We review what the country’s major newspapers are saying about Ferrari and what happened last weekend at the Miami Grand Prix:
Corriere della Sera: “An unexpected collapse in Florida. Ferrari made improvements, a new floor, which seemed to work in qualifying. Then, in the race, the usual performance issues resurfaced. Deeper solutions are needed. Vasseur resurrected the phrase Binotto’s habit: “we have understood”.
“Sainz fought with great courage and courage, trying to prevent Ferrari from having these worries and these ups and downs. It also seems that we are in a precarious psychological state. Leclerc was fighting with Magnussen, who has the same engine. SF-23 seems to be technically stagnating. And race after race the hopes of winning the World Cup are fading. Winning is out of the question.”
The Gazzetta dello Sport: “Verstappen goes from monster to Martian. This is Max’s 38th victory, perhaps one of the most special of his career, the one that will remain in the memory of the fans. As soon as the red cars put on the hard tires “, they couldn’t be as fast as with the mids. It’s not a performance problem, but a speed problem, which is not yet good enough to win.”
Sky Italy“This Red Bull is one of the best cars in Formula 1 history, a real Adrian Newey gem. They’re impressive and the Verstappen stuff is crazy. It’s been a weekend to forget for Ferrari and the good feelings and the results from Baku have to come back. The mountain to climb seems eternal and at Imola you have to send a good message to the fans.”
The Republic: “Verstappen is the perfect driver. He was careful at the start as he had the hardest tyres. Kilometer after kilometer he became invincible and went from ninth to first with a comeback that clarified his intentions. Sainz was solid in the first half of the race and then crumbled when a Mercedes passed him.”
auto sprint: “Verstappen could not fail in his mission to win this race. So far he has been superior to the rest of his rivals, including Pérez. For Ferrari, identifying the problem is a step forward, but that does not mean not find a solution The SF-23 is not going well on Sunday and it is obvious, you must not have seen the race in Miami.”
“For a long time people have applauded the mechanics of Red Bull and it seems to be the key to their success. The SF-23 doesn’t have the mechanics in place and that was evident after Leclerc’s crash on Saturday. If we look at idle, the rear end dances a lot more than the Red Bull, it generates more rebound and causes the driver to lose control.”
