2026 Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 Team

[Xyz22]

Needs a better engine. Macarena nonsense can wait. It brings its own headache with closure.

Need a lot better engine. Small turbo was supposed to help with starts. Explain McLaren today.

Sack Fred if Mercedes advantage stays true even after engine compression tests.

Today the red lights lasted longer, if you sum 5 sec of starting procedure and red lights time you get the 10 seconds Mercedes was asking for during the tests.
Also, this was one of the worst tracks for energy harvesting, so Alpine and McLaren benefitted a lot from their PU.

McLaren benefitted a lot from no deg as well.
But yeah Ferrari PU is not good. They need a new one.

I'm afraid the Ham bashers will need to wait for another race to make their point

If Lewis had a problem, they should have swapped earlier.

If the team was aware of a problem on Hamilton’s car they would’ve swapped the cars so it seems like they somehow didn’t know about it.

Yeah. Let us all just pretend there was a real problem there which wasn´t detected by the hundreds of sensors(being monitored by hundreds of engineers) on his car. Better luck next time , I guess (well, he already had a massive luck with that SC but let´s just hope he has even more luck next time around)

Lewis only managed to get ahead of Charles thanks to a lucky safety car.

He made his own luck by keeping the tyres alive in stint one

mate... did you even watch the race?
Are you familiar with terms such as ‘overcut’ and ‘undercut’?
how about Oscar? driving in 1st place, in the free air, did he have to change the tyres because they were worn out?
no!
please stop this nonsense

Leclerc was consistently down ~5% battery capacity in China, compared to Hamilton, following every braking zone, but Leclerc didn't make a comment post-race about "being down on power" compared to his teammate. He congratulated Hamilton for being better across the weekend, and moved on.

I can only imagine the consternation (among certain folks) had Leclerc claimed, "I was down on power to my teammate ... for some reason", following China.

The Hamilton sub Reddit would melt

I see this is de-evolving into a LEC vs HAM thread again...

I assume Ferrari will come out and say soon whether Hamilton had an issue or not. Either way, great job by Charles to keep Russell behind. Need to hope that ADUO saves this season.

Im not sure i'm understanding your post. Oscar had graining on the tyres meaning he had to pit. Ham was still doing consistent lap times until the safety car. Everyone has the same opportunity...

Hamilton gave Charles credit in his interview as well.

Nice bit of whataboutism in the last part of your post, these alleged Hamilton fans seem to bother you a lot... how about we compliment the team on a solid job

[FDD]

Lewis hasn't been on it this weekend. You could sort of tell from practice already that he was playing catchup. In any case, I was a bit disappointed with Ferrari's pace in general here. I thought it would be better, but I guess the FP2 "longruns" were a bit deceiving. Particularly on McLaren's side. They were better than I thought they would be.

Ferrari has aero inefficiency and a poor PU. It would always punish them on this efficiency track. They need the macarena wing.

Regarding the aero inefficiency, do you have any comparison with Haas for example, don't get me wrong I am not saying that you are not right, but if you have some analyses I want to see them, for better understanding. Thank You

Seen a lot of in-fighting between the fans, arguing who is the 'better' driver. I dont understand the point, its different when you compare/defend drivers from other teams since they have different cars but here its just pointless. As a fan, you cant defend your driver out of being outperformed by their teammate with the same car. They have to face the fire on their own to defend their standing. Who ever wins is the better driver and there can be no doubt.

In this case we know both Lec and Ham are incredibly close. Like in China and Japan, the momentum will shift from race to race. One race does not decide anything. We will see who is the better driver at the end.

Anyway, I see Ferrari getting overtaken by other teams towards the end of the season. I guess RB and Audi will pass them as Mclaren already have

As for your guess of RB and Audi passing Ferrari: I had a good laugh, thanks for that.

As for McLaren having passed Ferrari: I didn’t see that. In the race they were pretty even. And that’s all up to McLaren starting to figure out how to manage the strongest power unit in this engine formula.

The truth is they are only close & will likely finish the season close because this formula handcuffs the drivers.
Personally I feel if it wasn't for that, Lec beats Hamilton comfortably over the season.

"I honestly can’t stand qualifying, it’s a f***ing joke!

I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f***’s sake, I'm losing everything in the straight!"

This is so sad to hear.

Absolutely.

This battery formula is ---. If they just increase the fuel flow a bit and bring the compression ratio back to 18:1 it would be enough. But im sure all of us here know that

[ScuderiaLeo]

Did Vasseur say anything about the macarena wing or what specific upgrades would be brought in Miami?
