According to Damon Hill, the Leclerc Sainz duo lacks consistency

Damon Hill compared Ferrari’s situation to a man running with one leg, given the complexity, for both drivers, of having a good weekend at the same time.

Carlos Sainz established himself as a leader in qualifying last Saturday. Taking advantage of Sergio Perez’s absence in Q3, he secured second place on the starting grid. However, the Spaniard lost ground during the race and ultimately finished in fifth position.

Inconstancy

On the other side of the garage, Charles Leclerc had a nightmare weekend. The Monegasque was eliminated in Q1, which led the team to make him start from the pit lane after modifying the rear of his car. The number 16 driver finished 11th, narrowly missing out on points.

Damon Hill admitted that Ferrari seems to have been facing a recurring issue, namely that the Scuderia drivers are experiencing complications.

What can we say about Ferrari? When one is good, the other one is not. It’s like they’re racing with only one leg all the time, declared the 1996 world champion.

A difficult hierarchy to identify

Besides Ferrari’s setbacks, Damon Hill believes that it is difficult to identify a clear hierarchy behind Red Bull. The form of each team seems to vary depending on the track.

“« It’s a strange season, in a certain way, because we have noticed a big disparity between the apparent form on one circuit and the same form, or the same expectations, on another circuit »,” commented the former F1 driver. “« Everyone is scratching their head, except for Red Bull, who is superior on all circuits.”
