It is bad news, horrible news. Ferraris by far most important sponsor and partner is gone and 150 mil dollar year deal.
Can't read such posts anymore. Ferrari's aero/chassis team is by no means bad. In fact, Ferrari has had best aero in 2017 and even partly in 2018. They had championship winning cars in both years, but lost it due to a weak engine in 2017 and then due to driver errors, strategical mistakes and correlation issues in 2018. In 2019 and after that, what made them lose out massively was the engine saga.
I wouldn't mind that colour. It looks like a nice Barolo redjumpingfish wrote: ↑07 Feb 2022, 09:13I guess if Ferrari named the F1-75 in honor of the 75th anniversary of their car 125s, then the color can be close to it.

since 1996 PMI did all the marketing, sponsor relations and merchandise for Ferrari. That is a serious blow and, on top of the stress of a new car, a lot of new things to manage.
Yes, Ferrari, a multi-billion dollar brand, can't possibly handle those functions. Get real.
Yeah. But not redbull of Mercedes level.. redbull won races with 80bhp deficit and ferrari haven't won a race since 2019.. that shows a aerodynamic chassis area not being top specLM10 wrote: ↑07 Feb 2022, 20:13Can't read such posts anymore.

We also have to bear in mind that with Binotto the team has finally found some stability. No head rollings, no fear of having to lose the job, no pressure. The first opportunity to see the fruits of that was in 2021. Even with massive technical restrictions the team has managed to take 3rd place - the goal they had set themselves at the beginning of the season. The've successfully addressed all weaknesses they have had for years and showed improvements in every one of them. They don't have correlation issues anymore to begin with. Their brand-new simulator which has been a huge effort has been calibrated and used for the first time at the last phases of last season. Also, did you see their crazy aero rake? Do you think that's a thing of only a couple of months work? That rake alone is the product of really hard and long-lasting job, a mega project. Not to mention the simulator. These tools are of big significance.
This year they're setting their goal much higher and I honestly don't see a single reason at the moment why they would not deliver.
