2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Remember when some people mocked Leclerc for being "only" 0.6s quicker than Bearman?

In Baku, Bearman was quicker than Hulkenberg pretty much

And also that Ferrari made a mistake by trusting Bearman, that Bearman's result in Jeddah was purely luck, that he would immediately get his ass kicked in F1... For whatever reason, some people really want the kid to fail.

F2 has more talent than F1 can accommodate, and drivers like Bearman and Colapinto are proof of that. While I don't think Bearman has the same potential as rookie prodigies like Leclerc and Piastri based on his progress since F4, I can see him developing into a driver similar to Sainz. Near the top of the field with the ability to secure a few wins along the way.

Ferrari has a strong lineup of potential members in the future between Bearman, Câmara, and Taponen.

It's a shame that Ferrari keeps losing points, but frankly I think the gap to McLaren is insurmountable and P2/P3 doesn't really matter much to Ferrari, given their infinite resources.

I don't think bonuses other than WCC position bonuses (coming from FOM) can pass under budget cap, but I may have misunderstood that...

I think in Baku it was possible p1 and p2 (If Charles had kept Oscar behind, then he would have killed the tyres and would have been vulnerable to attacks towards the end of the race), in Singapore, well I believe in Charles magic in quali, and probably p1 and p5 maybe p4 (Even at p2 after the quali, with these Lando tactics, we will had the option of doing the undercard for free)

Sounds a bit too optimistic for me tbh, but in perfect races I guess both were possible

Yeah, people love having reverse logic when it comes to sports. When a rookie does well relative to his team mate, it's never an outsatnding job from the rookie, it's always the team mate who failed...

By the way yes, top 3 in WCC will give us a lot of bonuses in wind tunnel and cfd in preparation for 2026. Maybe that's a good thing.

I meant that Ferrari doesn't care about prize money because they are limited by the budget capm so WCC position doesn't really matter all that much.

We have the historical bonus payout, or whatever it is. I remember that in 2020, Ferrari got more payout for 6th place in the WCC than Merc did for first.

Ferrari has infinite money. It's insane how much funding they have and how much they would be spending if they got rid of the budget cap.

Yeah I understood, but I think these WCC position bonuses for employees are excluded so they could end up being used as intended - end of year bonus for a job well done
