    If it’s high deg, ferrari wouldn’t have improved on their 2nd run of Softs.
    Max did try second run of Sots but couldn’t improve.

    I assume it’s down low engine settings.

    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.

    He will take further engine penalty as well. Just they will confirm at last moment.

    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

    That was my original concern, because Ferrari had more windtunnel and CFD time than others, they may have eaten (most likely the case) more of their budget pre-launch, leaving less for developments vs RB...

    They're clearly just going to cook the books. It's what high paid accountants do. Those accountants can literally take tens of millions, and make it look like chump change. They do it for rich people to avoid paying taxes all the time. It's no thing for them.

    Binotto brought attention to how much Mercedes and Red Bull are spending, so they can't turn around and complain if Ferrari do the same in kind.
    Careful, I'm an accountant, we can't just cook the books, in most countries, accountants can't actually commit fraud and retain their designations. In Canada, a CPA loses their designation if they commit fraud.

    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.

    Yeh , its strange how things can change from 1 day to another. Its not that RedBull find their set-up and tey are fast , but that we went a step back. Of corse all this is what we see now in FP3

    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

    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.

    We have been behind Red Bull in race pace simulation in FP2 all season until Sunday, idk why are people pointing this as a big problem. Every week we see the same in FP2. Just this FP3 have some strange things that make me worry about 1 lap pace

    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.
