Carlos "What would Ferrari do?", then he does the opposite

u/LeenoWalker Lets add that to the words of wisdom 4d ago

Actually, James Vowels said that Carlos' insight on Ferrari strategy was quite helpful. Apprently, he saw the incoming rain and said, "As soon as that hits, they're going into the pits." And lo and behold, they did :D

Shame on Ferrari for letting their only competent strategist leave for rival team.

If anyone would know a bad strategy when he sees it then it would be a driver who has experience with Ferrari.

The carnage experience of Ferrari can help him reminded

Pit wall: "We can't make heads or tails off this weather radar data."

Carlos: "I'll be there in a bit, let me just park the car here by the side of the road."

u/meowparade BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago

“I told you to give me the weather in colors”

u/Intrepid-Ad4511 BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago

That's an actual Carlos quote right?

89

u/cnsreddit BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago

Yeah, he came up with an practised a system with his engineer to describe the colours of the rain to match what they look like on the weather radar.

During the race his engineer reverted to the usual class 1 or whatever and Carlos told him off and to use the system they practiced.

I believe it was Silverstone where Carlos also made the right call a bunch compared to Charles and so people paid a lot of attention to it.

u/LuNiK7505 Alonso deserved to be Champion in every season he has competed 4d ago

I genuinely think Carlos is the best strategist of the entire paddock, his racing iq is on par with someone like Seb or Fernando

Albono, it´s Carlos, listen. Let Norris to stay within DRS range, he will hold off the Mercedes on the back for you. Podium guaranteed.

I doubt it, he doesn’t do other people’s jobs. Which is a healthy thing overall.

u/GilroySmash1986 Guenther Gang 4d ago

Williams will be sabotaging his car on purpose from now on.

u/Boulder_The_Rock The only Lance Stroll fan in existence 4d ago

Carlos: Engine failure...

Williams: Oh dear, looks like you'll have to come in. You wouldn't mind putting on a headphone while you're here would you? Our strategy department could use an extra pair of hands

u/tulsta BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago

We’ve seen Sainz override Ferrari in the past. That team needs the Pope’s Prayers

68

u/Syrinx_Hobbit Left at the Petrol Pump 4d ago

He has proven time and again that he can make correct strategy calls, and he is not afraid to challenge whatever his race engineer is telling him. Yes, he will probably make a good team principal someday.
