Ferrari is risking a lot with the new engine as they might face problems like Honda. Hopefully they can make something good for at least once those 19 years in that Maranello factory.

Isn't it about time the Ferrari community get along?
Where were you last week?
I've technically been here from the Barcelona GP and it's a pity seeing the Ferrari community be at war instead of celebrating a very good result.
Well the issue is that a lot of these guys aren’t Ferrari fans - they would have been in the Mercedes thread a few years ago. It’s definitely getting very boring

We’re always a tenth or two away on the second runs - everyone finds a step except us, happens so often. After the first runs it was looking pretty decent but always seems to go away from us at the end.

No matter how good race pace is, at a track like this I’m sure we’re in for another frustrating race in traffic.

Engine is weak or the suspension aero combo just doesn't work with varying tyre pressures / ride heights. Sector 3 is possibly a power sector. The RB and Merc engines were faring were making like 4 tenths on us.

The same can be said about the other side. There are a lot of fans who are Leclerc fans than Ferrari. Its becoming very boring indeed.

Real gap between McLaren and Ferrari today was 0.5s as Norris completely --- up the last corner, losing 0.3s.
McLaren has now a superior aero package compared to Ferrari, but this was clear for who actually watched the races, despite some people talking about world champion :lol: :lol: . Moreover, this is the first time in many years that Ferrari has not a top driver pairing. Leclerc is undeperforming massively compared to 2025 or 2024, but he is still more or less on pace with Hamilton in terms of pure speed. Terrible.

Zero lap time gained in the corners outside the last one. On the contrary Hamilton lost time in some corners. McLaren will completely disintegrate Ferrari.

This was not unexpected if you really looked at the track map. 2/3rds of Madring are tracks that Lando just crushed everyone on.

Ferrari even being near was the surprise.

Ferrari is 0.5s off in terms of pure performance. Is that "near"?

Which driver is using the ADUO-2 engine, and which is using the ADUO-1? Im confused...
It's not a huge difference the press made it seem like, if you want to push the narrative of exceptional work with a weaker engine.

By the way, good job to both drivers. Unfortunately, this is the best result we can achieve on this track. All that's left is to dream of a good (and clean) start tomorrow and try to hold off the faster cars somehow.
There's telemetry on this forum that shows evidence of the engine upgrade being significant. We have a direct comparison between Bearman and Ocon from Monza.

This is turning out to be just another average Ferrari season with extra unnecessary drama inside the team.

I'm reading conflicting reports abou that. Federico Albano, from Formula Passion, refuted the information above he himself had posted:



Vasseu himself mentioned Leclerc's engine disadvantage in an interview, if I'm not mistaken.

From potential pole to P4-P5. What a shame...
It´s always like that for the Ferrari´s fans(actually, their driver´s fans), isn´t it?! Always a big hope for pole and always a big let down. But that´s what happens when you have very hyped qualifiers

Mercedes thread used to have way more pages than Ferrari´s up untill 2025. Since then, Ferrari is only second to AM Honda. This place was destined to become toxic....

Yeah. Leclerc is overated and appears to be hindered by the new cars and his team mate was just never quick enough, regardless of age or regulation
