F1, Ferrari: Charles Leclerc thunders on strategy

The Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc in view of the Grand Prix in Austin returns to talk about the strategic mistake that the race in Mexico cost him: "I don't like to talk about what could have happened in Mexico if we hadn't stopped twice. We know that on that circuit it is difficult to follow. The step we had in the first stint was positive, and I think many things have been positive ”, are his words to Sky.

"The performance was once again, but we must ensure that these things no longer happen – the Monegasque said peremptorily -. And I have to move better in these decisions. I talked to the team to optimize our discussions and improve things for the next weekend. "

"Last year I was fighting for 12th or 13th place, this year for the podium instead. I always want to go high and this season represents so much. I will give everything again", Promised the pilot of the Principality.

Less regrets from Sebastian Vettel: "We have seen the data and reviewed the race. When Lewis stopped for our prediction it was early to finish the race: they found the leadership and when you have the chance to win you try. They took a risk, there was a performance delta and we recovered in the final, but not enough because the tires collapsed before, but I don't think it depended on a lack of strategyat least not at all ".

As for the United States GP: "It's difficult make predictions about our level of competitiveness here, we will understand it only in the car. This is not a simple track, you have to balance everything between a very fast first part, then a slow one and another fast one at the end, but the important thing is to have a good feeling with the car and ours is strong and efficient ".

"Our step? It is clear that in qualifying we have a strong pace and we fight thick for the front row, while a race slips back a bit and we do not confirm the pace we have with fresh tires for a few laps: it is something we are working on ”.
