Team boss Mattia Binotto said Ferrari’s car was “not working as expected” in the race as he explained the Italian outfit’s thinking behind the decision to switch Leclerc onto the hard tyre. “So we fitted the hard tyres at the time because it was a 30-lap stint and we were trying to protect position on Max and it would have been too long certainly on the soft. Our choice and our analysis was, yes, it would be difficult at the start of the stint but it would come back by the end.
“So the car today was not performing well. And when the car is not performing, it doesn’t make the tyres work as they should and certainly not the hard tyres.”
