2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[Space-heat]

Who would have thought the flexi wing was an advantage?

Good job Ferrari for coming here with a growing car.

But this car was always going to be fast around here, no?

LEC was getting frequent flyer miles with his +wing requests in each race like all the last ones where he did great. Today he doesn’t need anything, that’s new.

Charles got +2 FW twice when doing double cools. I can not remember if it was all FP2 or one in FP1, one in FP2.

Race pace on med tire looks solid so if a Ferrari leads on lap 2 there is a very good chance of a win here I think

As long as Ferrari doesn't let themselves be undercut...

Sky IT, coming out of the Ferrari briefing:

Leclerc is extremely confident this weekend, he's very very happy with the car today. He doesn't want to change anything. The only thing he wasn't pleased about was his own FP2 lap, so he fully believes there's more on the table tomorrow. The car isn't the limiting factor, only himself.

Love it when Leclerc is confident. Let's get that extra tenth for tomorrow! If he can ride that one kerb at the end, that should make up quite a bit of time. Out of the entire grid, I only saw Norris do it.

Shame about Sainz struggling with the balance, hopefully they can solve that tonight.

I think Sainz was a brake issue. He was on the radio a few time. Charles has had similar on multiple other tracks so might be the same thing. It could be a balance thing as you mentioned.

Still a big step compared to running out of + available.

Him jokingly(but probably wanting) asking for six clicks was becoming a tradition.

Meanwhile Lando:

Usually I prefer to show not the highest speeds at the beginning of the weekend, to then, already on Saturday, to increase, but now I have a feeling that especially increase will not be possible.

Here is a quick video I recorded..

They could make it flex even more, I think MCL might do another 1-2cm of flexing there, but it's still much better than earlier.

Any long run data available?

Best of the field, but race pace isn't used for much here.

[Fakepivot]

race pace is like .8 or almost 1 sec better than last year, and in fp2 we have already surpassed qualification pace, pretty insane development.

they made some changes to the track since last year. Resurfacing, cleaning, etc.

COTA coming up next has been resurfaced as well, by the way.

Things don't look great.

[Autobahn303]

Damn, the car looked really hooked up yesterday. What happend?

[franbatista123]

Maybe the car is setup for cooler quali conditions? Still the difference is quite big

Average ferrari weekend where the others improve and they don't or make the car worse.

Seems like the tyres are out of the window. No grip. Charles mentioned higher track temps during his medium run.

+4 FW on the last run. He also wanted to change set up at the end but didn't have the time.

Not sure what those second M runs were about. Made them late getting on the Soft.
