Ferrari really dropped all the balls this weekend. Sainz has been in the way of other drivers repeatedly, which falls on his engineer who should let him know when cars are coming. In rainy conditions the drivers can’t see jack nothing in their mirrors and it’s like Sainz was just left to his own devices by his engineer.

Honorable mention for Tsunoda doing his best mobile roadblock impression. Holy heck he was constantly in the way this weekend.

Then there is poor Leclerc. He asked for slicks, and his team overruled him and it caused him to be eliminated in Q2. How much longer can he stomach Ferrari incompetence before he starts putting feelers out for a drive elsewhere? As things are going at the Ferrari strategy desk it’s clear the prancing horse has bolted the barn and his chances of getting a championship is in the low zeros.

    We were debating this today. Who do you promote? Yuki perhaps?

    I feel like the succession plan for Merc and Ferrari have more options than RBR for a Max pairing

        I think it would be too harsh too judge a driver’s character based on team radios alone. Yuki has done nothing outside the car to even hint that he is a volatile person

          I meant volatile in the car, you are emtirely correct that his outside the car personality seems as mellow as they come.

        Wonder if he’d want another chance, after kinda distancing himself from RBRs program. I think he’s driving super well and would do a lot better now than last time
