The penalty for Ferrari is ready, with F1 fans in shock at the accusations against the Cavallino.
There is no racing team in the entire world that is more loved and appreciated than the Ferrari, with the Red one being the absolute and most glittering symbol of F1. Unfortunately, the successes are slow in coming, with the last World Cup won dating back to 2007, but the future seems to be bright.
In 2024, Ferrari has demonstrated that it can break away from the competition of Mercedes and Aston Martin, as well as McLaren which managed to stay ahead of the Cavallino for the first time in China. Red Bull’s chase towards dominance is still long, but it finally seems to be possible to show the light at the end of the tunnel.
The start of the season saw a Carlos Sainz brilliant, eager to prove that Maranello were wrong to let him go in favor of Lewis Hamilton. But now it seems to be back in vogue Charles Leclercwith the Monegasque who demonstrated in China that he knows how to overcome in the best possible way the problems of a car that was not at ease on that circuit.
The Red team in China has fallen back into darkness, because the gap with the Red Bull it was huge and for the first time it also saw itself overtaken by another team, with second place for Lando Norris in McLaren. So there is great anticipation for the future of the Cavallino, but in the meantime there are those who do not seem to have taken some decisions from the FIA in the best possible way.
Krack doesn’t agree: “Ferrari should have been penalised”
The one who is certainly not having a season at the top is Aston Martin. The British manufacturer had made a great leap forward at the start of the last World Championship, only to then melt like snow in the sun during the course of the season. The new year did not start under a lucky star, but the Team Principal Mike Krack he doesn’t seem to be too happy with the FIA’s management.
The latter spoke about it recently, as he reports in an interview with autosport.com, explaining how from one’s point of view how the Aston Martin received excessive penalties, while Ferrari had a few more advantages. First of all Krack wants to underline the fact that Alonso suffered a 10 second penalty in Melbourne, despite the absence of contact with Russell.
Then in Shanghai the advanced single-seater is rear-ended Stroll, following a sharp slowdown, but in the end it is still Aston Martin that is penalized. “Look what happened to the two Ferraris. They pushed each other and there was no penalty. For Alonso instead they inflicted 10 seconds. I think it all comes from the discussions we had at the beginning of the year with the FIA.”
Krack therefore he does not hide the fact that, from his point of view, there is a real strategic plan to penalize Aston Martin, with the latter being blamed for having made its voice heard. Serious accusations from the Aston Martin Team Principal which could have consequences and new penalties.
