There is never peace for Ferrari: "Stop inventing, guys!"

The Italians who have been in

the Formula 1

, the soccer team of your country .

Surely that is why it is so difficult for there to be peace in the

.

Not even this Sunday, in what was a historic day for the

brand , could the Maranello crew celebrate it unconditionally.

Carlos Sainz premiered at Silverstone his record of victories in the contest in his 150th grand prix, a blow that also allowed Ferrari to break a streak of six consecutive wins by Red Bull.

Despite this, the members of the strategy department achieved what seemed impossible: that Sainz crossed the finish line as the winner, but with the fly behind his ear due to the orders they gave him from the wall, and that Charles Leclerc, his neighbor workshop, publicly request a review of decision-making, feeling harmed.

They were probably both partially right.

Apart from Guanyu Zhou's chilling accident, which forced the race to be stopped for more than 50 minutes and to consider a second start from the grid, the key moment of the race came as a result of the breakdown in Esteban Ocon's Alpine, which forced the stewards to release the safety car with 12 laps to go.

Ferrari led the pack with Leclerc and Sainz, while Lewis Hamilton was closing in on the man from Madrid, and was less than three seconds behind.

At that moment, the technicians of the Italian structure chose to call the Spaniard to replace the set of hard and used tires that his prototype wore, with a new, soft one.

And the same thing Mercedes did with Hamilton.

At Ferrari they thought at that time that making a double stop with such little time entailed too high a risk,

When Sainz and the Briton rejoined, they not only kept second and third place, respectively, but were also able to catch up with the leader.

That left Leclerc completely exposed, without the option of defending himself against the attacks of two rivals at the wheel of cars much faster than his.

At that precise moment, a few meters before the

went off and the test was reduced to a sprint of only ten laps, all the conditions that grip Ferrari emerged;

those that, for example, do not affect at all the internal politics of Red Bull, which always knows very well what it is playing.

“I wasted time”

In a desperate attempt to protect Leclerc, Riccardo Adami, Sainz's track engineer, asked his driver to leave a margin of ten cars ahead of him and even his partner.

"I'm under pressure from Hamilton, guys, stop inventing!", The runner replied, aware that this maneuver had the makings of a harakiri, which seriously risked the victory of those in red.

Once the race was resolved in favor of Sainz, and with Checo Pérez and Hamilton on the podium with him, one of the images that attracted the most attention was the sermon that Mattia Binotto, the director of Ferrari, seemed to give to Leclerc, which ended the fourth, as soon as he got off his F1-75.

"I want to discuss it and have a complete vision before giving an opinion," said the Monegasque, who, despite that, admitted having felt handicapped in the early stages, in which he was faster than his partner, but stayed behind him, waiting for his bosses to give him the green light.

“Obviously at the beginning I felt very strong and I lost some time [behind Sainz].

If this would have had a direct impact on the result?

I think not, but it is something that we must have controlled with a view to the future”, reflected Lecler,
