The hot weather will degrade everybody's tyres, he who manages them best wins.Mother nature will have some say in this.Go slow and manage tyres you loose go out guns blazing and your tyres will fall apart, its a balancing act with tyre management.
you refer to low guel runs. Yes till ten it looked quite good. But then on high fuel we run low to high 1:38s while Max low to high 1:37s.
now 1st we started earlier and run mugh bigger stint (almost twice te laps) and 2nd yes we migt run lower on the engines then RBR. In Spain and Austria we had a simular picture o FPs and come Sunday we where much better. Just my only concern is this (except of course the reliability issues) .Do dont have the picture of Imola-Miami tire wise.
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Οκ according to scuderiafans.com our "poor" race pace was only down to lower power settings!!!
Very impressive race sim for Red Bull. Mercedes has older Mediums so their pace isn’t that bad actually, but they aren’t on the same level as Red Bull.
Ferrari seemingly with bad race pace, although Charles Leclerc had some laps in the middle that were compromised by traffic, laps 3-4-5-6. Lap 2 to lap 7 for Charles show similar degradation as to what Red Bull saw with Verstappen. So why is Ferrari slow? Same story as FP1. Ferrari isn’t pushing the engine in the race sim and losing quite a lot of time in the straights, speed advantage in corners for Ferrari is still all there, a sign that tyres haven’t degraded too much.
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!

Following the conclusion of the second free practice session at the Circuit Paul Ricard, British former racing driver and current television announcer for Sky Sports F1 Johnny Herbert felt that, as it stands, Ferrari are the team to beat in France.
He said: “Ferrari’s car has very good balance and it is also very soft on it’s tyres. When you have tyre degradation like you do at the circuit here in France, where it’s very high, that’s where the Ferrari is probably going to gain that little bit more. The Ferrari just has a very soft rotation and a much, much softer way of loading up the tyre.” – he explained.
Ferrari: the new fund works well. Introduction initially planned in Hungary, great work to be able to have the second model already in France. On the F1-75 there is work to be done to limit graining. Confident Leclerc

Well regardless if mercedes are cooking there so called books, they can cook them all they like because its not equating to an on track winning car.By the time this happens the entire season would have been cooked proper, like done and dusted.
Carlos Sainz might get the pole today. he was so fast in the practice session
Very off session for us. RB looks dialled in compared to us today.
What a load of crap mate ferrari have done better than expected and baring some season issues which some could have been managed better ferrari would be a mile ahead dialled in my ****.
Our pace yesterday is gone
For example yesterday we could push on the 2nd lap and te tires where great, now on Lec the tires where not great on the 1st lap and they are gone on the 2nd.
Ves has no problems today and easily can be infront. Lets see in Qualy if it changes again
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Since front row for Charles is nearly a given the most important thing is to be able to keep the mediums and hards alive. If this slow on the single lap and still getting rolled away from tomorrow that's a disaster on the other hand.
I just followed what Charles was doing at the end. One push lap then one cooldown lap and so on. Each push lap was very fast. In S2 the times were almost the same each time (28.4). I'm hoping we still haven't turned up the engine as much as Red Bull.
Just saw results.... What has happend?!?!
RB with Low DF package (which they used in Jeddah) vs Ferrari Medium DF package.
Ferrari did bring new floor to this race. I assume both used it in FP3.
