P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari F1 boss Fred Vasseur has admitted that the decision to run Charles Leclerc on a one-stop strategy at the United States Grand Prix was a “mistake”.
Leclerc started from pole position, but dropped to sixth place after making a one-stop pit stop on Lap 23. Unfortunately, he was later disqualified due to excessive plank wear on his car. It was a tough weekend for Leclerc, as he had been struggling with a tooth infection and had to take painkillers. On the other hand, Sainz had a solid race, starting from fourth and finishing in the same position, just a few seconds behind Norris. However, the team made a mistake with Leclerc’s strategy, as they didn’t have a clear picture of the situation before the race and made the wrong choice. Leclerc believes there was something wrong with their calculations and the team admits they made an error in their numbers. They will now analyze their mistake and learn from it for future races.
