I hope we can soon dial down on doom and gloom in this thread, it's becoming very tiring. Everyone was expecting Ferrari to struggle in Silverstone and now that the struggle is there everyone is going crazy...
Where RB20 is limited by bumps and curbs, SF24 seems to be limited by high aero load coming from the floor. What some media wrote about suspension not being able to support the new floor and higher loads at high cornering speeds is very accurate in my view, for some reason they aren't setting up the car as stiff as RB20 (probably because it will take tyres into very wrong window) can be and for the same reason the car was the best in Monaco.
I can't put a finger on choosing Imola or Barcelona package to run in Silverstone, Imola is slower but more stable. What I think Ferrari needs to do is work on a floor somewhere between Imola and Barcelona for faster circuits to reduce bouncing (because Barcelona floor is obviously too strong for their suspension and high speeds), while also using Barcelona floor in slower circuits where it will work well. Barcelona sidepods don't seem to be the problem in any case
For Silverstone at the moment, I'm very surprised they are running more loaded than RB again and especially McLaren. I suspect McLaren needs to run hard in FP to get those tyres in the window, since they are running Miami-level loads here... Ferrari need to at least drop down to single piece beam wing, running the second element is completely unnecessary here and I hope it's just for parallel testing between both floor configurations. There won't be any rain tomorrow during Q and chance for rain on Sunday is still 50-50. If the chance rises to 70-80%, then go with higher load setup, otherwise less load will be more efficient in Q and will yield better position
