La apuesta de Ferrari en boxes en el GP de Australia fue una “decisión consciente” – Chicago Tribune

By STEWART BELL

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc says not entering the boxes during the first virtual safety car period — which would likely cost a better price than the third — was a “conscientious decision” as the Scuderia hoped for another, more promising opportunity in the career.

Leclerc launched into the lead in the first curve, with a thunderous exit from the four points of the parrilla, and fought with George Russell, of Mercedes, so that the leader dethroned the virtual safety car in the Vuelta 12 thanks to Red Bull stopped by Isack Hadjar. An opportunity that several Mercedes cars offer to enter boxes with a “bar”.

But Leclerc maintains that the Ferrari guy hasn’t proven it wasn’t a mistake; In changing, Ferrari’s decision is based on the team creating the most safety car equipment to advance the race.

“Ne m’arrepiento”, Leclerc demonstrated during the official press conference after the race. “Fue a decision made, a decision made and conscientious. If miras dede (the first free training) has now, in each session, there was a car that she had decided, at least one car.

“We have a good chance that it will be the only VSC in the race, and that’s why we think it will be the most important for us to hope in the other one – and it’s always an apuesta. We think we don’t know that I’m going to pass.

“The reality is that we have other VSCs after and one that is particularly well located. But, unfortunately, and so, for us, the entrance to the boxes is closed and we cannot approve it, and we also have a little trouble in this feeling, but there was another conscious and truthful decision for me to board”.
