[Saba Sports News] Ferrari’s internal radio communication at the Canadian Grand Prix became a focal point of public attention. Multiple conflicts between Charles Leclerc and engineer Bryan Bozzi during the race highlighted confusion in the team’s strategy execution, drawing strong criticism from former F1 driver and current commentator Davide Valsecchi. Throughout the race, Leclerc and Bozzi repeatedly disagreed on tire strategies. Bozzi recommended executing Plan B while Leclerc insisted on Plan C. Even during crucial moments when entering the pit lane for tire changes, Leclerc questioned the rationality of the instruction, expressing confusion over the decision to change to hard tires instead of intermediate tires, despite stating earlier that his tires were in good condition. This series of contradictory communications ultimately reflected in the results as Leclerc finished fifth. Post-race, although Leclerc stated he “may need to take responsibility for P5,” he still expressed confusion about the team’s strategy. He mentioned that he preferred a one-stop strategy, but the team opted for a two-stop strategy, leaving him no choice but to follow. Leclerc admitted that he couldn’t have access to all the information within the car, but disappointment was evident in his tone. In response, Valsecchi reacted strongly. During a podcast, he noted that Leclerc’s performance over the weekend had been inconsistent, including crashing during practice sessions, missing critical parts, and making mistakes near the end of qualifying. These errors should have been points of reflection rather than frequent complaints over team strategies.
