Problem at Ferrari exposed: "That's where it goes wrong"

With Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, Ferrari has two excellent drivers this season who are capable of fighting at the front. According to Christijan Albers, however, the drivers are also at a great disadvantage, he tells in the Formula 1 podcast of De Telegraaf.

In the opening race in Bahrain, Leclerc and Sainz managed to cross the finish line as the first two. It gave the Italians a lot of confidence, but in the last races several cracks could be observed. For example, Sainz did not finish the last two Grands Prix.

Albers argues that this is partly due to the internal struggle at Ferrari. "Sainz wants to be better than Leclerc and Leclerc wants to be better than Sainz," Albers analyzes. "They push each other so much that they make mistakes. You can see that, because Sainz flies off every now and then."

Leclerc makes wrong assessment in Imola

Leclerc was in third place for a long time in the Imola GP, so Ferrari decided to go in and go for the fastest race lap. Meanwhile, the Monegasque saw frontrunner Sergio Perez continue to pull away. Leclerc then started to push more. "You can see that Leclerc made the last step to keep up with him. That's where it goes wrong." It caused Leclerc to spin and lose unnecessary points.
