Unnecessary bashing for Ferrari… Leclerc couldn’t close the gap to Antonelli with 14 laps younger tyre. Russell is just cruising
We were fooled by the excellent race start by LEC and his better dueling skill vs RUS
I agree, it's not all doom and gloom as it could have been.upsidedowntoast wrote: ↑08 Mar 2026, 07:20i still think Ferrari are competitive
gaps will be tighter at more energy dense circuits, everyone will get better at deployment, plus midseason upgrades can change things
if they can just get good starts and keep the mercs in dirty air at tighter tracks they have a chance, provided they don't mess up strategy
Got down to six tenths so close to that first podium but it was too little too late.vanburin wrote: ↑08 Mar 2026, 07:26I agree, it's not all doom and gloom as it could have been.upsidedowntoast wrote: ↑08 Mar 2026, 07:20i still think Ferrari are competitive

Side note, I didn't think Lewis would be able to bring that gap down the Leclerc with just 3 lap newer tyres.
