Binotto finally wakes up: 'There is something wrong that we need to address'

Charles Leclerc crossed the finish line in third place at the Zandvoort circuit, while Carlos Sainz finished only eighth after a failed pit stop and a time penalty following an unsafe release. The Italian team will now have to focus mainly on P2 in the Constructors' Championship, but even that may be a difficult task. After all, Mercedes looked fast this weekend.

"The key is we have not been fast enough. If you look at the quali pace of yesterday were hoping for a better result today, but the speed of car was not great - especially on the medium and hard," Binotto began to Sky Sports.

Binotto: 'Something is wrong'

Leclerc made a pit stop just before the VSC caused by Yuki Tsunoda, but Verstappen was able to take advantage. "Maybe a bit unlucky with Charles in the pitstop with the safety car but I don't think it would be enough," he said. " Three bad races in a row - Hungary, Spa and here that I think we aren't exploiting the full potential of the car. The potential is there. It was the case at the start of the season but not now. I think if I look at it, it was a late call. No time to react."

"There is something wrong that we need to address. Nothing to do with the TD. In Hungary, I said we weren't good enough. Maybe we need to look at the package we introduced that aren't balanced today," said the Ferrari team boss.
