FP1 went very well.

Too well if you ask me...
I'm sceptical.

They were 1-2 in FP1 last year as well

They used the new engine in the 2 FP VP"s?

Looks like I was right about the Schuie inspiration car - the F310 from 1996.

Yea, they did the same in Austria when they introduced the first engine upgrade, most likely collect as much data as possible

Long run pace looks decent

charles sending it over ascari chicken 's last corner is sight to behold.. ferrari seem competitive, well managed race from both driver and pitwall/pit crew can take them to win imo.. hope strategist have woken up from summer brake and not sleeping like last race

The car seemed to be bottoming quite a bit and will likely loose performance if they have to raise it

Charles finished second in FP2, 0.1s behind Russell, considering that the SF-26 loses almost 0.5s on the straights . They are running heavily detuned.

a summary of the ‘new’ engine after two practice sessions:
*Similar peak power (to Mercedes)
*Deployment lasts less, resulting in lower mid-straight speed

They still need to make more deployment compromises compared to Mercedes.

Leclerc vs Antonelli FP2 personal best laps:



Leclerc gains massively on the run towards Parabolica despite running a chunkier rear wing (they even left the "4th element" winglets on)

New power unit looking strong so far.

Leclerc’s speed and exit out of Parabolica isn’t great. Needs to work on that overnight.

No idea about engine modes but one of the Haas cars is still running the old spec:

Now that is a finally good retro tribute from Ferrari.

It’s funny because in the pictures on here it doesn’t look much different than usual but on track - especially with Leclerc’s tribute helmet - it looks great and really remind me of Schumacher. I think the specific colour red is the key and comes over different on the video cameras.

That ‘96 car really looks like a toy now - not just because of the size but also the simplicity. Ah, simpler times, how we miss you!

How do you know they are detuned?

Or to look at it another way, I've never know Mercedes run full power in practice, so they are detuned too.
