This race was right up there with Verstappen's false title...
WEC had the option of A)Screw the fans out of 2 hours of racing, or B)Put Ferrari in a bad spot. They chose 'B' and I completely understand why. In the end, the first privateer one a WEC hypercar race, and it will no doubt encourage other privateers that it *can* be done. That's a good thing for the championship and its health for years to come. I'm personally happy JOTA squad. They've been very close twice before. Ferrari had great luck at Le Mans last year, and since then, not so great luck. That's racing. It will turn around for them. They're near the front most of the time.
Ferrari being Ferrari, since their win at Le Mans last year, they screwed up a couple of times. At Imola they were comfortably leading, but messed up their tyre strategy when the rain came. Even a Spa, they managed to have their pole disallowed because on a weight infringement ! They must have the fastest car, but still mess up.
Meh. I don't really think the team has been bad in execution. They've just made some rookie mistakes, which is understandable. Even Toyota have made them over the past two seasons. Their luck will turnaround in time. They've got the car for it.
The Le Mans win last year had provoked some euphoria. Since, it certainly hasn't been a walk in the park for Ferrari as their supporters predicted. Toyota dominated last season, winning 6 out of 7 races, but they struggle this year.
Now you have derailed from the topic so much haha Rules is created and can be changed, just like how they remove the 3 safety car at le mans because it create the same issue. This is not about Ferrari or any team or what anyone like but simply the rules is ridiculous. In what kind of racing competitor get a huge lead out of luck is fair.. boggles at least my mind ppl think this is part of racing.
The rule may be ridiculous, or unfair, but that's all we got at the moment, so let's apply the rule. Then, if various parties feel aggrieved by it, they should lobby the FIA to get it changed. I would go along with that.
