F1 GP Baku: Double Ferrari Disaster: Sainz and Leclerc, Out

It seemed impossible to do anything worse than Monaco. After what happened in the Principality, it could only get better for Ferrari. But the opposite happened. Ferrari once again aspired to win a close battle with Red Bull. Despite being the perfect area for top speeds from Milton Keynes, the red car showed that it could confront Verstappen and Perez. Leclerc won the pole, Sainz from 4th place, with the option of anything happening in Baku, nothing is natural. But Ferrari’s Sunday was a new failure. disaster. terrible. His two cars left two Red Bulls free to add a double. This time, two reliability failures left the Italians frozen.

Sainz came out on the 9th lap

Carlos Sainz approached glory from Saturday’s fight for poles, starting from 4th place this Sunday and finally having to leave on lap 9 when he was alive in all the fights. The Spaniards said on the radio that he saw how his Ferrari laid him down at the beginning of the fight because of a possible problem with the braking system.

The driver from Madrid reached Turn 3 and heard a strange noise. The car didn’t brake as it should, and Carlos had to park the car in a loophole just outside that turn.

Therefore, Carlos added a third abandonment in eight races. Carlos arrived in Baku in 5th place in the World Cup, leading by 83 points and 42 points. The new Zero is a true cold water jug ​​for Sainz, who came from second place in Monaco in a great race. This abandonment keeps him far away from his head.

Leclerc, engine failure

Also on lap 9, Ferrari made an error at Charles Leclerc’s stop and completed the cursed lap, and Monaco lost seconds. However, Leclerc was competing for a completely different strategy than the two Red Bulls that seemed to have gone to the two stops. Any “safety” could leave the race in his hands. The two Red Bulls quickly pitted in and Charles had to take the lead and push to open enough gaps for the next pit stop. But that was when Ferrari’s No. 16 said enough on lap 21.

Leclerc has added a second retirement in the last three races due to what appears to be an engine failure. In Barcelona, ​​it already happened to him, and his victory was virtually in his hands, leading and abandoning. This time his car broke down again. It may be a day full of red, but in the end it was a black day across the high mountains.
