It’s a complete operational failure once again. They are now struck with which direction they should go. Hence these rumours are coming next year they will go with suspension change.
Wonder what will Lewis think now about his Ferrari move. Now that Mercs is back to competition atleast ahead of Ferrari. Because things will improve here on for Mercs that’s their development trajectory.
Either Lewis believes Newey is joining Ferrari or any other big head. Else with current team it’s impossible to compete at the top.
Ferrari lured him many a times, tried to give free hand too. If he isn’t joining, nothing much ferrari can do. It’s Newey’s choice end of the day.
But it’s not end of the word right? How did McLaren fight back without newey? How did Mercs come back without newey? That’s sort of Tech & operational dept Ferrari doesn’t have.
Yes it’s evident they went with Imola Spec saying that they need more data.
We had Barcelona/Austria (Sprint & Race) wonder how much data they need I don’t understand. Every race week in & out I keep getting the same statements from Ferrari team. Need to collect data on both the package & find the right set up.
It’s time to start new development thread 2025 ferrari car.
2024 is like 2021, one team started dominantly, but it got washed away as the season progressed. Now, instead of one team, we have two teams that have caught up with Red Bull.
And on both occasions, Ferrari is missing.
I just do not understand why they had Charles on Barcelona spec for all the practices and then changed to Imola spec for qualifying. Surely if they were uncertain they should have split the strategies and hedged their bets. Charles may have performed better on the Barcelona spec and leave Carlos on the Imola spec!!!!!
Is that just too difficult for them to compute?
As I sit here in my armchair I feel for those fans who braved the wet and cold to see our team do their stuff. I just hope something happens to-morrow which will bring us up the grid.......but I must be forever the optimist!!!!
Forza Jules
Data Data is that a new song at ferrari.The Data has confused them to the point that they don't know right from left.I agree wasted talent alright watch sainz shine even more when he leaves,Charles will be hung out to dry by ferrari and will become a tortured soul its vital all over again.Summer break can't come quick enough for ferrari. I suspect all will go on holidays and lament on another epic failure.Fred will be sipping champagnes slowly drowning his sorrows with Elkan .
17 years of this being repeated.
Looking at the telemetry, Charles was faster than Sainz before turn 14, where he had that mistake. But it was the first time he had taken turn 14 at full speed on that Imola spec.
Comparing Hulk and Sainz's Q3 lap, the Haas was actually faster than Ferrari in all the high speed corners. Sainz was ahead of Hulk in turn 4, after that the Haas pulled away.
Comparing Red Bull vs Mercedes vs McLaren, that Red Bull was still faster than the other two through turns 11-13, while carrying damage. But there was nothing to choose between those 3 teams.
disaster after disaster, I'm speechless
Boy am I glad I am not watching race tomorrow.
I'll be enjoying 2nd Metallica concert.
He may still be on Ferrari's payroll but I reckon Cardile must have switched off or is no longer interested in making Ferrari great!!!!
Forza Jules
AB-SOLUTE-LY USELESS!
We are a midfield team. That's the truth of it. Because of our brand, facilities and money, we are capable of producing a competitive car at the start of a season but we very quickly settle into our customary midfield position as the season progresses. And then repeat for the following year.
