“I love this team, but what happened today is not good. I have no words, we can’t do something like that. “Charles Leclerc is furious after the Monaco GP in Monte Carlo. The Ferrari driver retraces the mess that probably cost him his success, the second pit stop.” It hurts – he tells Sky -. There are a lot of races and we have the pace, but we can’t afford to finish fourth, when we had a 6 “lead over second. It hurts and what’s more at home. We lose a lot of points. I need the help of the team, today we took a wrong decision before and another after. There have been many mistakes. “
“We made one mistake, maybe two“It is the mea culpa of Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team principal.” It was a mistake to stop him, we had to leave him on the track to defend the leadership and then switch directly to slick tires. These are errors that we will analyze and that will make us grow. These are events that can happen, if they allow us to become stronger as well as they do. “That said – he added – if Latifi doesn’t block Sainz for half a lap and steps aside, Carlos wins the race.”
“For us it’s not over here”. Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team principal, after having made mea culpa for the mistake on Leclerc, announces a possible appeal on the result of the Red Bulls at the Monaco GP. “Verstappen certainly touched the yellow line, perhaps Perez too,” he told Sky about a possible infringement coming out of the pit lane after the tire change. “For us the race is not over – he added -, we have already asked and will ask for explanations because the notes of the Clerk of the Course must be followed and they say to stay to the right of the line. For us it is obvious”
“It was a really crazy race, but we did everything we had to do. Going on up to fit the ‘slicks’ was the right decision, then I got out behind a dubbed car and that ruined our plans. It was the right choice to try to take the lead, but then I had to face 12 corners behind a lapped car: that’s where I lost the victory. “So, on Sky, Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, after second place in the Monaco GP , in Monte Carlo. “Graining? I had it too, entering the tunnel was difficult, I went close to try overtaking but, if I had braked later I would have gone out “, concludes the Spaniard.
“It was a dream and I realized it: it is dedicated to my whole country”. Sergio Perez wins for the first time this season, and he does it in Montecarlo. “After a race at your home – says the Mexican from Red Bull, first at the finish line of a GP of Monaco characterized by sluggishness and accidents – there is nothing better than winning in Monte Carlo. In the final laps it was difficult to keep to mind Sainz, but everything went well “.
