2023 Canadian Grand Prix - Practice & Qualifying Thread

Team radio Charles is not happy.What a ****in joke of a team clueless .Ferrari are destroying his career with fools that are employed by them.

Another useless hot take from you. Stop typing like a bot and start acting like a human being. Both Charles and Carlos pitted at the same time. And Carlos managed it just fine.

[Cavallino]

He destroyed it himself today. Sure, team did not listen but he had 4 laps to make the tyres work, as did Carlos, Norris, Piastri and basically everyone else but Albon. Everyone managed. Charles didn't. He is not good.

"he is not good".

welcome, back to the forum btw, i've missed your insights!

No mention of your Spanish track theory now then?

Xavi clearly screwed the strategy again. But whatever

glad i'm not the only one calling out some of the low quality posts around here.

Really Greig?!!?!?!

But it was the same strategy for Sainz.

[drax]

I am the first to defend the team, but I am sorry nobody works well if they don’t trust the team. And yes Charles should definitely start being a little bit like Max and boss the team around.

[Greig]

Really Greig?!!?!?!

Yes really, this is not planetF1 or Autosport and never will it be.

going for a banker lap isn't a dumb idea

Well you need it I guess. He has a terrible season. He struggles with pace in almost every race and even Sainz, who we believed was no match for him, is driving way better this year. So... am I wrong? Did Charles have a problem with the car today again? He had enough time, he failed.

[Greig]

It made sense, Albon was not quick on slicks at that point either.

[tifosi1993]

Only ferrari can do such things. Initially fighting with RBs & suddenly they loose everything come quali.

Charles once again…. He’s not strong enough to take over the decisions on his own.

Yeah, hearing him on the radio is quite frustrating sometimes tbh. He read the situation nicely but does't impose his will on the team.

"I think it's dry condition, should you pit for dry?"....that's not imposing enough at all.

[drax]

Pretty sure you will regret saying this when he eventually leaves the team

Sainz also outscored Charles in 2021, but even that season anyone who watched the races with any clue could tell who had the better season.

OK, then!!! It is all great!!! This is GREAT result!!! 15 years without titles, it is GREAT!!! I am cheering every moment, how good and great things are!!! Absolutely fantastic!!!

Has he made any difference at Ferrari? Nothing is going to change with Charles or not until we have a capable car.

[tifosi1993]

Max is just incredible. The way he can control his car in this condition, incredible.

[Cavallino]

It made sense, Albon was not quick on slicks at that point either.

yep, it wasn't a dumb idea, and it seems like we weren't warming up either tyre well.

i don't understand why they're bashing the team, yeah, Leclerc knew to come in, and i guess in hindsight it gives him an extra lap to bring the tyres up to temp, but he had plenty of laps.

It's probably a setup difference.

[Greig]

Piastri in the wall, will be red flag.

[tifosi1993]

Hulk P2 in a Haas.

[drax]

Neither did Alonso, Vettel and a ton of others… the excuse for them not making a difference in Ferrari and being WDCs on other teams was what ?

[Cavallino]

i mean, F1TV isn't even taking this opportunity to bash Ferrari, c'mon guys, some of you have to grow up

[Greig]

Neither did Alonso, Vettel and a ton of others… the excuse for them not making a difference in Ferrari and being WDCs on other teams was what ?

Exactly my point, the driver is not going to change anything until we produce the car.

Fair enough

[tifosi1993]

If we had Alonso in this car, we wouldn't have been P11 today.

[paolo lalli]

It's all about a solid relationship between driver and race engineer. Charles does not have this relationship with his engineer.Max and his engineer Giancarlo are solid he reads Max's assertion perfectly and responds accordingly that a winning combination the results speak for them selves.Ferrari getting schooled in this department as others.

[stefa]

And as I said and you send me reprimand, with current engineers it is not going to happen any time soon

[Kyss4k]

Sainz also outscored Charles in 2021, but even that season anyone who watched the races with any clue could tell who had the better season.

Sure did, but that year he had a lot of bad luck. This time he just lack the pace for some reason. It's like he lost it... lost the will to drive or I don't know. He was good at the start of the season but as the time goes on, nobody can deny he is not doing great and it's not just team's fault as seen today.

[tifosi1993]

So, Carlos getting 3 place grid means he will start from P11, which means Charles will start from P10.
