Ferrari is to blame for Leclerc's mistake

World champion of the 2016 season, Nico Rosberg believes he is for a mistake by Charles Leclerc in the qualifications for the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan, the Ferrari team is to blame for sending both of its racers to the track in the second part of the qualifications on medium hard tires. Leclerc swung into the favorites for the best starting position in Baku with quick times in free practice, and in the first part of the qualifications, but in the middle of the second part, Monačan made a mistake in the eighth turn and collided with protective tires.

He took the blame on himself, but Rosberg thinks it was a mistake by the team. "In the Qualifiers, they wasted a nice opportunity again," said the German on his youtube channel. “It’s amazing how they manage it every time. Leclerc was definitely on his way to the best starting position. He was fast all weekend.

I don't blame him at all, but the team, because in Q2 they decided to be smart and put harder tires on the car. They thought they would gain even more if they started the race on harder tires. Apparently it was an overconfidence that made them all break down. Charles ended up in the wall because the tires had no grip. ”

Rosberg believes that Leclerc's problems deprived us of a good duel between Ferrari and Mercedes. “They wasted all chances for Leclerc to win the best starting position. That's awful. I am very disappointed, because we all wanted Ferrari to come back and drive Mercedes to the limit. ”
