Seems like Ferrari has slipped to 4th best. Antonelli, Mclaren, and Verstappen had more pace imo.
tbh we shall see once everyones first round of upgrades shake out next race. Hams race was destroyed by collapinto ramming into him on lap 1. too bad he started behind max because had he started p5 or 7 he wouldve been through. after getting stuck in no mans land ham just drove it easy to the line. leclerc once again got too desperate and made a big error. shouldve been p4 and perhaps p5/6 at worst.

Awful result considering the effort from the team to bring the upgrades and also a waste of a fresh engine which is in desperate need of an upgrade. Canada will be painful unless it rains but the car should go well around Moanco especially with the new tests for the compression ratio coming into play.
just watch the tests turn out to be a nothingburger just like TD39 on RB in 2022.
Probably but Monaco should be good for this team regardless, the engine upgrade will be the teams biggest upgrade of the season given that Mercedes and RB won't be able to do the same.

Gutted for Leclerc. He deserved that podium.

Team dropped the ball today. Slow pitstop and very early one as well.

Give him a few more laps and Leclerc doesn't need to push like hell to be ahead of Piastri.

I really hope they fix that Fiat engine soon.

I agree, we are just seeing a snapshot in time. The development steps in this first year can change the pecking order every 3 races.

Leclerc's mistake was out of pure frustration, from a driver who is unable to control his emotions and unable to mature, making the same silly mistakes as years ago. He could have taken 4th place, but he chose to rage and throw away 4 points.
true, he also rages at any and all strategies.. this is kind of a thing since 25.. gap between top 4 team is small there no room to leave points like that.. concistancy is what they need to aim before the engine upgrade.. but yea feels bad for both driver and team.. hope they recover

Leclerc unable to handle pressure ? He let piastri pass him to use the overtake mode in the last lap, and the tires were gone. You probably are a Lewis fan trying to blame Leclerc, Lewis had bad luck with that crash with Colapinto. But charles right now, is much better than Lewis.
Me, a Lewis fan? I literally said he should retire last year. The rules change and he's still just as far behind Leclerc.

By some divine miracle, he didn't throw the whole race away by destroying the car in the barriers.
as opposed to what? you think bearman can jump right in and perform miracles? when you look at the timesheets ham is only 1 tenth or 2 on avg behind which is normal for driver pairings. by your metric all # drivers should give up their seat because they are slower than their #1s. tell that to alonso.

Verstappen you mean Jos? Surely not Max, who preceded Leclerc by 3 tenths despite the spin. And even if Max concluded ahead of Leclerc normally, that would not make Ferrari fourth car on the grid in ant case, considering how Red Bull is hopeless if not in hand of Max.

I also find it incredible that there's always a large group of people excusing Leclerc for these mistakes, which I've never seen from any other driver.

Any other driver making the same mistakes as Leclerc would be called Maldonado 2.0 or worse.

also this driver spat need to go, if you here you support the team, if you only here to bad mouth when team or driver is down then you are nothing but trolls.. seriously if you are using forum i assume you are atlist a 30 years above, but some of the comments here sound like 12 year olds..

I'm struggling to interpret your message. Can you make this more understandable?

On pace, it did look like Verstappen, Antonelli, and the Mclarens had the legs. Verstappen's 50 laps stint, where for a large part Leclerc wasn't able to recover any ground despite 15 laps fresher tires suggest as much.

he is always complaining about everything and everyone

i am starting to think he has a bad influence on ferrari devlopement during the years by giving them bad feedback because he is always frustrated with everything and taking them in a bad direction for updates

Leclerc is being investigated for an unsafe release, I guess during the long pit stop

also him, Russell, and Verstappen are each being investigated for collisions (from what I understand one is between just Rus and Ver, then Rus and Lec, then another investigation for the three together? someone can clarify if this is wrong this is based on the FIA messages)

Edit: also being investigated for driving unsafely and cutting corners because part of his car broke during the spin

Seems like with the upgrades we got new car characteristics , I mean it is just one race but there is a hint it isn't too kind on the tyres anymore.

Have you ever heard of tire saving? Leclerc pushed when needed and was clear of Max very easily. In any case even if Max had a very tiny margin on the Ferraris, this is not going to make Ferrari the fourth best team in any case, if not in the words of pathetical haters.
