Everyone is paying for the mess Binotto assembled, the car is a POS, the technical team look lost, the strategist are mediocre, terrible management and communication. Binotto in 4 years won 7 races, Horner in 5 years had a championship winning team.
Yet, Tsunoda who was in the way of everyone wasn't. I'm starting to think the stewards are Ferrari ex-strategy team members, who even they let go for under-performing.Sevach wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 00:54Carlos has been penalized, 3 places.

How do you measure qualifying in laps? That's just silly.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 04:34https://twitter.com/_ProjectF1/status/1 ... 89024?s=20
a 3 lap window for the softs, CL made the right call 100%, the issues for Ferrari started when they didn't listen to their driver, whilst GP was constantly asking Max' thoughts on the conditions and what tyre he thinks is best.
Wait... They didn't penalize tsunoda? Seriously smh. Sainz was clear but each weekend there's a double standard against Ferrari wtf.mzso wrote:Yet, Tsunoda who was in the way of everyone wasn't.

At least I thought so. Apparently later he got one as did Stroll. (And motorsport.com didn't bother to update the title and the summary for the article even now...)
What would you like it to be measured in, minutes? Would you rather have it say "Albon pitted at minute x and peaked at minute y and the window was z minutes big???mzso wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 08:56How do you measure qualifying in laps?

It's pointless to blame someone at this point. It's the entire Team. No one, even the best of the best, could perform in such an environment.

I don’t think that there is any doubt about who of these two drivers is the faster one. No one without bias would put Carlos over Charles.Andres125sx wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 14:25Second Q in a row when the fastest driver don´t make Q3 while the second driver make it
Pointing fingers this time to not switching to softs, previous GP pointing fingers to some mistery car damage wich was never confirmed.
But, didn´t several drivers make Q3 with inters in Q2? Yes, they did, only that Lecrerc lap on inters wasn´t good enough. Even Lecrerc admit this:

An earlier switch to softs could have provided more opportunities obviously, the team messed it up in that regard, period. But reality is Russel, Hamilton and Alonso went to Q3 using only inters in Q2, same as Lecrerc, only that they were faster than Lecrerc.
All parts to blame here, strategy team obviously, but also Lecrerc didn´t do it good enough.
Disclaimer: just trying to put some perspective, conditions were extremelly difficult, Ferrari, Aston and Mercedes made all same mistake, RBR did an even more weird mistake when Perez was doing a lap on softs and called him in to switch to inters again . This is the reason changing conditions are so funny for viewers, mistakes becomes normal for all teams and results become somehow unpredictable. But in those conditions is when top drivers shine. Look at Alonso Q2 lap on inters, Aston kept him with inters, same as Lecrerc, but contratry to Charles, he nailed the lap and went to Q3
