2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Should've taken an engine in Brazil.

This is the battery. Do teams really take a lot of extra batteries?

This just seems like bad luck.

hard to say. Alonso never even took his 2nd one, while Sauber is at its 4th already, probably using the same as Ferrari?

So basically now Carlos HAS to win and Leclerc has to pray that he can recover while a McLaren gets caught up in an incident pretty much. I'm sure the McLaren drivers will be told to just bring it home no matter what and that their only job is to not crash the car, even if that means finishing off the podium.

That is unless Leclerc has a rocketship like Hamilton in Brazil 2021 or Verstappen at Spa 2023.

At least Ferrari have the advantage of having literally nothing to lose. Leclerc needs to finish ahead of both McLarens, so he can go all out and take any risks required.

What will be infuriating is if Ferrari actually do show pace to finish 1-2, but cant because Leclerc had to start so far back.

What a lousy way to end the season.

Overheating? There is no way the have the opposite issue again considering the track temperature

i am watcing while working but it don't look good from the onboard even the race pace.

[IntrinsicVoid]

From FOM it said that McLaren is 0.5/0.6 faster. Regardless of the grid penalty it doesn’t look too good.

[SoulPancake13]

I feel less bad about the penalty now, we are nowhere. McLaren seem much faster.

Fred: "The penalty? Since last week, we were in survival mode, giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to the drums between all the sessions, and now, it wouldn't work anymore. So, we didn't want to take any risks: we're taking the penalty, but we're going to try to do our best."

there definitely drop in performance in race pace is it due to that TD which was introduced in las Vagas ??

I don't think it is the TD. They just cannot get the fronts working, same story every time. This introduces graining in long run as well...

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I would invite the drivers who are left without a place in F1 for 2025 as Ferrari simulator drivers (Bottas or Zhou Guanyu, whoever). They have experience driving these cars in the current Venturi era, in qualifying and race modes with a Ferrari engine. Give them the opportunity to drive F1-75/SF23 and let them sit in the simulator on the SF25 looking for good settings next year instead of the current drivers. Who is their simulator driver in Maranello?

Hülkenberg's long run on softs was the fastest of all, half a second quicker than the McLaren on mediums. If Ferrari is able to get those tires to last instead, they may still have a shot.

Having a full season without at least two Leclerc mechanical issues was too good to be true...

And to make things even worse for Leclerc, apparently he had food poisoning... he's getting all his bad luck from post-Montreal in this one weekend

Disappointing, but at this point there's nothing to lose - WCC is lost anyway - so I hope the team closes out the season on a positive note.
