    so did mercedes
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    so is the merc showing their cards already?? are we sanbagging?? or is it a typical Free practice and no one knows where everyone stands??

    but from previous two races we saw a really strong merc in australia as shown in FP and a dodgy Merc in Bahrain where we topped the time sheets and we were strong all weekend there.....so JUST SAYING.....

    Cooler conditions favour Mercedes. Looks like our only option to beat them this weekend will be down to strategy

    I think we are sandbagging. Last year's pole was a 1:31:6 I think. FP1 means nothing. Max on the other hand.....another mistake

    Merc looks clear favourite (as expected). Close between us and redbull. I think we can have them in quali, but not so sure about the race. Should be an interesting weekend!

    I love the under dog in sport the victory is so much sweeter and defeat of the favorite inflicts phyco logical damage that they believe they are beaten and self distruct ferrari can play this game well the pressure is on merc.

    Would be good to see RAI on long stints in FP2. He seems comfortable with the car light(er) but is challenged when he has a full tank. I reference the past 2 GPs.

    Remember that we are also analysing our new floor and what is the difference comparing with the old one. Thank god there is no rain for FP1,FP2, we are getting big amounts of data.

    @tgruenerFerrari comparing different rearwing specs in FP1. Vettel (upper pic) with less downforce. #AMuS

    Many test items for Ferrari for FP2, dont expect a fast lap-time from them.

    I'd also like to think that they may try wet weather set ups if rain is looming come the weekend.
