F1Weekly Podcast # 955
NASIR AND THE HOST ARE STILL ENJOYING THE DUTCH TREAT WE WERE GIVEN AT ZANDVOORT LCH IS NOW CALM AND CARRYING ON AND THE FERRARI SAGA AS PAINFUL AS IT IS WILL CONTINUE WITH BINNOTO REFUSING TO CHANGE ANYTHING! BRAVO!
Mattia Binotto, Team Principal & Managing Director
“We cannot be satisfied with our race today. After performing well in qualifying, the car did not have the pace to win and unfortunately, that’s not the first time in recent races. We have to analyse everything in great detail, because the difference in performance between qualifying and the race demonstrates that we did not manage to exploit all the potential in the car.
Binotto: The call for Sainz to pit was too late!
Now we go to Monza where we can expect a warm welcome from our tifosi. We know we can always count on their support and it will be great to finally see the grandstands at the Autodromo packed out, after the limitation on spectator numbers last year because of Covid. We will do our utmost to make our supporters proud of us, even if we already know it won’t be an easy race, given the performance level of our competitors.”
Carlos Sainz #55
“Today we had a very tough race and things just didn’t go our way. The set-up we went for didn’t work as expected and after picking up some damage at the start with Hamilton we lacked a bit of pace overall.
Carlos Sainz was “in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
Obviously, the late call for the first pit stop cost us a lot of race time and afterwards I got the penalty for an unsafe release, even though there was nothing else I could have done in that situation as I was trying to avoid hitting a McLaren mechanic in front of me. A tough one, but we’ll now focus on the next race at home in Monza.”
