They need to start pander Sulayem

[Xyz22]

No chance to win a race, maybe outside Monaco, unless they bring a completely new engine with way more power.

There is no way Ferrari won’t be within Aduo with this difference.


Great race by both drivers. Leclerc just needs to be a bit more conservative. I’m sure he will adapt as he always did.

Charles and Lewis after the race

Charles: "The battle against Lewis? I loved it. I'm convinced that Fred didn't love it and that the other team members surely had a bit of stress, but honestly, it's cool to see a Formula 1 race like this. In qualifying it's different. Talking with the other drivers, we all agree: in qualifying we'd need to make a few small changes. But in the race, I really had a lot of fun, whether in Australia, yesterday in the sprint, or today. Lewis was simply faster from start to finish, he was on another level this weekend, well done to him. I'm happy for him for his podium. Of course disappointed for myself to be off the podium, but that's how it is, I'll work on it to be better next time on this circuit."

Lewis: “I had so much fun! We had a great start, wasn’t able to keep these guys behind but to stay in the fight, it was one of the most enjoyable races that I’ve had in a long long time… if ever!”

“The fact that the cars are the way they are this year. The battle with Charles at the end was awesome, great wheel to wheel battle, very fair and just what we want. We gotta keep pushing!”

It's truly a shame to waste this bestial driver pairing on a engine that's not on winning pace. Their duel is going to be a classic, ferocious W2W. Nevertheless, even best case scenario the Miami package won't plug the gap, without slotting a new ICE by ADUO there is no title fight.

I don't know if you realised, but the tire management is years behind the Merc mate...
Nothing will change with a new PU, Merc will overtake them once the tires will drop off.

They don’t have deg mainly because they have way more power, therefore they can afford to push less the corners. Also with more power you can afford more downforce. Same situation as 2014-2021 era.

Bs. But love how you try to convince yourself that it's only the PU.

[Fakepivot]

anyway entertaining battle, they need to keep the energy going, im sure there lot of places to improve other than just engine, but driver are happy with the base as both have mentioned suits there style both need to motivate the team and keep the spirit high.. i really hope to see step by step improvement

Maybe it's the chassis as well, but the biggest deficit right now is the engine.

Vasseur just confirmed it.

[Hammerfist]

Starting and ending in the same position P3 and P4 wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the 30 second gap in front.. holy crap......

Congrats to Hamilton on the podium and fun racing between the two. But I don't know how Ferrari can win a race with the advantage Merc have...

Yeah they just dont' have the pace, but the one thing they do have is that clear advantage from starts. That should come in handy in Suzuka. Because it's usually very difficult to overtake there, but with these new regs who really knows.

The benefit of a strong power unit is not just straight line speed. They can run more downforce too. More downforce explains why their tire wear is superior to Ferrari's. But the chassis is clearly really good. A bit understeery but it's very planted. The one weakness is that they seem to not be able to warm up the hards fast.

Vasseur just confirmed it.

What did he say exactly? do you have the transcript by any chance?

[Xyz22]

Vasseur just confirmed that they need to keep up aero development but the main issue right now is the engine. They are expecting to be within the Aduo and that it will help them a lot.
