Ferrari F1-75 Discussion Thread

[Cavallino]

i'm pretty sure he was exaggerating.

indeed. i'm saying DRS is wayyy too overpowered this year. then you have excessive DRS zones, on tracks like Jeddah where overtaking is already entirely possible

there are people saying that Spain proved that F1 still needs DRS, but Spain is the exception for lack of overtaking on the current calendar. same with Monaco. Normal tracks, we should get acceptable overtaking without DRS imo.

DRS basically ensures a faster car will overtake, especially if they already have a near 10 km/h advantage or more.

Seems to only help the racing when the cars have very similar top speeds or performance.

So, apparently, they mounted a new turbo on Charles’s PU, but also the old mgu-h, surely to avoid a penalty when upgrading the electrical components

[Gilles]

The new low drag wing + new mirror

What Binotto said is extremely sensible.
He wants the pressure off the shoulders of the team members. He clearly says that ppl want the championships, but he says that they will not be judged badly if they fail.
Very smart.

Binotto obviously didn't read any of the last race posts here at our Ferrari forum! Team pressure to win is the main incentive to use all the hard work done by everyone come race time. Carlos and Charles are for sure doing their best. There's no room for compromise when fighting for the title! They need [THE CAR !] And the porpoising needs to be corrected at all costs. All the drivers are suffering big time! During and after the races.

Good thing he didn't read your nonsense!

He just trusts the fastest man on the planet, Charles!

[Brembo]

Good thing he didn't read your nonsense!

He just thrusts the fastest man on the planet, Charles!

Did you mean trusts ? No team pressure to win? Just show up and do what you can, win or fail ; no prob. I also trust both Carlos and Charles to do the bst they can.

Just don't react to him. He will get tired of talking to himself.

[Brembo]

Both Ferrari's D N F ! No pressure on the team members. Just show up and do what you can.

[stefa]

Obviously not, coz he is ****** ***** troll!!! And mods are not doing anything to stop it!

[458 Italia]

Obviously not, coz he is autistic retarded troll!!! And mods are not doing anything to stop it!

I think he's basically praying for some sort of hamilton resurgence still this season and is probably quite satisfied with today's result despite the Ferrari double DNF.

You are more likely to get banned with comments like this tbh.

Use the ignore function if you don't want to read his comments. View profile, add to ignore.

[Super M]

Can we all put away our angry views aside and rather discuss what we can do for the next GP.

Is our cooling system not right for this PU unit ?

Can we change our air ducts for more ventilation ?

What can our boys do for Canada...............Or is it doom and gloom ?

[Brembo]

Good thing he didn't read your nonsense!

He just trusts the fastest man on the planet, Charles!

Look where that got him [us fans] last race!

[FerrariF60]

so what now, the FIA don't allow us to fix our engines for reliability concerns/problems????

that is load of crap.....maybe Merc and Honda have an input on this and they dont' agree that we should be able to fix the issues

How is that even freaking possible?! Is this a joke? Are we a joke to F1? It was said that changes due to reliability will be allowed and now that when WE need them? Maybe we should try the Merc and Red Bull tactic and threaten to leave F1. It's time to be strong again Ferrari, push the politics, get an edge, make everyone else fear us.

If we are not allowed to make changes to the engine, the season is probably really over. And not just this season. Next 4 years as well.

It's actually telling that Ferrari requested a reliability upgrade before this. It means the team suspected the PU had issues, in which case why on earth did they use the PU2 on Leclerc again? Now that they've lost a PU, I suspect the FIA will grant the request.

Regardless, it's not the end of the world that Ferrari will have to likely use double the PU's others are using. Run the PU to the max when it's fresh, conserve it for a race or so, get a new one, take the next penalty, then do it all over again.

If Leclerc has to drop 5 places he can make short work of the Mercedes, get by Sainz, and then go after the Red Bull's. They should go for it in Canada. LDF RW and new PU might give Leclerc a chance.

Of course, the circus on the wall will be Leclerc's greatest enemy.

[Greig]

Yawn....same circus that got him into P1 yesterday?

Let's spend our budget on engines every other race though, brilliant idea....

And that's my pet-peev. IF Ferrari have to use extra PU's that are allowed, why should Leclerc be penalized for it??? This is a Ferrari issue not a driver issue. So why not penalize Ferrari in the WCC standing by deducting points from the team RATHER than from the driver. It's not Leclerc's fault ....he doesn't make the PU. That's my 2 cents.

You mean when his engine when boom? Or where you talking about the amazing Monaco strategy?

I guess it will depend on why it's failing, is it because of the bouncing and overheating as stated on here? Well then that's up to us to fix. If its an inherent flaw then I am sure we will be allowed to fix it once we provide that info to the FIA.

[Greig]

The pitwall made his engine go? Strategy was good yesterday....but let's not mention it no more.

LOL! And that strategy was laughable yesterday, too. Red Bull were eating Charles lead fast, and would've needed a second stop.

[Greig]

Again making things up....Charles had track position and showed he could easily defend from Max, as he said he was managing his tyres just fine.

Must be horrible being you always looking to put the team down you claim to support.

I agree that the drivers shouldn't be penalised, but it's always been said that the Constructors' championship means more to the team's finances and reputation. And if penalties are enforced for taking extra PUs or whatever, points aren't deducted from a driver in any case, and the likelihood of getting any points starting mid-grid is open to question too. I know you know this, but just saying!

Do you have any idea how many members on this forum "put the team down" yesterday because of sheer frustration????

Would just open it up to title contenders getting a new engine every race. WCC money matters to the midfield but the top teams are all about winning the WDC.

I take your point, Greig, and for most fans I dare say the WDC is just as important as the WCC, but if some of us have a favourite driver, it's harder to accept when he is denied what he works so hard for.
