Definitely early days..but we are only .228 down while on the medium. So it looks promising, let’s hope it carries over in to Q3!

Blast Charles picks up debris from Zhou's car in the floor area. The mechanics are busy fixing it. Let's hope it's not too serious. It's all he needed.

Nope, floor was ok and he was laying down rubbers in the pitlane and did the practice race start just fine.

Charles-SF24 was the fastest package in FP1. Had the pace and was flying on both hards and mediums tyres.

The balance looked great and the car looked compliant to the demands Charles was asking from it. Early days and it is Monaco, but looking really good.

reports that charles’ car is not at 100%: they couldn’t repair fully the damage done by the debris, one part in particular.

but also, nothing major! they will repair it, not this session

He did the fastest S1 just after setting his PB on the mediums, he had traffic in the 2nd sector so backed off on that lap, which could've been easily P1. Then Red Flag came and after that didn't bother with fast laps.

racingbradley
24th May 2024, 13:59
Hopefully they can fully repair the damaged part of the floor before FP2. The Mercs and Mclarens are looking good here and of course you can never rule out RB even when they are slow on a Friday.

We saw the glimpse of his raw speed in 2022, when he had a car just like this one, plenty of downforce and a good front end. The upgrades Ferrari brought in the last race moved the car more to Charles's preference.

24th May 2024, 16:46
Best sectors:

S1: Charles (18.468) vs Lewis (18.667)

S3: Charles (18.866) vs Lewis (18.961)

Let’s hope Charles can put the lap together when it counts and get Pole! Hopefully his new engineer and Ferrari will give him the perfect strategy and opportunity to win.

With any luck, Carlos can come P2 and we can dictate the race/strategy.

For me Leclerc is here to prove something & he’s nailing it at the moment with absolute dominance.

WHAT, one race only mate the whole season?? i think it will be MORE coming from Ferrari and Charles for the rest of the season as the upgrades Ferrari have brought last race, I personally think that we're up ther with red bull adn Mclaren; it's a matter of fine tuning the package and i'm sure Ferrari are working flat out to do just that....i think there'll be surprise Ferrari for the remainder of hte season

tifosi1993
24th May 2024, 17:11
Yeah, he said his long runs were a "disaster" and Bozzi said they will review.

But they need to stay focused for the pole. If Charles gets the pole, he can lap 3-4 seconds slower and still no one would be able to overtake him.

true, but someone can overcut him, as the overcut at monaco is SUPER powerful and come out ahead
so me thinks that a small tweak to the setup need to be done so his race pace won't be this horrible AND hopefuflly won't affect the ONE LAP pace too much

Kyss4k
24th May 2024, 17:20
Well can't it be that he pushed the tyres really hard basically lap after lap, setting purple sectors, so they were quite done before the race sim even started? I don't think they use new tyres for race sim, do they?

Ι think he said something like that . i posted it above. I think the " 1st set " he refers,is the set he had in the start of the session and he pushed them quite hard .
Any how, as we cannot take for granted his superiority in Q tomorrow, the same his pace on Sunday could be good

from this ,it doesnt look bad. NOT bad at all. All drivers where doing 1:16s and very few low 1:15s like Lec . And as elano said Sain was the best. So not many worries in race pace

elnano14
24th May 2024, 18:37
As long as we get pole tomorrow, then the race will be our (well unless it's 2022 situation again), undercut is useless because of traffic and you can not overtake the car in front even if you're 1s faster in race pace
So get pole, get track position, dictate the pace and manage the tyres, stay long and overcut the cars behind

Cavallino
24th May 2024, 20:38
if you can get Carlos into P2, then even if the race pace is a "disaster", it doesn't matter.

Exactly. This is a long season and this is just starting the push of Ferrari after the EVO.
Quite frankly I am waiting for the next races, I have high hopes for the next races (for instance Canada) as we'll be fine tuning the EVO pacakge as we'll be reaching for Silverstone where the next update will be coming.

So, our best chance ? Not by long shot, I believe we have a good change for the WCC after a long time.

Not "horrible", mate. The car was good and Charles's long run pace was still better than 98% of the field. It is all about the pole here.

Hopefully no rain in Q3 or for the race tomorrow.

FP3 we are on equal with Max engine modes.

For me it looks completely the set up & tyre warm up issue. Replicating the form of Friday to Saturday, Ferrari is finding it hard.

Maybe Charles is just playing it safe and keeping the risks in check until Q3? Also minimizing track time to avoid angry stewards if someone comes too close in a twisty sector. Considering the FP3 time he should be able to lower what he's been doing.

Hopefully the Q3 street master shows up.

Please good launch tomorrow and no surprise rain!

Epic lap as per usual from Charles around that place. Those 1.5 tenths were all him. Nothing in between in terms of the car performance between the Ferrari and the McLaren today.

This lap is faster than his 2021 pole lap as well. What a mighty effort. Great job Charles, great job SF24 2.0, great job Bozzi, great job everyone. :thumb

50% job is done.

Charles need to have a good launch at the start tomorrow. Thats it. He can control the pace.

Ferrari strategy team should be alert as there is always high chance of SC here.

Sainz to P2 would give ideal buffer for Charles tomorrow. Hence both cars needs good launch tomorrow.

I don't want to jinx it (again), but in F1 Ive noticed in previous years that I'm kind of jinxed in my thoughts through the weekend. So I started to be more pessimistic and allow a sudden, POLEEEE!!!!!!!
That's what I like to see. Lec lowering times lap bu lap !!!!
That's 60% of the race win. Another 20+% a good start and he has the win !!!!
( Whoops is it good to say it ???!!!)

Since 1988, it's an 80% win in the race IF you're P1 on pole here at Monaco.

I’m more concerned about McLaren now. They are quite a threat going ahead at next races.
S1 is still a concern for Ferrari. Not sure is there any chance to overcome it.

As Fred said, Silverstone package is the one they are aiming at which would overcome the weakness of SF-24. Let’s hope for the best.

Counter-jinx is really a thing for us Tifosi , I do that in my mind too and it's work !

For me it’s 50% because it is Ferrari, you know anything can happen with Pitstops + strategy.

I still remember 2022, how dominant leclerc was but the team let him down. Irony is that, Mattia Binotto defended the strategy. Pathetic.

Another great day's work from Charles.
I don't like Piastri directly behind him would have preferred Carlos.
Tomorrow fingers crossed.

Potential 3 place grid penalty for Sainz, looks like a slam dunk one
Charles will have to 1 vs 2 McLaren tomorrow

Ferrari looked good in practice yesterday and now they have got Q1 and Q3. So far so good in Monaco. Things are looking good for Leclerc to get his first home win tomorrow.

holy crap nice one! From both drivers, but daaaamn 1:10.2 is monstrous. And as a cherry on top, Perez is over and Verstappen (or today Crashstappen again) cracked under pressure and is down in the midfield. Aaaaaaand Czech Republic won with Sweden and will play finals in ice hockey world championship. What a day :)) Thank you Ferrari :ferrarifl

There’s a potential penalty for Sainz (3 place grid drop) for impeding Albon. It’s not getting better.


Saw the replay, he hasn't done anything that'd worth a penalty

No grid penalty for Carlos, as expected. This is Monaco and he got out of the way of Albon as fast as he could. Good to see some common sense from the stewards.

Good for us now. All we need a good launch from both drivers & get 1-2 done. This is our best chance again to trim the WCC & WDC lead.

Considering what happened to Charles last year I'm shocked the stewards have now apparently realised what the confines of Monaco look like. Fair play to them I guess although BS penalties like Vettel in Austria 2018 where they literally said the driver had no chance to avoid it and lost a guaranteed win still stings. 10 extra points for Vettel that race and you'd never know what 2018 would've looked like.

Maybe this will be a good lesson for those who were all doom and gloom before LEC getting the POLE and then P1 in the race.
I had not had the chance (for health reasons) to be in the forum during the weekend (altho I did watch all that transcribed during the race weekend) and some of the comment I need to say were hillarious.

Have more faith to the team. We're on an upwards trajectory. Things can only get better.
