The Grand Prix finished under Safety Car conditions, denying Charles Leclerc of Ferrari a chance to fight for the win in the closing stages of the race. The Tifosi were livid at the FIA and Red Bull as the ending was in stark contrast to the 2021 F1 Abu Dhabi GP. In the race last year, Max Verstappen was given a single lap after the Safety Car ended to fight for the win, which he ultimately achieved.
The Ferrari boss’s excuse was not accepted by Verstappen’s fans, who pointed out that only the Dutchman was booed and not George Russell, who finished third.
Here are some fan tweets reacting to Binotto’s excuses:
Ferrari boss accepts team has not been the best this season
Mattia Binotto attended the Saturday press conference of the 2022 F1 Italian GP. He shared his views on Charles Leclerc claiming pole position and how special it was to race in Monza, the hometown of the Prancing Horse. Upon being asked what to expect from Ferrari, he replied that it has been a disappointing year for the Italian outfit.
The Italian outfit have one of the best cars on the grid this season, but strategic mistakes have cost them a lot. With six races to go, they are looking to close the distance to Red Bull while also keeping Mercedes at bay.
