“We have a plan. You are on plan A.”
Stupid fucking comment. What was Lewis’s last engineer, I didn’t bother learning his name. Same vibe right there.
Strategy is very important in F1. There is a huge difference between Brrrr-Brrrr-Wrooom-Brrrr and Brrrr-Wroooom-Brrrr-Brrrr!
Seriously, I think Ferrari has lost like 3 titles on strategy mistakes alone. More than engineering talent, they need decision makers.
I think Ferrari has gotten a bit better since Vasseur took over, but they still blunder a lot. In this race they deployed a one-stop strategy for both cars, when they absolutely should have brought one of them in during the VSC to keep a check on Russell. It’s frustrating, as their cars have pace this year and the new regs have changed the game on strategy to keep things much closer. This was just the first race, so hopefully they’ll iron out things as the season progresses.
Keep your 'ead down.
