The Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto he commented to the microphones of Sky Sport F1 the Canadian Grand Prix won by Max Verstappen ahead of Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, on the other hand, moved up to fifth from 19th position.
Ko di Perez and the reliability issue
“This season you have to attack every race, even if this was perhaps a weekend in which we were more defensive for us. We started from the bottom and had to minimize the disadvantage in terms of points. In reality, we gained something in the Constructors’ championship, in a weekend in which we thought we were going to suffer we gained, even if little, so that’s fine. Reliability is a problem for everyone. It is never taken for granted and it is difficult to manage. This time it happened to Perez, other times to us. We have to stay focused on ourselves. We know that there are problems and they must be solved as soon as possible. Now having two fresh power units will give Charles breath. Over the coming weekends we will focus only on the more performing aspects ”.
The comeback of Leclerc and the details Sainz missed to get the victory
“From the bottom you always want to overcome but you don’t always succeed. Even at the wall we were patient not to react at times to his comments, normal at that moment of the race, to maximize the result. He finished fifth starting from the back, I think it’s a good result. Sainz? He is gaining confidence. He knows the car better and drives better than at the beginning of the season. His race pace was already good on Friday. We knew that if he had passed Fernando immediately he could have fought and he did. Too bad because today we were a little faster. 1-2 tenths are not enough to overtake, but he paid for yesterday’s qualifying. Once again, perfect weekends are needed to win. Carlos paid for yesterday’s qualifying more than today’s driving in the race. He was good. He kept pace, he immediately tried it on the restart and then waited intelligently for the last 2-3 laps. There was a chance but he made a mistake at the hairpin. But he was very close. It wasn’t his turn, but the opportunity for victory will soon come ”.
Silverstone and the expectation of a sensitive update from Red Bull
“To Silverstone to win? We go to every race to win. Then Charles has new engines so the next four races before the break will be important. I expect Red Bull to bring a big development to Silverstone. We will have to understand what they will have brought compared to what we will do. Then we will judge on the track. What’s new for us? I did not say this”.
Pit stop to improve
“It takes perfect weekends. They weren’t yesterday in qualifying and they weren’t today with the pit stop. We will have to look at this because now in a systematic way there is something on that front that is not perfect ”.
