Ferrari Falls while Verstappen Wins
The team that Ferrari fears the most is…Ferrari. Whether its team strategy or reliability, Ferrari has consistently found a way to give away wins this year. Charles Leclerc was leading the race by four seconds when he mysteriously went off the track during lap 18. Right before his spinout into the barrier he complained about the throttle. Apparently, Ferrari failed to identify and fix the issue from last week. Remember, Leclerc struggled with his throttle the last ten laps of the Austrian Grand Prix. Regardless, Leclerc took the blame and said it was his mistake while failing to specifically state what his mistake was. It is obvious that Ferrari does not want him to share that a mechanical issue caused this spinout. The commentators lauding Leclerc’s supposed honesty is misplaced. They should be discussing what a great team player he is.
