Charles Leclerc accidentally exposed his Ferrari team’s strategy as he struggled to hide it. Ferrari’s strategies have been a big topic of conversation. The season has seen the team struggle with their car and their strategy. It has also sabotaged both the drivers and the results that they could bring in. However, it seems like the drivers have been influenced by their team’s bad strategy.
The Ferrari drivers finish their qualifications and the Sprint race at the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend. Although Charles Leclerc earned himself a good finish to the qualification, the Sprint left him a little disappointed. The Monegasque missed out on a podium while Sainz finished at the very end of the points.
With consistent bad results and a bad strategy backing it up, the drivers seem completely over it. Although both drivers have done a good job to bring the team points, they forgot to hide their tactics for the race.

During the post-race interview, Charles Leclerc tried his best to hide the strategies that the team was going for. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz did not realize he gave away the tactics that Ferrari would be implementing on Sunday. The driver talked about getting the softs for the race and building their strategy around it.
However, Leclerc tried his best to not say much but his struggle to keep the strategy hidden was of no use. The Monegasque tried his best to cover up without giving too much information which hinted to everyone at the tactics for their race.
Charles Leclerc finds his Brazilian Grand Prix weekend strange
Charles Leclerc had a good start and end to his qualifications. While he got yet another front-grid start to his Sunday race, the driver was left struggling to get a better result in Sprint. While Ferrari has been blamed multiple times for their poor strategy, they have also seen some issues with the car. Nonetheless, it has not stopped the Monegasque from winning a few podiums.

Charles Leclerc however had a few things on his mind when it came to his session. The driver said, āIāve never had such a strange session in my life. We did a good job today and there was not much more on the cards. We’ve got a lot of work to do in race pace”.Ā
While he has an advantage for the Sunday race, it is tough to say when things could go sideways for the Ferrari team. Although they have done a great job, they have been in clashes with McLaren. Ferrari holds the third position in the Constructors Championship while McLaren closes in on them.
