It’s simple ferrari changed its car concept every year. Rather than building on 2017 & 2018 cars.

It's important not to look at Mercedes or Red Bull pace right now but our pace in the early stages of this race compared to last weekend.

I'm slightly more optimistic for Hungary as we seem okay through corners and it's not a power track like Austria. Never thought I'd be saying this a year ago!

So true. 2019 wing changes threw them off they thought downforce could not be replaced so went all in on low drag. Weird thing is this years concept with more downforce and that engine probably would of put them in a huge title fight last year. As engine was never proven to be cheating could of had the title last year but didn't. They need stability, nothing happens overnight, they should stick to a concept and chisel away at it, may take a few years but as long as theres a general trend of improvement it's the foundation to future success.

Next week will be small upgrades as major upgrades came these week. And as Binotto confirmed that these upgrades didn't work, Hungary updates won't work either. The question is has the car remained same on pace after this big upgrade or it has become even slower?

Hungary was said to be a new direction how can a front wing and floor designed for a different direction work in conjunction with existing barge boards etc that were for a different concept. The new parts were not needed this weekend it was a political move by the boss of Ferrari just to look like something is being done, he should of butted out. If Ferrari have a Merc clone for next week but not all parts were ready sticking a Merc floor and front wing on this car would not work yet we know Merc front wing and floor in conjunction with the rest of the car is the best. I am only using this as an example as Ferrari will not have a Merc clone but the upgrade needs to be judged next week with the whole package not this week.

Hard to judge this week anyway with the rain. But it did look a bit quicker in practice.
