2026 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne, March 06 - 08

Ferrari doing Ferrari things with the strategy.

Some things never change.

Ferrari strike again, they had 2 chances to box as well, absolute madness from these guys, what are they looking at? seriously what are they looking at? in what world doesnt this make sense?

I kept saying that the Merc qualy advantage wasn't as terrible as it looked. Max didn't run, and the Ferraris had deployment issues due to software or something. Plus both Mclaren and RB are overweight so that's more free tenths once they iron out their aero.

It’s forecasted to be a one stopper, so now Merc has to go super long.

TBD

Its wrong but i don't see the point really, MB is playing with everyone in this race. Just see the 10 seconds when they will be 0. Whenever they want they just press the pedal, so much is the difference they have from an the rest.

No DRS trains to be seen. Just big gaps.

Ferrari likely realizes they aren't fast enough to match Mercedes if they match them strategy wise, so trying an opposite.

That and there is guaranteed to be more SCs in this race.

Linblad didn't get the memo.

Expect him to wave Max by at the next race.

[AR3-GP]

Ferrari getting screwed by the VSC again.

We may only have 9 or 10 cars take the flag at this rate so there may be more free stop opportunities later.

Wow, we really loved DRS trains. How will we live without them.

That and the super clipping in the fast corners means tires should last longer as loads are less.

As it seems mediums can last full race. Ferrari botched it for sure

[Sergej]

can Mercedes go to end ?

[matt_b]

I just dont understand their reasoning, at least box 1 car at the very least, this is just crazy, and they had 2 chances as well, its not like they had to make a quick decision and bottled it, they had 2 laps to pit under the VSC, what data do they have?
