Sebastian Vettel accused Ferrari of messing up with a strategy that made no sense on Sunday, although the unhappy German did not help his own race by spinning at the first corner and dropping to last. ‘I mean why would you put the hard for 10 laps and put the medium for 20 laps? Vettel had said earlier in the weekend that he had run out of answers to explain why he was having such a hard time with the car. Ferrari’s review of the race said, perhaps pointedly, that Leclerc’s result was the result of ‘strategy and bravura’. ‘Sebastian’s position was the result of his first lap incident,’ said team boss Mattia Binotto. Vettel is 13th in the standings after five races, with 10 points to Leclerc’s 45.
