The Italian outfit found itself on the receiving end of criticism from Charles Leclerc after a request he made to switch to slicks early in Q2 was over-ruled by the team, who wanted him to put a banker lap in on inters.
But, by the time he had completed that first run and made the switch to slicks, rain had returned, and Leclerc missed the best window to set a better time – which meant he was eventually dumped out.
While Leclerc expressed some anger in media interviews immediately after the session about what had happened, the team said the Monegasque had changed his mindset after the situation was explained to him by strategists later on.
But even so, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur said it was vital that his squad conducted a thorough analysis of what had happened and got together to discuss how best to avoid repeat problems in the future.
“We have to think about what happened,” explained Vasseur. “We will have a meeting to discuss about it on Tuesday to fix it.”
