2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

That would be wild. With the mclarens around them you’d think they would expect plenty of clean air. Mclaren was expected to pull away from them if not at the start but at the pit stops with an undercut. Sorry but I’ve heard all sort of theories I just don’t buy this one at all.

Driving in clean air behind the McLarens and in front of them are two different things. In the first case, you can slow down, use lico and other methods to protect the plank. In the second, you have to drive at full speed.
ps.

Still doesn't make sense. There isn't a constant amount of turbulent air at the level of being right behind another car. It would have been the same for Charles if Oscar had got ahead and pulled a 5+ second gap.

And I don't believe parc ferme applies to tire pressure, which is set on the grid. Easy enough to adjust for the swing in temperature.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe what they're saying is that the team just made a mistake when choosing tire pressures mid-race. The AR article said Ferrari had low correlation across the weekend so a larger swing in temperature means even more chance for them to make an error (because it's an even further deviation from what they'd planned for.)

Everyone had bad correlation that weekend, not just Ferrari. MCL was 0.5+ ahead of everyone before Q3, then they are back in line. 1.5psi is just not enough to unsettle a car to that degree, there have been races with 2+ psi changes from day to day, just look at post 2021 Baku when Max tire exploded.

Pretty simply they don’t really know the car they are dealing with, more so than others. The window of this car is shockingly small, and when it’s out of window it’s a very steep cliff. When it’s in window it’s close to MCL, even with the plank wear issue. As the article states the chassis and suspension platform isn’t built to work with this aero platform well enough.

been the case since TD039

why does everyone point towards TD039? imo they should have switched to downslope side pod in 2023 starting year itself, imagine if first sf24 was introduced in 2023 they would have more to learn about new concept and maybe could have been stronger this year
