    again, we're just speculating how much fuel he has....how heavy is he??? no one but the team knows
    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.

    Ya, I feel the same way. It’s sad, embarrassing, and amusing. Feel completely helpless as well..knowing no matter what we do this season, like the last 5 and the next few are all already wrapped up. There is nothing Ferrari can do about it. We know the outcome yet still watch...sucks to be a Ferrari fan lol

    I don't see Ferrari's performance changing in 2021. Something is systematically wrong. It's been 10 years and we are still a full second slower than the Mercs.

    Maybe the performance Ferrari had in the first half was luck, maybe it was Merc toying with Ferrari to make a better show, maybe the FIA really did catch Ferrari's batter trick. It's just frustrating. I have a feeling we don't see a WDC/WCC for at least another decade.

    I suspect that the team know that without the "trick" on the engine side, we are not anymore a real contender. We had the fastest car, we rule them at some point on the season. But now, that suddenly our car dos not have anymore the engine advantage I guess the team and vettel are more relaxed because they know that is impossible to win another race this season. That why vettel looked so chill and relaxed

    Someone must know something. Why did Ferrari won 5 GPs? Why did Ferrari get a few pole positions and now we're 1 second behind? That someone has to come forward and explain what the hell has happened to our car's pace. Why? Why?

    It's not the car, it's the driver. We need Max @ Ferrari . He hungers for the win every race. Leclerc needs time, Max is ready! Like it or not, Lewis puts his top car to good use. Seb has a top car, but?? Max has 1/2 a bomb for a car and races the hell out of it.

    Not really. Seb is faster/matching Bottas, it's Hamilton who seems untouchable.

    Great race engineers for vettel.
    His engineer on radio “tyre saving in sector 1 turn8 & turn 13.”
    Vettel replying “ turn8 & turn 13 are not in sector 1”..!!!

    I think it’s down to suspension issue..!! Ferrari updated its suspension from 2nd half of the season at Spa.
