Poor as expected when hearing them saying this package was planned before seeing car on track so not addressing actual issues. 2025 car will achieve that. Or even better let's focus on new rules coming in 26. A lot of talks for a little result not much differently than under Binotto's direction. But hey they are selling a huge lot of SUVs to the Saudis.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:12Has to be said that the upgrades are a little disappointing, still behind McLaren is not good(even though this circuit suits very well). S1 was slow, not sure how much of that is due to tyre temp issues or just lack of pace.
Thoughts are 1 stop. Ferrari have 1 new set of Mediums and Hard, I think. Probably start on the Medium. Hopefully Norris can mess up Max with an Undercut and Charles can go long.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:17So do we have any hope for tomorrow? Ferrari running mediums in q1 seems to suggest they have a different strategy in mind, right?
Problems in 2025 will be different when they make fixes for today's problem. . Wasn't this concept supposed to have a lot of development potential ?AmateurDriver wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:25Poor as expected when hearing them saying this package was planned before seeing car on track so not addressing actual issues. 2025 car will achieve that.

If I counted correctly, they will have an extra new soft for tomorrow, since every Q3 car gets an extra q3 set of softs that gets returned after. They should try and use it in 1st stint, track is low deg, the car is low deg and they have used two-piece beam wing. -3kmh on main straight v McLaren and -9kmh v Max with Hulk's tow. Not sure why they are still running so conservatively, but it is what it is, maybe they did not expect the track will get so much quicker after FP2bananapeel23 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:17So do we have any hope for tomorrow?

yea and red bull sell energy drink, merc sells cars, and McLaren sells cars, Aston martin sells car, Audi sells car, to Saudis as well. so, what's your point?
As usual the competition did a much better job through the weekend. Leclerc almost 0.3s quicker than Sainz and only P4. Not good.
Max got a mega slipstream from Hulk.
Q1 and Q2 were just showboating. Ferrari is not serious about racing.edu2703 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:32Disappointment. That's the only word to sum up today's performance.
McLaren has evolved and now they have a car with performance on par with Red Bull. And even with the updates, Ferrari is still as far behind McLaren as it was in Miami without them. The race tomorrow will confirm this.
The worst thing is seeing Ferrari's performance in free practice, in Q1 and Q2, giving a lot of hope of getting a strong position for the race. Then in Q3, falls behind the McLarens...
Tomorrow, P4 is victory. Unless something happens with Verstappen, Piastri and Norris, Ferrari's podium chances are in the single digits.
