As usual after every Grand Prix, Italian sports journalist and author Leo Turrini was invited by Calciomercato.com to talk about the main events of Formula 1. The well-known journalist, in detail, analyzed the situation at Ferrari following the disappointing double retirement in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit.
“This Ferrari team now reminds me of Zibi ‘Boniek. The Polish ace of Juve and Roma. He played very well in the Cup matches, less well in the league. And Gianni Agnelli defined him Bello di Notte (Beauty at night)… The Ferrari driven by Charles Leclerc is beautiful only on Saturdays, on the flying lap. Then unfortunately Sunday comes and as Inspector Montalbano said, I salute you and I am. Verstappen and Red Bull now have the championship in hand. What is happening? Oh, it’s trivial but it’s always true: a car has to go to the end! In Maranello they pulled out a very fast car and this is a merit, God forbid. Only, I repeat, after Saturday comes Sunday”.
About Charles Leclerc
“Is Charles Leclerc ‘going into depression’? In short, Carletto is a phenomenon, with his pole numbers he is impressive everybody, then either the engine leaves him by foot or the team sinks him to the back as in Monte Carlo. He could have scored 75 points in the last three races, he collected 12. Do you think it’s possible? ”.
On the current situation
“Keep in mind that Carlos Sainz’s car broke too. And the Ferrari engines also broke down on the customer teams, Alfa and Haas. The impression is that when it came to force to keep up with Red Bull, Ferrari skipped the bench, in every sense. I mean the bench where the power unit runs. Can I also mention a song by Drupi? So small and fragile is this Ferrari. Obviously small in terms of organization, because if you are fast (and I repeat that the F1-75 with Charles Leclerc on board is very fast!) you can’t break it like that”.

Social media on the hunt for the culprit
“I can imagine. There will be a queue to demand the immediate removal of Mattia Binotto. It is a classic situation, in Italy we are all football technical coaches and engineers in the racing department. Heads have been rolling in Ferrari for years. And obviously you don’t win anything like that. This is a bleak situation, but forty days ago the Maranello technicians were all amazing. I think it is essential to keep our heads cool. I have a legendary film by Steven Spielberg in mind. Which one? Save Private Leclerc.”
