I am not the one who supports one side of the garage, or cries for our driver to get a penalty. McLaren are welcome to you.

I feel sad for Charles, not the best season for him
DNF is Bahrain
Penalty in Jeddah
DNF in Australia and with Ferrari reliability/Strategy errors more to come as the season progresses.
Sainz did his best, as I said many a times in F1 you need some luck along with car.
Unfortunately ferrari is at the opposite end of the above.
Was Max even in his Box at the start? Maybe that’s a penalty…
What a nightmare start this season been so far.
Only positive from today: The race pace was good. I hope they have finally found a good base setup for this car.
Average gap from Red Bull
Qualifying
+0.2 Ferrari
+0.4 Aston/Mercedes
Race average gap now
+0.6 Aston =
+0.7 Mercedes (0.8)
+0.75 Ferrari (0.9)
With no bouncing W14 & SF-23 clearly recovered ~0.3”s on race pace.
Last floor spec working is only good news for Ferrari today.

It would have been better if Charles was in the race & true race pace should be an indicator.
Yup. In general Sainz race pace is not the benchmark.
For RB- Max, AM-Alonso, Mercs- Ham & Russell, Ferrari - Charles.
The reason is Sainz doesn’t belong to above league.
On top of it, I believe RB too didn’t show their true race pace. Once Max got the lead it’s all about tyre management & conservative Engine.
Forgot to mention other point to be noted, Man that RB top speed is super. When they open the DRS, it’s like a hell of a thing.
