As the F1 race at the temple of Speed has come to an end, it didn’t see the usual ending that the Ferrari boss might have liked. Mattia Binotto, the team principal of the Italian team, slammed the FIA for ending the Monza race behind the safety car.

The race at Monza saw Max Verstappen finish in P1, followed by Charles Leclerc and George Russell, all behind the safety car triggered by Daniel Ricciardo at Lap 47. However, Binotto isn’t particularly happy with the outcome and has made his voice heard at the post-race interview.

Talking about the safety car decision, the Italian team CEO stated, “I do not understand why it took so long to release the cars between the safety car and the leader. So, there is no reason to wait for so long.”

Binotto further asserted, “There is a minimum lap-time for the cars who are released, to speak. They cannot simply go flat out around the track. We know there are yellow flags around.”

How did the Monza race turn out for Ferrari?

McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo retired his car by the side of the track citing an engine failure. This brought in the safety car that stayed until the end of the Monza race.

Ferrari fans are particularly unhappy at this decision as they thought Leclerc might have a go at the Dutchman nearing the last lap with a charged battery and a fresh set of tires. The fans have let their opinions out on Twitter.
