It is a little scary if Seb does end up on PU #3 by race #4. But I think its worth the risk if it allows Ferrari to close on or better yet exceed the performance of the Merc.
I personally think Ferrari know exactly what they,re doing
They want to close and like you said even surpass the performance of the Merc as early in the season as possible and like you said, if they are concerned of any reliability issues they'll be fixed using NO tokens for that matter
And if Seb will need to use a 6th engine towards the end of season I'm sure Ferrari will use one at a track where overtaking is much easier and if the engine will be that much better I'm sure if Seb starts 10th (assuming he'll be on pole) I'm sure he'll end up on the podium that race
But all in all I like the philosophy approach Ferrari is taking under the new management
Forza Ferrari
So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
