I believe Ferrari have switched strategy people a few times. The previous Strat gentleman is now one of the heads of ops. I think Ferrari have a more deep cultural issue which is allowing these mistakes to happen, regardless of who is in charge.
Remember this has been happening since the Alonso days. 2010 they lost a title by covering the wrong car and being stuck in traffic. In the Vettel days, seb regularly made strategy calls from the car that the team were getting wrong. Charles questions the strategy a lot - Carlos overrides it at times.
Ferrari have been like this since 2010 at least. The only difference now is neither Charles or Carlos have the experience Seb and Fernando did to override the pit wall effectively. Which isn't a criticism of Charles and Carlos - they've not been hired to make those calls.
