2026 Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 Team

[Xyz22]

Leclerc needs to manage deficit if they’re considering jumping back from ADUO otherwise it would be on his shoulder in comparison to Vettel’s case.

Leclerc has now a 37 pt deficit over 4 races despite taking huge risks to outperform faster cars. By driving “safely” Ferrari can only finish P5-P6 and there are still 8 races left till Monza where the PU will likely be introduced. Finishing P5 means losing 15 pt per race. I leave the calculations to you guys.

This weekend was crucial and it has been a disaster. Terrible pace, terrible strategy, terrible pit stops, terrible reliability and mistakes by the drivers who are already under massive pressure. As of now, we are looking at a 150/160 pt deficit after the first half of the season.

- "It was the scenario from the start: everything revolved around tire management and temperature. When you're in a good position, the pace is there. That's true for us, but also for everyone else, with big performance fluctuations. It's very easy to overheat the tires and lose performance. It's a tough race to read. In the first part, when we were leading, for the first 15 to 20 laps, we managed to hold our position; it wasn't easy, but everything was under control. Then, however, the safety car came out."


- "When the safety car came onto the track, the others used push-to-pass mode, we lost positions, and from there, the race became much more difficult. We suffered too much from overheating, especially at the rear tire level."

- "There was a big gap between the first 17 laps and the rest of the race. We'd already had the same feeling yesterday: a very strong first part, then more difficulties at the end of the race. We need to learn the lessons from what happened and fix this issue."

- "With a clear track, the pace was good; we could stay in the slipstream of the others. We had more trouble when we were in the pack, well-positioned on the track. We don't have an advantage on the straights, and that's a problem when you're in the thick of the fight. You lose positions easily when the others use push-to-pass mode."

- "It's an overall issue, not just the engine. We need to work on all aspects. We managed to lead with relative ease for the first 15 to 17 laps, which means we can hold on even longer. Let's focus on Canada and try to bring improvements as soon as possible to make progress."

- "It's possible to fight for the title right up to the last race. The important thing is to have the pace needed to battle for the win. We have issues to fix, but we know what needs to be done."

- "Lewis had a lot of problems, including engine temperature issues, and had to manage his pace to protect the power unit. For him, it was more of a survival race until the end."

Do we know what was going on with Charles’ car at he end?

Piastri passed him in SLM, yet charles’ rear wing was closed, from what is could see, and I don’t know about the FW, then moments later, he spins

Some sort of a failure caused an imbalance?

"Did you deliberately close the wing to let him through?"

"Charles: "That was part of the strategy, but well, the strategy didn't work. If I'd stayed ahead, I was sure Oscar would overtake, because they had way too much speed on the straights, especially in sector two, which was my strength at the start of the race. By the end, with the worn tires, I no longer had that strength, so I knew I absolutely had to activate Overtake mode. So he passed as expected, but then I made the mistake, and that threw all the effort in the trash."

no he did it on purpus, like the old drs game.. try to let him on the last corner use the push to pass mode to come back later.. but din't work his tires were too much dead end up spining

Thanks, seems a bizarre strategy

No he closed it on purpose to recharge and get OVERTAKE on Piastri because he was slow due to very worn tyres (pitted way earlier). Then he tried to stay close in high speed and lost the car.

It was predicted that this could happen, drivers choosing to be behind before starting the last lap so they get the overtake mode. Don't think it will work.

It doesn't make sense either because on the last lap the defending driver can use the boost mode until the battery is completely flat because there is no lap afterwards.

20 second penalty for Charles

20 second penalty for Charles

Congrats Charles! There's your reward for 'pushing hard' according to your excusers.

[AR3-GP]

That is a lot more than Hamilton got in Singapore last year.

[FNTC]

20s for cutting corners with broken steering is pretty insane... It's not like he gained lots of time in total.

Edit: I see he has a 1:49.834 on the last lap, around 15s off the people around him.

[zibby43]

That is a lot more than Hamilton got in Singapore last year.

It's essentially a drivethrough.

[ScuderiaLeo]

Did they say anything about why 20 over 5 seconds? I thought it was a similar situation to Hamilton in Singapore last year, but he only got 5 there if I recall
