In the world of sensationalist journalism, Ferrari’s recent performance in Formula 1 has been far from impressive. Despite Carlos Sainz’s victory in Australia, their hopes of consistent wins were frustrated in Canada and Spain. Not only were they behind Max Verstappen in his Red Bull, but they also found themselves behind the McLarens and the Mercedes duo.
When uncertainty surrounds Ferrari, fans in Italy turn to Leo Turrini’s poetic column for insights. In his latest article, Turrini expressed his thoughts on the team’s current state: “Allow me to be concise, hoping not to overwhelm you. The true essence of Ferrari lies in Le Mans, where they triumphed with covered wheels in the legendary 24 Hours. However, in Formula 1, their summer started quite wintry!”
“After the disastrous race in Canada, their performance in Barcelona was disappointing. Both in qualifying and in the race, Ferrari proved to be the fourth-best team. Yes, they are slower not only than the dominant Max Verstappen in his Red Bull, but also slower than Norris’ McLaren and the two Mercedes cars.
“Fred Vasseur is not lying when he claims that there is now more balance on the track compared to the past. However, he should explain why, as always, the improvements brought to Ferrari are never enough.”
Turrini continued to analyze Ferrari’s situation: “Last year, their car had impressive speed in one lap, but lacked consistency during the race. Now, the situation has reversed. Ferrari is facing difficulties in qualifying but has improved its overall performance during the race.
“It is crucial to urgently find a balance between these two needs. The quality of French manager Fred Vasseur’s leadership will be put to the test.”
Another topic of discussion after the Spanish Grand Prix was the clash between Sainz and Leclerc, as they fought for position and made contact. This incident further fueled the growing tension between the two drivers. While Leclerc remains in Maranello, Sainz will be replaced by Lewis Hamilton at the end of the season.
With his imminent departure, Sainz is no longer obligated to prioritize the team’s interests. Turrini acknowledged the tense relationship between the Ferrari drivers: “The deterioration of the professional bond between the two drivers, Carletto and Carlitos, is evident. Strong words were exchanged after the race, with Leclerc accusing Sainz of not respecting pre-race agreements. Sainz responded with his own allegations.
“This result was predictable, considering the early announcement of Lewis Hamilton’s arrival. In fact, even at Mercedes, the relationship between driver Russell and Hamilton is far from ideal. However, what is truly disheartening is that these two champions are now forced to fight each other for fifth place. This detail is more embarrassing than any other aspect of the situation.”
In a post-race interview, Vasseur downplayed the disagreement between his drivers, stating that it was important to have a discussion and not draw conclusions based on the first comment made by the driver when getting out of the car.
According to the available data, there were no indications of problems in Charles Leclerc’s car after the contact with Carlos Sainz. The Ferrari team boss believed it was more of a timing issue, with Charles losing approximately half a second at that moment.
Highlighting Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen’s recent victory in the Ferrari 499P hypercar at Le Mans, Turrini, a dedicated Ferrari fan, emphasized that the best Ferrari can be found at Le Mans.
Regarding the winner of the race, Verstappen, who currently leads the 2024 World Championship and has three Formula 1 World Championships, the writer concluded that he is proving himself to be one of the greatest drivers in history.
Turrini concluded his column by stating that those who continue to deny Verstappen’s talent will have a future as comedians, as the driver is destined to achieve numerous victories in the future.
