People, please.... most of you here are total dramaqueens!
I know this is the team thread and we give a bit more leeway but try to think twice before you post something emotional.
This is only the first race. They positively surprised themselves in qualifying. Bahrain is a very specific circuit and the picture may be different in Jeddah and Melbourne.
Also, let's not make conclusions about "lack of downforce", "bad rear wing", etc, etc. A few tenths off pole isn't a drama, and they aren't the only ones who want to get closer to RBR.
So, let's calm a bit please. Breathe and don't post unless you have a balanced opinion or a fact to share. Thanks!
PS: I removed some personal posts but I'll follow that up with warnings on repeat.
The PPL (fans) are reacting this way is because they are frustrated. Because the mistakes are recurring. Everyone on the grid is talking about ferrari's tyre deg , imo Lewis, Russell, Alonso all mentioned it. It's so obvious but this team who are portrayed as the old lady of F1 with all the resources and history and all the sh*t can't come up with any solution. This perticular issue is there from 2021. Even though they were not fighting for anything I can recall meclaren giving them a run. Ferrari's Technical team seems incapable of finding any solution.
The launch spec F1-75 had minimal tire deg issues. I recall graining in Imola and Miami, but not much more wrong before France.
this tyre deg problem has always been one of the characteristic flaws of this car.
In first few races where F1-75 had considerable speed advantage this problem was not so evident. But once RB got their act togather I can recall numerous occasion where Ferrari would score the pole but still in race RB would just go flying past them without much effort.
The problem has become even worst now as teams like Mercedes and AM have gain some ground and have started troubling them.
too early to conclude anything but still I don't trust them to actually find any solid solution and overturn that 1 sec deficit on RB.
