2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[Sevach]

Car was nothing special, good result.

21 points behind going into Abu Dhabi, very difficult position.

Ferrari needs a 1-2 in Abu Dhabi, with McLaren finishing 4-5 or worse in order to win the WCC.

If Ferrari finishes 1-2 and Mclaren gets 4-5 + FL, Ferrari wins on countback due to having one more win.

Edit: Ferrari needs 1-2, With Mclaren finishing 4-5 and NOT GETTING FL to win on countback.

This isn't happening but I'm still as happy as I can be. Great fight till the end is all one could hope for after Canada.

Don't bother arguing with trolls please. It doesn't add anything constructive and responding to them just gives them what they want. It's not Ferrari's fault MBS and the FIA are useless. What's funny is both "Ferrari" drivers, Sainz and Hamilton, got screwed over by the mirror. To think how much chaos could've been avoided if they'd just cleaned up that mirror right away...

I'm waiting for the post-race interviews to see what Sainz has to say about car damage. I don't want to believe he was just being bullied by Gasly.

They didn't put out safety car is because Ferrari couldn't double stack if safety car was put out as the gap was less the 4.5 secs and McLaren would have lost no positions at all since the gap between them were around 9 secs.

There was no need for sc, vsc would have been enough for marshall to clean up.

Thanks to the FIA for the decision not to remove the mirror that caused Sainz to get a puncture and lose a lot of positions, helped so much

You cannot be serious.

i was being sarcastic, you know how some people just can't let go of small things and continue to talk about for weeks and weeks, its racing and things happen.

VSC couldn't be used because the field of cars were spread out and they wouldn't risk a steward running to middle of the straight to recover the debris only SC would have made that happen, even if they had put VSC or safety car, SAinz would have lost a position to Russell maybe but wouldn't have damaged Sainz nor Hamilton, so they made an eroor with that late call, and Norris penalty was just too hard and maybe 10 secs would have been justified penalty.

Sky confirms that Sainz had floor damage.

Ah, that makes more sense. A shame, FIA ruined Sainz's race completely.

1-2 is not mandatory. It's possible to win the WCC with only one car scoring points. In this case, Leclerc or Sainz winning the race and McLaren finishing in P9 and P10 at the most, or one of them finishing P8 and the other not scoring points.

It's possible to win the championship without even being on the podium in Abu Dhabi. In this case, Ferrari drivers finishing P4 and P5 and McLaren not scoring points.

It will be difficult to take 21 points from McLaren in Abu Dhabi, but it's not an impossible mission.

VSC has been used alot of times to clean up the debris.

21 points is absolutely possible. If they win the race, with the second guy on the podium, let's say you have a strong Verstappen and Merc, it's possible. McLaren can DNF, make a mistake, get penalised.

[woocasz]

Another statement from Sainz, not getting the upgrades but still putting it ahead.

where are you mate?? you've been quiet lately
22-13pts in favour of Leclerc during this weekend.
I have been watching you for a while and you clearly hate Leclerc. 69 points ahead in the drivers' standings. 14-7 in the races. What more do you want to do, to stop hating Leclerc? Start a 2025 Williams thread and comment there on how great Sainz is.

Excellent race by the perceval.

Look one comment above yours I'm right there.

There's no hate on Leclerc, but per usual any positive sentiment towards Sainz is perceived as "hate" against Leclerc. Very strange thing, toxic. Sainz did well with the old spec car and damage to his floor.
