I don't think the pace was that good, the mercs were unable to pass due to Ferraris straight line speed...had the mercs taken the lead they would have gone into the distance...Jambier wrote:I'm actually very surprised with the pace of LEC in hard.

Yeah Ferrari's straight-line speed meant the Mercs were pushing more than they would have through the corners so they ate up their tires more. If we're honest, Spa and Monza were going to be damage limitation tracks for the Mercs this year, and IMO they've maximized what they could get from these two. While they always aim to win, I'm guessing that they would be happy with what they took home from those 2 races.gdanielwesley wrote: ↑08 Sep 2019, 19:53I don't think the pace was that good, the mercs were unable to pass due to Ferraris straight line speed...had the mercs taken the lead they would have gone into the distance...Jambier wrote:I'm actually very surprised with the pace of LEC in hard.

Okay. I agree with you most of the feedback but, if Ferrari could prepare a car equal to Mercedes then there is a chance to beat Hamilton/Mercedes with strong driver in Ferrari.GPR -A wrote: ↑08 Sep 2019, 17:58Leclerc was the fastest driver in Baku, until he made that crucial mistake in Q2. Otherwise, he was poised to win that one. Monaco, it was the team that screwed him in qualifying, where once again he looked stronger. Would he have beaten Lewis, can't guarantee, but a podium was certainly possible with his speed.selvam_e2002 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2019, 17:38Leclerc he is good where the care is good on the track. If the car is not suitable for a track, he is not performing. Take an example, monoco, AZERBAIJAN etc...
If Ferrari want to Win WDC and WCC, you need a all rounder driver.
It is better to bring back Alonso.
I like Alonso a lot. But any driver in a Ferrari, to beat Lewis and Mercedes combination is really tall order, even if the cars are equal. Even if Alonso comes back, he could fight at best, but it's not a certainty that he can beat the Lewis/Mercedes combo. Unless, Ferrari manages to build a car that is more than 3 tenths faster than Mercedes ON ALL CIRCUITS! If they do build a car like that, then Leclerc can do the job and it is not necessary to have Alonso!
The rate at which Leclerc is improving, I don't think Ferrari would look beyond him for a team leader. I would be happy to see Alonso back at Ferrari, but practically speaking, that is NOT going to happen.
I guess the timing is wrong also on the start of the lap. So the start/finish line in qualifying in Monza is the first one under the podium, right?
I'm an Alonso fan, but not sure this is the good idea.johnny vee wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019, 10:11In an alternate universe where Alonso was in the Ferrari in 2018 I reckon he wouldn't have made the mistakes that Vettel made in the 1st half when Ferrari had the faster car over Mercedes. I'm not bashing Vettel, but I truly think Alonso could have given Ferrari a WDC last year. My option is Vettel needs the fastest car to win, just like Hamilton.
Ferrari must bring back Alonso.
If he doesn't regain control of the team as a first driver, there will undoable be talks about his role next year. PM likes to have a WC but Leclerc is developing like crazy. Ferrari probably wants to break open his contract and offer him a "one year Kimi deal" instead of the privileges and money he gets now.
