I think in this case it was a matter of ... accept these PU regs or we'll quit F1. I believe both Merc and Renault were pushing for small turbo engines. I think it was more Merc pushing for the complicated hybrid system. What were ferrari supposed to do, race themselves? At least they put their foot down and got us V6's instead of 4 cyls.
Any news regarding upgrades for Hungaroring?
I'm optimistic for Hungaroring considering it's a similar setup like Monaco. However, obviously Merc has fixed all of their issues and their car is seemingly flawless now, so it's going to be far from easy and we desperately need a win there.
As for a PU upgrade, i'm hoping for a massive one in Monza.

Hey guys, this is not really part of this thread, I just wanted to say, after reading about Charles LeClerk, I was thinking about Jules Bianchi.
I really miss him, he was such a good guy and I hope LeClerk will carry on the Jules Bianchi spirit for us in Ferrari.
I dont know why, but I just cannot forget him. Just wanted to say it here.
looks interesting

This year has been no exception, with one of the recent areas of intrigue surrounding Ferrari's slot in the floor – which had been spotted flapping earlier this year.
It was suggested that the design was intended to help feed air into the diffuser, thereby increasing downforce without the downside of drag.
For the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Ferrari was forced to make modifications to strengthen this area of the car – with a new metal attachment preventing it flexing.
One of the consequences of this move was seen at Silverstone, a circuit with high-speed corners, where Ferrari had to run with a monkey seat and a higher angle of attack on its wings to recover downforce that may have lost from its diffuser. This resulted in it struggling to match the straightline speeds of the Mercedes.

CAVALLINO RAMPANTE PER SEMPRE
That would explain Ferrari's tyre situation....hence making the race a 3 stop while almost everyone else made it a two stop.It was suggested that the design was intended to help feed air into the diffuser, thereby increasing downforce without the downside of drag.

Above article is really interesting, I think we'll work around it. Does sound like it was especially compounded at Silverstone but we could bounce back at the next race once we find methods to mitigate it.
