This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
Given that the current engine isn't even the one they wanted to put in.. it's surprisingly quite good no? From the story, I would've expected it to be a lot worse.
It depends on how you look at it. Ferrari could be Red Bull-Renault in terms of chassis doing more work than the PU.

I would argue it is a net positive, although disappointing that a chassis born like this is being wasted by Zimmerman's failed steel cylinder. I guess Gualtieri's promotion was likely because he came in and saved the engine (so to speak)
People were crazy here a few days ago saying that Autoracer was hyping Ferrari up before the season, they knew something was up with the engine and could have been a complete shitshow. That's why there were the "last minute changes" reports, that might have been when Ferrari ditched the Zimmermann engine and had to find a way to put the other one on the car. Now that it appears to have worked out fine after Bahrain and Melbourne, AR are certainly more confident.
I wonder if we are in the "diminishing returns" phase of ICE development if a rushed version of the 2025 engine can perform fine, not only with Ferrari but with Haas as well.
