F1: Ferrari, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton battle for crumbs

Cross messages by radio, complaints of the pilots, displays to the engineers … The Scuderia lived a novel in the Miami GP while fighting for a small prize.

It’s Ferrari. Yes, the most important team in the history of Formula 1. The most presences team (1,104 races), triumphs (248), Pole Positions (253), pilot titles (15) and builders (16). It is the brand in which all pilots dream someday represent and that is always behind the maximum stars. For this year, in a negotiation requested directly by John Elkann, LRossa went for Lewis Hamilton, seven times world champion. They opened the checkbook and made a large investment of 48 million pounds per year (about 63 million dollars) to add it to Team and sit next to Charles Leclerc. Too much paraphernalia and then be in a strip and loosen in the Miami GP for the seventh place!

Radio messages, team orders to their pupils, stars displays … First of all you have to say that Ferrari has a lot of pilot for so little car. The SF-25 was born badly, it is not competitive and in Miami it was the fifth force, behind McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull and Williams. Holding such a structure to be so far from the tip, the place to which Ferrari should always point, is, above all, a disappointment for the Tifosi and a disaster for the popes.

Leclerc and Hamilton struggled for crumbs in the semi -permanent of Florida. A seventh place, almost a minute of the leader, Piastri. The engineers bet on a different strategy: the Monegasco came out with middle tires and then went hard, while English was in reverse. Averaging the race, the heptacampeón was faster than Leclerc and in Ferrari more than one trembled his pear to give the order. It is that, of course, they have the spoiled child of the Scuderia, which belongs to the structure from the lower ones, and the great champion. No one gave the logic order to let Hamilton pass, with faster tires. And the messages began. The English said: “Do you want me to sit here the whole race?” The answer: “We want to keep the DRS for Charles.” Tour 39 LEWIS’s first attack falls: “This is not a good team job, it’s all I am going to say.” A turn later, the British continued: “In China I took off from the middle.”

Finally came the order to change positions and Lewis shot: “Take at rest to have tea, come on!” From there, the Monegasque claims arrived. “I need Lewis to go faster, I have only dirty air.” In Vuelta 52 they tell Hamilton that they will change positions anotherz. With Leclerc again seventh and Lewis, eighth, they warn the ex -mercedes behind it was Carlos Sainz, 1S4. “Do you also want me to miss it?” He replied.

Ferrari scratched the pot to get a dagger of points, is room in builders and 152 points of the leader, McLaren! After the race, the pilots faced the media and something said, not much. “I don’t know what to say. Obviously we’ll talk internally, we have to do better, we need to do better. We change position, we complicate, I don’t know what we have allowed to say,” said Leclercwith fear of saying something that complicates it. Hamilton, meanwhile, said: “I lost time and we fought among us and that is normal to generate wear in the tires. A faster definition was necessary, it is frustrating to fight among us instead of going to look for the front car. Anyway, I don’t know if something had changed. We will take this internally. ”

The Scuderia has planned to carry an update package to Icola, the first of the two races that will be played in Italy, before stands full of typhosi that expect the team to fight for victories and do not arm novels for crumbs.
