Charles’ pace is looking a tad vulnerable to Norris at this stage. Graining?
I think he's just being careful to make the tyres last.

Leclerc's side of the garage needs to fix their **** in qualifying. He had an ultimately slower strategy today but it allowed him to jump a few cars, and he made it work. With proper strategy and qualifying he'd be fighting Checo.

Great job by Carlos as well.

I thought they hung Sainz out to dry, but both strategies were perfect and maximised what was available today. Redbull were never within reach (despite our fantasies) at this track. To bring home a 3-4 after qualifying 4-7 is what was available today. And it wasn’t easy, Charles’ 1 stop was an absolute masterstroke. The Ferrari strategy team is definitely improving. If they knew they had a big tyre wear advantage and just did a run of the mill 2 stopper with Charles, that would have been terrible. But they used it, and it worked. Smart.

All hail Vasseur

In the end, a good race for both drivers despite the qualifying.

This race made me even more furious than yesterday.

We need to fix quali, we can’t afford starting that much behind

Leclerc did an amazing job on that first stint, but the car is clearly a step above the chasing pack.

RedBull looked very strong, but with a cleaner race I think Ferrari would have been a lot closer.

Track position hurt them today so quali pace must be looked into. Hopefully the Imola package delivers, should be game on with RedBull.

What a strategy btw. That first stint was magic from Leclerc obviously pays the price of a bad qualifying today. He was as quick as Norris with one less stop, that's incredible tyre management.

My apologies to user Cs98.

TV graphics showed that Leclerc would finish P7 if he did the 2-stop strategy. The one stopper was an excellent call.

So that’s a 0.4s/lap slower than RBR after their update in their best track.

It’s not that bad.

Impressive race strategy calls and execution from LEC.

Very happy.

Please, I never want to hear "Ferrari strategy" as a meme for a while. Perfectly executed.

WIll Charles get credit for calling for a one stop btw? Or is Sainz the only driver who gets strategy broadcast?

Stunning performance by Leclerc, worthy of greatest of Champions! Excellent performance from Sainz, well deserved podium!

4 races driven, 4 races maximised on points, amazing consistency from Ferrari! Gap to Red Bull cut in half on their dominant Suzuka in 6 months!

They were a step better than what I expected today, it was a really great race! Merci Frederic, grazie Maranello! 8) 8) 8)

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Why!?! They extracted the absolute maximum result vs the RBR team! And proved that despite a poor quali the team can regain places through maximising the strengths of the car (tyre wear)

See? It's much easier for the same strategists to look competent if the car has good tyre management.
