Track temp was in the 30s or 40s, right ?
How hot does the track have to be for Ferrari to 'come into tyre window' ? 50 ? 60 ?
The Ferrari PR team has trained drivers and staff to use this 'track temp' as an excuse, as if something beyond their control is hampering them - didn't they know what tracks temps for these 22 races are going to be, when designing the car ?
The truth is Ferrari does this 'pendulum swing' with correcting issues with previous gen car and then eventually arrives at an optimal one. 2022 - car was peaky in downforce, porpoised, but rotated excellently, had mega traction from slow corner exits (driveability) => 2023 started as a car that had benign downforce, no porpoising, but had poor driveability where rotation and traction from corners suffered => last one third of 2023 => driveability was back without sacrificing downforce/speed => 2024 has good driveability, but not able to add performance, whilst other teams are able to. Now the fear is whether 2nd half of 2024 will add so much performance, that driveability will be lost again.
My guess is that Ferrari's problem is 'converging' with the car.
