The work done from now to Quali will be crucial.
Also it's likely the rain will kill our chances. The car was terrible in China in mixed conditions.
How can we measure degradation of tyre? Is Imola a low degradation circuit?
I follow F1 since 2007 and apart from 2012 I can't remember a season where a Ferrari was good in mixed / rainy conditions. I think the last race that Ferrari won in mixed conditions was ALO in Silverstone 2011. We only can hope it will stay dry.
Same as everyone else, or at least within a tiny margin. Nobody is passing here.jambuka wrote:Race pace doesn’t look too good. If I conditions remain dry seems like Charles poles someone else’s win.
Charles was second fastest lol, on mediums behind Piastri on hards which is a better race tyre. Plus, McLaren has similar wing level to us, and was 10 kph faster in speed trap iirc
The deg is slightly higher because Leclerc is pushing really hard before the drop-off. Norris held back a few tenths and the tyre lasted slightly longer. This is something they will work on. Even then the medium looks slightly worse race tyre compared to the hard which we looked quite strong on in FP1.
Judging race pace based on small handful of laps on Friday is a bit silly, not that I agree with your assessment of the actual times in the first place.
