Ferrari looked better than what it was last year just because Redbull had all the DNFs at the start of the season
And Redbull was still always close if not in front at every race
Ferrari this year already on the 10th lap there was a 10 seconds gap
No upgrade can fix that unless you can bring 1 second and magic tyre deg quickly
Let's look at this logically:-
Ferrari identified a front wing issue in testing - insufficient downforce.
Ferrari unable to use the higher downforce wing in Bahrain.
Ferrari chews through its rear tyres in a rear limited track.
Ferrari have poor result in Bahrain, second only to RB in quali.
Conclusive - they should give up on this season, throw away their concept and start over with zero sidepods
PS Ferrari were pulling away from RB at around 1.5 seconds per lap in Australia in 2022 - Bad races happen, even for RB.
