When Vanja returns to forum then it’s time to jump on the hype train. Until then, I’m restrained

Anyone knows why he left?

iirc he is just super busy

I wonder why

These cars look properly fast

Let's not overreact, 2020 cars were properly fast in general, and 2025 cars were proper fast in medium and high speed corners. 2026 cars are neither of those.

Let's wait until the first proper qualifying before jumping on the "2026 cars are much slower" narrative. I have the opposite opinion.

He is here still, just with a different username to avoid conflict of interest.

Ferrari is leaving Bahrain happy; correlation is good, they're satisfied with durability. Performance is also good.

There are also new parts prepared for Melbourne.

Both Leclerc and Hamilton have given positive feedback so far. But they're aware that Mercedes is keeping its hand hidden.

Lewis and Charles seen leaving the paddock in good moods as well for whatever thats worth

I think the merc keeping it's hand hidden part is more bs on the part of the journalist than anything else. With a cost cap and extremely restrictive regulations, it is very risky for teams to try and play games.

Russell was 0.5 off Leclerc on C3s losing 0.7 on the straights. After that he passed through the pits and then went on for a 10-lap long run starting in the 35s (which nobody else ever touched throughout testing in neutral deployment). So he was on 25-30kg at least. Call it hiding or something else

Does team need to declare the new updates for season opener?

Cheat engine is certainly paying dividends

This year is Ferrari's year to prove that it can innovate AND win, so if they win, everybody will be prepping them up like Mercs in the future. It didn't use to be like this, I remember in 2018 and 19 they were actually rated at the top, even having a slight edge over Mercedes. 2020 completely killed that image and while 22 was better, ultimately they couldnt win nor did they develop in a way that won. So dont let the commentator guys bother you, they'll come around

Also imo Ferrari have an advantage with the turbo because they stuck with the conventional layout for the entire hybrid era. Must've learned some things

I’d argye that Ferrari did keep up with development in 2022. There is just nothing they could do about their entire car concept being destroyed with a mid-season TD.

Up until Spa 2022 they were easily on par with Red Bull. It’s only after TD39 that their car turned into a tyre destroyer that couldn’t keep up. The narrative that Ferrari was getting out-developed before then is a false one caused by tye points tally shifting in favour of Red Bull. But that was really only down to strategy and reliability blunders.

Just wait till it gets banned mid season and all the Merc fanboys start whining

This.
Ferrari just went on a mad spree from Spain to Hungary 2022 screwing Leclerc over so much that the true performance of the car was never fairly evaluated. There is a good chance Leclerc would have had a substantial lead over Max before TD39, luck neutralized on both sides

The quantity of steering lock Kimi is obliged to apply is huge, the merc seems to rely a bit more on its rear end compared to the ferrari
