Ferrari have doubled down on their insistence that no strategy error was made during the French Grand Prix by claiming they were made to look bad by the live Formula 1 broadcast.
The Italian team attracted widespread ridicule during the race when already under pressure after Charles Leclerc crashed out. With Carlos Sainz their only hope of a podium finish after that incident, the Spaniard looked on course to achieve that after climbing to third from the back of the grid.
He took that place after a battle with Sergio Perez which saw the two racers go wheel-to-wheel. And TV coverage showed Sainz apparently receive the message to pit during the middle of his overtake, prompting the driver to retort angrily: "Not now!"
