Ferrari Formula 1 boss Mattia Binotto accepts there was"probably no way" Carlos Sainz could have created a gap to Charles Leclerc as asked behind the safety car at Silverstone.Sainz scored his maiden F1 victory in Sunday's British Grand Prix, passing team-mate Leclerc with 10 laps remaining thanks to his fresh set of soft tyres following the safety car restart.
Ferrari team principal Binotto said the call was given to Sainz as the restart may have been"more difficult" for Leclerc given the soft tyre advantage of the cars behind, but he recognised it may not have been possible to create such a gap easily. "So again, [I'm] very happy. I know that he did his best. There was probably no way for him to give widths to Charles.The Safety Car Charles Leclerc, Ferrari F1-75, Carlos Sainz, Ferrari F1-75, Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes W13Sainz explained after the race that he was worried about losing the slipstream to Leclerc, which may leave both Ferraris vulnerable to being overtaken by Hamilton."If I drop 10 metres, I might lose a bit of slipstream.
