Ferrari’s lacklustre start ⛦to the 2023 season continued at the Miami Grand Prix as Sainz picked up a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pitlane on his way to slippꦑing from third on the grid to finish fifth. 

Things were no better for Leclerc, ♎who, after crashing out of qualifying, failed to make any progress in Sunday’s race as the Mon🌜egasque came home a disappointing seventh. 

Writing his post-race column for 🃏, Schumacher did not hold back as he blasted both drivers for their lack of cඣonsistency. 

“Ferrari once again fell short of expectations,” Schumacher wrote.“Ferrari has gi♔ven me a very decent impression since Fred Vasseur took ꧒office. A lot has happened there.

"I see the biggest problem with the drivers. For me, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are not🎉 consisten𒅌t enough.”

Schumacher went on to state thꦺat Leclerc’s pair of shunts over the Miami weekend, and risky set-up choices, are further proof he is not yet ready to become a world champion. 

"Leclerc himself has said that, against the advice of his engineers, he mistuned the car,” Schumacher cont♍inued. 

“With his mistakes, he shows that he either doesn't have the maturity yet or maybe at the end of the day he's not💝 consistently good to drive a world championship for Ferrari🌸. 

"At the moment, this is not the case.”

Sainz did not escape criticism, with Schumacher writing♐: "Sainz was eight tenths away🎃 from Leclerc on a weekend, in Miami he was at his level, slows sown and drives into the pit lane too fast. 

"To be honest, the Ferrari team is currently doing a be𓃲tteౠr job than both drivers."
