--- retire already, no point in this

Yes let's retire, car is working perfectly fine and clearly the engineers have everything well and truly sussed, why waste time gathering data we don't need...

[aleks_ader]

So tyre wear advantage is gone as well. Track conditions are as good as they get for us and we're still slow.
Eh.

IDK what are you watching but that "advantage" its gone from China aldready

China was a case being unable to get the tyres up to temp in cold conditions. It wasn't about wear.
The car was good at not overheating the tyres before Barca.

Do you know you inherently agree with me. That's part of tire deg... You cant choose and pick whatever. Physics laws are same agnostic for subjective narratives.

The car is absolutely awful.

We are lucky Lewis is undeperforming in this track and so is Piastri.

A podium for Sainz at least

Piastri did just fine, got a reward for taking out a direct competitor with impunity again

[ScuderiaLeo]

Well, at least Sainz got a podium.

P11 for Leclerc. So close. I wonder what could've been without the damage, but oh well.

[Vanja #66]

Well done Carlos, clean run, nothing special but good enough, we'll take that

Where did the damage come from? 1st lap incident?

[SoulPancake13]

Lack of pace in the car is just terrible, Spain upgrades brought nothing while everyone else is improving every race. The high speed limitations is a huge problem and need to be sorted out asap.

My question is why did Ferrari so confidently say Leclerc was going to get points?

Also both drivers were still struggling with the same issues as yesterday. Maybe the setup changes helped a little but clearly not enough.

But if Charles had a calmer lap in qualifying for top3, it would have been his free win.

He lost p10 or better because his pit stop was over 12s and the hards didn't work very well with full tank.
Moreover, he lost time behind Norris when he was lapped.

Maybe, but the future would have changed and we don't know what would have happened. For sure is better than starting with Perez behind
Remember in Mexico? He was on pole and Perez just turned on him for no reasons. Unfortunately with these low level drivers is a roulette.

Still a bad weekend, because quali was not great.

Its prolly can be possible, if Charles was not stuck behind Lando for whole stint with much fresh tyres.

I didn't feel ''confidence'' in that. It seems like a typical attempt to cheer up the driver with false promises.

I agree. Leclerc would have won today if he had qualified in the top 3. Pace would have been good enough to hold off Russell
