Another poor weekend for Lewis....maybe he has lost desire to drive for Merc.
Forza Ferrari
I hope whatever they are bringing for Imola will be huge in terms of improvement.
And as I've said yesterday, the SF24 came alive in today's warmer temperature. It was flying everywhere and had Charles qualified P3, Red Bull would have hard time today.
Tomorrow had nothing to do with the SF24 being "poor". Charles had literally zero drop off today, which may explain his struggle yesterday with the warm up. I think he needs to put a bit more performance towards the qualifying.
But I know both China and Miami will be warmer, so I don't he will have issues there.
Great 1st stint by Charles & great drive by Carlos.
Strategy team … big thumbs up to them.
Overall P3 & P4. Good recovery.
Now let’s get that upgrades & give us some race pace advantage over RB. Currently I guess the difference is 0.3 - 0.4.
Of course he will. But some people here making it sound like that Charles is some slowpoke, which is becoming a bit annoying.
Also, Xavi is impressing me more and more. He listened to Charles's feedback and didn't force a 2-stop. I think he's becoming quite good with time and experience.
I love everything that Vasseur is doing to Ferrari. The race pace, development, strategy, team structure, his willingness to be hands on. The results speak for themselves in what a massive upgrade he has been.
And yet, his judgement to sign Hamilton and ditch Sainz in the manner he has, makes this all seem bittersweet. The team is coming together, and they're break up the best driver pairing on there right now.
For all you guys that have crapped on Sainz for years, and whined that he doesn't play the team game, just wait until Hamilton arrives with his diva attitude and rogue episodes. It's not a matter of if he'll refuse to play the team game, ruin races for Leclerc, and eventually crash him, it's how fast that happens, and the crisis that will unfold at Ferrari. Mark my words on that. Then, you'll really miss Sainz.
Great damage limitation race, could not have ask for anything more really. And what a drive from Charles! 23 laps on the mediums with competitive pace was unbelievable to see, he made Mercedes look silly. Now bring those upgrades finally!

Rumours are Carlos signed a contract with Mercs. News might come out anytime in couple of days.
Mercedes are useless now when it's not just about the engine..
Forza Ferrari
Ferrari 21 points behind R Bull in 2nd place. If Carlos didn't miss that race "WOW! There's hope!
