A few days after the conclusion of the Monaco Grand Prix The controversy towards the box wall of the Ferrariguilty of committing a strategic ‘suicide’ that cost a potential victory to Charles Leclerc in the home race. The Monegasque himself, after shouting in the radio team, hinted all his nervousness even in the post-race statements, stating that these errors “Were not possible”.
But while the majority of Ferrari drivers and commentators in general support and understand Leclerc’s anger, there are others who have called on the number 16 to stay calm, such as former drivers Ralf Schumacher and Damon Hill: While the former recalled the mistakes made by the 24-year-old in previous races, which is why Leclerc should moderate his tone, the 1996 world champion underlined what the team might feel to see his driver vent like this publicly: “I think Ferrari has enough experience to understand its driver – said the British a Sky Sports News – but it is also true that the latter should openly criticize his team only after many controversial episodes against him before it becomes a public relations problem for the team “. In this sense, Hill recalled what happened in 1991 with Alain Prost, when the Frenchman was fired from the Maranello house after publicly comparing his car to a ‘truck’: “If there is a driver against Ferrari, Ferrari will always win. So, technically or diplomatically, you have to be a little careful“.
About the Cavallino, the former Williams driver finally focused on the complaints presented by the team to the Race Direction regarding what happened in the Monaco GP, during which the two cars of Perez and Verstappen would have crossed the pit lane line on their return to the track. For the son of another world champion like Graham, however, such protests would not have had a solid basis: “I think there has been a little climb on the mirrorshonestly – he added – after all, if you lose a race, appeal because someone has just crossed the tail of a yellow line it is a somewhat weak thesis“.
