For the first 2/3 of the race, Carlos had pace and seemed to be able to mount an attack. The final third he slowed and I was thinking tire management, but early he seems to have the pace to catch and fight for the win, but never pushed to do so. Lack of faith in the car or team orders?

Reading that on the website, I found it interesting they included the words "with the SF-21".

So, had they seen it on previous iterations of the Ferrari F1 cars?

Agreed, Carlos drove a solid 2nd place run.   I don't think anyone was catching Max yesterday.

“...The team believe that when Leclerc hit the barrier with the right-hand side of his car, the force of the impact was transmitted to the left-hand side hub, causing damage which was not visible to them externally.

The failure did not develop until after Leclerc left the pits on his reconnaissance lap prior to the start of the race. According to the spokesperson, the team had not previously experienced a failure of this type with the SF-21..”

Looks like I called that one correctly (even if it was just an excuse Ferrari made to cover up another problem).

 

“...While the team could use the same gearbox for Leclerc at the next race in Azerbaijan, his failure to start means they can fit a fresh unit without incurring a penalty.”

 

Another tactic that could be to their advantage.

 

Again, too much is being focused on this incident and not enough kudos to Carlos for 2^nd place.
