Binotto spoke about Ferrari’s strategic mistakes in the first part of the season
” We are disappointed. Throughout the weekend, Red Bull was faster. They managed to show all their assets, as well as their ability to develop the car. We will have to deal with tire wear, because that also affected the speed.
We are unhappy. We went to Belgium hoping for a better result, but you have to admit that Red Bull is faster than us. Now we have to focus on ourselves and find the causes of the problems, including with a view to preparing for next season. If we don’t have an advantage in the engine, then we should think about it.
Now Verstappen’s backlog is big, we won’t be able to win it back, even if we win all the remaining races. We can only hope that Max doesn’t end up in some of them, but counting on that is wrong. If you look at our speed difference with the Red Bull cars, then we have to prepare not so much for the next races, but for the next season,” quotes Sky Sports Binotto.
