Another race weekend comes and goes and Ferrari is left licking its wounds again. At the Dutch GP, it was Carlos Sainz who caught the bad luck bullet. The Spaniard’s botched pit stop where he spent an eternity is just one example of many such incidents.

A five-second penalty to top to with it made Sainz’s race go from bad to worst. Poorly formulated strategies and unreliability have plagued Ferrari’s campaign. The team was challenging for the championship, but not anymore!

There have been a lot of rumors floating around the paddock about a change in management, but there is little evidence of it. A change in management could be the answer to Ferrari’s troubles.

Leclerc has even showcased his frustration towards the team openly in the media, stemming from poor strategies. However, even after multiple disastrous calls leading to points lost, there hasn’t been a hint of Mattia Binotto being axed.

Although hypothetically when asked which driver would make an excellent boss in the future, both Leclerc and Sainz had the same answer.

Sainz instantly replied, “Sebastian (Vettel).” To which Leclerc added, “Oh, I was thinking the same.”
