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

Things were no better for Leclerc, who, aft✤er crashing out of qualifying, failed to make any progress in Sunday’s race as the Monegasque came home a disappointing seventh. 

Writing his post-race column for , Schumacher did🐓 not hold back asꦬ he blasted both drivers for their lack of consistency. 

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

"I see the bigges🌃t problem wꦇith the drivers. For me, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are not consistent enough.”

Schumacher went on to state that 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 wor💛ld champion. 

"Leclerc himself has said that, against the advice ꦑof his engineers, he mistuned the ca👍r,” Schumacher continued. 

“With his mistakes, he shows that he either doesn't have the maturityಞ 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 wa𝓡s at his level, slows sown and drives ⛦into the pit lane too fast. 

"To be honest, the Ferrari team is currently doing 🤡a better job than both driver🌳s."
