Thanks to this year, I think people will respect Vettel more for his run with Ferrari. This is Charles' first attempt at a serious championship battle. Vettel tried this with them for years. So many strategy mistakes, long pit stops, reliability problems.. The guy basically did his own strategy while driving the car at one point. Imagine dealing with that for years, imagine the pressure he had on his shoulders. We know Ferrari is terrible at taking pressure off of their drivers, for example Mercedes does this really well. I feel for Leclerc. He already signed his future with this hellhole of a team. But their internal politics and their "Italian pride" won't help them. They had Alonso and Vettel with them, ruined their career basically. If you cannot win a championship with 2 great champions for all those years, I think you should seek the blame in yourself. I hope things go different for Charles, but to be honest, I'm not keeping my hopes up..
Yeah mate. This season is already done. After Baku there's 5 straight races where the Honda engine will win the races for them. Championship over before the summer break, so essentially a significantly worse performance than 2018 already. It's time to stop supporting this clown show mate.
@@jaybajan a driver fighting for midfield and getting a lot of q3 with green truck? if someone with fast car consistently getting beaten up from his teammates can be called as a goat, then how should i call vettel then?
Thank you. God damn, I've been a Ferrari fan for 15 years. I was screaming at the screen yesterday, "what the hell are you doing???? Is Sainz the only one with a brain in that team??" Seriously, this happens way too often, what the hell are Ferrari's strategists doing?
I prepared myself for the reality of Ferrari bottling like this time ago, and the moment I saw Binotto flip flopping about with concern over the rain, whilst Horner remained relatively relaxed, I knew they were gonna stuff it. TP's always have that look on them when you know they have no idea what to do, Wolff and even Horner also had that disposition last year at points. Anyway, I was prepared and when it unfolded, I was disappointed but not mad.
I’m not a fan of Red Bull but they do seem to be much better at “thinking on their feet” during races. On numerous occasions, other teams have looked clumsy in comparison.
You'd think they have scenarios worked out for situations like these. "If rain comes, we do [this] if the gap to the midfield is > [X seconds]". Also, especially in rainy conditions, the driver has so much information about how the tyres are working out. Just tell them how much faster the others are on inters and ask if they can hold out for another X laps to switch to slicks.
Red Bull have had the best strategists even since before the Vettel era. They're just on another level compared to everyone else. It's annoying to see how quick and efficient they are as a non-Red Bull fan and that my own team can't seem to keep up lol.
We seen ferrari flop when in comes to developments, wouldn't be that surprised. If you are to win this championship you probably need to be your own strategist as seen by sainz and consistently russel
Yes, I remember the hype of everyone saying Ferrari was fully back and firing on all cylinders coming into this season and tbf, it looked like they had coming into the season but truly, I was never convinced that Ferrari could be able to match the development and strategic work rate and weight of RBR, idk, everyone makes mistakes, even Ferrari, perhaps they will be able to turn it around and get it in gear but I am not too convinced if I am honest.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Well in fairness Ferrari's development has been good, back to the fastest car since Spain. The only issue is, a reliability issue in Spain and then that half brain strategy in Monaco. So once again, strategy is the issue at Ferrari.
Ferarri strategy has been shit for years though. In the 2019 rocket engine season their strategy calls were also often terrible. Such a shame for Charles because it would have been a easy win
In all of this, it's beatiful that Sainz is getting a lot of hate from the Italian 'Malati di Tifo' for not having done his job as no. 2 driver and for not having let the strategists fuck him properly. Maybe it tells something about sportsmanship in Italy, and reminds me why I don't cheer for Ferrari, regardless of the drivers' quality.
The astonishing thing is none of very few of the teams seemed to have learned the lessons of 2016 (six years ago) when Hamilton played stay out on Full Wets untilI I need dry tyres game to perfection . I wonder why so many were reluctant to repeat this strategy? After all track position is king at Monaco. Monaco is the one place where you can go from Full Wet to Dry tyres and actually gain an advantage. Charles needs a race engineer that will pacify him rather than one that panics themselves.
maybe because RB threatening them? look at how close SF and RBR at the end of the race. 4 of them is nose to tail with each other. If they stay out and go straight wet, considering how fast RBR with inter, i think they still gonna lose the track position when they pit for the slick
@@TheSt1092 yeah but at that time, slick is not faster than inter yet, and perez already using inter and closing in like 2 second each lap. It’s hard to response to that, and i think sainz should be the one responding the RBR and hold perez to secure leclerc lead yet he refuse. Thats what happen when there is no team order.
exactly my thought. At most, staying out would risk sainz losing track position to an overcut (which actually happened thanks to latifi) But leclerc was in no way in danger to that, since the gap to sainz was 5 sec, and an overcut with inters does not lose you that much. So leclerc was ultra safe, making the decision to give him inters 2 rounds later due to some good laps from perez even more dubios
You have to remember Hamilton was massively helped by Reb Bull messing up Ricciardo's pit stop by not having the tyres ready. Hamilton only just came out in front of him after that delay, if the pit stop had been reasonable Ricciardo would have been comfortably in the lead. But in this race Leclerc would have retained the lead if he'd stayed out on wets and had gone straight to slicks.
Race pace and qualifying pace are 2 different things. the 2013 Mercedes was a monster in qualifying, 8/19 poles that season, but it's race pace was only good enough for the 4th fastest car on the grid. Ferrari have the same problem this season, the car is the fastest in qualifying, but in race pace falls behind Red Bull by some margin
@@ey7290 As much as Red Bull had great pace advantage in Imola and Miami I think Ferrari had the best car on sundays for both of the previous two races
When season started with Red Bull reliability issues, I knew there was nothing to worry about. Because one thing you can ALLWAYS expect is Ferrari strategy mistakes.
Same. Even after Quali I knew if one team on the grid is able to throw away a front row lockout on the most narrow circuit with near to no overtake opportunities it's Ferrari
Yeah you are right, however I was worried that the season was over for Red Bull. To think about it now Ferrari has the faster car over red bull en yet they are behind in both championships, which is not wat you expected if you look at dnf's but that is calculated outside Ferrari's stupidity to throw away a front row lockout this season. Which is not a first this season
Ferrari threw away Leclerc's chances, not Sainz, Sainz lost because lapped cars weren't adhering to blue flags which cost him the undercut. If Ferrari listened to Sainz they would have easily had a 1-2 finish
Leclerc was also stuck behind Albon for a full lap while Albon was getting blue flags. Doesn't seem to be getting mentioned anywhere and didn't come up on the broadcast due to Monaco's excellent tv direction...
They were adhering but in Monacao you can't just move over anywhere. The back markers are still racing too, so they move over when safe. Joe from Alpha tried to take advantage of this and work on a pass while back markers let the front through later in the race. Monaco is just a terrible track and needs to be removed, I don't care about the millionaires and their parties.
Just Latifi being Latifi. I usually don't have any issues with him but when he starts effecting the people actually racing then it starts to become a problem.
At this point I am absolutely 100% certain that Ferrari are going to win the championship this year. The problem is it seems they're going to win it for Red Bull.
I've been a Ferrari fan since I became an F1 fan, but how they handled their mistake in strategy really left a bad taste in my mouth. Own your mistake damn it, don't try hiding behind a grey area in the rules and steal a win from another driver and team that deserved the win fair and square.
there were two tyres that crossed the pit lane line, i don't know how people can say that it didn't cross. if lando did the same thing as max he would have finished 5th..
@@vetonmorina7990 oh lord. Don't be a cry baby. Just admit it Ferrari fucked up big time at Monaco, accept it and move on to focus on the next race. Ferrari have the potential to win this year.
@@debendragurung3033i wanna know they fucked up but i*m not crying i'm telling facts.. I wanted to see if max did not cross the line if leclerc could have passed him..
This is the same thing that happened when they were fighting Merc in 2017/18 they made some absolute howlers when it came to strategy! Ferrari need to get it together because you'd expect Merc to catch up sooner rather than later & they'll need a buffer when they do! I just hope RB don't run away with it because this could be a very exciting season!
@@summerlove7779 he can say whatever he wants. But they are so far off the pace. They’ll need to develop their car so much more than RedBull and Ferrari, I don’t think that’s possible with the budget cap and the inflation. RedBull was always very strong in the development race and Ferrari showed that what they brought worked well (fixing one of their main problems from the previous era).
@@summerlove7779 It really doesn't matter what George thinks. Mercedes is still way off the pace of RB and Ferrari. They can definitely be a comfortable 5th a 6th but they won't get much higher unless something happens to a RB or Ferrari. Mercedes' just doesn't have the pace this year and although they might improve with upgrades, so will RB and Ferrari.
@Summer Love Mercedes is clearly the best of the midfield. At times they've had the pace to keep up with the leaders, but the only way they're getting on the podium is when RB or Ferrari DNFs.
It was a catastrophic race, it seems they have no good tacticians and the drivers don't trust them, otherwise they wouldn't have to make the tactic themselves.
@Dacia Sandero guys I think, its a lack of professionalism, it was a ferrari issue in the past and probably is now. They are loved one way or the other, so why put in the extra hours.
Ferrari is like a midfield team which got his hands on a championship winning car, and now they have now idea how to turn this potential into actual results
I think it would exactly be the midfield teams that would know what to do. Feel like teams that are running in front for years have gone cold with this sort of thing. Mercedes-AMG made quite a bit of boo-boos in calls themselves last season and before that. However, Ferrari is different. I feel like they should start employing personnel based on their capabilities and expertise, not their nationality and who can sing the Italian anthem the loudest.
@@paultruesdale7680 Sh*t happens for that team for the last 15 years. Being the most successful team (ever and also in the last 14 years) that hasn't won anything (even with some zainy means) doesn't mean much. They can't keep throwing races like that - every point matters and at the end of the season it won't matter when they were lost. Red Bull ain't gonna mess about.
What made me realize that Ferrari is terrible at race strategies is when Sainz was telling the pit wall what to expect and do so they wouldn’t F up his race.
Sainz's communication and decision messed up Leclerc's pit timing and set it back 1 lap. losing him crucial placement on a track where placement is everything. Because they needed to quickly reconsider strategy based off Sainz's demands. It would have gone smoother if everyone fell in line like Red bull did. Going straight to slicks wasn't the best option either as it cost Sainz 1 spot, placing him behind the man he was in front of. Ferrari should have done just like red bull did when seeing Ferrari pit for Hards. Immediately pit for the same tires, not wait and fuss around losing crucial time.
@@brandonhoffman4712 Exactly Sainz is also to blame here rather than being praised, his argument with his engineer to pit or not prevented Leclerc from pitting one lap earlier which could've put him ahead of perez
@@q_rkmghow7083 it wasnt about being subservient, sainz was arguing to not pit despite being told to and the team was not sure whether he would pit or not, so they kept leclerc out and perez caught up and surpassed him as he pitted for the wets earlier, If Sainz had pitted for wets when he was told then none of this would've happened, and the worst part is he was losing time to the red bulls on wets, he was ahead of perez and should've been till the end but his "strategy" lost time to perez, even without Latifi ahead
@@tunisiandom9318 If the pit wall crew are making so many mistakes and can't keep there head cool, it will reflect to the drivers. If they are making more errors at Ferrari, Charles and Carlos will also going to break, unfortunately :(. I want to see them battling with RB till the end of the season.
@@tunisiandom9318 Seriously, as if other teams don't make mistakes. Last year, Red Bull had a 11 second pit stop in Monza, while Max was fighting for the championship. This year Max had 2 dnfs and a non functioning drs. Charles made 1 mistake in Imola but other than that, he is doing great, unlike Vettel who spun in every race.
@@tunisiandom9318 The fact that Vettel spun on some races, especially from 2018 onwards, doesn't take away from the fact that the Ferrari strategists often looked totally amateurish. And they still do for the most part.
How is the most historic and easily most valuable team in F1 constantly plagued by these rookie level strategy errors... it makes no sense, like sure, you're going to get it wrong some times, but we never hear about a "Ferrari strategy masterstroke". Their strategic incompetence screwed over Seb/Kimi and I guess now it's Charles/Carlos turn.
It makes a lot of sense. Historic, in the context of the Ferrari F1 teams, means arrogant and complacent. Value, well that means the FIA has been shovelling them cash above what they pay even Merc and Red Bull, for decades, despite their demonstrable lack of results.
If they stop development like 2018 , I will cry... Weak aero , weak tyres , weak strategies and somehow it will all come down to Leclerc and not Ferrari
@@reinardish problem is, this is Ferrari we're talking about. They will make the same mistake 5 times per season, and then make it 5 times again next season. I've seen this time, and time again with them. The only years they were on top of things is when Brawn, and Todt were calling the shots.
@@emir.e99 yeah and they still lost. I mean 2007 was pure luck and they only won because of mcmerc implosion. And 2008 they lost despite having a faster car.... The fuel rig Singapore incidence being the very low of all the lows of that season
Ferrari seem to have a knack for blundering pitstops at crucial points in a race. The worst example was its pitstop blunder in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2010 which cost Fernando Alonso the World Championship.
How these fucktards stopped Nando from winning 2 championships in that tractor and forever silencing the haters is beyond me. Error after error after error. On top of making a tractor. Nando was robbed of 3 WDCs. It's unacceptable. And by the way I hated Nando before because of my love for Schumi. But in 10 and 12 man proved beyond all doubt that he is one of the greatest ever. Supporting Ferrari is the hardest thing any sports fan can do
As much as we love and admire Ferrari, this is sadly typical, and without surprise. Ferrari need to loose the drama, and the café Latte (foam/froth on top) mentality once and for all, before this rare opportunity slips through their fingers again.
I don't love Ferrari. How can you love Ferrari when they are so incompetent that they sabotage their best driver's chance at a WDC? It is INSANE. They need to reign in Saintz (or replace him), establish a team order, and get their shit together! Time is running out. Fucking disgrace to racing.
"Love and admire..." No, it's quite the opposite. Ferrari has all the resources in the world.... and the most corrupt, incompetent management imaginable. I hold them in sneering contempt as a perfect example of how ego, arrogance, cronyism, and blundering stupidity all seem to go hand in hand. They are a SAD FAILURE as a racing team, and a disaster from a marketing POV.
Ferrari had already lost a star driver due continuously messing out their strategy. They desperately need to overhaul their strategy department if they want to truly fight for the titles.
I'm sorry to say this, but Ferrari needs some people on the pitwall who speak proper English and know how to communicate efficiently. I can't even count how many times we've seen misunderstandings between the pitwall and drivers at Ferrari.....
The only good Ferrari strategist in Monaco was Sainz himself. He decided changing directly to slicks was better than what Ferrari initially planned. And it proved to be effective, he was really close this time to victory, but Checo did an amazing, flawless race and he won. Really sorry for Leclerc, he had to suffer the consequences of Ferrari's poor handling of pit stops, he was believing in the team's plan and they screwed it. I hope Ferrari learns from the big mistakes they made with the strategy and pit stop timing, they have to improve that, you can't do this and win a championship. Ferrari has the car and the drivers, but if they lack thinking they're gonna be easily beaten by Red Bull. If Ferrari really wants to win the championship they need to correct those issues
Checo drove a great race but he actually got extremely lucky with his race win. If Latifi had listened to blue flags Sainz would have come out ahead after Perez' pit and won the race. Still a fantastic drive by Checo and deserved win.
Leclerc wanted slicks too, not just Sainz. He wanted to stay out a bit longer and go straight to slicks. Unfortunately he trusted the strategists unlike Sainz who didn't. I don't think our drivers should have to be thinking of strategy so much tho in a race.
@@lebzgold7475 "Unfortunately he trusted the strategist" This is so ferrari lol... But yeah, to be fair, being in 1st place Trusting the strategist probably the best bet since they have more data than the driver (Like what we have seen Lando in Russia)
@@lebzgold7475 Yeah, it's the team's duty to make the perfect strategies. It's good if the drivers are also able to adapt and come up with strategies themselves, but better if the team does, so the drivers can just focus on their driving
Only Ferrari would turn a 1-2 at Monaco into defeat. Goodness me, this Championship battle is over. Red Bull will run away with BOTH Championships. In fact the title battle is trending towards becoming Perez vs Verstappen at this point. They've won the last 4 Races between them including a 1-2 and two 1-3 Finishes...Leclerc has scored 5/7 Poles..but Red Bull has won 5/7 of the races..Writing is already on the wall for the Scuderia. They have the driver..they have the car but the rest of the team is being found out
Nice one Edd... always a pleasure hearing your Dulcit tones in giving explanations over race nuances and mistakes not to forget victorious stories also ... Well done Sir , you should get an award for your concise and thorough explantions
That's because Merc has the strategy down to a T and redbull has stupidly good team coordination. I've got the feeling Max was sort of waiting for the master🅱️lan to go into full effect.
I feel bad for all the engineers and scientists who designed an absolutely fantastic 2022 car for Ferrari. They deserve better than having their work squandered by terrible strategists and communication.
Checo ran a great race and kept focused. He earned that race even though Ferrari made blunders that cost Charles his 1st place position. This just shows that this truly is a team sport and not just about the driver who wins and gets all the glory.
Unrelated to the video I would just like to say that Edd you are a very good narrator. Well paced and not monotone. Keep up the good work. Also great report as always
I know that this is their first major strategy mess-up, but I wouldn't put it past the Ferrari drivers to think that their own strategist will be against them from now on.
Yesterday felt like a flashback to the Vettel era ferrari strategy crew (2018-2020 especially). And not even that. The Stewards blamed Ferrari for the impeding incidents with sainz, because they gave him wrong informations over team radio? why do f1 teams not use spotters at such tight tracks for practice and quali? But a team, who makes such mistakes is not really championship worthy. red bull don't make such mistakes. If perez manages to outrace leclerc once or twice he will be ahead of the championship. 1-2 for red bull in the WDC and a big margin in the WCC. And all that while ferrari have a objectively great car
Car wise i think they are very balanced atm. Drivers aswell very balanced, i think RBR have a slight advantage with Max and Checo. Fast cars, one better on X tracks, the other better on Y tracks, but RBR have Newey, Horner (way better leader than Binotto, sorry to say) and the best pit crew on the grid. This is so valueble as seen yesterday, when margins are basically non existant, and 0.3 pit stop diffrence can be a win or a P3...
The more other teams are highlighted the better red bull looks. Red bull never seems panicked or caught off guard. They just look more prepared than ferrari. Ferrari seems to struggle a lot under pressure. Maybe the ferrari strategists need a few red bulls every weekend lol
Lol Redbull should offer them some. On a serious note though, this is why, regardless of whether people like or dislike them. You can't denie they are probably the best all round team
@@geonerd They for sure would apologize, what I am saying is they can say "sorry that happened, we tried to fix that in another way." FYI file a complaint is not cheap
So fun to see them sabotaging themselves.. I am really sorry for Charles and Carlos but apparently Ferrari still cannot admit that they need to change something
I'm not a Ferrari fan but after the Vettel years and now this, seeing drivers failed by repeated incompetence in both strategy and communication with the driver is so frustrating. Ferrari have got to get their act together, they've been like this for years and it's pretty unacceptable. It almost feels like jobs for mates in the background with just how often they are messing up. I think they have thrown more chances through strategy and communication blunders than any other team this past decade.
Really good analysis. I was waiting for someone to finally point out that the first pit stop was the real error. What I find amusing is that RB was totally gambling with bringing Perez in so early. He actually could easily have finished P5 with that decision. but since Lando is such a nice guy and entered the pit for inters a lap later and the Ferrari strategiest and RBs biggest fan Latifi like checo very much as well, he got P1 instead
Gambling with perez, I don't think so bud it is just common known that in the wet when the circumstances are right for the intermediates you are going so much faster than on full wets. So normally you would want to make as les pitstops as possible, but with that huge amount of timeadvantage on those inters that almost makes it irrelivant. So I gues that is what the strategic at the ferrari pitwall thought as wel. En perez pitting made it confusing for them. And so could perez go ahead of both ferrari's. At least that is what I think feel free to let your own thoughts as a reaction. :)
@@fujinjansen5535 you are only right in clean air. the better tire does not bring you anything if you are stuck behind a slower car on monaco. so if norris would have been on the same strategy as sainz and russel, perez (and also verstappen by the way) might have lost the position by coming out behind him. so they gambled on him pitting as well or being able to overtake with the much better tires. but as hamilton could tell you, overtaking is not so easy on monaco, eventhough you have the better tire :D
Man, I really feel for Charles. Winning the Monaco F1 driving for Ferrari would be the dream of anybody into racing. Especially for a boy from Monaco. He did everything he could to get the win; winning pole, leading the race and driving well in the conditions. Every team makes mistakes, I’ve just got so much sympathy for Charles that those multiple mistakes happened to him at this race.
Great video guys! Ferrari will always finish behind RB and MB if the races are tight. They have never shown the strategic intelligence of the other top teams! If they have a dominant car with comfortable margins they can win, but as soon as they need to make decisions in the heat of a race, they have no chance.
Ferrari once again showing their strategic incompetence. If Leclerc loses this year it won't be his fault but it will definitely be Ferrari's strat team fault
The saying goes "When you're looking in from outside of Ferrari, you wonder how they aren't winning everything. When you're looking out from within Ferrari, you wonder how they are winning anything at all." I read a comment earlier saying Ferrari is like a midfield team that was handed a championship contending car and they have no idea what to do with it and it just rings so true. They have all this data, all these systems at the pit wall, with tens of people monitoring every detail of it and they still keep dropping the ball time and time again. I am so sick of Ferrari and their internal politics, their "pride", their way of running the team like it's still the 80s.
@@paultruesdale7680 They are the most successful because they have been in F1 the longest, they are not nearly as great as their results make them out to be. Their dominant years are the outliers, they are a midfield team at heart and in Monaco they showed that, in 2017 they showed that, in 2018 they showed that. It's a shame, really, but it's the truth. I hope they can pull it together this year and win, I don't want RB/Max to win and Charles is an amazing driver. But I won't be holding my breath.
The thing is Sainz strategy wasn’t the right call for the team. He wanted to do his own race beating Leclerc for the win, but that ultimately cost the team a 1-2 because he refused to come in to cover Perez. What surprise me even more is their leading driver who led comfortably didn’t get the prioritized strategy and had to suffer for it. People praising Sainz should keep in mind Perez won that race on a 2-stopper compared to Sainz 1-stop. If Leclerc would’ve been on the same strategy as Sainz, Sainz would’ve dropped down to 3rd.
what are you talking about? from the lap times I think that even if Sainz pitted on lap 17, Perez would have undercutted him already. Ferrari needed to pit Leclerc on lap 17, not Sainz.
The problem with Ferrari is their huge ego and lack of self accountability when they mess up. They always try to do these idiotic protest to distract from their real problem: themselves.
While Adrian Newey is writing " how to build a car", Ferrari is writing "how to fucked up with your driver race" and "13 ways to fuck your race"👌🏻 I am a Ferrari fan, but honestly...
Ferrari's had abysmal strategy for many years now. They could have had a WDC with Seb, but lost him more than a couple of races with bad tire choices, poor pit stop planning, etc. There was a point when Seb even began telling the team when he was going to pit, because he knew how bad it was, even from inside the car lol. Ferrari can build a hell of a car, but their racecraft is a joke!
Weird thing i'm gonna say but i am a Ferrari and a Hajduk FC fan. And while Hajduk is shaming a town, Ferrari are shaming a country. It's better to shame the former than the latter if that makes sense.
Critically acclaimed race director, with decades of experience, admits to COPY & PASTING rules and regs without testing, checking or researching them. Absolutely shameless, what utter incompetence!
Before anyone chimes in with "oh he's only human, we all make mistakes". You get paid enough at that level to NOT be complacent or make mistakes. Hugely embarrassing.
@@mikko3 pit entry regs are always less strict than pit exit regs. But you're totally right, there was a directive there to not cross the entry line yet he did it multiple times. A rule is a rule! Max never crossed the line in Monaco.

people often forget that when Schumi was at Ferrari and winning, they had the best Strategist, engineers, team manager and drivers. Ferrari nowdays have excellent drivers, but lacking everything else
lmao whoever does the little sprite animations needs a raise for doing a Schumacher edit when he crashed XD It was this tiny, little detail gone in a flash! They didn't even need to do it but whoever you are, pixel artist, thanks for the little chuckle.
Sainz needs to listen because he is in a team. Championships and races are not won alone. If he went in for hards the previous lap, as he was asked, we would have talk of another race. He would have not had the traffic of Latifi and possibly a shot to win the race. Leclerc would have not had to wait. It’s true that the strategists were not faultless, but this is the first strategical mistake of the season. They improved a lot with respect to a couple of years ago.
@@lancerevo8692 that’s not true. I think the commentators said something like that but they were wrong. They don’t pit for intermediates and the lap after for hards. He already went long waiting for slicks, made no sense shifting to an intermediate plan when the track was ready for the slicks. The audio in which he is asked about intermediates is long before his pit stop.
It has to be said, although Sergio deserved the win, that the main cause of Ferrari coming in 2nd and 4th was the strategy calls from Ferrari themselves.
@@favianmadrid6345 I'll never be able to stop. Since 1982, my papa drilled it into my head that I'm a Ferrari fan, and nothing else matters. I am passing that on to my sons, and will until I probably stop caring about F1.
Leclerc has only himself to blame here. He has the track dryness information, has the feel of the car, the dry lines etc. Ferrari panicked. Leclerc will learn from this but it is HIS duty just as Sainz questioned the strategy. Surely this had been discussed beforehand?
Did you see the interviews after the race? Leclerc was questioning everything, saying they need to do better and the teams at fault.. so I don’t know where you got that opinion from.
Charles was also blocked on the entire outlap from Albon, who ignored all blue flags - i think 20 in total. No idea how or why Albon nor Latifi received penalties.
Matia's post race interview was so painful to watch and made my blood boil somewhat. He lacked any direct apology to Charles and just muffled a load of nonsense. Charles is on fire, don't make this another Vettel scenario you fools!!
Yep, the continuous plucking and finnicking at his elbow was something I last saw when my 5 year old tried to explain why he broke a porcelain bowl on the table but honestly, it wasn't his fault. It amused me seeing this squirming from a 5 year old, it was downright painful to see a grown man do this. And not just anybody, the team bloody principal from Ferrari in the most iconic F1 team in history. Have your employees (mechanics, office backends and whatnot) as Italians if pride is such an important thing. But get rid of all Italians from the pitwall and start over, substitute them all with people that a) know their job, b) can speak English above average and c) can stand in front of a camera and explain things, give an interview. All of them. Not only the TP, all the pitwall crew needs this training and ability. Should you happen to find a person ticking all the boxes and he/she happens to be Italian, sure, hire them but not *because* they are Italian. Capability is not a nationality. Or keep them and supply them with funny hats, mascara and oversized boots so they can complete the clown parade picture once and for all.
@@deadmanwalking1930 I was a fan back in the day too, used to be a well oiled machine. I've been a redbull and McLaren fan for the last 5-10 years though. I wich Mclaren would get off their ass.
Tho moment Ferrari stop Leclerc first over Sainz was a "wtf moment" for me. Like WHY they changed tyres on him if his teammate publicly said "hell no, lets wait for slick". Ferrari Got scared for a possible undercut from Checo, and that fear is what make them from a probable P1-P2 to downfall
This might just be me being biased, but as much as I couldn’t agree more on the fact that Ferrari have only themselves to blame for the clown show they put up, it looks like racing direction standards haven’t improved that much since last year finale. Is it that flipping hard to have a clear set of rules and play by it come race time? The whole copy-pasted notes from last year thing makes the FIA direction look as bad as Ferrari pit wall was yesterday
@@florianhirsch471 the fact that the race director notes contradicted what the FIA sporting code says on matter of pitlane exit procedure, the fact that said sporting code apparently was changed more than once in the lasc couple of years causing confusion. The fact that they were forced to do rolling starts because apparently there was an issue with the grid lights. The fact that race start was delayed by more than an hour, possibly because of said light problems because the safety car never got out on track to report the conditions to the race direction. The fact that the press and possibly the teams weren’t informed about the grid lights thing untill after the race end. The fact that Perez’s error in exiting pitlane was noted but Verstappen’s wasn’t even though arguably more severe. Probably someone else can add to my list
I agree that Ferrari is to blame for the loss, but it’s ridiculous that the Race Director’s Event Notes were wrong because the race director made “a cut and paste from the 2021 version”. What is this guy being paid for? The whole event was managed very poorly. Masi would have done a better job. I still need someone to explain the red flag caused by Tsunoda in q1.
Ferrari are making the same mistakes they did with Vettel in 2015-2020..
It’s in their DNA
@@donbrashsux unfortunately, it is..
Vettel was partly to blame for his own unforced errors as well.
@@basirkhan8926 yes he was but that happened later in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 season. In 2015 and 2017 he lost a lot because of his team strategists..
And Alonso.
Thanks to this year, I think people will respect Vettel more for his run with Ferrari. This is Charles' first attempt at a serious championship battle. Vettel tried this with them for years. So many strategy mistakes, long pit stops, reliability problems.. The guy basically did his own strategy while driving the car at one point. Imagine dealing with that for years, imagine the pressure he had on his shoulders. We know Ferrari is terrible at taking pressure off of their drivers, for example Mercedes does this really well. I feel for Leclerc. He already signed his future with this hellhole of a team. But their internal politics and their "Italian pride" won't help them. They had Alonso and Vettel with them, ruined their career basically. If you cannot win a championship with 2 great champions for all those years, I think you should seek the blame in yourself. I hope things go different for Charles, but to be honest, I'm not keeping my hopes up..
Yeah mate. This season is already done. After Baku there's 5 straight races where the Honda engine will win the races for them. Championship over before the summer break, so essentially a significantly worse performance than 2018 already. It's time to stop supporting this clown show mate.
Vettel was once a good driver, now he's a washerd up mid table driver at best.

Thank you.
God damn, I've been a Ferrari fan for 15 years.
I was screaming at the screen yesterday, "what the hell are you doing???? Is Sainz the only one with a brain in that team??"
Seriously, this happens way too often, what the hell are Ferrari's strategists doing?
I'm not a ferrari fan but I was doing the same. Ridiculous lack of tactical flexibility
I prepared myself for the reality of Ferrari bottling like this time ago, and the moment I saw Binotto flip flopping about with concern over the rain, whilst Horner remained relatively relaxed, I knew they were gonna stuff it. TP's always have that look on them when you know they have no idea what to do, Wolff and even Horner also had that disposition last year at points. Anyway, I was prepared and when it unfolded, I was disappointed but not mad.
Same, only I've been a fan since '98 ffs.
I'm a Ferrari fan since 2006 , they dont deserve a title until the crap management and clown pitwall is sorted out.
Ferrari's strategists are terrible for the last few years since numerous blunders with Vettel.
I’m not a fan of Red Bull but they do seem to be much better at “thinking on their feet” during races. On numerous occasions, other teams have looked clumsy in comparison.
You'd think they have scenarios worked out for situations like these. "If rain comes, we do [this] if the gap to the midfield is > [X seconds]". Also, especially in rainy conditions, the driver has so much information about how the tyres are working out. Just tell them how much faster the others are on inters and ask if they can hold out for another X laps to switch to slicks.
While you cant always rely on this, this fast thinking did get them a podium in Brazil 2016 and a win in Spain 2016 ( to name a few)
Red Bull have had the best strategists even since before the Vettel era. They're just on another level compared to everyone else. It's annoying to see how quick and efficient they are as a non-Red Bull fan and that my own team can't seem to keep up lol.
Like in abu dhabi 2021
It’s really not hard to make Ferrari look like a bunch of clowns
We seen ferrari flop when in comes to developments, wouldn't be that surprised. If you are to win this championship you probably need to be your own strategist as seen by sainz and consistently russel
Yes, I remember the hype of everyone saying Ferrari was fully back and firing on all cylinders coming into this season and tbf, it looked like they had coming into the season but truly, I was never convinced that Ferrari could be able to match the development and strategic work rate and weight of RBR, idk, everyone makes mistakes, even Ferrari, perhaps they will be able to turn it around and get it in gear but I am not too convinced if I am honest.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Well in fairness Ferrari's development has been good, back to the fastest car since Spain. The only issue is, a reliability issue in Spain and then that half brain strategy in Monaco. So once again, strategy is the issue at Ferrari.
Ferarri strategy has been shit for years though. In the 2019 rocket engine season their strategy calls were also often terrible. Such a shame for Charles because it would have been a easy win
@@tfuwantthen3786 truly does suck
In all of this, it's beatiful that Sainz is getting a lot of hate from the Italian 'Malati di Tifo' for not having done his job as no. 2 driver and for not having let the strategists fuck him properly.
Maybe it tells something about sportsmanship in Italy, and reminds me why I don't cheer for Ferrari, regardless of the drivers' quality.
The astonishing thing is none of very few of the teams seemed to have learned the lessons of 2016 (six years ago) when Hamilton played stay out on Full Wets untilI I need dry tyres game to perfection . I wonder why so many were reluctant to repeat this strategy? After all track position is king at Monaco. Monaco is the one place where you can go from Full Wet to Dry tyres and actually gain an advantage. Charles needs a race engineer that will pacify him rather than one that panics themselves.
maybe because RB threatening them? look at how close SF and RBR at the end of the race. 4 of them is nose to tail with each other. If they stay out and go straight wet, considering how fast RBR with inter, i think they still gonna lose the track position when they pit for the slick
@@nhs.14 Leclerc had 5 second lead over Sainz before he pitted for Inters.
@@TheSt1092 yeah but at that time, slick is not faster than inter yet, and perez already using inter and closing in like 2 second each lap. It’s hard to response to that, and i think sainz should be the one responding the RBR and hold perez to secure leclerc lead yet he refuse. Thats what happen when there is no team order.
exactly my thought. At most, staying out would risk sainz losing track position to an overcut (which actually happened thanks to latifi) But leclerc was in no way in danger to that, since the gap to sainz was 5 sec, and an overcut with inters does not lose you that much.
So leclerc was ultra safe, making the decision to give him inters 2 rounds later due to some good laps from perez even more dubios
You have to remember Hamilton was massively helped by Reb Bull messing up Ricciardo's pit stop by not having the tyres ready. Hamilton only just came out in front of him after that delay, if the pit stop had been reasonable Ricciardo would have been comfortably in the lead. But in this race Leclerc would have retained the lead if he'd stayed out on wets and had gone straight to slicks.
When your driver has scored 5 out of 7 poles. He deserves so much more than just 2 race wins. Ferrari needs to get it together.
Red Bull and Verstappen will run away with everything. In fact it's gonna be Perez vs Verstappen for the WDC at this rate.
Red Bull and Verstappen will run away with everything. In fact it's gonna be Perez vs Verstappen for the WDC at this rate.
Race pace and qualifying pace are 2 different things. the 2013 Mercedes was a monster in qualifying, 8/19 poles that season, but it's race pace was only good enough for the 4th fastest car on the grid. Ferrari have the same problem this season, the car is the fastest in qualifying, but in race pace falls behind Red Bull by some margin
@@ey7290 As much as Red Bull had great pace advantage in Imola and Miami I think Ferrari had the best car on sundays for both of the previous two races
@@ey7290 the race pace in clean air is basically the same. it’s red bulls straight line speed that just makes it a wave by if they can get close
When season started with Red Bull reliability issues, I knew there was nothing to worry about. Because one thing you can ALLWAYS expect is Ferrari strategy mistakes.
Same. Even after Quali I knew if one team on the grid is able to throw away a front row lockout on the most narrow circuit with near to no overtake opportunities it's Ferrari
Yeah you are right, however I was worried that the season was over for Red Bull. To think about it now Ferrari has the faster car over red bull en yet they are behind in both championships, which is not wat you expected if you look at dnf's but that is calculated outside Ferrari's stupidity to throw away a front row lockout this season. Which is not a first this season
I fear Mercedes more
@@DarthSparhawk I wouldn’t even if they get the car up to the same level as the rb their season is over since max is already 100pts up
Ferrari threw away Leclerc's chances, not Sainz, Sainz lost because lapped cars weren't adhering to blue flags which cost him the undercut. If Ferrari listened to Sainz they would have easily had a 1-2 finish
Leclerc was also stuck behind Albon for a full lap while Albon was getting blue flags. Doesn't seem to be getting mentioned anywhere and didn't come up on the broadcast due to Monaco's excellent tv direction...
@@_mickmccarthy Albono got Blue Flag flashback. 😂
Had there been a penalty, would 5 seconds, if that, have made a difference?
They were adhering but in Monacao you can't just move over anywhere. The back markers are still racing too, so they move over when safe. Joe from Alpha tried to take advantage of this and work on a pass while back markers let the front through later in the race. Monaco is just a terrible track and needs to be removed, I don't care about the millionaires and their parties.
Just Latifi being Latifi. I usually don't have any issues with him but when he starts effecting the people actually racing then it starts to become a problem.
At this point I am absolutely 100% certain that Ferrari are going to win the championship this year. The problem is it seems they're going to win it for Red Bull.
Maybe Ferarri isn't Ferrari more maybe someone other team secretly owns them. That would then make perfect sense. Nothing Else does
I've been a Ferrari fan since I became an F1 fan, but how they handled their mistake in strategy really left a bad taste in my mouth. Own your mistake damn it, don't try hiding behind a grey area in the rules and steal a win from another driver and team that deserved the win fair and square.

This is the same thing that happened when they were fighting Merc in 2017/18 they made some absolute howlers when it came to strategy!

@@amedeosantini3911 George Russell would disagree, I think.
@@summerlove7779 he can say whatever he wants. But they are so far off the pace. They’ll need to develop their car so much more than RedBull and Ferrari, I don’t think that’s possible with the budget cap and the inflation. RedBull was always very strong in the development race and Ferrari showed that what they brought worked well (fixing one of their main problems from the previous era).
@@summerlove7779 It really doesn't matter what George thinks. Mercedes is still way off the pace of RB and Ferrari. They can definitely be a comfortable 5th a 6th but they won't get much higher unless something happens to a RB or Ferrari.

@Summer Love Mercedes is clearly the best of the midfield. At times they've had the pace to keep up with the leaders, but the only way they're getting on the podium is when RB or Ferrari DNFs.
It was a catastrophic race, it seems they have no good tacticians and the drivers don't trust them, otherwise they wouldn't have to make the tactic themselves.
The strategist is french, by the way.
@Dacia Sandero guys I think, its a lack of professionalism, it was a ferrari issue in the past and probably is now. They are loved one way or the other, so why put in the extra hours.
@Dacia Sandero guys exactly 👏
Ferrari is like a midfield team which got his hands on a championship winning car, and now they have now idea how to turn this potential into actual results
I think it would exactly be the midfield teams that would know what to do. Feel like teams that are running in front for years have gone cold with this sort of thing. Mercedes-AMG made quite a bit of boo-boos in calls themselves last season and before that. However, Ferrari is different. I feel like they should start employing personnel based on their capabilities and expertise, not their nationality and who can sing the Italian anthem the loudest.
Ferrari more like the backfield team for me.
Best comment of the day.
@@paultruesdale7680 Sh*t happens for that team for the last 15 years. Being the most successful team (ever and also in the last 14 years) that hasn't won anything (even with some zainy means) doesn't mean much. They can't keep throwing races like that - every point matters and at the end of the season it won't matter when they were lost. Red Bull ain't gonna mess about.
What made me realize that Ferrari is terrible at race strategies is when Sainz was telling the pit wall what to expect and do so they wouldn’t F up his race.
Sainz's communication and decision messed up Leclerc's pit timing and set it back 1 lap. losing him crucial placement on a track where placement is everything. Because they needed to quickly reconsider strategy based off Sainz's demands.
It would have gone smoother if everyone fell in line like Red bull did. Going straight to slicks wasn't the best option either as it cost Sainz 1 spot, placing him behind the man he was in front of.
Ferrari should have done just like red bull did when seeing Ferrari pit for Hards. Immediately pit for the same tires, not wait and fuss around losing crucial time.
@@brandonhoffman4712 who cares... They have different engineers. Sainz doesnt have to be subservient to Leclerc
@@brandonhoffman4712 Exactly Sainz is also to blame here rather than being praised, his argument with his engineer to pit or not prevented Leclerc from pitting one lap earlier which could've put him ahead of perez
@@q_rkmghow7083 it wasnt about being subservient, sainz was arguing to not pit despite being told to and the team was not sure whether he would pit or not, so they kept leclerc out and perez caught up and surpassed him as he pitted for the wets earlier, If Sainz had pitted for wets when he was told then none of this would've happened, and the worst part is he was losing time to the red bulls on wets, he was ahead of perez and should've been till the end but his "strategy" lost time to perez, even without Latifi ahead
what made me realize Ferrari is terrible at race strategies was the years 2005-present
Reminds me of Vettel's 2017 and 2018 (I think) seasons where he was frequently battling the pit wall regarding strategy.
until he spun out of every other race.

How is the most historic and easily most valuable team in F1 constantly plagued by these rookie level strategy errors... it makes no sense, like sure, you're going to get it wrong some times, but we never hear about a "Ferrari strategy masterstroke". Their strategic incompetence screwed over Seb/Kimi and I guess now it's Charles/Carlos turn.
It makes a lot of sense. Historic, in the context of the Ferrari F1 teams, means arrogant and complacent. Value, well that means the FIA has been shovelling them cash above what they pay even Merc and Red Bull, for decades, despite their demonstrable lack of results.
pride and over confidence
One explanation: they hire based on Italian-ness not skills
They’re Italian
A common case where the leadership is the problem. Firing the people below them won't resolve the issue.
This race was a huge L for Ferrari at a track where overtaking is almost impossible
Yes, Monaco is basically pure strategy. Starting before the race even begins with qualifying, and holding true to the end.
I’m afraid this season is looking like a 2017 and 2018 again for them, as a racing fan I hope they sort it out.
They never sort it out, typical Italian.
If they stop development like 2018 , I will cry... Weak aero , weak tyres , weak strategies and somehow it will all come down to Leclerc and not Ferrari

Still remember that one like yesterday.....
How these fucktards stopped Nando from winning 2 championships in that tractor and forever silencing the haters is beyond me. Error after error after error. On top of making a tractor. Nando was robbed of 3 WDCs. It's unacceptable. And by the way I hated Nando before because of my love for Schumi. But in 10 and 12 man proved beyond all doubt that he is one of the greatest ever. Supporting Ferrari is the hardest thing any sports fan can do
They don't have the killer instinct that RB or Merc have. Their tactics are still the same as when they were a midrange team.
Agreed... in a nutshell it's exactly that.
And when they were mid-field they were doing strategy like the Schumacher era, when they were racing themselves most of the time.
As much as we love and admire Ferrari, this is sadly typical, and without surprise. Ferrari need to loose the drama, and the café Latte (foam/froth on top) mentality once and for all, before this rare opportunity slips through their fingers again.
I don't love Ferrari. How can you love Ferrari when they are so incompetent that they sabotage their best driver's chance at a WDC? It is INSANE. They need to reign in Saintz (or replace him), establish a team order, and get their shit together! Time is running out.

Understood. Copy.
The only good Ferrari strategist in Monaco was Sainz himself. He decided changing directly to slicks was better than what Ferrari initially planned. And it proved to be effective, he was really close this time to victory, but Checo did an amazing, flawless race and he won. Really sorry for Leclerc, he had to suffer the consequences of Ferrari's poor handling of pit stops, he was believing in the team's plan and they screwed it.
I hope Ferrari learns from the big mistakes they made with the strategy and pit stop timing, they have to improve that, you can't do this and win a championship. Ferrari has the car and the drivers, but if they lack thinking they're gonna be easily beaten by Red Bull. If Ferrari really wants to win the championship they need to correct those issues
Checo drove a great race but he actually got extremely lucky with his race win. If Latifi had listened to blue flags Sainz would have come out ahead after Perez' pit and won the race.
Still a fantastic drive by Checo and deserved win.
Leclerc wanted slicks too, not just Sainz. He wanted to stay out a bit longer and go straight to slicks. Unfortunately he trusted the strategists unlike Sainz who didn't. I don't think our drivers should have to be thinking of strategy so much tho in a race.

Yesterday felt like a flashback to the Vettel era ferrari strategy crew (2018-2020 especially). And not even that. The Stewards blamed Ferrari for the impeding incidents with sainz, because they gave him wrong informations over team radio? why do f1 teams not use spotters at such tight tracks for practice and quali? But a team, who makes such mistakes is not really championship worthy. red bull don't make such mistakes. If perez manages to outrace leclerc once or twice he will be ahead of the championship. 1-2 for red bull in the WDC and a big margin in the WCC. And all that while ferrari have a objectively great car
Car wise i think they are very balanced atm. Drivers aswell very balanced, i think RBR have a slight advantage with Max and Checo. Fast cars, one better on X tracks, the other better on Y tracks, but RBR have Newey, Horner (way better leader than Binotto, sorry to say) and the best pit crew on the grid.

I'm not a Ferrari fan but after the Vettel years and now this, seeing drivers failed by repeated incompetence in both strategy and communication with the driver is so frustrating. Ferrari have got to get their act together, they've been like this for years and it's pretty unacceptable. It almost feels like jobs for mates in the background with just how often they are messing up. I think they have thrown more chances through strategy and communication blunders than any other team this past decade.
From season to season, whether Ferrari have a rocket or a lawnmower. One thing stays consistent, their strategy is abysmal.
Really good analysis. I was waiting for someone to finally point out that the first pit stop was the real error. What I find amusing is that RB was totally gambling with bringing Perez in so early. He actually could easily have finished P5 with that decision. but since Lando is such a nice guy and entered the pit for inters a lap later and the Ferrari strategiest and RBs biggest fan Latifi like checo very much as well, he got P1 instead
Gambling with perez, I don't think so bud it is just common known that in the wet when the circumstances are right for the intermediates you are going so much faster than on full wets. So normally you would want to make as les pitstops as possible, but with that huge amount of timeadvantage on those inters that almost makes it irrelivant. So I gues that is what the strategic at the ferrari pitwall thought as wel. En perez pitting made it confusing for them. And so could perez go ahead of both ferrari's. At least that is what I think feel free to let your own thoughts as a reaction. :)
@@fujinjansen5535 you are only right in clean air. the better tire does not bring you anything if you are stuck behind a slower car on monaco. so if norris would have been on the same strategy as sainz and russel, perez (and also verstappen by the way) might have lost the position by coming out behind him. so they gambled on him pitting as well or being able to overtake with the much better tires. but as hamilton could tell you, overtaking is not so easy on monaco, eventhough you have the better tire :D
This race was incredibly frustrating to watch, poor Charles
And Sainz, Latifi ruined his chance to get the Monaco win.
Man, I really feel for Charles. Winning the Monaco F1 driving for Ferrari would be the dream of anybody into racing. Especially for a boy from Monaco.
He did everything he could to get the win; winning pole, leading the race and driving well in the conditions. Every team makes mistakes, I’ve just got so much sympathy for Charles that those multiple mistakes happened to him at this race.
Great video guys! Ferrari will always finish behind RB and MB if the races are tight. They have never shown the strategic intelligence of the other top teams! If they have a dominant car with comfortable margins they can win, but as soon as they need to make decisions in the heat of a race, they have no chance.
Well said. Ferrari better hope Redbull don't make their car any faster
You only win if Latifi wants you to, amateur move by Ferrari for underestimating the goat
How many races Goatifi decided till now?
@@qrak7838 publicly only 2, but i guarentee every race result comes back to him
Red Bull strategy simply just spot on as usual causing Ferrari to fumble in their decision at such crucial moments.
I'm so glad you guys stopped interrupting the videos half way through to ask ppl to follow, a good call. Videos flow a lot better now
Ferrari once again showing their strategic incompetence. If Leclerc loses this year it won't be his fault but it will definitely be Ferrari's strat team fault
What attack up the hill did max block? lmao leclerc was too far behind yet. There was never an attack
The saying goes "When you're looking in from outside of Ferrari, you wonder how they aren't winning everything. When you're looking out from within Ferrari, you wonder how they are winning anything at all."
I read a comment earlier saying Ferrari is like a midfield team that was handed a championship contending car and they have no idea what to do with it and it just rings so true. They have all this data, all these systems at the pit wall, with tens of people monitoring every detail of it and they still keep dropping the ball time and time again. I am so sick of Ferrari and their internal politics, their "pride", their way of running the team like it's still the 80s.
@@paultruesdale7680 They are the most successful because they have been in F1 the longest, they are not nearly as great as their results make them out to be. Their dominant years are the outliers, they are a midfield team at heart and in Monaco they showed that, in 2017 they showed that, in 2018 they showed that. It's a shame, really, but it's the truth. I hope they can pull it together this year and win, I don't want RB/Max to win and Charles is an amazing driver. But I won't be holding my breath.
The thing is Sainz strategy wasn’t the right call for the team. He wanted to do his own race beating Leclerc for the win, but that ultimately cost the team a 1-2 because he refused to come in to cover Perez. What surprise me even more is their leading driver who led comfortably didn’t get the prioritized strategy and had to suffer for it. People praising Sainz should keep in mind Perez won that race on a 2-stopper compared to Sainz 1-stop. If Leclerc would’ve been on the same strategy as Sainz, Sainz would’ve dropped down to 3rd.
what are you talking about? from the lap times I think that even if Sainz pitted on lap 17, Perez would have undercutted him already. Ferrari needed to pit Leclerc on lap 17, not Sainz.
The problem with Ferrari is their huge ego and lack of self accountability when they mess up. They always try to do these idiotic protest to distract from their real problem: themselves.
While Adrian Newey is writing " how to build a car", Ferrari is writing "how to fucked up with your driver race" and "13 ways to fuck your race"👌🏻 I am a Ferrari fan, but honestly...
On a side note...Time for Monaco GP to go! 💯
100%. What a shit track for these kind of cars.
Perez and alonso were unbelievable slow (for quite some time latifi and gzou were faster than perez) and still no one could overtake them
Ferrari back to their best…. Failing strategy
We need to get rid of Binotto
@@screw_bird he doesnt make the strategies. they have excellent engineers and drivers, they just need to get rid of the strategists.
I think Ferrari fans start past flashbacks regarding their strategy failures.
Ferrari's had abysmal strategy for many years now. They could have had a WDC with Seb, but lost him more than a couple of races with bad tire choices, poor pit stop planning, etc. There was a point when Seb even began telling the team when he was going to pit, because he knew how bad it was, even from inside the car lol. Ferrari can build a hell of a car, but their racecraft is a joke!
We have a good driver, competitive car, fighting for championship... wait there has to be a way we can mess up?
Perez was ahead already after the first stop. So even if Lec and Per pit same after Per probably would've stayed ahead if they change same time.
Ferrari can't handle the pressure, that's how it happened in the Vettel era, especially in 2017
As a Ferrari fan there is only one thing to say. Ferrari are humiliating Italy. They’ve been doing so for the best part of half a decade.
Weird thing i'm gonna say but i am a Ferrari and a Hajduk FC fan. And while Hajduk is shaming a town, Ferrari are shaming a country. It's better to shame the former than the latter if that makes sense.
This is the worst I have seen for years Charles had that race in his hands I feel for the guy
Love the small details of MSCs car breaking in two in your graphics!
Critically acclaimed race director, with decades of experience, admits to COPY & PASTING rules and regs without testing, checking or researching them. Absolutely shameless, what utter incompetence!
Before anyone chimes in with "oh he's only human, we all make mistakes". You get paid enough at that level to NOT be complacent or make mistakes. Hugely embarrassing.
he was quite shocking today. And the non-start was confusing too, even the commentators were confused as to why we weren't starting the race.
@@mikko3 pit entry regs are always less strict than pit exit regs. But you're totally right, there was a directive there to not cross the entry line yet he did it multiple times. A rule is a rule! Max never crossed the line in Monaco.
With the updated ISC, now drivers gonna push the limit by trying to stay on yellow line to try blocking whenever possible
It's a disadvantage to be leading in mixed or changing conditions. This phenomenon is only magnified in Monaco.
Exactly. Because people behind will always have the benefit to dictate the strategy
Absolutely disagree with it being magnified in Monaco, if anything it's minimised in Monaco since track position is so important.
@@majama840 That's exactly why it's more of a disadvantage. Pitting first is giving up the precious track position that you speak of...
These videos are on par with the quality of official F1 videos in terms of production and information provided. Excellent insights and technical info that any F1 fan can understand. Thanks for all you do!
people often forget that when Schumi was at Ferrari and winning, they had the best Strategist, engineers, team manager and drivers. Ferrari nowdays have excellent drivers, but lacking everything else
lmao whoever does the little sprite animations needs a raise for doing a Schumacher edit when he crashed XD
It was this tiny, little detail gone in a flash! They didn't even need to do it but whoever you are, pixel artist, thanks for the little chuckle.
Ferrari can only win if they stop defending their own clowns making idiotic decisions. Great on Sainz for not listening to his strategists.
sainz has been making his strategy from 2021 but charles is the one does not understand to not depend upon ferrari strategy
Sainz needs to listen because he is in a team. Championships and races are not won alone. If he went in for hards the previous lap, as he was asked, we would have talk of another race. He would have not had the traffic of Latifi and possibly a shot to win the race. Leclerc would have not had to wait. It’s true that the strategists were not faultless, but this is the first strategical mistake of the season. They improved a lot with respect to a couple of years ago.
@@amedeosantini3911 the team wanted to put him on inters not hards
@@lancerevo8692 that’s not true. I think the commentators said something like that but they were wrong. They don’t pit for intermediates and the lap after for hards. He already went long waiting for slicks, made no sense shifting to an intermediate plan when the track was ready for the slicks. The audio in which he is asked about intermediates is long before his pit stop.
It has to be said, although Sergio deserved the win, that the main cause of Ferrari coming in 2nd and 4th was the strategy calls from Ferrari themselves.
Ferrari did the most Ferrari thing possible!🤬🤬🤬🤬 Sometimes it is SO hard being a fan of this team.
I stopped when vettel left.
@@favianmadrid6345 I'll never be able to stop. Since 1982, my papa drilled it into my head that I'm a Ferrari fan, and nothing else matters. I am passing that on to my sons, and will until I probably stop caring about F1.
Leclerc has only himself to blame here. He has the track dryness information, has the feel of the car, the dry lines etc. Ferrari panicked. Leclerc will learn from this but it is HIS duty just as Sainz questioned the strategy. Surely this had been discussed beforehand?
Why is everyone focusing on one teams mistake instead of focusing on Perez’s victory
Because he only won because of the mistake??
@@jorge8596 he won because it was fast on those inter
Because the video is about Ferrari's mistakes.
Same in the Alonso era... They made alot of blunders and unforced errors when ALO was gunning for championships.... And cost him...
Binotto didn't even apologise to Leclerc, Ferrari truly don't deserve him
It’s Ferrari. What do you expect? Drivers are replaceable for them
@@Loki-sk7bi I expected human decency
That's because you don't follow Italian sky sport
@@giuseppemaggio5894 Marc Gene mi annoia
2:40 that 3 seconds difference came directly from leclerc being stucked behind albon for entire lap and not because ferrari messed up.
Ferrari still messed up
The problem with LeClerc is too mich of a “Ferrari driver” so he doesn’t question that pit wall and team manager which are known to ruin their races.
Did you see the interviews after the race? Leclerc was questioning everything, saying they need to do better and the teams at fault.. so I don’t know where you got that opinion from.
I think they means during the race. Sainz questioned the strategy and decided on a different plan.
Charles was also blocked on the entire outlap from Albon, who ignored all blue flags - i think 20 in total. No idea how or why Albon nor Latifi received penalties.
Your not implying that the stewards are compromised surely not not on F1
LATIFI should be kicked out of F1, there is literally no point to him being there apart from inadvertently influencing race victories.
Man drove into the wall on formation lap 😂
Matia's post race interview was so painful to watch and made my blood boil somewhat. He lacked any direct apology to Charles and just muffled a load of nonsense. Charles is on fire, don't make this another Vettel scenario you fools!!
Yep, the continuous plucking and finnicking at his elbow was something I last saw when my 5 year old tried to explain why he broke a porcelain bowl on the table but honestly, it wasn't his fault. It amused me seeing this squirming from a 5 year old, it was downright painful to see a grown man do this. And not just anybody, the team bloody principal from Ferrari in the most iconic F1 team in history.
Have your employees (mechanics, office backends and whatnot) as Italians if pride is such an important thing. But get rid of all Italians from the pitwall and start over, substitute them all with people that a) know their job, b) can speak English above average and c) can stand in front of a camera and explain things, give an interview. All of them. Not only the TP, all the pitwall crew needs this training and ability. Should you happen to find a person ticking all the boxes and he/she happens to be Italian, sure, hire them but not *because* they are Italian. Capability is not a nationality.
Or keep them and supply them with funny hats, mascara and oversized boots so they can complete the clown parade picture once and for all.
Michael Masi: "running F1 isn't as easy as you thought huh?"
Imagine fucking up then trying to grasp at straws to win a position. Max didn't cross the line AND even touching the line gained him no advantage.
I used to be a Ferrari fan, but those days are gone now. Still love the drivers, but the team are a joke
@@deadmanwalking1930 I was a fan back in the day too, used to be a well oiled machine. I've been a redbull and McLaren fan for the last 5-10 years though. I wich Mclaren would get off their ass.
And they Blamed Vettel for not winning championship.
Tho moment Ferrari stop Leclerc first over Sainz was a "wtf moment" for me. Like WHY they changed tyres on him if his teammate publicly said "hell no, lets wait for slick". Ferrari Got scared for a possible undercut from Checo, and that fear is what make them from a probable P1-P2 to downfall
This has always been the Italian teams Achilles heel. The only time the team didn’t have these issues was when Ross Braun was in charge.
Thank you for explaining clearly exactly what happened here. Poor Chuck TheClerk - was as angry as ever heard any driver on team radio!
Kimi will forever be last Ferrari champion.
Perez jumped Charles even before they made the mistake but nobody is talking about it? It was more brilliant from Red Bull than poor from Ferrari
This might just be me being biased, but as much as I couldn’t agree more on the fact that Ferrari have only themselves to blame for the clown show they put up, it looks like racing direction standards haven’t improved that much since last year finale.
Is it that flipping hard to have a clear set of rules and play by it come race time?
The whole copy-pasted notes from last year thing makes the FIA direction look as bad as Ferrari pit wall was yesterday
What are you concerned about this race? There was nothing
@@florianhirsch471 the fact that the race director notes contradicted what the FIA sporting code says on matter of pitlane exit procedure, the fact that said sporting code apparently was changed more than once in the lasc couple of years causing confusion.
The fact that they were forced to do rolling starts because apparently there was an issue with the grid lights.
The fact that race start was delayed by more than an hour, possibly because of said light problems because the safety car never got out on track to report the conditions to the race direction.
The fact that the press and possibly the teams weren’t informed about the grid lights thing untill after the race end.
The fact that Perez’s error in exiting pitlane was noted but Verstappen’s wasn’t even though arguably more severe.
Probably someone else can add to my list
@@florianhirsch471 or as I said it might just be me being biased
1:30 Ha lol! Love the Schumacher crash animation haha
I agree that Ferrari is to blame for the loss, but it’s ridiculous that the Race Director’s Event Notes were wrong because the race director made “a cut and paste from the 2021 version”. What is this guy being paid for? The whole event was managed very poorly. Masi would have done a better job. I still need someone to explain the red flag caused by Tsunoda in q1.
Very well explained! Sadly it does not make what happend on Sunday, any easier for us Tifosi...:(
