Ferrari, we have a problem: perfect with Sainz, still wrong with Leclerc

Why? Why? It makes you wonder even knowing you won't get any answers. There Ferrari he leaves Austin with a podium and six points in the Constructors' Championship at Mercedes. In short, all things considered, it was an almost triumphal trip to the Stars and Stripes, it's all about sifting through the folds of a team that seems to enjoy getting messed up and prone to bizarre thoughts when it comes to Leclerc.

The Red has two faces that do not reconcile, but clash. Carlos Sainz it is the Apollonian and seraphic image of a team that has learned to maximize the potential of the SF23 and do things the right way. A good start, a good pace, a good strategy. It is the sublimation ofmediocritas aura of the ancient Romans, where mediocritas represents balance and not mediocrity, let's clarify.

Sainz is the splendid long distance rider expertly led by the hand by Ferrari to fourth place, then third after the intervention of the judges. With Carlos, things always work out one way or another. His races are linear, positive, and in fact these results allow him to have twenty points more in the standings than Charles Leclerc.

Yes, Leclerc. Why? What leads Maranello to poison the races for the driver who starts on pole? What stops this team from managing a normal match with Charles without putting him in embarrassing conditions, in whimsical situations and beyond logic?

It was enough to observe what was happening on the track to realize two things: making just one pit stop was impossible and the new tire made a lot.

Nonetheless, the Red team decided to wear Leclerc down by asking him for a real test of ability to stay on a single stop. Hard tires and pedaling, going slowly so as not to ruin them and going slowly when they were worn out. It's crazy.

And it makes you think that Sainz who started from behind, running with a strategic strategy rather than a bizarre one, arrived in Charles' exhaust, signaling him with his high beams to pass.

The relative team order was discounted resulting in the Monegasque's bad mood. Evidently tired of one-way errors. Austin, we have a problem: how can you manage Leclerc so badly?
