Ferrari is inventing new Formula 1 strategy mistakes in real time.
Although Charles Leclerc is dropping out of the championship picture quickly, Ferrari's lead driver still has a shot to catch and pass Max Verstappen in the year's final eight Formula 1 races. Every point counts, and the team saw an opportunity to effectively grab two more in the final lap of today's Belgian Grand Prix.
If that was it, the choice by Ferrari was still disastrous. By putting Alonso in play, Ferrari put Leclerc in a position where he could not reasonably fight for fastest lap even if Alonso had never actually passed him, meaning the team went from a guaranteed fifth-place finish to a battle for one with no real gain. But that wasn't the end.
