Briatore reacts indignantly to Binotto statements: 'Unbelievable'

It was not Leclerc who crossed the line as the winner of the Italian Grand Prix, but rival Max Verstappen. The race was finished behind the safety car, leaving Leclerc no chance to fight in the closing stages of the race.

Earlier in the race, the Monegasque already faced bad luck, as the team called him in during the virtual safety car period when Sebastian Vettel stalled with engine problems. However, the VSC was lifted quite soon, preventing Leclerc from taking advantage of a shorter pit stop.

Briatore understands nothing of strategy Ferrari

In the Monza paddock, Briatore reacts indignantly to Ferrari's result in conversation with F1-Insider. "It's unbelievable how Ferrari manages to blow it every race", he says. According to team boss Mattia Binotto, calling Leclerc in early for a set of mediums was the right decision. It did mean that the Monegasque would have to come in for a second pit stop, but according to Binotto it was the only way to have a chance of victory against Red Bull Racing's fast car. Briatore responded to the Ferrari team boss' comments: "Unbelievable!"
