by

The 1000th GP was once again a failure for Ferrari. The Scuderia then got the full broadside from the media.

Ferrari has to listen to a lot again after the disastrous Tuscany GP. “The first Grand Prix in Mugello will be remembered as another disaster for Ferrari,” wrote La Repubblica.

The press reviews at a glance:

ITALY

La Repubblica: The first Grand Prix at Mugello will be remembered as another disaster for Ferrari. The celebration of the great past of the racing team is overshadowed by the present with no prospects.

Corriere dello Sport: Once again a disgrace for Ferrari, and this time on the home track in Mugello. The Scuderia falls far behind in the ranking. It will take a long time to resolve this situation; there are no future prospects at the moment.

Gazzetta dello Sport: When Ferrari wants to celebrate its glorious past, Mercedes dominates the race on the Scuderia track. Any festive mood for the 1000th race will be immediately erased by the bitterness of this catastrophic 2020.

Tuttosport: Terrible race in the Mugello. Ferrari is sinking deeper and deeper into the crisis. The disappointment and frustration of the Tifosi are growing, especially because there is still no way out.

Corriere della Sera: While the other teams have grown, Ferrari is sinking more and more into an unprecedented crisis. Leclerc must hoist the white flag in front of the attacks by Renault, McLaren and Racing Point: a sporty drama for a highly motivated driver.

ENGLAND

Guardian: The net result had a familiar smell, but on the way there, chaos and misfortune brought a lot of color to this Grand Prix. No space in the field seemed safe until the checkered flag was finally waved. The race will go down in the history books as another double victory, but it still had nothing to do with routine. This great old course doesn’t have the financial support for a place on the regular calendar. But he would deserve it.

Daily Mail: Red flags, accidents, mistakes – Lewis Hamilton navigates the chaos and is still one win away from Schumacher’s brand that many believed was untouchable. The German’s achievements in turn act like a rebuke for the current Scuderia, which should celebrate its 1000th Grand Prix.

Mirror: An ice cold Lewis Hamilton kept a cool head as his competitors lost theirs in the dramatic Tuscan Grand Prix. Only one victory is still missing to make the Schumacher record. On the day Ferrari hit a historic milestone, Hamilton showed again why his name will forever be in the Formula 1 record books.

FRANCE

L’Equipe: Five points for Ferrari after the zero numbers were almost good news recently. But the limits of the SF1000 were obvious, Leclerc’s fifth place in qualifying was just an illusion. In the race he was defenseless – and without the numerous failures of the competition, Vettel would never have gotten a world championship point.

SPAIN

Marca: Hamilton’s number 90 victory. The Mugello circuit turned into an inferno for the racing cars, and the safety car was close to provoking a catastrophe. It’s a miracle that nobody was injured in the accidents. It was one of the strangest races in history.

As: Hamilton remains uninjured in the chaos of accidents in Mugello, but it was no walk in the park. A brave Sunday in Mugello.

Sport: Hamilton survived the Mugello chaos. Only twelve cars at the finish in an insane, accident-prone race. Unbelievable, the safety car was to blame for an accident.

El Mundo Deportivo: A pure survival race. In the end, everyone won in Mugello because luckily nothing serious happened.

“That’s not fair” / Formula 1 SPEEDWEEK.COM

Sebastian Vettel captured a world championship point in tenth in the crazy GP in Mugello. The Heppenheimer criticized the standing restarts afterwards, in which the drivers on the dirty side of the track are left behind.

In the crazy Tuscany GP, after two interruptions and three standing starts, twelve drivers finally crossed the finish line. This also included the two Ferrari drivers who were able to complete the 1000th GP outing for the Scuderia in the points. Charles Leclerc crossed the finish line in 9th position behind Raikkonen, but moved up one position because of a 5-second time penalty that the 2007 World Champion had received. Vettel got the last world championship point in tenth place.

After crossing the finish line, the four-time world champion said: “I can’t remember ever having made so many starts in one day, usually there is one. I have to say, I’m not a big fan of this rule because if you’re on the right side of the track, it’s a huge advantage. “

“But when you stand on the dirty side of the piste – we’ve already seen that in Monza – after a few laps there are a lot of rubber balls on the track. That’s not fair. I think we should focus on building cars that can overtake and not hold a lottery, ”emphasized Vettel, who did not mince his words when it came to his own performance.

“We weren’t fast enough and there is more than one reason for that. We know that our car is not fast enough, but this time we expected a better race pace, ”sighed the 53-time GP winner, who still doesn’t think about giving up. When asked whether it would be impossible to develop a better feeling for his red company car this year, he said: “I can still learn a lot, even if it will be difficult to achieve a huge improvement in the results.”

Luca de Meo: “A beautiful story to tell”

by

Why did you choose to rename the Renault team to the Alpine F1 Team?

F1 must be a constructors’ championship with prestigious brands which have made the history of the category, but more generally the history of the automobile. There must be a possible connection between Sunday’s results and Monday’s sales. A physical link that the customer can see and touch on the street. This is how Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin work. Alpine fits in with this spirit, naturally including the association with Renault as an engine manufacturer. It is a choice which is part of the idea of ​​the reorganization of the group announced a few days ago. We make Alpine one of our business units. The idea is to put F1 at the center of a 360 ° system with activities related to engineering, the Alpine brand itself, the products and the Dieppe site. It is made one of the pillars of Renault’s recovery strategy. The F1 platform will be able to accelerate the notoriety of a brand that is much more focused on Europe, especially France. I am convinced that this will ensure the sustainability of motorsport activities. Every manufacturer goes through ups and downs, and some people don’t necessarily share a passion for motorsport. They see competition as an expense item only. I want to transform it to integrate it into a new business model.

Renault has confirmed its commitment to F1 in the long term, but was it hard won internally?

We always have discussions on these subjects, especially in such a difficult economic climate. The easiest thing to do would be to perceive running as an expensive hobby. But I’m a car lover and I won’t be the one to end Renault’s 43-year F1 presence. I am here to start a new dynamic. Sometimes you don’t need to change the ingredients, just put them together in different ways to create a whole new recipe.
