Slow stop for #51 which will put it down the order a bit.

OMG, one setback after another, Ferrari's weekend is so far not going to plan in any series. But still plenty of time to recover, with luck.

OMG, one setback after another, Ferrari's weekend is so far not going to plan in any series.

It's been 2 hours of silly mistakes and picking up penalties for the #50 car and that's the one which seems to have the most pace out of the 2. Toyota were always going to be favourites for the race but I didn't expect it to be as easy as it has been for them.

18:14:00 Hypercar H #51 Driver change (PIER GUIDI, Alessandro to CALADO, James)

[PURE PASSION]

so it looks we have the same pace with Cadillac & Porsche and far away from Toyotas!!!

[458 Italia]

It looks like that both Ferraris will be lapped soon, #50 already has been and the Toyotas are closing in on #51

I have to assume the hot track temps has hurt our performance.

[458 Italia]

19:49:54 Hypercar H #50 Driver change (MOLINA, Miguel to NIELSEN, Nicklas)

[458 Italia]

Both cars struggling for grip.

[458 Italia]

19:59:28 Hypercar H #51 Driver change (CALADO, James to GIOVINAZZI, Antonio)

[458 Italia]

Track temp as dropped by a couple of degrees, would be nice if we could start to show some of the pace from yesterday.

Giovinazzi best lap 1,5s slower than team mates

Giovinazzi best lap 1,5s slower than team mates

The #51 car has been slower than the #50 the whole race, it's not only Gio that's driving it though, the cars have 3 drivers who take turns to do stints.

[nuni]

Yes, I know. I was saying the other 2 drivers best lap was almost 1,5 sec faster

Piero Guidi - 1 : 48 . 892
Calado - 1 : 48 . 971
Giovinazzi - 1 : 50 . 315

Same car

Oh apologies!

I hadn't seen those times only the best overall.

[nuni]

Of course the more important is consistency, and not a killer lap but he doesn´t look good on that too. Probably not used to drive in traffic.

[458 Italia]

Indeed! I know what you mean though Guidi hasn't looked the most comfortable in the car but he is the one with the fastest lap still. I do think that this track is an anomaly though, I can't think if Giovinazzi has driven at Sebring before.

[458 Italia]

Oh great now #51 is damaged in a coming together, Guidi driving.

1:59:05 Race Control INCIDENT BETWENN CAR 51 AND 56 UNDER INVESTIGATION

Lots of damage.

Ferrari #54 involved in the middle of all of it.

[458 Italia]

They are actually using a saw trying to hack material around the break off.

[458 Italia]

[458 Italia]

James Calado doesn't sound that confident about the car getting out again

[458 Italia]

Jacques V is VERY lucky there!
