After seeing Ferrari's rear, where are the people who said Ferrari engineers are not looking for loopholes?
Nobody thinks that or said that. We just want all loopholes ruled the same by FIA.

I can see Toto running to FIA about banning everything good about SF-26
I think he's worrying about his engine 8)
If Ferrari has as good an engine as Mercedes, but without the compression trick, Toto will lose it :lol:
That will be the day :mrgreen:

Ferraris tyre degradation with the prototypes is really impressive compared to others

Autoracer reporting Ferrari got confirmation for the diffuser area last night from the FIA, so it is the part they were referring to earlier in the week (and is legal)

Also the reason they switched to a double lineup today after reporting otherwise yesterday is so both drivers could immediately give feedback on the new spec

Leclerc’s lap genuinely looks good to me, also because power aside, Ferrari is fast in the high-load corners, which is good news, even though tire and fuel variables are obviously the main deciding factors.

From the data, you can see that the Maranello team confirms its strategy of heavy energy harvesting at corner 4, followed by significant deployment on the climb toward turn 12. You can also see confirmation of McLaren’s short gear ratios (very evident from this graph).
Minimum cornering speeds here are really good. T11 has been a weakness for the team for a while now relying on strong low-to-medium cornering turn-in capability where the likes of Mclaren and Mercedes have been super strong. Looks hopefully like they've improved finally.

Leclerc is also dropping down to first, 3 times in that lap (T1, T8 and T10). In their fastest laps last week he and Hamilton only went down to second.

Likely copying Verstappen. I think they can deal with the extra instability in the rear under braking to gain more battery regen.

Ferrari have the car on stands at the moment. Looks like there's work being done according to Bernie Collins so probably won't be a race sim this evening unless they get it sorted in the next 20 minutes or so
Dear God let this be the year

They split driving duties on the first day, I assume each driver will get a race sim on Thursday and Friday
