Ferrari Formula 1 boss Fred Vasseur says he allowed Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to race in the closing laps of the Italian GP as a gesture to fans.
Sergio PerezVasseur opted not to tell the drivers to hold station and bring home the points and instead, the message was passed on that they could continue to race each other to the flag, but with the proviso of"no risk".
"For sure it's much easier to comment when you have it at the end, but I think it was also the best way to thank everybody, the support of the tifosi and so on, and I was not that comfortable to freeze something five laps before the end. "On this, I want to have the last call," he said."And I told them no risk, you can race but no risk. Again, it's relative. But I was much more comfortable with this situation than to freeze something."
"We obviously knew that the car that is in DRS is always going to be feeling like it's the quicker car," said the Spaniard.
