I think it's time they drop the development on this car and focus fully on 26 from now on, i still think they might hang onto P3 in constructors at the end of this year if Tsunoda struggles and Max has some bad races, but expecting anything more is a miracle.
They just redirected the already allocated resources for aero development to this new suspension (will it work? I'm not so sure knowing Ferrari. Touching a suspension is critical so...). I would have stopped SF 25 development immediately because clearly the WDC and WCC are completely impossible to achieve (which was the goal of the season), but Ferrari is run by incompetents so yeah...cliffgamerz wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 18:06I think it's time they drop the development on this car and focus fully on 26 from now on, i still think they might hang onto P3 in constructors at the end of this year if Tsunoda struggles and Max has some bad races, but expecting anything more is a miracle.
I would be a terrible TP as well, don't get me wrong.dialtone wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 18:29I'm obviously wrong because I appear to be the only one not confident enough to be able to run an F1 team, but the race pace times look pretty decent.
LEC/HAM came out 8-9 laps after VER to do their race sim, and particularly on the softs the times were comparable to RBR.
Merc did a long stint on the softs, probably to try and check a 1 pit stop strategy doing S-M, their times are a bit slow but mostly because of this.
MCL is just faster than the rest on either a 1 stop or a 2 stop.
Call me whatever you want but from FP2 times and setups, apart from MCL it looks pretty close across the top.
Piastri is the outlier because he was running at the same pace as the Mercedes 1:20.8 - 1:20.9 on average. So, Mclaren were running a very aggressive long run program once again with Norris just to see how the tyres hold up.dialtone wrote: ↑30 May 2025, 18:29I'm obviously wrong because I appear to be the only one not confident enough to be able to run an F1 team, but the race pace times look pretty decent.

Right, I think PIA was running a 1 stop sim, while NOR was the opposite.SB15 wrote: Piastri is the outlier because he was running at the same pace as the Mercedes 1:20.8 - 1:20.9 on average.
