Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur praised Charles Leclerc’s two-stop strategy at the Formula 1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, calling it “the perfect call”, as Leclerc went from 11th to finish 6th with an aggressive but calculated drive. The SF-25 showed improvement in race trim at Imola, with Lewis Hamilton finishing fourth after a late Safety Car shuffle. Despite the option to pit for new Soft tires during the Safety Car period, Leclerc stayed out due to uncertainty about tire degradation, a decision Vasseur believed was right. Leclerc agreed with the call and acknowledged the risk of losing time with a double-stack pit stop. Ferrari’s strategy adjustment for the Safety Car was considered successful, with Leclerc allowed to push early on for an impressive charge through the field at Imolar. Vasseur confirmed that Leclerc’s pit stops were on target and commented on the need to balance degradation risk in long stints on the Hards at Imola.
