Benito admits Ferrari must review its "internal operations"

The Ferrari driver was the most prominent candidate for the pole position in Hockenheim after controlling the three free practices.

However, a turbocharger airflow problem prevented Sebastian Vettel from scoring at any point in the first part of the playoffs, while a fuel problem prevented Charles Leclair from completing the throws of the third section.

As a result, the pair will start from positions 20 and 10 respectively.

When asked how this had happened, Benoto said, "It's something we need to think about internally."

"I do not believe in luck, I think it's about improving our internal procedures," he said.

"The road is still long, but we must be positive and not be at the same time, let me tell you that we must be rigorous in our management," he said.

Pinoto explained the off-road aspects that Ferrari deemed necessary to improve in order to avoid repeating such problems.

Vettel did not participate in the third part of the Austrian Grand Prix last month because of an engine problem that stopped his car in the row of stables.

"I'm talking about vehicle development procedures, validation and reliability badessment," he said.

"It's not the racing circuit or the operations, but the whole approach to auditing and developing the car," he said.

Pinoto said the problems at Ferrari in Hockenheim were not related to Vettel's problem at the Red Bull Ring.

"These problems are not the same as those we encountered in Austria, a new problem that has never happened, both in the factory and on the track", he said. declared.

"We need to badyze this carefully and find out why it happened, and make sure everything is resolved for the future."

"I do not think it's only a matter of solving one problem, but how to approach the whole process and make sure it does not happen again," he said. he continued.

Ferrari's straight-line advantage should allow Leclair and Vettel to recover and advance in Sunday's race, but Pinotu said his team should not "rely solely on expected rain" to improve their chances .

"We have a good pace," he said, "I think we should focus on our pace and speed and try to move forward simply."

"Sebastien has shown in previous races that he can recover well and that he's coming from behind, not from the last position, but I'm sure we can do a good race."

He also stated that he saw "no need" to change the components of the Vettel power pack, but said the team would "study all the solutions".
