Athletistic/Formula-1. Ferrari chief strategist Iñaki Rueda says Carlos Sainz’s retirement could have prevented Charles Leclerc from winning the Austrian Grand Prix. The poor tactical decision of the Scuderia in virtual safety car mode could cost the Monegasque dearly.

“Unfortunately when Carlos was about to overtake Verstappen his engine failed and that led to a virtual safety car. At that point we had to make a choice, send Leclerc to a standstill at the pit and change to a new set of medium tires or stay on the old “hard” There were only a few seconds between them, it was important to make the right decision The fact that Max then wore out tires convinced us to send Charles to a pit stop and we were sure Verstappen would do the same.

This weekend we managed to make five pit stops and the last one was no exception. We spent less than three seconds”, — quotes the words of Rueda Racingnews365.
