Lewis was bang on with call suggestion for the slicks, but his inters were so dead that it wouldn't have made a difference which is why they pit him ~3 laps after the radio instead of 5 - 7 laps later.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025, 19:08The team definitely made the wrong call on the last stop for Ham. Russell had JUST made a stop for slicks and ended up off the track. Ferrari must have looked at that and thought........"how do we get THAT for ourselves??"

All in all, Ferrari and Lewis did pretty well to even come that close to the podium. Their suspension upgrade in Spa, floor update in Hungary and the somewhat positive news about Vasseur's contract are pretty reassuring. Still some positives to take from this weekend![]()
TBH i cannot remember until Michael Shumacher days where we had a good car int he wet. Maybe its the drivers i don't know. But lewis said something interesting post race "The car DNA needs to change as you can't use this kind of car [balance/set-up??] in mixed condions. Something i need to talk to the team for next year is the snappy rear is not the way to go (Charles can drive a snappy rear end car in dry Fast, so i assume he means this DNA in the car)"deadhead wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025, 18:17We have conformation for the following, which has been known for a while:
- Ferrari cars during this regulations don't do well in the rain
- LEC struggles in mixed conditions
- Pit wall struggles in mixed conditions
ALSO
+ SF25 has pace on a smooth track
+ Spa should be good (if it doesn't rain)
+ HAM is getting more comfortable with the car
