'Seems bizarre to me that an hour before the race they said that can't fix this, impossible.'
Peter Windsor finds it “bizarre” that Ferrari gave up on fixing Carlos Sainz’s fuel system issue an hour before the Qatar Grand Prix given teams have resolved similar issues on the grid.
That came as a surprise to former Ferrari team manager Peter Windsor who noted that in the past such issues have even been fixed while the car sat on the grid. “And of course, I’ve been around in Formula One for long enough to remember the occasions when fuel pressure problems, fuel metering unit problems, all these things have been solved on the grid and the car got off.“I can only assume it has something to do with having to get the tank out of the car or something horrendous like that.”
Although Windsor concedes the Lusail circuit does not play to the SF-23’s strengths, he said that was “very disappointing” for Leclerc.
