Scuderia Ferrari gained in opposition to all expectations within the Italian Grand Prix on the Monza circuit due to the one-stop technique. The Prancing Horse achieved a very “miraculous” feat that caught McLaren without warning.
Whereas Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris made two pit stops, the 2 Ferrari drivers stopped solely as soon as. Carlos Sainz revealed how Ferrari managed to make this technique work, which finally led Charles Leclerc to victory on the Monza GP.
“I believe it was within the 10-15 laps or so of the second stint after we realized that the degradation on the hards wasn’t large,” defined the Spaniard to the media.
“As quickly because the others stopped, the tires had been nearly worn out. After which, for some cause, Charles and I entered a section of excessive degradation on the hards. Then, miraculously, they recovered. And that’s what allowed us to make it to the tip,” he continued.
Driver #55 identified that there was a second within the race when tire administration was important, however the final ten laps had been decisive: “We maintained a good tempo till the tip.”
Ferrari group principal Frederic Vasseur added that the Maranello group had to decide on between making one or two stops. And it was Carlos Sainz who first realized that the one-stop technique would work.
“In this type of race with 53 laps, you possibly can take into consideration making one cease. Whereas in some instances, you may take into consideration making two. Carlos anticipated a bit extra that we may make it with only one cease. Maybe unconsciously, you assume that and push rather less,” stated the group principal on the finish of the Italian Grand Prix.
