What's your problem with Seb. I don't get why some on here don't like him. As Ferrari fans we should love him. He's won many winners' trophies for us against a dominant car. We loved Michael in the nineties when he was winning cups for us even if he didn't win the championship. Why not Seb?
Seb is in bad shape every race because they took away the grid girls! Forget the tires, those girls made the drivers pay attention!
There you said it. Seb can't be 6 tenths behind his team mate without anything wrong his car. I haven't seen the sector times but someone was saying he was 3 tenths slower than Leclerc in 1st sector alone, the sector which Ferrari is strongest in due to engine. The bad thing about it is if you struggle in qualifying, you will usually struggle in race too. He is on course to finish 6th, may pick off Gasly at most.
Nothing wrong with the car he said so himself
Interviewer: “The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you?”
Kimi: “It protects my head.”
Well Vettel said that without even doing anything, you are automatically faster in Q3 than in Q1 but he said he was doing the same laptimes all the time whether it was Q1 or Q2 or Q3.
Q1 - 1:25.898
Q2 - 1:26.023
Q3 - 1:25.787
Among the top 6 drivers, in Q3, except Vettel, every driver improved massively.
What I miss during the Schumacher, early Kimi and then Alonso days, was a Ferrari that got better and better during races, which would add real hope and excitement for Ferrari fans. Today, we have the opposite where the car seems to have brief period of competitive speed and then just tapers off some 5 laps after a pitstop. The Mercedes and Red Bulls get better and better during the races, while we lose pace, eventually leaving the door open for them to pass with ease. I hope that something will give and stop this rot because it's demoralising!
Yes, but it's also up to the car to turn the tyres on, which the Ferraris of the previous era were able to do so better than the competition. If others can do so now, then Ferrari can also find a way to do so as well (hoping)
Nope. The configuration change Ferrari did in Austria unlocked the car for Leclerc. You can see he was struggling the races before but since Austria, he is very happy. But it only unlocked the car for Leclerc, Vettel is having the same issues since Australia except for a odd race or two in between. Maybe once they complete the current "fixing" of car issues, both drivers will be comfortable and confident with it.
Why go against Seb with the cars development. We should be giving the man what he wants.
