They say 7 is a lucky number. I do hope it is for Charles and he wins more races this season. (he deserves to)
Forza Jules
What a stellar drive from Charles Leclerc! And kudos to the team as well, they responded well to the adversities (well known disease of the past which is updates that don't work/losing the development battle). Also for taking the (calculated) risk of leaving our drivers with one stop strategy which paid dividents. Carlos also drove a solid race (not at the level of Charles but nevertheless a solid result). What can I say, back then I read an article (interview) of that clown Binnoto saying that Charles drives in a divine way....I couldn't agree more (and it's the only thing I would agree with him anyway). He is a generational talent! Give him the wright car and he will wipe the floor off of the rest of the grid! Let's hope that the team has found it's way through the difficulties that experienced in the last couple of races and follow an upward trajectory.
WCC is truly on !! Both of our drivers are consistent. Although McLaren are favourites, their rookie mistakes might cost them over experience of Charles & Sainz.
Sainz is up there in quali, but he needs to pull up some race pace. I know hes not at the level of Leclerc but he needs to make the difference in the upcoming races that will be important in WCC.
For WDC, if Charles gets Baku & Singapore. Then its game on. Hes the one who deserves the championship this year given the where the car is & results hes delivering.
One final push from Ferrari in terms of upgrades either front wing or a better traction or good balance at high speed for SF-24 will help Leclerc to be in contention.
I can see the WCC being possible yet McLaren are 8 points behind RB we are 39!!!!
but I think the WDC is out of our reach unless miraculously we win the majority of the remaining races.
Max is 86 points ahead of Charles. It's a lot to catch up and Max would need to finish every race in the low points.
Charles deserves to win but he may have to wait.

McLaren had the fastest car but at the expense of a setup that punished the tyres, specially the front left.
After 15 laps they begun to suffer.
I haven’t been this Ferrari Formula 1
happy in years.
Forza Ferrari!
Forza Charles!

I know mathematically is possible for Charles to win the wdc, but realistically 86 points is quite a difficult task and a very tall order.
To make it more realistic, Max would have to have at least one if not two DNF’s to bring Charles more in contention, and even then we’d have to have a good enough car to fight for wins with red bull and McLaren
We’ll see how these updates will do at tracks with a lot of slow/medium and especially high speed corners, which the later was our Achilles heel for quite some time
But a dNF for Max is a must if we are to have a chance at wdc
WCC is wide open for the 3 teams, Ferrari, McLaren and red bull, so we’ll see who’s gonna come on top come last lap in Abu Dhabi

Love the new appendix to the title of this thread-Ferrari win.
Would love to see this the pattern of things to come.
Forza Jules
Let's not get carried away here. To have any hope of either championship Ferrari and Charles would have to:
a) win the next two races against McLaren on the more favourable layouts.
b) bring a substantial front end upgrade to the third circuit that would enable the car to turn as good as McLaren around the American and Middle Eastern circuits.
I don't see it happening.
Grande Charles!!!
Bring on the next 2 races that will suit our car!
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
