Ferrari chief has 'no idea' how to win British Grand Prix despite Carlos Sainz pole

Changeable weather conditions at Silverstone this weekend have left Ferrari chief Mattia Binotto clueless as to what strategy is best for the British Grand Prix.

The Italian team is in a great position to start the race following a surprise qualifying result. Charles Leclerc was expected to be their best chance of beating Max Verstappen to pole position, but it was Carlos Sainz who set the fastest time in a very wet Q3 on Saturday.

Having Sainz ahead of Verstappen and Leclerc ahead of Sergio Perez is an ideal outcome for Ferrari, as finishing the race in the same way would see them close the gap to Red Bull in the constructors' title hunt. But when asked after qualifying what the plan was for the race itself, Binotto said he did not even know the answer to that himself.
