Stop blaming Ferrari for sainz's strategy. He was slow today and there was no way he was ending up ahead of hamilton or even in the points. They rolled the dice with best option they had
I think the problem was not strategy, it was the car. It was just slow (and no, Sainz is not that slow. Remember heโs the only non-Red Bull winner this year, and heโs been really close to Charles all year, Charles being one of the fastest drivers on the grid).
They even had to retire the car at the end, so, something was clearly not working. Maybe they expected to go faster, but realized there was something wrong, and eventually gave up with it. It was a sad end of season for Sainz, who, other than the last two races, has had a really consistent season so far.
I guess the crash fucked up something and there wasn't enough time to find it and fix it
This is what I think too. A pity. Iโm sure he wanted to help the team get second place, but it wasnโt possible. Weโll see what happens next year. Apparently theyโre trying something new.
Can I blame AR for bottas' strategy? I mean the AR didn't have the speed for points but jfc that one stopper was rough to look at, even if the "sc strat" -brainrot was behind it
Considering tsunoda made the one stop work pretty well, I think that it was worth the risk for AR. They were going to finish well outside the points anyway and went for it.
AT is a better car and bottas is certainly not a tire whisperer (at least during his reign in AR), I really don't see how it would've worked without godsent safety cars.
The problem was his qualifying yesterday. He would have been in the points if he started near to Charles. Like a lot of teams there were a lot of team mates with big qualifying gaps going on, so something odd happened on Saturday.
