Charles to Sky IT: “It was a qualifying session that was much more positive than the result we achieved. I'm not satisfied with the result, but I think this was one of those sessions where I learned a lot, and where we learned a lot as a team. Knowing that we had a 10-place grid penalty, I decided to be much more aggressive in terms of the directions I explored during qualifying, with the front wing, with other things, and with the tools on the steering wheel. I think it was an experiment that will pay off, because I've been at Ferrari for nine years now, and to be honest, I've never had the same feeling in the wet that I used to have in the junior categories. The wet has always been my strong point, but at Ferrari I've always struggled, and that's something we still need to figure out. However, I think today was positive because we tried so many things, and at certain points during qualifying, in conditions where I usually have absolutely no feeling with this car, I actually had a very good feeling. The feeling was really good, but in Q3, as we continued experimenting, we ended up on the wrong side of things. It was a session where we had a lot of performance at certain points, and much less at others, especially on the intermediates towards the end. But honestly, it was a good session. We tried a lot of different things. We knew we were going to take the penalty anyway, so we could afford to take a few more risks and experiment much more with the car, even coming into the pits during runs. Although there are parc fermé restrictions and we can't change too many things, there are still certain adjustments we can make, and they allowed us to understand a lot of things today. So, it was a positive session. Lewis? I think it's always important to have a discussion, but ultimately, I don't think there's any point in continuing to talk about it for so long. We've already been talking about it for so many days. Lewis and I have spoken, and for me, that's really the most important thing: clearing the air. I told Lewis what I thought, and he told me what he thought. We don't always have to agree, but I also think it's important to put this chapter behind us.” #F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

Question: With the happy event you experienced at the beginning of the week, congratulations, by the way, you haven't yet had the opportunity to talk about the discussion you had with Lewis and Fred. What can you tell us about it following the incidents in Mexico? Charles: “Very honestly, as you said, it's true that my week has been... it was a dream week, of course not from a professional point of view 😂, but in moments like these, your personal life and the fact that my wife and I have become parents for the first time is something exceptional. So that's really the emotion from this week. After that, the discussion had to happen, that's clear, and we had it. I think we talked things through, we both said what we thought, and it brought a lot of calm to the situation. As for moving forward, that discussion was certainly clear. I don't want to go into any more detail than that, and I don't particularly want to reignite something that has already dragged on for far, far too long.” #F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

Charles : “So, it was a session where we had a lot of performance at certain points, and much less at others, especially on the inters towards the end. But honestly, it was a good session. We tried a lot of different things. We knew that we were going to take the penalty anyway, so we could afford to take a few more risks and experiment a lot more with the car, even stopping during the runs. Although we have parc fermé restrictions and cannot change too many things, there are still certain adjustments we can make, and they allowed us to understand a lot of things today. So, it was a positive session. Obviously, the result is not satisfactory at all. We're not happy with fourth place, but I think we've always had a very tricky car to drive in the wet, and I think there are a few things we've understood today.” #F1 #BrazilGP 🇧🇷

Dear Ferrari, I must say this because I still have trauma from the previous race: If the track is wet, we put INTERS. I repeat, INTERS. Please and thank you🌹 @ScuderiaFerrari

CHARLES WITH THE INTERS #F1 #BrazilGP

📻 Bryan : « Verstappen P1 11.6. You did 11.89. » 📻 Charles : « We are nowhere. A very, very, very poor feeling. Crazy poor feeling. I know it’s only two tenths, but it feels like we’re a second and a half off. Horrible. » #F1 #BrazilGP
