Ferrari leader supports choice concerning Leclerc that resulted in plunge at Zandvoort Grand Prix race

In the world of Formula 1, the Dutch Grand Prix saw a series of developments that have sparked conversation among fans and team members alike. Two separate matters have been making headlines: the incident involving driver Antonelli and Leclerc, and the pit stop strategy implemented by Ferrari during the race.

Frederic Vasseur, team principal of Ferrari, addressed the pit stop strategy during the Dutch Grand Prix, stating that the call was made with the intention of improving Ferrari's position in the race. Vasseur further explained that the pit stop call was the only option Ferrari had at that moment to fight with Hadjar.

However, Vasseur's statement contrasts with Charles Leclerc's opinion about the pit stop timing during the race. While Vasseur respects Leclerc's viewpoint, he disagrees, expressing that the pit stop call during the Dutch Grand Prix was the right decision at the moment, but acknowledging it could appear differently when considering the cool down lap.

Despite the controversy, Vasseur did not elaborate on any specific changes in the pit stop strategy for future races. He also did not discuss the specific reasons for the poor timing of the pit stop call during the Dutch Grand Prix.

Meanwhile, the incident involving Antonelli and Leclerc in the Dutch Grand Prix ended Leclerc's race. However, the article does not provide details about the incident itself.

Regarding Verstappen's further career plans, the article does not provide any details. Vasseur did not comment on the impact of the pit stop call during the Dutch Grand Prix on the overall race result, nor did he mention any plans for changes in the pit stop strategy for future races.

Vasseur did express that it's always easy to have a different perspective after the race. He emphasised that making decisions during a race can be complex and that it's crucial to consider all factors at the time of the decision. Despite the ongoing discussions, Vasseur remains focused on improving Ferrari's performance in the upcoming races.
