re asking of me here. Sacrificing my tire temp. I’m greater at risk. I’m fourth, he’s 0.33.” He’s within the pitlane whilst he hears this radio message.

Sainz later: “No, I wasn’t disillusioned. It become only a second of extremely good pressure because I hadn’t set a lap yet. At one factor I needed to go and do a lap.”

Seems like the Reds must sit down together this night and paintings via Saturday…
