Red Bull just ridiculous in S3.

**Greig** · 2nd July 2023, 15:21

Sainz only races hard against Charles....

I think Canada was a fluke for us in terms of tire deg
I mean the upgrades have made the car better in that regard, but we still have crappy tire wear

I mean we’re still 21 seconds off the lead

Would be a language thing. Overly aggressive, etc.

We need 0.3-0.4 to keep up with RB. It doesnt look that big but it is indeed.

Agreed

Very good race from both our drivers and another step forward by the team… tire deg although not as good as Canada still pretty good.

Considering we have a new floor and front wing that we have barely had time to learn how to set up… thing are looking a lot better

Yes that's our target now . But 0.3 is not easy to find now since we're half-year behind RB cuz we had to fixed our problem

Lando caught dead to rights

From faster than Charles to now 15 seconds behind and losing time every lap. But nonetheless, his performance today is impressive.

**tifosi1993** · 2nd July 2023, 15:25

Charles's lap times are now similar to Max.

I think reason why is that he destroyed his tyre while defending against Perez

**stefa** · 2nd July 2023, 15:26

MV pitted for FL. They have that much!!!!

**killer** · 2nd July 2023, 15:26

What a bunch of Red Bull are.

**Greig** · 2nd July 2023, 15:27

Max just never lets up.

He also had 3 DRS zones and Ferrari was asking Charles to conserve his tyres. As soon as he lost the DRS the pace difference emerged.

**killer** · 2nd July 2023, 15:28

A 5s for Perez would be nice

**Greig** · 2nd July 2023, 15:29

Good job today, best we could probably do, well ahead of the mighty Merc and AM.

**tifosi1993** · 2nd July 2023, 15:29

Well done to Ferrari. P2 and P4 and easily the 2nd best team. But we need bigger upgrades if we want to leapfrog Max and the RB.

**Aviamata** · 2nd July 2023, 15:29

Nice race ! , we're closing the gap on Merc and AM

**killer** · 2nd July 2023, 15:29

Good good effort today.

**Greig** · 2nd July 2023, 15:30

Only 5s behind Red Bull, gap is closed!!!

**stefa** · 2nd July 2023, 15:30

Good haul of points for Ferrari

**JacKy** · 2nd July 2023, 15:30

Race Pace order like ( For this race )

RB 0.0
Fer +0.4
MC +0.65
Aston +0.75
Merc +0.8

I mean we looked dreadful 2 months ago. It is nice to back on podium
