2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[LM10]

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

Totally agree.

I think those opening few corners has just backed Emags argument

Stroll is leading a train of about 12 cars right now. Must be quick in a straight line as Leclerc is closing but can't get close enough for the overtake.

Sainz backed off Piastri and is in clean air. Should help his stint until the rain hits.

[deadhead]

Vasseur and team continues with PR bullshit.

True but what else is there to do...

He was making fun of the Mercedes a few races ago I wonder what he thinks about it now

[JPower]

Finally. Good overtake.

[F1NAC]

Barely pulling from Aston. Lmao

Another strategic masterclass, it wasn't even a gamble it was dry in many places...

[JPower]

Sainz gained a good 5 seconds on Max when the rain started. Still hanging on to the Red Bull for now.

I see we've made no progress on the strategy side... Not 100% sure if that was Ferrari's decision or Charles, but that whole side of the garage is just something else...

[jambuka]

Wow, what a bunch of idiots on LEC side of the garage. Proving yet again team is not championship material. They can’t even get tire right when there is no pressure.

[JPower]

Just like Brundle said, its on the driver to make the call...I don't know if I can put that on the team.

I'll have to replay the radio.

I find it hard to believe the strategy team is that stupid and feel that this is very likely on Leclerc.
I feel he quickly realised after getting past Stroll he had no pace and gambled on inters as soon as rain started a desperate and ultimately terrible gamble!
Really stupid decision!

When way behind just follow Verstappen strategy, even if they do that they will get better results.

Yep, Leclerc called for the box. Ironic, because only seconds before, he said that part of the track were dry. Can't blame the team on that one.
