Ferrari’s best result at Silverstone was Charles Leclerc’s ninth place. Monegasque explained this result with a large number of fast corners on the British track, which are not suitable for the SF-23.
Charles Leclerc: “We knew that Silverstone would be one of the worst circuits of the season for us because of the fast corners, which are our weak point. The lack of pace made it very difficult for us to do anything, but from the outside it looked like we were out of luck.
The safety car left at the wrong time for me and helped a lot of other riders. Ultimately it happens in racing, but the main problem is we didn’t have the pace.
I wouldn’t say our tires were more worn than our competitors. Only Mercedes and McLaren were faster than us. We knew fast corners were good for McLaren because we saw it in Austria. We expected McLaren to be fast at Silverstone, but we didn’t think it would be this fast.”
