No extreme setup. The car has still gotten better in qualifying. It's still a weakness, but not quite as big as before. Just gotta rely on starting as far up as possible and then using any superior race pace to get ahead or take advantage of some luck/good strategy.
Our real hope for the WCC is gonna mainly come from hoping Piastri(or maybe Norris) has a day off and Leclerc and Sainz remain in good form. Cuz on pure pace, Mclaren are obviously superior and will still be decent favorites for WCC.
Sadly, I think Sainz's crashes cost Ferrari the WCC. Even though Baku wasn't his fault and Singapore was more of an overall team failure... they happened, and between his 3 crashes in this second half of the year Ferrari has lost at least 30 points.
A close P2, while not what people want, would still be something to be proud of as in the middle of the season it seemed like they were on for a P3 or even P4. At least they can say they took the fight to McLaren and with a bit of luck could have even taken the title.
I guess if Ferrari get a 1-2 in the upcoming races there's still a chance but that doesn't seem very likely.
I wonder what F1.uno mean by the team bringing something to Vegas but not using it entirely. Do they mean testing something for 2025?
