2021 Ferrari F1 Team

[godlameroso]

Just quickly going back to the events to take away from the weekend... without mentioning the time between the end of qualifying to before race start ( and ); It'll be interesting to see how Ferrari performs at Budapest and Singapore this year, 2 other tracks that are more downforce orientated and require a good chassis too (Hungary less so, but still holds some relevances).

I guess a fair bit of Ferrari's advantage might've been down to them getting the tyres working correctly compared to Mercedes and Red Bull (though the latter definitely found a chunk of pace on Saturday)... regardless, something to look forward to as the season progresses.

Pains all of us Tifosi though, letting a win slip through our hands like this.

Won't be the last. High altitude tracks will cut drag and let the chassis shine. Austria isn't far away.

Looks like a few upgrades are still coming according to Binotto.

According to formu1a.uno, new Ferrari simulator will be ready in June.

For those who have been talking about too big hot air exits and no raised front suspension and blah blah blah, read Tami’s Twitter. Mercedes said from the first race they could see from GPS that Ferrari is the fastest through the corners.

Not bad for 1 years progress, especially with the homologation and token system.

Not bad considering they’re just poor old struggling Ferrari with poor engineers and old technology.

(Lol)

The SF1000 was already good in the corners, it was that car's saving grace. What impresses me is that they managed to improve the car in the corners while reducing drag. I read that in 18, 19 and 20 the sealing of the floor and the rear of the car is where Ferrari were lacking the most in comparison to Mercedes and Red Bull, so it seems the floor and diffuser/brake duct cuts played into Ferrari's hands (Hence the Monaco performance, Ferrari were well behind Mercedes chassis wise in 2019 and 2020). But they did a good job with the PU especially

Car looked good in FP1 and 2. Not expecting any miracles though and it looks like they have tire deg issues to sort out.

[wowgr8]

They should revert to the FP1 rear wing. The 2 grid places gained through the skinny wing will evaporate through 50 laps if the car is eating up the tyres

FORZA FERRARI!

Not bad for redemption season.

Seriously impressed.

Mercedes giving Leclerc a tow was the key. He was a purple S1 until the red flag too.

Sainz was green until the crash and probably would’ve gone P4 at the very least. Knowing him he’ll try to get a jump at the start.

Binotto is looking like the real deal right now. If the 2022 car shows this level of improvement...

Binotto has never looked like not being the real deal. He seems to exactly know what is needed for success. With him came the significant and key change of mindset. No extreme reshuffeling and head rolling after a poor season. Consistency is what he's been seeking for and that's the way to go to build a proper working environment. He has faith in the existing (in his words also young) team. No need to do big changes, just little refinements here and there. This season we're seeing improvements on every aspect, from correlation/upgrades, strategy, car setup/preparation to pit stops.
What I also like with Binotto is his straightforwardness. No illusions, just straight facts. From the beginning on he's told fans that it will take some time to get on top eventually.

This, in my opinion is why Toto and co do not like Binotto. Remember when he was all chummy with Arrivebene? As soon as Binotto came in, all that changed.
Binotto doesn’t muck around, stand around for fancy photographs or pretend to know things that he doesn’t have any idea.
Hopefully he can rally the team for greater success next year.

2 types of people have no time for BS, mechanics and engineers, and to a certain extent drivers. They know all too well, a little bit of BS can ruin everything, a little bit of sloppy workmanship is all it takes to break a part. Those people are the most honest straightforward people you can interact with. They understand the cost of BS'ing, so to them it becomes a personal mantra to avoid it. Their personality reflects this understanding they have, if you want real results you have to put your head down and work. Reality is not kind or merciful to your feelings or opinions, you either fall in line, or you fall off.

100% agree… I really like Binotto. No-nonsense. Admit your mistakes and your shortcomings and face them head on. No need to make rash, knee-jerk reactions. Continuous improvement is the key.

People fail to see the bigger picture. The stability and faith is the biggest key. You can't believe in something if it's not real, what better way to make something real other than permanence. Ferrari itself is built on that permanence, that's what makes it real. The history of Ferrari, the buildings, the tracks, the cars, the soul of the people built around it, it's real, it's something people can believe in from the bottom of their hearts. That's why they have such passion. How can you feel that passion if what you have isn't real, built on something real and tangible for the world to see and feel.

If you are in touch with that reality, with that eternal truth, great things can happen. That is the soul that inspired Italian artistry.
