Ferrari admits poor tyre strategy during Australian Grand Prix

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur admitted the team made a "wrong call" during the Australian Grand Prix by keeping Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc on slick tyres too long in the rain. This decision came as conditions worsened with 13 laps remaining. As rain intensified, Ferrari opted to pit their drivers for intermediate tyres on lap 47, after they had gained positions. However, this move dropped them to ninth and tenth place, despite being in a strong position earlier in the race. Vasseur explained that the team misjudged the weather, as parts of the track remained dry while others were wet. He acknowledged that they should have pitted earlier, similar to Red Bull's strategy.
