We evaluated scenarios in which we caught him in the grip. The first goal was to try not to let Max win today. He was our opponent today. It didn’t matter if one or the other of our drivers won in this logic. We were lucky in the final laps. But one is looking for luck. We were there. Carlos was aggressive after the restart following the Safety Car. He would have done all he could to make it regardless of Max’s problems, ”Binotto explained to the microphones of Sky Sport F1.
A perfect Ferrari even in the pits: “Beautiful pit stops today. The boys trained a lot. They have been training with these tires since April 2021 to start understanding how to make perfect tire changes. We reported the problems with the lids to the FIA and they modified them for everyone, because they could not be removed. The mechanics made over 1300 pit stops before Christmas, a sign of dedication to work and to the team, there is a desire to do. I’m happy for everyone in Maranello, on the track and for the drivers. We want to fight on the track meter by meter. Charles had a great race. Today Charles was the best example, defending the position when it was time ”.
