I'm not too sure about that honestly... there's been a few races this season where Charles has managed to get a solid result down to great tyre management. Yes, might've been do with the driver more than the car, but it still goes both ways. Maybe in more recent races, Ferrari has struggled a bit due to a lack of upgrades or running the car in different configurations work the tyres more etc (they were useless on the Softs last time out at Nurburgring) but theres been flashes of good tyre management in some of the races.
I was a little bit ironic.gordonthegun wrote: ↑21 Oct 2020, 23:40Here in Italy today journalists say: "New diffuser in Portugal!".
It seems Cardile talked about it and hopes it may bring a big improvement.
Floor and diffuser are those with the restrictions of 2021 regulations: no slots in the floor and lower channel walls in the diffuser.MtthsMlw wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 20:30Vertical strakes are cut a bit different.

The vertical strakes are also shorter apart from being cut differently, now the 4 middle ones are same hight as the ones from the outsideMtthsMlw wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 20:30Vertical strakes are cut a bit different.

SF1000 doesn't like the softer compounds and especially not in colder conditions. It's always had a front end problem (carried over from last year) and has problems getting the fronts to workSchippke wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 15:11I'm not too sure about that honestly... there's been a few races this season where Charles has managed to get a solid result down to great tyre management.

As for 2nd/3rd row of the grid, 3rd would be realistic... since Mercedes has checked out and the gap to Red Bull is still too large for this season. You only need to look at the gaps at the last race to see how far ahead Mercedes and Max were from the rest of the field, showing the space elevator that Ferrari would need to climb to claw back that kind of performance this year...
This is launch spec, only used in the Austrian GP.amr wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 21:54It also looks like they have a seconds option here with only two vertical strakes
