Guenther Steiner calls out Ferrari for refusing to admit F1 strategy mistakes

Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has criticized Ferrari, claiming the team's reluctance to admit strategic errors hurts its on-track results. Speaking on The Red Flags Podcast, Steiner addressed Ferrari's decision to start Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc on soft slick tires during wet conditions, which quickly caused both drivers to drop down the order before recovering to finish third and fourth.

Steiner contrasted Ferrari with McLaren, arguing Ferrari hesitates to correct strategic misjudgments quickly because it struggles to acknowledge mistakes. Hamilton expressed mixed feelings after the race, admitting his heart sank when seeing rivals on intermediate tires while acknowledging gratitude for reaching the podium.
