In Baku, Charles Leclerc started from pole, but withdrew from the race, as did his teammate Carlos Sainz. The Italian sports press reacted emotionally to the weekend’s results…
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Ferrari’s chances are fading with the smoke from yet another failed Leclerc engine. Monegask was traditionally fast until the engine gave out. A big blow to the team and the fans. For Verstappen, the season is going quite easy and Ferrari is getting harder with every race. †
Corriere dello Sport: “Less than 24 hours went from pole position to a crushing defeat. Ferrari stops, Verstappen wins. No trustworthiness and sadness on their faces.
Tuttosport: “Maranello, we have a problem! In Monaco, Ferrari was criticized for poor strategy, but the real weakness is the reliability of the power plant.”
La Stampa: “Verstappen achieved maximum results with minimal effort. For Ferrari, the defeat in Baku will have negative consequences in the long term and for Leclerc the title is at stake.”
Corriere della Sera: “An embarrassing failure after a protruding post hurt Leclerc painfully.”
La Republica: “Ferrari’s power plant is a big step forward compared to previous seasons, but this progress comes at a high price. Is Ferrari risking too much for more power? Team boss Mattia Binotto denies this, but Ferrari’s shame in Baku must be explained.”
