Ferrari didn’t let Carlos overtake when he was right behind on faster tyres, and some people only chose to wait until he backed off and his soft tyres degraded to say ‘oh he can’t complain he can’t expect to switch when he’s three seconds behind although he has softs’ (never mind the fact that switch position Sierra is obviously code and they probably weren’t even discussing a literal switch at that point cos he clearly already backed off). Ferrari undercut Carlos with his own teammate then told Carlos not to attack Charles when he has a penalty and some people are like oh but Charles is so fast he is staying ahead of Carlos so he won’t lose position and act like Charles finishing ahead is some amazing testament to his ability.

#wtf is this like there was no such blatant sidelining last year whatever ppl may complain about mattia #wtf is fred doing #I love Charles but lbh his race yesterday was mid #and it’s not really his fault. he couldn’t really do much with the pace of the sf23 it was just not keeping up with the mercs and mcls #and then with the fucked up pit stop it’s still good he crossed the line in the same position he started #and then the penalty but also merc was brave with George’s strategy giving him a bigger fighting chance at the end #meanwhile carlos took things into his own hands and made a big start #and Ferrari didn’t capitalise on it #and the chirlies will do anything and pick and choose their stats and moments to make charles look good and ignore larger context
